“Trump Is Literally Cooking the Islamic Regime from the Inside”.

Does President Trump want a deal with the radical, murderous Islamic regime terrorizing Iran?

Trump is literally cooking the Islamic regime from the inside, and today we witnessed yet another public crack in the system.

Most people are completely fixated on this MoU, treating it as the main story. In reality, it is largely just a pretext, a tool being used to advance much deeper games. The real game playing out is something else entirely, and people should be looking elsewhere to understand what’s truly happening.

Few days ago, one faction of the regime’s gangsters has been faking letters supposedly from Mojtaba Khamenei to claim that negotiations with the US were personally approved by him. Others quickly learned the trick and started playing the same game.

Today, one of the rivals claimed they have access to Mojtaba’s confidential letters with the current negotiating team. It turned into a full-blown public shitshow. Honestly, it was both ridiculous and entertaining. The pigs are turning on each other.

Let me lay out the full picture for you.
Khamenei, to coup-proof his rule, massively empowered the IRGC and turned it into a powerful state-within-a-state. But then he became afraid of his own creation, so he deliberately prevented power from concentrating in any single hand and allowed different competing cartels to form inside the IRGC.

Most of the top figures in these cartels are deeply corrupt, ideology is just a facade for them.

At the same time, he personally cultivated a loyal base from the poorest and most broken layers of society: fanatical, powerless people who were extremely loyal to him personally and would attack anyone on his command like rabid dogs.

After his death, the IRGC clearly took full control of the country, but they are far from united. They’re now openly fighting each other for the real seat of power.

Trump, with his deal-making style and the huge carrot of money, especially after the naval blockade pushed them into real poverty and begging, has brilliantly pushed these corrupt elements forward.

This has created open clashes with the more ideological factions. One of these hardliner cartels belongs to Saeed Jalili and includes figures like the cleric Mahmoud Nabavian, a sitting MP.

Today, Nabavian went on state TV and announced he wanted to reveal Mojtaba Khamenei’s confidential letters criticizing the negotiating team and the current deal. He started reading them live, but they cut him off mid-sentence. The network later called it a serious violation, announced legal action, and even one of the directors resigned and was rebuked.

This was their last desperate attempt to stop the negotiating team from reaching Geneva. But it failed. Just hours later, the other side, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and his crew, still made it to Geneva.

A few days ago, they even put the approval of this Memorandum of Understanding to a vote in the Supreme National Security Council. Everyone approved it except one person, and many believe that lone dissenter was Saeed Jalili, from the same cartel as Nabavian.

Meanwhile, another IRGC cartel, Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, tried to sabotage the surrenderist negotiators’ trip to Geneva by claiming they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM immediately clapped back and said the Strait is wide open (and ships are moving freely). Perfect own-goal.

Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He understands these animals better than anyone. He’s weakening the regime from within, without firing a single shot. Just as he predicted, as soon as the corrupt ones smelled real money, they sold out the entire regime and its ideology without hesitation.

Let the man cook, trust the process.

Let President Trump cook.

  1. "Trust the plan"…where have we heard that before?
    Joe…this entire article is male, bovine, excrement…

    • Don’t know about truth but reads logical. Unfortunately we are so far removed but we have to trust President Trump as he has ALL the info.

  5. Islam is a scourge on humanity and always has been! And don’t forget Mohamed was a pedophile !

    • It’s a mental disorder. Ban all Muslim immigration and repatriate all Muslim brought into the Country under Obama and Biden. Why are we paying for the destruction of our Nation. Shipping in Muslims who hate America.

      • Commie Dems are copying EU. After 1400 years fighting, Islam has finally taken over Europe. Europe is done… finished, and now part of the Middle East where men date girls at age six and marry girls at age nine.

          If that's true, if there's already a secret scheme afoot to topple Iran, that doesn't even involve the Europeans…
          then why did Trump have to start a feud with Geogia Meloni??
          Why did he have to say she was "begging" for a photo??

          Sometimes Trump is super clever?
          But sometimes he's a super jerk?
          Sorry, Mr. HOFT, this just doesn't add up.
          .

        • The Caribbean types from Haiti and Jamaica that Biden invited it by the thousands are reproducing like rabbits, all voting democrat and already half of Ft Lauderdale is a hood. We're worried more about them than the muslims.

          • Make sure the laws on voting are enforced, and in Florida that should be possible. If that is done, I think your part of the job will be successful.

          • I feel your pain. Phoenix is now like Ciudad Juarez. Unlicensed Spanish-speaking vendors on every major street corner. No police patrols, No hablo inglés.

            I left that chit-hole 27 years ago after policing it for almost 3 decades, never to return, so I know what I’m talking about.

          • I remember Ft Bliss in '74 – Jaurez was a playground for young and ignorant soldiers and a visit there sometimes resulted in unintended consequences…
            Now I understand troops are not allowed to cross the border.

          • The 1st armored div is now patrolling the Southern Border.

            1st Armored Division assumed command of the Joint Task Force–Southern Border (JTF-SB) in May 2026, taking over from the 101st Airborne Division.
            HQ @ Fort Huachuca, Arizona, the division leads approximately 8,700 troops in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
            1st Armored Division still based out of Fort Bliss, TX

            Mission Scope: The task force conducts detection and monitoring across the 1,954-mile southern border using mobile ground-based surveillance, tactical vehicles, and foot patrols.
            Limitations: Military personnel do not conduct law enforcement or deportation operations; their role is strictly to detect, track, and observe suspected illegal activity.

          • Thanks for the update – I was in Ft Bliss for AIT in ’74 – our barracks was co-ed with wacs on the top floor with a CQ in the stairwell to monitor access to the floor… men were on the bottom 2 floors. Apparently this was an early experiment in DEI at the time, but with a building full of young boys and girls, the outcome was as you might expect…

          • They're all over the place now! So sick of the pphhuucckkss riding their golf carts with the rainbow umbrella riding on the streets and sidewalks selling their food crap more than likely with no insurance, business license, or legal status and the cops do nothing about it!

          • Meloni got what was coming to her after denying the US use of their own airfields in Italy.

          • It takes two to tango.
            Maybe Trump screwed up the pre-war planning.
            Have you ever considered that?
            .

          • Yes. Although we have to remember that may not be what really happened. Remember that Romania stepped in and invited us to use their bases, which are in a better position than the Italian ones. I remember during the cleanup after the Achilles Lauro Terrorist incident in which Leon Klinghofer was murdered. US aircraft were showing up suddenly in places they couldn't reach from any of the bases that anybody knew we had. The head of the special operations command after he retired wrote a book and didn't reveal where but said they were bases we weren't supposed to have access to in countries that kind of pretended they didn't like us.

