You will note that CENTCOM's map of Iran's borders does not label the countries on those borders.
Iran has about 3,600 miles of land border and 1,500 miles of sea border. 1,100 miles of the sea border is along the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman. Around 400 is on the Caspian Sea.
Of the 3,600 miles of land border, around 1,000 is shared with Iraq, another 500-600 is shared with Afghanistan, 500-600 is shared with Pakistan, 700 is shared with Turkmenistan.
Turkmenistan is notoriously neutral and will certainly not assist the United States. The Taliban runs Afghanistan so good luck with that. The Iraqi government may help us, but the pro-Iranian presence in Iraq will all but guarantee little is done and the Kurds aren't going to be in a hurry to support the US again. Pakistan will not be in a hurry to help us either because whenever the US tires of this conflict, Pakistan has to live next to Iran.
Task Force Iron Gate is worthless. Like everything this administration has done to date, it is intended to sound like something is being accomplished without actually doing anything. It is a waste of time, a waste of resources, and a waste of any good will this nation has built up in the region over the last 25 years (not that much remained to begin with).

Days after losing both chambers, Trump just ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats for threatening to hold his regime accountable.
Oversight isn’t extortion. It’s the Constitution.
Siccing federal prosecutors on Congress to stop it? Add it to the list of impeachable offenses.

Jones: In my home state of Georgia, there have been 83 governors since its creation back in the 1700s. All 83 were white men until Tuesday.
Prior to this Tuesday, there had only been three elected Black governors in American history in over 200 years. And in one night, five were elected.

Triggered?
.@AGToddBlanche: You have @RepRobertGarcia — minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to be the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States — telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well, I tell you what, Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me and the entire Department of Justice.
If an adversary hacked the CENTCOM account and started making posts it wouldn’t be as damaging or embarrassing as what CENTCOM has been doing
Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.

Ben Meiselas mocks Republicans for pushing Jim Jordan as their answer to the midterm wipeout:
“We need the heads to roll. Sir, who are you gonna bring in, sir?”
“Let's bring in the gym coach who covered up the pedos at the college."
“Let's bring the guy who is not a lawyer.”
“We're going to have a constitutional scholar right now who's actually going to be leading the Judiciary Committee in Jamie Raskin.”
“Someone who's actually qualified and competent and is a lawyer and a top lawyer and who knows what he's doing.”

Ben Meiselas on MAGA's attacks against transgender Americans:
“What was the thing they kept on saying in this race? They're going to transgender your kids. What does that even mean?”
“Don't bully a marginalized community.”
“We as leaders need to stand with marginalized communities and never abandon marginalized communities, never allow it to be used as a wedge issue.”
“It's not a culture war issue. It's not culture. These are people.”
“We treat people with dignity and respect.”

Ben Meiselas: We need to remember that we all fought with each other, that we were in the trenches with each other, not before an election, but during life.
Because life is not just an election. Life is every fucking day that we have to deal with on this earth.
It's taking our kids to school. It's going to the hospital. It's running errands. It's giving back. It's trying to find a doctor. It is struggling. It is trying to live and support ourselves and our family and better our community.
That's life. It's every day. Yes, elections happen every two years, or there could be special elections. But life happens every damn day, and we fight for life.
We fight for each other because we fight for what's right. That's what this is about.
And then the elections will fall into place. Because when you have the values and principles on your side that you fight for in life, then the decisions in the election become easy.

Ben Meiselas has a new plan for MAGA activist Scott Presler and his Turning Point associates after the New Hampshire election results:
Here's what I advocate for. Send this crew around, like, a 50-state tour. Let's fund it.
Let's fund these guys to go to every state, every city.
I would fund these three and I would say, all right, 50-state tour, hit every community and tell people to vote for Republicans.
Just go for it, and we'll help. We should help fund them. Maybe they start a GoFundMe.

Ben Meiselas absolutely ERUPTS after Pete Hegseth releases a video attacking efforts to impeach him:
Shut the fuck up, traitor. War criminal. That's what the American—you know, I don't like to curse, but I'm fired up on this episode.
You are a war criminal. That's what you are. You have destroyed our military.
And don't you dare cloak yourself in our troops, who you've abandoned, quite literally abandoned them in the Middle East.
You've destroyed our military leadership. You have pushed out or fired our top four-star, three-star, two-star, one-star generals.
You've stopped promoting people because they're Black, Latino or women
You have literally gutted our military. You've made us weaker than ever before.
You couldn't run a veterans nonprofit. You were pushed out of that because you were so corrupt for a small veterans nonprofit group.
And then you've also attacked our veterans community as well.
You want to build a gigantic arch to cover up the view of the Arlington Cemetery.
And when our courageous veterans sued to block it, the argument from the Trump regime is, what standing do veterans have with respect to the Arlington Cemetery?
So spare me that Donald Trump has endured. You know, you use your hand gestures that he's endured more for this country.
No. He was called to serve during the Vietnam War, and he did not serve.

Ben.. I’m watching you live with Brett right now. What you guys are doing is so important. I’ve been with you for many years and you still manage to impress me every day. Love you guys. @BMeiselas is also so brilliant. Keep it up, guys.

Who fucking asked for this?
Theres a war going on and these people are making content.
CENTCOM is now focused on producing an official podcast. Here's an exchange from the debut episode:
FLEET MASTER CHIEF COMPTON: You are the original fry guy. You like French fries. Most people don't know this, but I did notice when we stationed together years ago, my lunch would come and I always had French fries... You at least take one or two... I don't think you ever knew that I knew you took my French fries. So is that your favorite food? French fries?
ADMIRAL COOPER: We should let the world know. For years, I've been eating your French fries. The secret is now out. But yeah, I never met a French fry I didn't like.
