Maybe it should. Time is drawing short. The U.S. has communicated its position. Will the Regime tell us its response? “Iran says it did not request negotiations with the U.S.” Reuters, 1-28-26.
I think the BBC knows the answer to its question. “Is the US preparing to strike Iran again?,” BBC, 1-28-26. The real question is what happens next.
Perhaps you know of the Long War Journal. Really good. And, correct, it is a long view that we have to take to operate properly. “Iran and its proxies threaten retaliation against US and Israel amid US military buildup,” FDD Long War Journal, 1-28-26.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn asked Sec. Rubio what step the Supreme Leader may take next. “Cornyn Questions Sec. Rubio on Potential Fall of Iranian Regime, Middle East Posture,” YouTube, 1-28-26. The thousands of UAVs and short-range ballistic missiles are a real threat to the 8-9 U.S. bases in the Middle East.
“Iran in collective shock after bloody crackdown,” LeMonde, 1-28-26.
This really is a good opportunity for the reporter or news outlet to challenge the statements being made by the Regime operatives. If they truly have complete control, how does this IRGC commander explain the two U.S. warships sitting in the strait? If these outlets won’t ask, then they shouldn’t run with these stories, or should include in the stories the reality of the situation. See “Iran says it has ‘complete control’ of Strait of Hormuz as threat of war with US looms,” MEMO, 1-28-26.
