Iran is not — and never was — an Islamic country by origin.
It is Persia, one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, founded by King Cyrus the Great, a ruler revered not only in Persian history but also in Jewish and biblical history for freeing the Jews from Babylonian captivity.
This episode breaks down:
Why Persians are NOT Arabs
Why Islam came thousands of years after Persia already existed
How the 1979 Iranian Revolution was NOT an organic uprising
The Cold War reality: Communism + Islamists vs the West
How the Islamic Republic was imposed, not chosen
Why millions of Persians today want freedom from an oppressive regime
The historical alliance between Persia and the Jewish people
Why conflating Iran with Islam is historically false and dangerous
This is not propaganda.
This is history, geopolitics, and truth that most people were never taught.
If you want to understand Iran, the Middle East, and why the Persian people are rising up, you need to understand this first.#Iran

Today, the most insane news is coming from the Liman direction. 

Recent reports from Ukrainian soldiers on the ground show that after clearing the forest south of Liman, Ukrainians just kept advancing and pushing Russians further back. Taking advantage of their newly captured territory, Ukrainians crossed over the river into the rear of the Russian advance on Sloviansk and collapsed it completely. 

For several months, Russians had been achieving a slow but gradual advance toward the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk through their infiltration tactics. The absence of any engineering fortifications such as deep anti-tank ditches or lines of razorwire meant that Russian infiltrators were never funneled into concentrated kill zones for Ukrainian defenders to eliminate. While Russians suffered notable losses during their advance, they had been successfully able to push Ukrainian lines back to the town of Mykolaivka. This is where Ukrainian engineering fortifications began again, and Russian forces were already launching their first probing assaults by the time Operation Vivaldi kicked into gear at Liman. 

However, this Russian push was fully dependent on their flanks being secured by the Serebryanski forest and the Donets River to the north, where Russian forces had been attempting to infiltrate into Liman. As Russian lines broke at Liman, so did the flank of the Russian force grouping advancing on Ukraine’s fortress belt. The biggest problem for Russians then became clear, as their denial about the severity of Ukrainian advances and lost territory left the Russian force grouping to the south completely unaware of the new threat on their flanks. 

Ukrainians immediately took advantage, and dedicated a good number of forces to crossing the river and engaging with the Russian forces in the rear of the Sloviansk offensive. Notably, these Russian forces included drone operators trained by the infamous Rubicon drone brigade, who had been deployed to the sector to train new Russian drone pilots, and are credited for a big portion of the success that Russians have experienced here. Ukrainians themselves positioned their own drone units directly on the frontline, allowing FPV kamikaze and bomber drones to strike deep into the Russian lines and putting Russians under heavy pressure. 

As Ukrainian assaults pinned down Russian fire and drone support units, Ukrainians initiated sector-wide counterattacks from the direction of Mykolaivka. These forces moved quickly to maintain their shock advantage, surrounding Russian forces before penetrating rapidly and deeply into Russian lines. As the Ukrainian force grouping from Mykolaivka advanced, they linked up with assault units that had crossed the river from Liman before continuing the advance. Ukrainian soldiers report that Russians had poorly consolidated their positions here in their hurry to advance. This allowed Ukrainian counterattacks to snowball to the point that Ukrainians began fully overrunning Russian drone pilots, frontline logistics depots, and low-level Russian command centers. As a result, Ukrainians captured an additional two hundred square kilometers south of the forest, and there is no report yet of the advance coming to a halt. 

Overall, the recent Ukrainian counterattacks into the Serebryanski forest and the Russian advance east of Mykolaivka have brought the total amount of liberated Ukrainian territory to a staggering eight hundred square kilometers. At this point, Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi is turning from operational counterattacks to a full-blown sector-wide counteroffensive. Undoing over one-and-a-half years of Russian gains along a sixty-kilometer-wide frontline, and collapsing the Russian advance on one of the largest Ukrainian fortress cities left in Donbas.

Physician Dr. Omer Awan joins LiveNOW's Austin Westfall to dive into what kratom is after the substance was found packaged near the bodies of two students at Ole Miss this week.

The victims have been identified as Robert Strang, a 20-year-old junior from Atlanta, and Aidan Hamilton, an 18-year-old freshman from Colorado. Toxicology reports are expected to be completed as early as next week, according to officials.

Meantime, Oxford police have announced the arrests of two men in a narcotics investigation connected to a local tobacco shop. It's not clear if the arrests have any connection to the student deaths.

Victor Davis Hanson examines whether woke politics has truly faded or whether Democrats are simply changing their message ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Hanson discusses the rise of Democratic candidates James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, and why Republicans cannot afford to dismiss their opponents or assume traditionally favorable races are already won.
Victor and Sami Winc also react to Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations and the walkout by delegates during his remarks, before continuing their series on American presidents with a look at Harry Truman and James Buchanan.

Things are just getting started in the east

Operation Vivaldi is off and running and today, we’re talking with a member of the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps to get an idea of what we’re seeing and maybe more importantly, how much is still yet to be released.

SGT John "Jackie" Roberts is an American veteran who has been fighting in Ukraine since 2022. He now serves as a Senior American Military Instructor the 3rd Army Corps who is leading this current offensive in the east.

We get into why this area is so important to warrant an operation of this scale, some of the brand new tactics deployed and what to watch for in the coming months.

President Trump has reportedly rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Wall Street Journal account cited by Reuters, as officials discuss a possible return to military pressure after the U.S. midterm elections. Former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot Max Afterburner breaks down Iran’s conditional seven-day offer, the nuclear concessions Tehran says it will not make, and the U.S. blockade that remains central to the talks. We also examine the Saudi coalition’s reported missile and drone interceptions and what an integrated air-defense network must do to stop mixed threats. In today’s global roundup: Chinese vessels disrupt a Philippine resupply mission at Second Thomas Shoal, Washington proposes Ukraine-Russia technical talks, and Europe watches Russian hybrid activity. This video distinguishes confirmed events, official claims and reporting about private discussions.

«مجنون منم و دیوانه منم» ترانه‌ای عاشقانه و عرفانی درباره دلدادگیو بی‌قراری انسانی است که در عشق محبوب، شکیبایی و قرار خود را از دست داده است و بخاطر بی وفایی یار از همه بُریده است.
در این ترانه، جام و میخانه، شمع و پروانه، دام و دانه و بتخانه، همگی نمادهای شاعرانه‌ای از عشق، سرگشتگی و تسلیم شدن در برابر معشوق‌اند؛ عشقی که عاشق را از جهان بیگانه و به افسانه‌ای جاودانه تبدیل می‌کند.