          • The Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base, located near Constanța, Romania, serves as a primary hub for U.S. Army forces under the U.S. Army Garrison Black Sea. This installation hosts approximately 700 U.S. troops on a permanent rotational basis, including units such as the 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, which recently assumed a deterrence mission along NATO’s eastern flank.

          • thank you. People who supply relevant details when we see stories like this are very helpful.

          • Meloni got what was coming to her after denying the US use of their own airfields in Italy.

          • How do you start a feud with those that are not your real friends and allies and that do not support you?

            You know Italy was one of the prime EU states along with UK, Germany, France and Spain that meddled in our 2020 Election to keep Trump out. You know this? Right?

            You know that the 'conservatives' in UK, Spain, France, Italy, etc. are not actual Conservatives. Conservative Socialists sure. But not conservatives. Right?

            They all came from Peasants and never tasted actual freedom. They have Parliamentary systems where they dont get to vote for their leaders.

          • Being a bull in a china shop isn't always the best tactic.

            It breaks a lot of china, but it doesn't mend, build, or create anything.
            .

          • What a silly useless reply.
            you didn't have anything of value to respond with? Just maybe if statement.

            you don't even say that Trump is a bull in a China shop. You just allude to it being a possibility. Or that others could be.

          • My reply responds precisely to your statement…
            … "How do you start a feud with those that are not your real friends and allies and that do not support you?"

            I'm sorry you can't keep up.
            .

          • Like I said. It was a statement.

            Sophistry.

            Derived from the Ancient Greek word sophistḗs (meaning "wise man" or "sophist"), the term historically relates to the teachings of the Sophists, a group of fifth-century B.C.E. Greek teachers skilled in rhetoric. While originally denoting scholarly wisdom, the word evolved to describe specious reasoning or subtle but unsound logic used to trick listeners.

          • So right..Our "votes" were ILLEGALLY sent electronically to Spain and Italy to be counted!! Which of course was denied but proven by the Rembrandt of voting machines along with the codes of how they did it!! We couldn't believe LEFTIST EU countries were in charge of counting OUR votes to such an important AMERICAN election!

          • stop paying attention to the Hollywood stuff. Maloney as a celebrity is not important. Do you know that one of the things people do in Hollywood and in radio, is pretend to have a feud with someone so that people pay attention to both of them and presume they are enemies. The lady who is now head of Venezuela, at least for now, was also talking about how she would fight for Maduro to the death, and then one day later was cooperating 100% with Trump. Did you fall for that one too?

          • … "Did you fall for that one too?" .. realGMBurns

            I'm sorry I took your other reply seriously.
            I didn't realize you were that petty.
            Now I know.
            .

          • Thank you.

            If only Pres. Trump were as suave as Cary Grant, but with the political instincts of Lee Atwater and Pat Buchanan.

          • Trump is not really fighting Iran, he is fighting the British-based globalists who control the Middle East. They've been building an empire of lies, using the US as their muscle, for 150 years. So Trump may not be polite or know what he is doing, but by speaking common-sense truth, he is single handedly collapsing the globalist rules-based-order which keeps the elite financial empire of enslavement intact. Watch Promethean Action channel on YouTube to understand the bigger picture.

          • … "to understand the bigger picture" .. Ulysses S. Vance

            You just couldn't leave without a bit of condescension?

      • Classifying a global religion as a mental disorder is medically invalid, and policies that advocate for the exclusion or forced removal of people based on their faith violate the core legal and human rights principles of democratic societies and international law.

        • Islam is not a religion. It's an evil, vile cult of death, hatred and intolerance. The vast majority of Muzzslimes are stone-age barbarians with an IQ of 60-70. When The Christ returns in glory He will remove that stain from His Earth.

          • In academia and global governance, Islam is definitively classified as one of the world’s major Abrahamic religions, alongside Christianity and Judaism. Like other religions, it has a central text (the Quran), core articles of faith, and acts of worship.

          • I’m educated enough to know the death and destruction those barbarians have done throughout the centuries, fool.

          • Israel has the right to defend itself from savage barbarians who have been trying to kill all the Jews for a long time.

          • BS they are killing people for their land. No more damn lies about the aggressor looking for sympathy.

          • Well then you will never reverse your lonely ideas. Did you even know that most of THOSE ISRAELITES LIVING THERE ACTUALLY BOUGHT WITH MONEY PIECES OF PROPERTY IN ISRAEL DECADES AGO..SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS HAVEN'T BOUGHT A SINGLE LOT THERE..THEY just kill for what they want!

          • You need to READ the Koran and, like I said before, listen to The Mufti "preach" his poison to INCITE and enrage the literally dumb sheep who have ALWAYS BEEN raised with a gun in their hands from the time they could walk..TRUTH! Their existance (and Koran' DEMAND) is to KILL the Infidels..anyone who doesn't follow Muhammad!

        • Muslims cannot Swear allegiance only to the Koran. Let’s start by shipping the inverted 300,000 Somalias repatriated to Somali. It’s a start.

        • Theirs is not a religion just because they "pray" 5 times a day! That is just to rally them and build up the rage written in the koran. If you ever heard The Mufti (Husseini) "preach" to them over the radio, every day, you would understand better what they are all about and shun them as the evil that they are!

        • You are too dim to comment here. Try Mother Jones or some other commie rag. We are not a Democracy Fredo. We are a Democratic Republic. Huge difference. It’s why socialism, communism and fascism from the left will fail in America. The New Democratic Progressive Government Union Socialist Communist Fascist Racist Party is a dwindling urine soaked Yellow Tent. It is dead just hasn’t reached its peak brain.

      • Some people believe "Satanic origin" claim and still exists in fringe or highly polemical circles, it is widely rejected by mainstream theologians, interfaith organizations, and academic scholars today.

        • Allah is Satan. I don't care what anyone doing Satan's work has to say about anything. Read the Bible and learn about the Ishmaelites.

          • Which version? I have multiple copies and the KJV omits many books that are present in previous copies of the bible. And none have as many as the Ethiopian copy.

          • I have been meaning to get a hold of the Ethiopian Bible, but Money is tight, and I would want to do the research to make sure I get an authentic version with a good translation. that isn't as easy to arrange as people might think. The Bibles people are talking about in Ethiopia are kept in a single church on top of a pillar of rock, and if you can climb that , the priest there will let you look at the book and read it if you can read that language. But you cannot take it from their hands. I have seen that Bible on film, so it wouldn't be impossible to photograph and try to translate the text, but the number of people who can read that language and speak good English has to be very few. And somebody after money would be tempted to use Google something, and that might actually have demonic interference. Maybe even without the devil being involved, but just because I think if Google cannot really conspire with the devil, they will try to reinvent demonic thinking on their own. I really don't trust those guys.

