Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape · 15h US is preparing for major escalation, engaging US troops directly with ships with Iran’s oil for the first time. We are at a fork in the road, either US backs down and Iran emerges as the 4th center of world power in the near term — or, escalation to prevent that from happening. Trump is heading to escalation https://wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-military-prepares-to-board-iran-linked-ships-in-coming-days-officials-say-4dc0a718?st=spsWzi via @WSJ
A fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran holds – but the information war intensifies. At the centre: the Strait of Hormuz, where competing US and Iranian narratives have collided.
During any truce, even when the bombs stop falling, the information war goes on. Moments like this test journalism. Because the job is not just to report on the messaging coming from all sides – but to decode and debunk it if necessary.
