    As Iran dominates the headlines again, remember who rooted for Tehran when it clashed with America. MEF’s @emahyar reports on how Western Islamists and far-right voices like Nick Fuentes exposed an anti-American alignment inside the West. @IslamistWatch @FWIslamism Full report

    A U.S. lawsuit alleges Iranian intelligence officers tracked, threatened, assaulted, and tried to assassinate an American-Iranian activist inside Turkey. @abdbozkurt reports.
    The civil complaint, filed on July 2 in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks damages from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the National Iranian Oil Company and the National Iranian Tanker Company under the terrorism exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

    Algeria celebrated its removal from the FATF gray list. But the IMF’s warning exposed a deeper problem: deficits, oil dependence, and weak economic management. @amineayoubx explains.
    The Algerian regime’s governance model consistently prioritizes tight political control over genuine economic reform. Public sector dominance, opaque decision-making, and selective anti-corruption campaigns, which often target political rivals rather than root causes, systematically undermine foreign and domestic investor confidence.

    Egypt’s new Octagon command center is not just military modernization. MEF’s Jose Lev Alvarez warns it comes as Cairo edges closer to Erdoğan’s neo-Ottoman project.
    Cairo is edging toward Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Pan-Sunni, Neo-Ottoman project — the same effort that has Ankara throwing its weight around in Libya and the Levant. Image: New Administrative Capital, Feb. 14, 2024.

    Turkey’s Libya campaign shows what Ankara does with advanced weapons: project power, arm proxies, and convert technology into leverage. @amineayoubx explains why Israel is worried.
    Jerusalem’s task now is convincing Washington that the F-35 question and the Libya question are, in substance, the same question, asked in two different theaters. Image: a U.S. Air Force F-35B Lightning II.

    .@TheEconomist turned to MEF’s @samwestrop for perspective on Texas’s debate over “Islamification” — and the deeper question of how officials should confront Islamist networks without getting lost in online noise.

    An Israeli report corroborates longstanding warnings about Muslim Brotherhood affiliates in Italy, including the country’s top Islamic body. @DrJulesGomes reports.
    Lawmakers in the Italian Senate located in the Palazzo Madama in Rome (above) have raised the issue of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence in Italy more than 180 times in Senate interventions, with dozens specifically addressing the Union of Islamic Communities and Organisations in Italy (UCOII), the MB’s flagship umbrella group in the country. An Israeli investigative report has corroborated these long-standing...

    MEF Chief Strategist @JimHansonDC tells @FoxNews Tehran may be badly misreading President Trump. Iran’s regime thought it could survive, sell oil, and regroup. Hanson says Trump’s “get this done” message puts something bigger back on the table: regime change.

    Foreign journalists in Iran often report the images Tehran gives them. @potkazar warns that surface-level coverage can turn reporters into regime amplifiers.

    President Trump says he's done with Iran “I’m not sure I want to make a deal. Let’s just finish the job.” I told Liz McDonald "...probably some strikes on regime leaders. If I was them I wouldn't be sleeping above ground"

    Turkey still has strategic value. That does not make it strategically reliable. @nicolekouroushi argues Washington should stop treating Ankara as the central pillar of regional policy.
