If your dad is still alive, this is for you. One day, you’ll bury him. And that’s the day you’ll understand what you really lost. The only man who wanted you to win with no jealousy, no competition, no hidden agenda. He wanted your success more than his own. So while he’s still here… Don’t argue just to win a point. Don’t let ego talk louder than respect. If your pride rises, stay silent. Or walk away. But never disrespect the man who prays for you when you’re not in the room. Call him. Honor him while you can. #FamilyFirst #Respect #Gratitude #baba #sgmm

Trump calls Putin as Iran war escalates and US seeks way out of strategic deadlock

As the US-Israel war with Iran deepens, Donald Trump turns to Vladimir Putin for diplomatic leverage amid Middle East tensions, energy market risks...

The Iranian knot: Why Trump turned to Putin Washington started the war with Iran, but only Moscow may help end it By Dmitry Evstafiev, Professor at the Institute of Media, HSE University, PhD in Political Science The Iranian knot: Why Trump turned to Putin (L) Russian President Vladimir Putin; (R) U.S. President Donald Trump. © Sputnik/Alexey Nikolskiy; Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images US President Donald Trump’s Monday night phone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin was clearly an attempt to find a way out of the strategic impasse that has already begun to emerge in the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran. Washington continues to make bold statements. Trump insists on his right to dictate Iran’s political future and even speculates about appointing the country’s spiritual leader. At the same time, he is urging tanker captains to demonstrate courage and break through what he calls the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Yet the momentum of a major war, initiated by Washington and Tel Aviv, is already building. The political environment around the conflict is shifting in ways that are increasingly uncomfortable for the US. Even some of Washington’s closest partners are distancing themselves. Kuwait, perhaps the most loyal American ally in the Gulf after Jordan, has stated that it did not provide its territory for attacks on Iran, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Meanwhile, Syrian Kurdish groups are urging Iraqis and Iranians not to trust the US. At the same time, reports of behind-the-scenes contacts between Riyadh and Tehran, and between other Arab capitals and Iran, are appearing almost daily. The prospect of relative diplomatic isolation is beginning to loom for Washington. Why Zelensky should fear Trump’s war with Iran Read more Why Zelensky should fear Trump’s war with Iran Of course, Trump’s relationship with Israel remains a strategic alliance. But the current trajectory of the conflict is clearly not what he had in mind when he authorized strikes on Iran. At this point, the logic becomes obvious: it is time to call Moscow. Trump hoped to cut through what might be called the “Iranian knot” by force. The narrative that he could end a forty-year confrontation with Iran through decisive military action was politically attractive in Washington. Instead, the knot has only tightened. Several of its key strands cannot be untangled without Russia’s participation. This was clear from the outset, although for Trump and his team it remained largely theoretical knowledge. Now they are gaining practical experience. The first factor is the decline of American authority in the Middle East, particularly in the Persian Gulf. Not only has the US military infrastructure in the region suffered serious damage, but elements of the broader security architecture that underpin Israel’s defense strategy, including parts of its early warning system, have also been weakened. More importantly, the conflict has demonstrated to regional states that American military and political guarantees are far less reliable than previously assumed. Once such doubts take root, they cannot easily be reversed. The “minced meat,” so to speak, of Washington’s security guarantees to the Gulf monarchies cannot simply be turned back into a whole. Does Trump fully understand this? It is difficult to say. The Iran war risks sucking in more countries – who benefits? Read more The Iran war risks sucking in more countries – who benefits? His attempt to involve Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggests that he may not yet grasp the scale of the strategic shift. Yet the very fact that he called Moscow indicates that he realizes relations with the Arab states cannot be stabilized by Washington alone. The US needs partners. Western Europe, however, is clearly not among them. Whether Trump is ready to pursue collective political action to stabilize the region, and whether he is willing to make serious compromises, remains an open question. The second factor concerns the global hydrocarbon market. What Trump initially described as a temporary “spasm” in energy markets, one that might accelerate a redistribution of supply in favor of the US, now risks developing into a prolonged disruption of global supply chains. Such an outcome would hardly benefit Washington. If the crisis deepens, both the global public and American voters will know exactly who bears responsibility. It will also highlight the vulnerability of maritime energy transport, an area where Washington hoped to strengthen its strategic position. In effect, another attempt to restructure the global hydrocarbon market at Russia’s expense, without Russia and against Russia, has failed. Of course, it would be naïve to assume this will be the last such attempt. But unlike Washington and several other major players, Moscow has spent years preparing for...

