Mounting U.S. military pressure and a tightening economic embargo have left Iran’s regime searching for negotiations, political intervention, or any other escape route.

Trump’s greatest mistake now would be easing the pressure when the regime may be approaching the point of collapse or losing its ability to wage war through terrorist proxies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

About 20 empty Iranian oil tankers are stranded off Sri Lanka as the U.S. Navy blockade of Iran keeps Tehran’s shadow fleet from getting home, and Iran’s U.N. delegation was told to leave the U.S. a day early. Former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot Max Afterburner breaks down how a naval blockade actually works, from the E-2D Hawkeye and F/A-18 Super Hornet to Aegis destroyers, and why Iran is running out of options as it weighs America’s answer to its 7-day ceasefire plan.
Also in this one: the U.S. completes its withdrawal from Iraq as Iran-backed militias refuse to disarm, the IRGC claims a ballistic missile that hits moving targets, and Russia’s 20-hour drone and missile assault on Kyiv.

Today, the biggest news comes from the Ukrainian border.

Here, a Ukrainian bomber hit a Russian military staging area, reportedly killing at least five soldiers, wounding eight others, and leaving four missing in action, as shown by geolocated footage released by Ukrainian units operating in the area. The attack also destroyed communications equipment and seriously wounded two Russian signalmen, which complicated their ability to maintain cohesion between neighboring units. The site was also being used to assemble small Russian infantry groups before dispersing them throughout Vovchansk to infiltrate Ukrainian positions. In one strike, Ukrainian forces carried out artillery and drone strikes against Russian troop concentrations and support facilities around Vovchansk. Ukrainian forces then carried out additional strikes across the border in Russia’s Belgorod region. Russian troops had converted a building at an abandoned sugar factory into a logistics hub, ammunition depot, and drone operator post supporting their operations in the Kharkiv region. As a result of the strike, the two guided bombs partially destroyed the facility. Separately, Ukrainian FPV drones struck a fuel and lubricants depot in the industrial zone of Shebekino, triggering explosions and fires at the site. This complicated the ability of Russian units to conduct mechanized attacks, while also denying Russian drone crews the opportunity to refill their generators, which are needed to charge their drones.

Russia is using these rear areas to accumulate forces and equipment to send large numbers of additional troops to their forward positions. Their task is to strengthen the forward groups, secure the gaps between them, and surround Ukrainian forces against the international border. In order to deny Russia the opportunity to encircle thousands of Ukrainian troops, Ukraine is attacking the places where Russian troops gather and where their supplies are stored, disrupting reinforcements before they can strengthen the frontline.

The scattered nature of Russian positions in this sector creates a growing demand for troops, because each isolated position requires soldiers not only to continue the attack, but also to hold captured ground and protect the routes connecting these positions. This puts increasing pressure on the Russian command, particularly after it claimed to have completely encircled Ukrainian forces. Every time Ukrainian strikes hit Russian troops, staging areas, or supply lines, additional soldiers and equipment are needed to replace losses and reinforce vulnerable positions. As more resources are diverted to keeping these scattered positions supplied and connected, fewer remain available for further advances, making it increasingly difficult for Russia to turn its claimed encirclement into a fully secured operation.

This means that the alleged encirclement is not complete and is really fragile. Russian forces infiltrated behind Ukrainian lines, but were unable to fully consolidate their gains because of Ukrainian resistance and strikes on the supply lines and staging areas. Much of the ground between Russia’s forward groups remains a grey zone, so neither side fully controls it. Because of the nature of these isolated pockets that are controlled by Russian soldiers, Ukrainian forces can still move through those gaps that were left during the Russian advance. By exploiting these gaps, Ukrainian forces can disrupt the logistics of the Russians and encircle the troops that managed to slip through the Ukrainian defenses.

Overall, Russia now faces a race between bringing in enough fresh troops to complete the encirclement and replacing the forces and equipment being lost to Ukrainian strikes. The positions Russia has already reached still require constant reinforcements, ammunition, and supplies simply to keep them operational. If Ukrainian attacks continue consuming those resources faster than Russia can replace them, the troops needed for the final push will instead be tied down sustaining the positions already captured. This means that Russia’s ability to complete the encirclement depends not only on advancing further, but on whether it can generate enough additional forces to do so without exhausting the resources needed to hold its current gains.

European nations are turning against Israel while downplaying the realities of October 7 and applying a different standard to Israel’s response to terrorism.

Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler focus on Ireland and Spain’s increasingly anti-Israel rhetoric and the refusal to confront the brutality of the October 7 attacks. They also highlight the irony that Israeli doctors once saved the life of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by removing a brain tumor while he was imprisoned in Israel.

