Trump’s “obliterated” claim is looking more like wishful thinking now that the IAEA says Iran’s nukes could be spinning again by fall, journalists are bracing for subpoenas over leaks that told the truth, and Thailand’s military is inching toward the driver’s seat after a phone scandal lit the match on mass protests—2025 is shaping up to be a year where narratives die hard and power grabs come easy.