          • You bring up an absolutely critical point – 'What about the translation?'. Just as the term "natural born citizen" that was used in the US Constitution seems to have lost the understanding/meaning that the founders (and people of that time) knew and understood almost 250 years ago, so can many of the terms and word usages (esp by context) in versions of the bible be significantly changed over time.

          • Yes, although it turns out there was never as much mystery about 'natural born citizen' as some people wanted us to think.
            British courts had created the definition for "natural born subject", especially in "Calvin's case", from the 1600s.

            When I was looking at it, my take was that it would not definitively settle every case of presidential eligibility that might come up, but it was the definition the Framers had learned when they studied law. It is not reasonable that a book by some Swiss guy (Vattel) talking about 'Swiss citizenship' (he talked about British rules in a different paragraph) was going to replace that.
            Black's Law Dictionary: "A natural-born subject or citizen; a denizen by birth; one who owes his domicile or citizenship to the fact of his birth within the country referred to. The term may also include one born abroad, if his parents were then citizens of the country, and not permanently residing in foreign parts."
            Under the Swiss definition of those days (Vattel did not invent it) nobody could EVER become a citizen unless his ancestors were Swiss citizens. In theory, every ancestor since Adam could have been born in Switzerland and lived there every day of their lives, but their descendants would never be Swiss. Logically, if Adam was not Swiss, then there was never a real Swiss citizen in all of history.

          • yes. But just to be clear, black law dictionary wasn’t published until the 1800s. But their definition came out of a court case from the 1600s, so it was already settled and was probably something people in the colonieswho studied law knew about because they were mostly colonists, not English born. What the rule was for being a legitimate British subject affected every one of them

          • Agreed somewhat..but to solve your doubt as to the Bible, go back to the original texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls and it is word for word!

          • Read the original ancient scrolls and its word for word. True, there are many more books that weren't canonized into the final Bible but you can read those for yourself also. The books of Josephus are great as well as the Maccabee records of winning Jerusalem (the Temple Mount) back from the Greeks then losing it again 150 years later to the Roman machine!

        • No serious Christian thinks another religion is equal to Christianity. None of them have the truth and it is the only non-works religion that does has a message of grace.

      • And always remind the Muslims that their Koran is Korrupted!!!

        9 The Chapters on Marriage
        (36)Chapter: Breastfeeding an adult
        It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
        “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed1, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”

        12 The Book of Zakat
        (39)Chapter: If the Son of Adam had two valleys, he would desire a third
        Abu Harb b. Abu al-Aswad reported on the authority of his father that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari sent for the reciters of Basra. They came to him and they were three hundred in number. They recited the Qur'an and he said:

        You are the best among the inhabitants of Basra, for you are the reciters among them. So continue to recite it. (But bear in mind) that your reciting for a long time may not harden your hearts as were hardened the hearts of those before you. We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity to (Surah) Bara'at. I have, however, forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember out of it:" If there were two valleys full of riches, for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust." And we used so recite a surah which resembled one of the surahs of Musabbihat, and I have forgotten it, but remember (this much) out of it:" Oh people who believe, why do you say that which you do not practise" (lxi 2.) and" that is recorded in your necks as a witness (against you) and you would be asked about it on the Day of Resurrection" (xvii. 13).

    • The political, media, and algorithmic structures of the U.S. are heavily conditioned to view Muslims through a lens of security, suspicion, and geopolitical utility. This systemic conditioning creates an environment where Islamophobia can thrive and where anti-Muslim rhetoric is politically viable.
      However, interpersonally, the reality is different. The U.S. is highly diverse, and millions of Americans have Muslim friends, neighbors, and colleagues. The "hate" is often abstract, mediated by screens and politicians, rather than a universal lived reality. Furthermore, as the Muslim American population grows and becomes more integrated into the fabric of U.S. politics, culture, and technology, the pushback against this conditioning is stronger than ever before.

      • We should view them as the filth that they are. Western civilization and those Satan worshippers cannot coexist and they shouldn't be allowed in this country.

        • While a nation has the sovereign right to determine its immigration policies and must rigorously vet individuals for security risks, a blanket ban on Muslims is not considered a "valid" policy under U.S. constitutional law, nor is it supported by empirical evidence or national security experts.
          The premise that Muslims are "Satan worshipers" who cannot coexist with the West is based on theological inaccuracies and ignores the reality of millions of integrated, law-abiding Muslim citizens who actively participate in and contribute to Western civilization.

          • But those aren't the ones who snuck across our border or came by H1B visas etc. Look at any country they reside in..THEY TAKE IT OVER and force their so-called religion on the new country! They take over without firing a shot..they just infiltrate all levels of government and leadership.

          • How many Muslims have snuck across our border or came by H1B visas? According to US Data no record of them sneaking in. There are approximately 2 million residents who are legal. There are 3000 mosques in the US? When was the last time someone knocked on your door and urged you to join their religion?
            There are approximately 3,700 to 4,000 synagogues nationwide. New York has the highest count.
            Let me turn the tables. How many Muslims are in Congress versus Israelis?
            The four Muslim members of Congress. There are 35 Jewish members in the United States Congress, making up nearly 6.5% of all lawmakers.
            Muslims do not have a strong or institutionalized lobby in Congress whereas the Jews have AIPAC and its associated which is the strongest and most influential Lobby in Congress.
            There are approximately 3,700 to 4,000 synagogues nationwide. New York has the highest count.
            The boogeyman under your bed is not Muslin.

        • Living in Muslim countries for an extended period completely changed my view. I started out open-minded, but long-term experience showed me that this ideology simply cannot be trusted. In Western countries, they are masters of disguise in order to achieve the goal of subjugating the world.

      • I don’t have a phobia, I realize what their ultimate goal is and why they’re here. Wake up!

        • Islamophobia is a mental condition that many on this site openly use to justify Israel’s massacres and the bombing of civilians.

      • Not true..WE judge them by their actions..which are not good! I'm sure there are some wonderful people among them, but they still believe and follow the edocts/commands in the Koran to KILL the infidels!

    • That mohamed not only was a pedophile but also a homsexual. If you read history he started as a criminal, gang leader. Raiding neighboring towns.

    • Applying the term "pedophile" to a 7th-century historical figure is widely rejected by secular historians and sociologists as anachronistic—a logical fallacy known as "presentism" (judging historical figures by modern moral and legal standards).

  6. The ideology of Islam is WHOEVER IS THE STRONGEST WARLORD MAKES THE RULES! Trump is currently the strongest warlord. And master chef.

