GB Newsโ Alex Armstrong laid out the geopolitical map that American media refuses to draw: this war isnโt about toppling Iran. Itโs about ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐ซ โ and America is winning on every front.

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has claimed Iran as the โdefinitive victorsโ in the war against the US and Israel in a statement read on Iranian state TV.
Leftists so want Islam to win against America and Israel. Who better to articulate that longing than better than Michael Moore (by Anna Young at The New York Post):
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore torched the US as the โbad guysโ in the war with Iran — while hailing the Middle Eastern nation as one of the worldโs โgreatest civilizationsโ …ย calling President Trump a โterroristโ for threatening a โholocaustโ after the commander in chief warned Iran that its โwhole civilizationโ would be wiped out if the nation failed to cut a ceasefire deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the six-week conflict.
โOur leaders and our media are stupid enough to keep asking questions like โwhy do they hate us?โ Hate us?! They donโt hate US! WE HATE THEM!โ Moore raged on his Substack. …
Moore then blasted the US as the โonly nation sick and violent enoughโ to use nuclear weapons, while bizarrely praising Tehran for building a diverse global power, advancing human rights, and leading the world on multiple fronts.
โIran is the cradle of one of the greatest civilizations this planet has ever seen,โ the โFahrenheit 9/11โ filmmaker wrote. …
Moore called on the US military to disobey โillegalโ and โimmoralโ orders, urged Congress to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and demanded the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Trump from office.
Sure Michael.
