Ghalibaf: US appears strong but is vulnerable and at risk
🔹JPMorgan's weekly oil market report began with an unprecedented admission: "For the first time since the conflict with Iran began, we have no baseline scenario. We truly don't know how to model or predict the outcome."
🔹Responding to this, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X: "This is exactly like Schrödinger's paradox: the American empire is like Schrödinger's cabinet with falling plates—outwardly displaying hegemony and superior power, but in reality completely vulnerable and at risk."
🔹"It tries to suffocate Iran without any consequences, which is impossible. This endgame cannot be predicted or simulated in any model. The cabinet door will eventually open—and Iran's hand is already on the handle, controlling the conditions."

Like his father and grandfather, Reza Pahlavi wished to be a Western stooge
The writer argues Reza Pahlavi played the role of "native informant," telling Washington what it wanted to hear—that Iran was ready to fall. He draws parallels with Ahmed Chalabi, whose false intelligence enabled the Iraq war. Pahlavi's narrative, amplified by Manoto and Iran International, served Israeli interests. His father and grandfather also owed their thrones to foreign powers.