  7. TRUMPS INITIAL JOB WITH THE MEAT TENDERIZERS B1B'S THE B2, THEN THE B52 AFTER AIR SUPERIORITY …

    THE BLOCKADE AND A Sous vide METHOD OF COOKING THE LITTLE SAND FLEAS …

    i don't mind waiting just keep the blockade and let everyone else work on freeing the shipping lanes let the persians cook for a while …

    now that we aren't the "corporation" of the United States any More we are now the United States For America Again, Trump Can Be President for Two More Terms Under the "new Declaration" For The United States for America …

    see how well that all worked out now …

    we have time to wait, starve the persians we have time 8 more years this next election's gonna be sumpthin' … yee ha …

  8. Even with less than this it was obvious, for common sense people, that the regime is sinking, asking for breath, but the media and even some "republicans/conservatives" just went neo-cons.

    Allow Big Daddy play The Art of the Deal. Seat the f….. down, relax and enjoy the ride. We are winning, winning.!!!!

    • There isn't a regime, there are multiple factions fighting each other. President Trump is playing this well.

      • Trump is needlessly dragging this war out with these useless,
        endless negotiations. If Trump had not stopped the war and wasted
        2 months on a cease fire that accomplished absolutely nothing,
        this war would already be over, the U.S. would be headed home,
        the Strait of Hormuz would be open and Israel would be handling
        any necessary mop-up activity with Iran and Hezbollah.

        There is no need for Trump to get cute. Just win. Now. And come
        home.

    • Panicans are addicted to Doom and Gloom. Like a feral dog with a bone, they'll fight tooth and nail to hold on to it.

  9. Uhmm, no.

    Iran is not a nation as we know one. It is run by religious, extremists, who want to rule the world through their political agenda wrapped as a religion. By taking out the head of the State, we have released a flurry of tiny, Tin Pot dictators all struggling for power.

    There is now no one there who is fully in charge. No one whose word holds for all the IRGC war-lords. And the only thing that matters to these fanatics is spreading their power. And they will do that through lies and broken promises, that people stupid enough to believe them accept.

    This enemy understands, forced compliance and death, period.

  11. Agreed … The Art of the Deal on display.

    Trumps problem is time.
    The Marxist Left and their MSM lackeys are doing a superb job of propagandizing the American People in to thinking we are loosing

  13. In my opinion Trumps ultimate goal has always been Regime Change but domestic politics will not allow him to admit it

    • What enemies within? Well, let's see; there's extremest democrats, Liberals, Antifa, BLM, liberal White women/feminists, islamists, Somalis, illegals from various enemy nations, and the Deep State. To name a few.

  15. The biggest obstacle to a peace agreement is both sides claiming to have decimated the other, which causes the other side to counter that they decimated the other, which in turn repeats the cycle. This whole face saving thing is a beach.

    • Its not accurate. It's a It's a fluff piece.

      Anything short of crushing Iran and it's islamic ideology, is merely kicking the can down the road for later administrations to deal with; ie; Carter and Obama.

      • Crushing Iran probably requires American boots on the ground. Are we willing to go that route?

      • Iran was called Persia before it was renamed. Do you know how large Christianity was in Persia? Do you know how large it is now? Do you equate all of the people of Iran – or any other country? How do you think the US looked to the rest of the world under Obama, then under Biden?

  17. Well, we're a bit of a captive audience and have no choice other than to wait & see. My initial reading of this deal is: Iran's terrorism has paid them back, American's are paying for it.

  18. If you make your living writing articles, you should know the difference between literally and figuratively

      • The Hofts have been demanding this war for quite some time. They are most certainly not objective. But for whatever reason, they label Lindsey Graham as a war hawk, in a negative fashion. Go figure.

        • I don't think they exactly desired or asked for this war. I don't think they were very interested in public affairs at all when this war started. they are only in their 60s.

        • TRUMP knows what he is doing.

          The external BS talk is all part of the show.

          He gets his way (including dealing with the mullahs) or the bombs start falling again.

          • Ahh cup half full. I like it. I’m looking forward to 2029/2030 when both the left and the right will get theirs. Gonna be a great show

          • What is significant about 2029/2030? Left & right are relative terms, not unlike Dems and Repubs – designed to sow division George Washington opposed separate parties.

          • Ahh cup half full. I like it. I’m looking forward to 2029/2030 when both the left and the right will get theirs. Gonna be a great show

          • If PDJT can get Iran to 'settle down', and the rest of the middle east settles down, then many Muslims have said they want to "go home". Can you imagine the voluntary mass exodus out of the US?

          • The scuzzy muzzies came from the other side of the planet! It will be harder to convince then to go home than it is to convince all the Hispanics that walked here.

          • Difficult to imagine but love that concept. Wishing PDJT well but its hard to believe a bunch of suicide bombers can suddenly become rational.

    • And some people understand that this was a quote from an author whose English is their second language. How is your Farsi? Should Jim correct a quote? Who is the DA (” “)?

    • And some people understand that this was a quote from an author whose English is their second language. How is your Farsi? Should Joe correct a quote? Who is the DA (” “)?

    • The real evil that planet has ever known is —— Epstein, abortions, and LGBT agenda. That's real evil according to the Bible. Islam does not even come close in comparison.

  25. I begin to feel worry towards this religion when i was a child. They are always agressive towards to other races and i have this feeling deep inside my heart a religion war will definitely broke out in the near future. I only told my closed family about this thoughts.
    40yrs now, it turns out to be so true. And now, i think everybody have enough of their nonsense! The good people are fighting back.

  26. Evil souls in power around the world of all backgrounds use the word God in their "religious" squawking to cause hatred of others who use the same word for the purpose of control. It also causes wars as you'll hear my God is the real God and yours is a fake one. What happens next is conflict and war. It's been this way for a very long time.

  28. Islam is Iran's problem. Islamists hate everybody, including the Hindus, Christians, and especially the Jews. Why? Because Mohammad says so. They kill and maim because of a hateful jackass.

  29. I lived in the Middle East for some 14 years. First as a child as my father was an engineer,then time working for Fluor. I graduated High School in Tehran. It was a beautiful Country with great people in the Cities. . BUT the Iranian masses outside the cities remain ignorant, uneducated and extremely violent. Obama helped fund and arm these crazy Shites.

    I pray for the return of the Prince President Carter refused help the Shah requested and is a significant reason for the violence in the Middle East.

    The biggest mistake by the Shah was sending Ayatollah into exile in France rather hanging him.

  31. The Trumpster know what money does and how to use it. Bessent is an economic genius and Trump has turned him loose against the Iranians. The other Arab nations know they need Trump to do away with the IRGC and bring Iran into the real world. Otherwise, the IRGC will be holding other Arab countries hostage. The surface of the water has big waves but the undercurrent is winning thanks to Trump and his people's strategies and tactics.

    • CCP, taking murduro pressure on Cuba, attacking Iran is a 4 legged stool. Each one relies on the other.

      Then the stool of chaos in America will tip over because they have been fighting us and we have been tolerating them.

    • Exactly!

      Most of Iran also wants to get from under the izdumic thumb and join the modern world.