Hanson also pushes back on claims that the conflict with Iran is becoming another “forever war,” arguing that Iran’s weakened infrastructure and limited American combat losses tell a very different story.

The conversation also covers the growing race for artificial intelligence dominance, Elon Musk’s success with companies like SpaceX and Starlink, the release on bail of five suspects arrested with explosives near a British airbase used by the United States, and the political dynamics heading into the midterm elections.

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.

I examine Ukraine’s reported first combat use of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile amid a major overnight drone and missile campaign against targets across Russia. With a reported range of up to 300 kilometers and a payload of up to 200 kilograms, the FP-7 could put Russia’s dense near-border logistics network, ammunition sites, airfields, and glide-bomb infrastructure at greater risk—if Ukraine can sustain serial production and employ it effectively.

I also break down reported strikes on the Samara oil-pumping and petrochemical complex, the Lukoil Volgograd refinery, and facilities in Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, and elsewhere. On the defensive side, I assess Russia’s 108-drone attack on Ukraine, F-16 cannon intercepts, and Ukraine’s efforts to scale interceptor drones. Finally, I look at September’s battlefield figures: Russia reportedly seized 175 square kilometers but lost 256, while suffering 46,230 reported casualties.

Today, there are interesting updates from the Liman direction.  

Here, Russian reinforcements attempting to stabilize the collapsing situation east of the Zherebets River are increasingly being destroyed before they can even reach the frontline. Ukraine’s Muramasa drone unit, operating as part of the Third Army Corps, has released footage showing strikes against Russian columns moving through the Kreminna area, demonstrating how Ukrainian forces are extending their campaign deeper into the Russian rear.

The targets are not limited to large convoys, as Ukrainian operators are systematically hunting individual vehicles, groups of soldiers, firing positions, and logistical assets moving toward Russian defensive positions. This creates a serious problem because Ukraine is simultaneously applying pressure toward and across the Zherebets. 

As a result, every reinforcement vehicle destroyed around Kreminna represents troops or equipment that cannot replace losses farther west, with entire columns wiped out while still moving through the Russian rear, long before they can reach the positions they were dispatched to reinforce. Instead of fresh troops arriving to stabilize the frontline, Ukrainian drones are turning the roads leading toward it into a continuous attrition zone where Russian columns can be detected, tracked, and destroyed while still in transit.

However, according to the Third Army Corps commander Andriy Biletsky, this is only the beginning. During a meeting with captured Russian soldiers, Biletsky told them they were fortunate to have surrendered now rather than later. He explained that Ukrainian forces would continue fighting until Russian troops had been driven from Ukrainian territory, before adding an ominous warning that his troops have a surprise prepared for the Russians over the coming two months.

Some indications of what is happening are already emerging, as Ukrainian troops are capturing not merely ordinary infantrymen, but increasingly valuable military specialists like mortar crew members, drone operators, electronic-warfare personnel, and other soldiers responsible for maintaining the support network behind Russian assault formations. Losing these personnel is considerably more damaging than simply losing another infantryman, which Russia usually sends forward in one-way suicide attacks.

Despite Russia replacing ordinary assault infantry at enormous human cost, replacing experienced and technically trained soldiers is much harder, as such specialists require training, experience, and integration into functioning battlefield networks.

Every captured drone operator means fewer Russian drones are searching for Ukrainian assault groups, while every missing mortar specialist removes another source of immediate fire support. Every lost electronic-warfare operator potentially creates another opening through which Ukrainian drones can penetrate Russian positions and logistics, as confirmed by the footage from the Muramasa unit around Kreminna.

As a result, even now Ukrainian drones are operating deep enough behind Russian lines to find and destroy moving reinforcement vehicles. If Russian electronic-warfare coverage, reconnaissance, and command structures continue to deteriorate, these rear areas will become progressively less protected, allowing Ukrainian operators to extend their kill zone farther east.

Crucially, it remains unclear where all these Russian specialists are being captured, as some could have been trapped during the destruction of Russian positions west of the Zherebets, while others may have been captured during Ukrainian raids farther east. That uncertainty itself is significant because the Third Army Corps has again imposed extensive operational silence over its continuing actions. 

Captured Russians reinforce the picture of increasing organizational breakdown, as they describe being abandoned by their commanders, receiving few or no reinforcements, and frequently operating with inadequate supplies, as the problem extends beyond battlefield casualties into command, logistics and unit cohesion.

Overall, the situation east of the Zherebets would become even more dangerous for Russia, as reinforcement columns are already being destroyed around Kreminna while specialists disappear from frontline formations and Ukrainian raids continue under operational silence. If General Biletsky’s promised surprise represents the next stage of Operation Vivaldi, Russia may discover that the collapse west of the river was not the end of Ukraine’s offensive operation, but merely the preparation for something considerably larger and more painful.

