From ‘No Kings’ to Global Pressure: When Protests Start Shaping Power What began on American streets is now echoing across Europe — and quietly reshaping the geopolitical balance behind an active war.

Idaho marched yesterday.
So did Rome. Amsterdam. Toronto.
This stopped being an American story very quickly.
What it means for the next 8 days 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

A US official said it simply —
"It's beyond weird."
"We don't think they chose a dead man as leader —
but we have no proof he's actually in charge."
A war is being fought.
Missiles are being fired.
And nobody knows who gave the order.
Day 28.
#Iran #Khamenei #IranWar #Geopolitics

His father was killed on Day 1.
Mojtaba took over on Day 9.
Hegseth said — "wounded and likely disfigured."
Iran said — "excellent health, in full control."
Trump said — "I'm hearing he's not even alive."
Three governments.
Three different versions of who's running Iran.

Iran has a new Supreme Leader.
Nobody has seen him.
Not once. Not on video. Not in person.
Every statement — read by a news anchor.
Every photo — unverified.
The CIA is trying to figure out if they're even recent.

Inside the G7 Meeting That Revealed a Fractured Alliance In a quiet French abbey, Europe told Washington what it didn’t want to hear — this wasn’t their war.

A quiet meeting in France just exposed how divided the West really is over this war. open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

Day 28. Ball is in Washington's court.
Iran responded through intermediaries.
US hasn't replied yet.
Israel wasn't consulted on either plan.
Three parties. Two plans.
Zero direct talks.
And a 10-day deadline nobody agreed to.

Iran's official statement —
"The war will end when Iran decides.
Not when Trump envisions it."
Iran's military spokesman said it on state television —
"Don't dress up your defeat as an agreement."
Trump said — "They want a deal so badly."
Iran said — "We are winning."

US sent Iran a 15-point plan.
Iran sent back 5 conditions.
Just to sit down.
US wants: nuclear disarmament, Hormuz open, proxies disbanded.
Iran wants: full war reparations, US out of Gulf, Hormuz sovereignty. Forever.
These aren't negotiations.
These are two different endings to the same war.

130 ships per day through Hormuz — before.
6 ships per day — now.
Oil at $112.
April 6 is 10 days away.
A deadline. For a deal.
That neither side has confirmed.
Day 28.
#IranWar #Trump #Hormuz #Geopolitics

Day 1 — "Unconditional surrender."
Day 15 — "They want a deal."
Day 27 — "I don't know if we're willing."
Day 28 — "Talks going very well."
The goalposts didn't move.
They disappeared.

Trump paused strikes — "because Iran requested it."
Iran said — we requested nothing.
April 6 is the new deadline.
Strikes are still happening.
A pause. That isn't a pause.
Extended by a request. That wasn't made.

Israel is bombing faster — before any deal locks them out.
Markets dropped $6 per barrel on peace hopes.
One war.
Three different endings.
Nobody agrees on which one.
#IranWar #Trump #Leavitt #Geopolitics

Iran asked the US to leave the Middle East.
These aren't negotiations.
These are two sides talking past each other.
Day 27.
US says — "accept defeat."
Iran says — "we decide when this ends."

Iran's response — 5 conditions.
Just to sit down.
Full war reparations.
Sovereignty over Hormuz.
Complete halt to all strikes.
US bases out of the Gulf.
US asked Iran to give up everything.

Trump sent Iran a 15-point peace plan.
Iran called it "maximalist and unreasonable."
Then Leavitt stepped to the podium:
"Trump will ensure they are hit harder than ever before."
A peace plan. With a threat attached.

The WFP warned —
45 million more people into acute food insecurity.
A Cornell economist said —
"It will start hitting US grocery stores soon."
Hormuz closed the oil tap.
Nobody noticed it also closed the food tap.
Day 27.
#Hormuz #IranWar #Food #Fertilizer #Geopolitics

Urea prices — up 75% since the war started.
Brazil imports nearly half its fertilizer through Hormuz.
India. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Somalia.
No strategic fertilizer reserves exist.
Unlike oil — there is no emergency stockpile.

Nobody is talking about this.
30% of the world's fertilizer ships through Hormuz.
It's been closed for 27 days.
Planting season starts now.
You can skip oil for a week.
You cannot skip fertilizer season.

The people funding this war — with their taxes.
Don't want it.
The people fighting it — 290 wounded, 13 dead.
Didn't vote on it.
The people deciding it — 53 senators.
Didn't stop it.
Day 27.
A democracy at war with itself.
#IranWar #Trump #Poll #Geopolitics

Same poll.
45% of Americans are worried about affording gas.
Up from 30% before the war.
Trump campaigned on lower prices.
Day 27 — gas is at its highest since 2022.

59% of Americans say this war has gone too far.
Only 13% want more.
Trump's own voters — divided.
The Senate still voted to keep going.
47 to 53.

The US started this war without telling France.
France responded by deploying its own carrier.
Not in support.
In preparation.
NATO was built on collective defense.
Day 26 — every country is defending itself.
#France #CharlesDeGaulle #NATO #IranWar #Geopolitics

France isn't joining the war.
It's protecting its own interests.
30,000 French citizens live in the Middle East.
Energy contracts worth billions.
Naval routes through Hormuz.
When America acts alone —
Europe is forced to act alone too.

France wasn't informed about this war.
But it still sent its most powerful warship.
The Charles de Gaulle.
Nuclear-powered. Aircraft carrier.
Now sailing toward the Mediterranean.

These are NATO allies.
Bound by the same treaty.
Supposed to defend each other.
Yet one started a war —
and didn't tell the others.
The alliance isn't broken.
But the trust is.
Day 26.
#France #NATO #IranWar #Geopolitics

This isn't the first time.
Afghanistan — France sent troops at America's request.
US withdrew. Didn't tell France first.
Now Iran — same story.
No call. No briefing. No warning.
France found out when the bombs dropped.
Just like the rest of us.

France's Army Chief said it out loud.
At a public defense forum. In Paris.
"We were surprised by an American ally —
who doesn't even bother to inform us
when it decides to launch military operations."

A Ceasefire Plan, a Military Buildup — and a War That Isn’t Ready to End Washington is sending peace proposals through backchannels while preparing for escalation — and neither side looks ready to back down.

The Iran war is getting more complicated —
ceasefire talks, troop buildup, and no clear direction.
open.substack.com/pub/mohitnew...

A ceasefire plan nobody agreed to.
Delivered by a country nobody asked.
While the bombs keep falling.
