We sit down with Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski to parse Trump’s threat to interdict ships tied to Iranian […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack: On 10 April 2026, I was on Breaking Points talking about why Trump cannot win against Iran if he goes up the escalation ladder and why his only exit option is to concede defeat. Now that the 11-12 April 2026 US-Iranian negotiations in Islamabad have failed, Trump has decided to escalate […]

If ships need to pay a […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: President Trump claims that the US is enforcing a blockade of any vessel that sails out of an Iranian port.

Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 10 April 2026, I was on Glenn Diesen’s popular podcast, mainly talking about the disastrous war in Iran.

On April 9 Antiwar.com news editor Dave DeCamp was the guest on Free the People with Matt Kibbe. They discuss the recent developments in the Iran war — including Trump’s threat to permanently end an entire civilization, the ensuing ceasefire agreement, and the almost immediate collapse of that deal — and question whether there is […]