Chaos continues across the Russian front

Our fall campaign is going strong! Check it out at the link here to learn more: https://car4ukraine.com/campai....gns/preston-stewart-

Phase three of Operation Vivaldi is complete as Ukraine continues to advance during their counteroffensive in the east. The Third Army Corps has released footage saying they captured 250 Russian soldiers, the largest number in a single operation since the Kursk incursion two years ago.

Meanwhile, Russian sources are getting fed up with the false reports on their side and the problems that’s causing at the front. With some complaining that “there's no communication, no logistics, no drones to deliver even basic supplies like food and water to the positions.”

I examine the reports of a possible pneumonic plague incident linked to a BSL-3 laboratory in Russia’s Irkutsk region, where a laboratory worker reportedly died and nearly 200 people were said to be under observation. Local restrictions, including hospital limits and a mask mandate at the Irkutsk aluminum plant, contrast with official claims that the epidemiological situation is stable. I separate those reported facts from what remains unverified—and explain why Russia’s record of contradictory messaging makes careful sourcing essential.

I also assess Dmitry Medvedev’s threat involving Russia’s Rassvet satellites and Starlink, Ukraine’s race to counter faster jet-powered Shahed-type drones, and the ChaharNik system designed to cut the fiber-optic control cables of FPV drones. Finally, I cover Zelensky’s stated plan to intensify strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, damage in Kyiv, humanitarian concerns in occupied Oleshky, and Germany’s announced military and energy-repair support.

The FREYJA project could combine Ukrainian combat experience with European radars, interceptors, industrial capacity, and missile production—while Kyiv prepares for another difficult winter.

در این ویدیو به مهم‌ترین اخبار فوری ایران و جهان در ساعات اخیر می‌پردازیم؛ از ثبت درخواست استیضاح عباس عراقچی، وزیر امور خارجه ایران در مجلس گرفته تا ادامه اعتراضات گسترده در فرانسه و پاریس و واکنش جنجالی دونالد ترامپ به تحولات فرانسه.

در بخش دیگری از این ویدیو، آخرین تحولات دریای سیاه و گزارش‌های مربوط به حملات پهپادی و هدف قرار گرفتن کشتی‌ها در این منطقه را بررسی می‌کنیم؛ منطقه‌ای که همچنان یکی از نقاط حساس در جنگ روسیه و اوکراین محسوب می‌شود.

«به نامِ کُدامین خدا؟»

اگر مولانا، خیام و سعدی امروز در میان ما بودند و جهانی را می‌دیدند که هنوز در آن انسان‌ها به نام دین، خدا، مرز و عقیده جان یکدیگر را می‌گیرند، چه می‌گفتند؟

این ترانه پاسخی از زبان آن بزرگان نیست؛ بلکه اثری الهام‌گرفته از اندیشه‌هایی‌ست که قرن‌ها درباره عشق، انسانیت، خرد، مرگ و معنای ایمان با ما سخن گفته‌اند.

این ترانه علیه دین نیست.
علیه خدا نیست.
پرسشی‌ست از انسان:

اگر خدا رحمت است،
این همه خشم چرا؟

اگر عبادت عشق است،
این همه زخم چرا؟

و اگر بهشت خانه‌ی عشق است،
این دوزخ را چه کسی روی زمین ساخته است؟

«به نامِ کُدامین خدا؟» سفری‌ست میان سه نگاه:
عشق و عرفانِ مولانا،
پرسشگری و تردیدِ خیام،
و انسان‌دوستیِ سعدی.

اما در پایان، هر سه صدا به یک پرسش می‌رسند:

آیا ممکن است راهِ خدا،
پیش از هر مسجد، کلیسا، کنیسه یا آتشگاه،
از دلِ انسان بگذرد؟

جانِ آدمی
از هر نام،
از هر پرچم،
و از هر وعده‌ای
مقدس‌تر است.

و شاید اگر روزی از ما بپرسند
از این دنیا چه با خود آوردیم،
بهترین پاسخ نه نام دینمان باشد،
نه تعداد عبادت‌هایمان،
بلکه این باشد:

دستی گرفتم،
اشکی پاک کردم،
جانی نجات دادم...

و انسان ماندم.

🎵 «به نامِ کُدامین خدا؟»
اثری از «بهترین یاد | BehTarinYad»

این اثر با بهره‌گیری از ابزارهای هوش مصنوعی و با هدایت خلاقانه، نگارش و بازنویسی انسانی ساخته شده است.

اگر این ترانه شما را به فکر فرو برد، دیدگاهتان را در کامنت‌ها بنویسید:
«از نگاه شما، ایمان واقعی چه معنایی دارد؟»
