Relentless strikes until peace returns to the southern coast
US forces targeted civilian infrastructure across Iran—destroying Chabahar's maritime control tower (killing 8), six bridges in Hormozgan (killing 7), and a railway station in Bandar Abbas. A hospital in Ahvaz was also struck. Since fighting resumed, 38 civilians have been killed and over 400 injured.
Iran responded with Operation Nasr 2: ballistic missiles and drones struck US assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, and Qatar—destroying F-35 hangars, refueling tankers, and HIMARS launchers.
IRGC commander vowed: "Our strikes will continue until calm returns to the southern coast." The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Israel failing to repair brutal reputation among Americans
Despite a $9 million campaign targeting young conservatives—run by Brad Parscale with 100 pieces of content monthly on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube—polling shows support for Israel has continued to deteriorate. Pew found 60% of Americans now view Israel unfavorably, up from 42% in 2022.
Among Republicans aged 18–49, 57% hold unfavorable views. An Israeli official admitted: "We are pissed at Brad Parscale. He was supposed to make things better... Things have only gotten worse."
US Vice President Vance confirmed "people within the Israeli government" are trying to derail Iran negotiations. No amount of media spending can repair Israel's damaged reputation.

How did a needless war become Trump's gravest economic mistake?
At the start of 2026, the US economy showed promise: 2.1% GDP growth, inflation at 2.4%. Then Trump bombed Iran.
Crude oil surged from $70 to $110 per barrel. Gasoline jumped from under $3 to $4.50 per gallon. Fertilizers, plastics, and costs spiraled. A "self-induced supply shock," said his own former Treasury economist.
Now only 32% approve of his economic performance. Polls show 57% believe the economy is worsening.
The crisis of affordability that elected Trump in 2024 has been worsened by his own policies. His needless war is a self-inflicted wound.

Iran's geopolitical position, capacities help SCO reinforce border security
Iran's border guard commander, Brigadier General Ali Akbar Javidan, emphasized this at the SCO Border Services meeting in Islamabad. He said Iran intends to expand security cooperation, information exchange, and combat drug trafficking, organized crime, and smuggling.
Iran can serve as a regional SCO hub for fighting narcotics—having borne heavy human and financial costs as a frontline state against Afghan-origin drugs. UNODC recently praised Iran's achievements in seizing methamphetamine shipments, highlighting the professionalism of Iranian anti-narcotics police.
Iran's role can help transform the SCO into a powerful bloc in the multipolar world.

Persian Garden: A masterpiece of water engineering, geometry and beauty
Inscribed as Iran's 13th UNESCO World Heritage site, the Persian Garden represents over two millennia of wisdom—where architecture, engineering, and philosophy merge. Its roots trace to Cyrus the Great's Pasargadae, introducing the Chahar Bagh (four-part garden) with geometric axes and controlled water flow.
What distinguishes this tradition is its sophisticated water management: qanats, channels, pools, and fountains transformed arid terrain into sustainable paradise.
The nine gardens span Iran's diverse climates—from Hyrcanian forests to central deserts. Each shares geometric precision, water as organizing feature, and harmony between architecture and nature. A living testimony to Persian civilization.