      • True!! Many readers these days do not remember Iran of the 1970s. It was a western style country where women could dress as they chose and attend college. Back then, Iran and Israel were allied and collaborated on intelligence issues.

        The current conflict is not against the Iranian people but against the crazy bearded guys and the thugs who carry out their orders. I feel for the oppressed Iranian people and believe regime change in Tehran is the only way the yoke can be lifted from their shoulders.

        Hitler too was a maniacal dictator who surrounded himself with thugs and toadies to carry out his evil designs on the world. Hitler warned the world what type of tyrant he would become, but the world didn't believe him. When the crazy bearded guys in Tehran screamed "Death to America" they meant it literally!!! That's why a nuclear bomb program was created…to destroy western civilization.

        • A lot of the world believed in eugenics and that is why little mustache man was tolerated for so long.

          • True.

            Years before 9-11, an American sniper had Osama bin Laden in his crosshairs. He called the White House for permission to pull the trigger. Attorney General Janet Reno convinced Bill Clinton that the sniper should stand down. The rest, as they say, is tragic history.

          • Ok try 3, disqus ads keep refreshing the page…

            I heard two possibilities: budget for GWB had the Islam payment process for peace after that attack. And the more likely thing: after Al gore lost, Clinton stopped the payments that kept us from being attacked again, and that was part of the timing.

            This was from someone who I would trust.

  32. This article raises a very good point. If the democrats think that 1ran is a unified country, far from it. I would imagine their infighting is slightly less worse than their "struggle" with 1sreal and the US.

  34. Yet all the corrupt lefty loser MSM outlets report the Iranians propaganda as if its the real news.
    They will report anything that shows PDJT is losing control. Don't believe a single word they say!

    • Quite true. The war in these times is fought not only on the battlefield but also in places like this reader-comments section where propagandists can ply their lies from Pakistan, Indonesia, or Lebanon.

  35. No one believes this…not the American first crowd that feels Trump betrayed his base with this Israel-first war…..not the neocons who hold to the fantasy that because we blew up their navy…that means America won and they are mad Trump is paying for peace….and not the Dems who hate everything Trump does carte blanch. One thing is sure, he gave up the house and senate for this war.

    • Wrath of God to those against Israel is a step too far for sane minds. Delusional curse Israel, and a deadly stupid mistake.

      • What about those of us who feel Israel is a terrible ally and should be left alone Ala Ukraine? I mean our founding fathers instructed us to avoid alliances for this very reason.

  36. And why should anyone believe the author of this poorly written article that is in fact nothing but an empty pep talk and opinion and devoid of any substantial facts?

  38. I trust President Trump to make the best deal for America, and I trust he is remembering how long we have had to deal with these radicals, and the cost of lives and resources all the other presidents capitulated to.
    I can see how easy it would be to let the fractured regime kill each other off, because it's the same tactic used by the CCP on us. The CCP said long ago they would take over without firing the first shot. We are so divided, it takes little to bring us to blows with ourselves.
    Self interests and the love of money and power will do it every time.

  40. Correction. Saddam had chemical warheads, and used them against Iran in their protracted war, as is evidenced by many sources. You hear "WMD" and automatically think nukes, but that's a mistake on your end.

      • They were found. Some went to Syria and then were used on those people. Saddams sons where killed by the border just after crossing back after delivering them.

        There were some bunkers that had them, also.

        GWB knew they had them because his dad supplied them when he was director of the cia.

          • Newsweek had an article the week of the shootout. Mapped the route they took.

            Karl rove convinced the media to not run the story about finding the cache of them.

    • Yes he had chemicals and used them wisely against Iran. That is NOT a nuclear device of mass destruction as stated by Meathead George Bush.

  41. I agree with this article.

    I also think that Iran has been supported for decades by the "city of london bankster gangsters"

  42. Using their own wickedness against them, Jesus calls it a house divided.
    Like wolves at a table waiting for beef, Big dog Trump is throwing them a bone for an appetizer.

  43. The Great Tragedy is the absence of AK-47 "assault weapons."
    Every great tragedy begins with Soviet intervention.
    The Chinese lack flair. The North Koreans shed intestinal parasites.

  45. Israel is the aggressor so if you people stop trying to kill your neighbors you would not have to worry about.

  48. What's this guy talking about? We already won. We achieved all of our objectives, which according to the MOU, were to lift the sanctions, unfreeze Iran's assets, raise a $300 billion fund to repair all the damage we caused, and to make sure Iran controls the straits.

  49. So Iraq part deux. Suni, Shia, Kurds and who knows who else fighting for control. After kicking Iraq out of Kuwait, Bush should have left it alone to continue its fight with Iran.

  50. Islam is singled out because it is currently the religion most associated with the West's primary geopolitical security threats, it is perceived as fundamentally incompatible with secular liberalism, and its growing demographic presence has triggered deep cultural anxieties. These factors are then amplified by media algorithms and political opportunism, creating a modern "moral panic" that frames the entire faith as an existential threat.

    • Islam is not a religion. It's a death cult full of slavers, pedophiles and murderers! The entire ideology is a threat.

  51. The Gateway Pundit will not admit that the United States and Israel lost the War. Throwing Atomic bombs at Iran will not solve your mental problems.

  52. Islam is satan's military. So obvious the world is the battleground in the war between two kingdoms, God's and satan's.

  53. Evil is a house divided. And all those evil Islamic people in that Iranian house along with all the America First, your a traitor if you support Israel like Tucker, are all divided. Fighting against each other.

    Even those that come here and post in support of Leaving Iran like Spaceman Spiff and others, don't even know what is going on in Iran, don't even consider it, and are divided with the IIRG Mulla Evil.

  55. I wouldn't talk to them. I would bomb them (brn POS's) every day until tired. And when I finished resting, the bombing would start again! Rinse, repeat…

  56. "Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
    Winston Churchill expressed his views on Islam in several of his early works, particularly based on his experiences as a young British officer in Sudan and the North West Frontier of India. In The River War (1899), he wrote: "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is a fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live" (Churchill, 1899)
    .
    He also noted the militant and proselytizing nature of Islam: "No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith" (Churchill, 1899)

    .

  57. It looks to me that it is Trump's credibility and judgment that are being cooked.
    With a hugely important election coming up in November.
    I'd like to believe the 3-D chess analysis, but I don't anymore.
    Sad.

  59. Uhhh Ohhhh! JUST IN…….

    Iran has just walked away from the negotiations and said that it will not do any further negotiating until Trump publicly apologizes to Iran for Iran for saying…

    "You close the Strait and you won't have a country. You won't even make it back to your f****** country. We'll take over the rest of the country. "We may take over the Strait, if we have to. I'll blow the s*** out of them."

    The question now is … will Iran close the Strait again?…what is Trump going to do about it?….Will Trump ever learn to keep his big mouth shut???