Pivotal Moment

USA dosiahli svoj cieľ v Iráne. A preto vojnu prehrajú. 10. marca 2026-prebrané- *** Iránske zhromaždenie expertov zvolilo nového duchovného vodcu Iránskej islamskej republiky. Stal sa ním Mojtba Chameneí. Jeho zvolenie bolo privítané obrovským zhromaždením v centre Teheránu. Toto zhromaždenie dokazuje, že Washington dosiahol to, čo od Iránu chcel: zmenu režimu. K zmene režimu v Iránskej islamskej republike skutočne došlo. Preto USA vojnu prehrajú. V predvečer invázie USA a Izraela vládol na iránskom vrchole chaos a nestabilita. Patrili k nemu duchovné vedenie – ajatolláhovia, sekulárna vláda, bezpečnostné sily – Zbor islamských revolučných gárd (IRGC) a reformný prezident. K tomu sa pridala zjavná protestná nálada v spoločnosti: všetci si pamätali masové nepokoje zo začiatku roka. Toto bol výpočet Washingtonu. USA a Izrael museli zasadiť iba prvý úder a zvyšok by nasledoval. Ľudia, zbavení svojho nenávideného vedenia, by vyšli do ulíc, vypukla by revolúcia a nové vedenie by rýchlo vzdalo republiku Američanom. Iba prísľub okamžitej zmeny režimu ospravedlňoval scenár malej, víťaznej vojny, v ktorej by sa USA nemuseli obťažovať pozemnou inváziou. Pozemnú inváziu by vykonali samotní Iránci. Po desiatich dňoch vojny je jasné, že tento risk sa vyplatil. V Teheráne došlo k zmene režimu. Iránci sú teraz pod stanným právom a zároveň pod vojnovým režimom. Najvyššia rada národnej bezpečnosti Iránu sa stala hlavným rozhodovacím orgánom a hlavnou rozhodovacou mocou sa stala aj IRGC, najdôležitejšia štátna inštitúcia krajiny. Zvolenie veľkého ajatolláha je signálom, že sa vytvorila nová mocenská štruktúra, a zhromaždenie na jeho podporu je demonštráciou kontroly nad ulicami. Organizovanie masového zhromaždenia na podporu vedenia krajiny počas krízy legitimity by bolo jednoducho nebezpečné. Existuje tragická skúsenosť Nicolaeho Ceaușesca v Rumunsku: počas podobného zhromaždenia vypuklo povstanie proti nemu. Ale v Iráne americká agresia zvrátila verejnú náladu. Protesty a nespokojnosť boli aspoň odložené, kým nebude porazený vonkajší nepriateľ. Pretože režim je jedna vec a národ, krajina a vlastenectvo sú niečo úplne iné. Ľudia, ktorí teraz rozhodujú o osude Iránu, určite nemajú záujem o rýchlu kapituláciu a odovzdanie krajiny Američanom. Objektívne, už zo samotnej podstaty svojej moci, majú záujem o dlhú a zdĺhavú vojnu, ktorá bude neustále predlžovať ich núdzové právomoci. Prípadne nezáleží na tom, ako dlho vojna trvá, pokiaľ skončí rozhodným víťazstvom Iránu. Takéto víťazstvo prinesie víťazom česť a obrovský politický vplyv. Presne to sa stalo s IRGC počas iránsko-irackej vojny v 80. rokoch. Pre USA sú obe možnosti katastrofálne. Washington cítil, že všetko ide zle. Je to zrejmé z váhania americkej administratívy v týchto dňoch. Požiadavky na osobný súhlas Donalda Trumpa s novým veľkým ajatolláhom nie sú len predvádzaním sa a hazardom. Sú tiež nešikovným pokusom zabrániť jastrabom dostať sa k moci v Teheráne. Patria sem aj americké náznaky o nových rokovaniach po bodnutí Iráncov do chrbta. Samostatnou otázkou je pokus zapojiť Kurdov do vojny. Cieľ je jasný ako krištáľ. Ak je porážka Iránu nemožná bez pozemnej operácie, nech v jeho púšťach zahynú Kurdi, nie Američania. Kurdi, samozrejme, povedali Washingtonu, nech ide do pekla. Žiadni hlupáci nie sú ochotní zomrieť za americké energetické plány. Pre Biely dom dnes nezostali žiadne dobré scenáre. Sú dva zlé. Jeden jednoducho zlý a jeden hrozný. Jednoducho zlý scenár: Biely dom v poslednej chvíli vyskočí zo svojej pasce. Zastaví vojenskú operáciu a vyhlási, že už všetkých porazil. Pre mnohých nepriateľov Bieleho domu to bude signál, že Akela minul cieľ a že Donalda Trumpa teraz môžu roztrhať na kusy. Desivý scenár: Amerika posiela vojská a pokúša sa obsadiť rozsiahlu krajinu mobilizovanú k odporu. Pre USA by to bola katastrofa horšia ako Vietnam. Druhý Irak, ktorý by sa rozšíril na celý Blízky východ. To by bol začiatok konca amerického impéria.
