American tech giant Palantir now powers US military AI targeting in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran, with its algorithms driving mass surveillance and indiscriminate killing, prompting Iran to designate the company a legitimate military target.

Iran holds a clear upper hand after the recent 40-day imposed war, exercising firm control over the Strait of Hormuz, standing its ground on nuclear rights, and keeping unused cards – including NPT membership.

After a major military defeat and diplomatic debacle in Islamabad, a desperate US has lost all leverage and is now peddling lies about Iran's “internal divisions” to hide ground realities.

Iran, the victor of the 40-day imposed war, will negotiate only to permanently end the imposed war, not over its missile, nuclear, or defense capabilities. Those red lines are non-negotiable.

US has never faced an adversary quite like Iran, says a Brazilian military analyst, drawing sharp contrasts between the current confrontation and America's past wars.
