Sohrab Ahmari

Ahmari considers a return to full-scale war unlikely and expects the U.S. to pressure Iran through a blockade instead.

“I don't think we'll ever return to a big escalatory war ever again”

Ahmari argues the reported Iran deal concedes much merely to restore the pre-war status quo.

“a lot of this seems to be giving up a lot of points to Iran in order to just restore a status quo ante”

Ahmari warns that ground operations at Kharg Island or special-forces raids for enriched uranium would be disastrous, and that fully defeating Iran would require at least 500,000 troops.

“the only way to do the really big thing of, quote unquote, defeating Iran is to do an invasion that takes 500,000 troops at a minimum”

Ahmari argues that allegations capable of ruining a life should meet a high evidentiary standard.

“when you're talking about an allegation that can not only derail someone's campaign, but essentially ruin their life, I think the evidentiary standard has to be high”

Ahmari says the accumulation of red flags makes Graham Platner's candidacy unsustainable.

Ahmari argues the right should focus on the profile of trans-involved, drug-using radicals rather than conspiracy theories.

Ahmari argues the Times would have published stronger allegations against Platner had it been able to corroborate them.

Ahmari argues Trump's leaked comments on daycare and Medicaid reverse his 2016–2024 pledge not to touch entitlements.

“that is a big departure from the Trump of 2016, from the Trump of 2020 and the Trump of 2024. The whole thing with Trump was he repeatedly said, I am not going to touch your entitlements”

Ahmari argues Bondi was executing Trump's own preference for partial Epstein disclosure, so blame lies with Trump.

“the fact is that I think Pam Bondi is basically executing what the president wanted to do. Some disclosure, but not the full”