    STAY TUNED FOLKS FOR THE NEXT EXCITING EPISODE OF TRUMP'S BIG BLUNDER SHOW!

  60. I agree with this almost completely,. Every part that I think I understand about what has been going on in Iran Since the fall of the Shah is in accord with this. I had often mentioned that Iran is financially pressed because they have 4 million government employees, but also have 4 million other people who get government paychecks. The IRGC are part of the 4 million who also get pay check But are not government employees. And yes, it was deliberately divided into many different little fiefdoms So that no one person would become all powerful in the country through the IRGC.
    The part I didn't follow ever was personalities, because it would've been impossible to separate truth from rumors of rivals at that level. I don't speak the language, Iran was not the country I was most interested in. It sounds like Joe Hoft has made sure to find people who knew the details and could research the personalities. That makes this unusually good reporting.
    This also shows why Trump has not been Really trying to solve this through negotiations with IRGC. There really is no one person in charge. He is waiting until other people can take over. It is typical of Trump's negotiating strategy with a real enemy to zig and zag so they are never really sure what weakness he is aiming for. This time, and zagging is intrinsic to what he is doing, because it keeps them watching him instead of whoever is doing the dirty work on the ground in Iran, working with the Iranian people.

  62. Why play 5-D chess with an Islamic regime when you can just obliterate them? None of what Trump is doing makes any sense.

    • What makes you think that Trump can just obliterate them? What makes you think that an attack on Iran like you are advocating would not result in every oil producing state in the middle East being in flames and completely destroying the entire world economy?

      What makes you believe that Trump wouldn't obliterate Iran if he could?

      Do you realize that Iran just walked out of all negotiations and said they will not negotiate any further until Trump publicly apologizes for threatening them with bombing again?

      • We have the bombs and the tech to locate the enemies. Iran can’t strike their neighbors anymore. What makes me think Trump can’t do it is the fact that he isn’t! Yes I know Iran isn’t serious about peace. That’s why I’m saying obliterate them.

        • If we have those kinds of bombs and tech then instead of using it, why did Trump allow over 400 U.S. Troops to be injured, (some losing limbs) from being bombed by Iran and why did Trump allow 13 U.S. Troops to lose their lives by being bombed by Iran? Why is Trump continuing to allow Israel and all of the other U.S. allies in the region to be bombed by Iran. Has Trump been saving the bombs and tech and tech that you claim that Trump has that can stop Iran from setting the entire middle East on fire for a special occasion?

          • Probably because he’s afraid of what the fake news media will say about him if he does. Trump is all about his own ego and image. That’s all he really cares about. That might be why he’s doing this deal in the first place, so that WHEN Iran violates it, he has an excuse to obliterate them.

  64. there is always a power of vacuum when a country has been defeated its natural … I read a story about how even more Iranian women are not wearing the burka's … if you ever seen the WWII movie Force 10 from Navarone when they blew the dam and made it back to base … it didn't collapse they were all really mad … but the engineer sat back and lit his pipe and said … be patient … they cracked it enough to let nature takes its course …

  65. As I have stated elsewhere, if I fault Trump for anything, it is for not adequately explaining, to the American people, his objectives in Iran.

    • The problem being that the objectives depend at least to some degree on cooperation from the surrounding area. The best solution is a true Middle East accord, including Israel, where the gulf members police Iran themselves and the EU has an active role. Alas, we see just how useless basically the entire world is other than Israel. Bibi knows this and so he's not willing to play nice and Trump is stuck forcing the issue himself. Which he's doing. Agree or not with his approach, oil is back nearly down to pre-war levels and Trump is still in the driver's seat.

      • The problem is who we are dealing with. This was, is, and will continue to be a problem so long as fanatics are in control of the government of Iran. I don’t fault Trump for what he’s doing; I fault him for not explaining the situation to the American people. He seems to think they should know; but they don’t. Course, there are those who you can explain it to, who will deny it anyway.

        • I agree with what you’re saying. Unfortunately, this situation just isn’t explained via the type of short, digestible sound bite Trump is so very good at. Any longer explanations would get lost in translation and misconstrued. And as you say, even if the message is clearly explained, people will deny it anyway. Heck, there are a sizable number of Americans who insist that Trump is a racist despite incontrovertible truth that he is not.

    • Our government doesn't announce regime change via a psychological operation. Not even when we are being manipulated.

      • There has been no regime change, in Iran. But there does appear to be warring factions which has resulted in one faction undermining another in an effort to seize control of Iran absent a functioning government.

  67. We doin't know the true state of affairs, likely never will. First casualty of war is the truth.

  69. One thing i havent heard anyone talk about is time. How much time he had before congress becomes involved which he did a good job on and how much time before he can start bombing again without having to involve congress this time too. I believe the first time was 90 days? Now, if he creates another bombing champaign and starts destroying iran, does he have another 90 days to do it in or does congress get to become involved right away?

  70. sounds good to me. all these people who think they know what Trump is doing really have no idea what he is doing. its been fun to watch though.

  71. Sometimes a tree must be shaken to see what falls out. After seeing that, you adjust your strategy.

  73. I have heard it repeated that you can't regime change Iran by just bombing alone, and that it will take boots, and shoots to seal the deal.

    I called b.s. on that because I know how a psychological operation works. It's true as the story describes. No Iranian civilians or U.S. troops need to die in massive numbers to stop this iranian government. Their own psyche will remove themselves by simple coercion.

  75. I'm getting Iran/Trump fatigue. Destroy everything until they have no other option than to surrender. Stop trying to deal with liars and fanatics.

  79. Extremely smart article Joe, but it does lead to a problem. It's basically a bunch of nasty men as usual fighting for power aka Hitler, Mao, Castro and Stalin all forcing their way to the top. In this Darwinian struggle the most brutal will rise to the top. It won't necessarily be good for the people or change our leverage.

  80. Part of the process/plan ? IDK, could be,or it could be the plan C/D to find a silver lining that could reap some benefit at least.

  82. The IRGC is compromised of corrupt warring factions, like the Mafia in The Godfather.
    President Trump is like Michael Corleone, who cleaned house and consolidated power.

  83. Trump needs to realize what this shit show looks like to those who can't read his mind. Because none of what is currently going on with Iran/Israel/Lebanon/Hezbollah/Hamas makes any sense. Negotiating with Islamic fundamentalist terrorists makes no sense, and goes against everything Trump has previously said about them. If there is some brilliant plan hidden under a thick blanket of subterfuge, well cool. But he needs to know that even his most devoted supporters are baffled, and saying "WTF is going on?"

    • The Israelis have violated nothing. The Israelis are not bound by any agreements that Trump makes.Trump knows that. The Iranians know that. The Israelis know that.
      All Patriot and THAAD interceptors in Israel that haven’t already been destroyed should be withdrawn.
      It’s time for the US to put a collar on Israel.

      • Actually the very first item that is listed in the MOU that Trump signed says that Israel is bound by this agreement. Not the second, not the third or forth but the very first item in the MOU that Trump signed says this.

  84. Joe is dreaming again.
    Iran has the US “over a barrel”, literally. An oil barrel specifically. The rapidly draining Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) will be exhausted within weeks.
    Trump blinked.

  85. Let’s sing it …“I hear that Drone a comm”in! It’s comm’in round the bend! I ain’t seen my camel since I don’t know when! I’ve been stuck in Farsi prison since I don’t know when!…..”

  86. After the U.S. blew threw so much of its advanced munitions that it had to cancel long planned shipments to Taiwan, but still failed to take out Iran’s missile and drone threat, and after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, depriving the rest of the world of 20% of its crude oil and natural gas and 25% of its fertilizer, threatening to cause a global economic depression and serious famine in the third world, Trump knew he had the Iranians right where he wanted them.

  87. Once the 4th of July passes, the real fireworks will light up the skies of Iran, targeting all the IRGC players.

  89. Trump has promised Iran that if they will just stop their shootin and open up the strait the U.S. will not only give them back the 100 Billion Dollars in their frozen assets that the U.S. has been keeping from them but that they will also get an additional 300 Billion dollars to pay for any and all damages that the U.S. has caused by bombing them.

    The present status is that as a gesture of good faith, Trump has already given them a substantial amount of the 100 Billion that the U.S. is holding and that the amount that Trump has given them so far is substantially more than the 1.4 Billion in Iranian frozen assets that Obama release to Iran when he was in office.

          • You need to read the PUBLISHED TEXT OF THE MOU.

            The published text of the U.S.–Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) commits the United States and its regional partners to developing a plan with "at least" $300 billion in funding.

            READ IT. LOVE IT. CHERISH IT.

          • It is NOT the agreement…
            It is nothing but a promise to talk…
            The US will fund very little of that…as DJT has said this is for the benefit of the area more than for us.
            And iran, when running better, will have resources of it's own.
            Again, the MOU is not the deal.

          • If this is for the benefit of the area and not for us why are we the ones with the skyrocketing prices on everything including the cost of gas and why did we lose the lives of U.S service men and women and why did some of them lose limbs over this and why did we spend all of these Billions of dollars fighting this war. Kindly be specific in your answer because this is something that everyone has just got to hear!

          • I did read it. The $300 billion is foreign investment. Business investment. No one will be giving Iran anything. There will be very strong conditions attached to the investments. And we control the fund. We set the conditions.

            We own Iran now.

          • The MOU is nothing more than Trump's wish list/demands. Iran also has it's wishlist/demands in the MOU too. Trump said that he did not want to give them any money up front and that he would get the 3 Billion from others. However, Trump has given them some money up front and so far no one has agreed to give Trump any of the 300 Billion that Trump is asking them to give to Iran. Trump has got to make good on the 300Billion and that is one of the main sticking point right now.

          • If Iran wants the foreign investment then they will have to make themselves attractive to foreign investments. It's on them. We aren't giving them anything.

            We call the shots. Iran obeys.

          • Oh, really?

            When is that going to start?

            Is it going to start after Trump's next 60 day cease fire extension?

        • The actual facts in the many news reports for the last week…
          Just the propaganda and the current satus on the ground reflecting none of it, shows it.
          AND, they do not have 100mil frozen…that number is incorrect.

          • Forget reports if you really want to know what is in the MOU,READ THE PUBLISHED TEXT OF THE MOU. Or if you like just continue to bury your head in the sand and pretend that what is actually in the MOU is not real if you prefer.

          • Geesh man…
            I just explained that to you…
            I have read is more than once…
            The MOU maens noithing.
            What is it about that you don't get?
            wow….
            t is NOT the agreement…
            It is nothing but a promise to talk…
            The US will fund very little of that…as DJT has said this is for the benefit of the area more than for us.
            And iran, when running better, will have resources of it's own.
            Again, the MOU is not the deal.

    • The best estimate is that Iran has around $120B in frozen assets, of which the US holds about $2B. The rest of the world holds the rest. Wiki Iranian frozen assets, and don't give me grief about Wiki, yes I know.

    • You are nothing but leftist propaganda troll.
      Go away.
      But take with you the real facts we have given you.

    • You are nothing but leftist propaganda troll.
      Go away.
      But take with you the real facts we have given you.

    • Sadly, you have to make things up and you don't know what you're talking about. It would be best for you to just be quiet.

    • Bull squirt.
      And not that it matters of you…
      The 'them' we are dealing with is not the regime of the past…
      That is all but gone.
      And ZERO funds have been passed.
      Try and come up to speed.

  90. I'm 100% certain MrHoft has the 2nd half of this, so hopefully will elaborate at some point. MrT is not contending with "Iran", rather TheCrown's proxy, "IRGC":
    "Khamenei, to coup-proof his rule, massively empowered the IRGC and turned it into a powerful state-within-a-state."

    Many of the entities tied to IRGC that have been sanctioned by Treasury's ScottBessent have headquarters in London/UK. Thus:
    TheCrown -> IRGC BoogeyMan -> Create ThreatLevel -> Lloyd'$ In$urance Premium$ for Hormuz Shipping -> TheCrown

    CityOfLondon is running Iran via the IRGC… & keeping the Middle East all sorts of crazy playing both/many sides against each other. MrT is knee-capping the situation to return control of the state to the Iranians.
    Just run "difference between Iran's Military & the IRGC" through ChatGPT

    (edit) cbsnews: 9:24A
    U.N. maritime agency says Tehran's Strait of Hormuz insurance demands not "official"
    The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has refuted an apparent Iranian effort to introduce a new requirement for all commercial vessels to have an insurance policy approved by Tehran before transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

    The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), an agency created by Iran during the war that the regime says has sole responsibility for regulating traffic through the vital waterway, said in documents that surfaced last last week that ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz needed insurance approved by the agency.

    • The regime at the start of the war, is no longer…
      That is the main take here…
      Now, to try..and be sure the ones who do take power are going to be upstanding and for the people…
      And that the people can revolt as they see fit.

  92. And the IDF will no doubt begin termination of these rats shortly. Trump and Bibi are playing good cop bad cop IMO

  94. We haven't seen one of these Joe Hoft articles from beyond bizarro world in awhile.

    A lot of commenters turn to this same line of "reasoning". If it looks bad claim it's some of Trump's 17D Chess that no one can understand.

  95. Confabulating again I see. This comes off as being a sore loser. And where does he get off calling them animals? Are we forgetting k!lling their religious leader and his family that first day in a sneak attack while negotiating with them? That's a war crime and called perfidy. And those poor 168 schoolgirls. Double tapped. How dare you call them animals. You don't have the moral high ground here, pal. I know some of you will say he meant the leadership. My point is still well taken. Trump knowing what he is doing? Give me a break. He's clueless. Let him cook alright. He's almost done.

      • Sad? What are you talking about? I'll tell you what I'm sad about. I'm sad for those 168 schoolgirls and all the other innocent people k!lled in this war of choice. I'm sad that our elected government chose to waste our tax dollars on this boondoggle. I'm sad that we have have to read articles like this that are trying to spin a loss into victory. Sad… you have no idea. As far as Trump coming out ahead in this conflict? Sad.

        • Do you realize how easy it would be for the crazy bearded guys in Tehran to bring a nuclear bomb to, say, New York City and destroy most of Manhattan? Do you think it would have been nice for the "Death to America" crazies to have that type of intimidating power over the United States and the world?

          But then, you might be in Islamabad, Jenin, or Damascus and think destroying the Great Satan in Washington is a great idea.

          • You don’t believe what I wrote is true? Do you doubt that Iran has been led by evil men since 1979? Do you think those crazy bearded guys wouldn’t use a nuclear bomb if they had one?

            When evil people tell you what destruction they seek, believe them. We didn’t believe Hitler. We should believe the crazy bearded guys.

          • I do not believe what you wrote. Iran has not been ruled by evil men. "Crazy bearded guys" is an ad hominem attack that shows you have no sincere argument. IF they had or even wanted a nuke they would only use it as a deterrent to being attacked by the real terrorists in this world. Us and Israel.

          • You don't know anything about the real Iran. All you know is the demonization propaganda fed to us by the media and politicians. To think Iran has been working on a nuclear weapon for 42 years and will use it as soon as they get it is an absolute absurdity. And those who can be made to believe absurdities can be made to commit atrocities.

          • No, Iran would not deploy a nuclear device. They will use the threat of using it to intimidate the rest of the world. But first they needed to build it. According to one of there negotiators, Iran had accumulated enough fissile material for eleven nuclear bombs.

            When you think about it, it is pure madness to think you could develop nuclear bombs and not suffer the consequences. That chief bearded guy was squished to a pancake for pursuing nuclear capability.

            Having a nuclear capability would have guaranteed the total destruction of Iran. An attack ny the crazy bearded guys would have brought a devastating attack on Iran.

          • Sounds lie another absurdity. Iran has been threatened and attacked by two nuclear powers for decades and they don't seem all that intimidated.

            But here's some facts. Our intelligence analysts have been saying for 20 years that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program. Tulsi almost got fired for re-iterating that to Congress in the National Security Assessment. Joe Kent quit his job saying the same thing. The IAEA confirmed this assessment with 10 years of inspections of Iran's nuclear sites. Iran is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty which is a pledge to not build nuclear weapons, and also gives them the right to nuclear power and the enrichment of uranium up to anything below weapons grade. Iran's Defense Cooperation Agreement with the Russians is contingent on Iran living up to it's NPT obligations. The Ayatollah we killed banned Iran from building nuclear weapons in 2003.

            But despite all of that you would go so far as to nuke them because the media and politicians have you all spun up with fear. I wish they'd have built the damn thing 20 years ago, which they could have if they wanted to. Then we wouldn't have to listen to this BS anymore. We'd be leaving them alone, like North Korea. We don't say so much as "Boo" to them anymore. And you know what? They're not nuking anyone or holding the world hostage. And that's seems to be the lesson the rest of the world is going to take from this. If you don't want to be attacked by the United States, you need a nuclear weapon,

          • Your proficiency at espousing the position of the Islamic regime in Tehran, and your doctrinaire comments strongly suggest you don’t have a casual relation with the mullahs.

            It’s no secret that the radical jihadis have been using the Internet, and access to western websites, to spread misinformation and disinformation about the Iranian regime.

            All of what you wrote departs from the uncontrovertible evidence that has been pried out of Iran. They have been enriching materials, not for reactors but for nuclear bombs. Remember Stuxnet?

            The world now is adamant…no Iranian nukes. Never!!!

          • It's proficiency with the facts. Do an AI search and here's what you get.

            U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and that its supreme leader has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program that was suspended in 2003.

            Current Assessment of Iran's Nuclear Program
            U.S. Intelligence Findings
            U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon.
            The supreme leader of Iran has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program that was suspended in 2003.
            Context of the Assessment
            Despite Iran enriching uranium to higher levels, this activity does not indicate an active nuclear weapons program.
            The intelligence community continues to monitor Iran's nuclear activities closely, noting that while Iran has increased its stockpile of enriched uranium, it is not indicative of an imminent threat or a current weapons program.
            Summary of Key Points
            Aspect Status
            Nuclear Weapon Development Not currently building a nuclear weapon
            Supreme Leader's Authorization Has not reauthorized the weapons program
            Uranium Enrichment Increased stockpile, but not for weapons
            This assessment reflects a cautious approach, emphasizing that while Iran's nuclear capabilities are being closely watched, there is no evidence of an active weapons program at this time.

            Every year the IC analysts have to provide Congress the National Security Threat Assessment and they have been saying this every year for 20 years. It has nothing to do with your fantasies about Iran controlling the internet. And The US and Israel are hardly "The World"

          • Judge: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Have you reached a verdict?
            Jury Foreman: Yes we have your honor. We find the defendant, walshjim, guilty as charged of drinking the kool-aid.
            Judge: Let me just say this. In all my years on the bench I have never seen a more pitiful defense presented. Absolutely no evidence produced other than ad hominem attacks and hearsay. Take him away.

      • We apparently achieved all of our objectives which were to lift the sanctions, unfreeze Iran's assets, raise a $300 billion fund to rebuild the damage we caused, and turn over control of the straits to Iran. Complete and total victory. No one has ever seen anything like it.

    • No tears for the 40,000 protesters who took bullets trying to fight for freedom, that's odd.

      • Apparently you didn't get the memo. It was only about 3000 insurrectionists. Who were given weapons by the CIA and Mossad. They k!lled hundreds of police in trying to overthrow the government. Even we have laws against that.

  96. I’m convinced Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. And that’s why the Left is going bonkers. I’m also thinking the Kurdish fighters in NW Iran may be secretly funneling in firearms to the Iranian people so they can take their country back.

    • agree with the first part and hope the second part is true. Heard they tried but kept the weapons. Won’t know until they use them if it works.

  98. President Trump is certainly trying ….
    He may thwart their efforts for now but they will go right back to it.
    Keep in mind Trump is not a forever president.

  100. The real story that TGP clearly missed is that US folded like a cheap carboard box on Iran, now we are trying to explain it by saying that Trump has been playing 3D chess against Iran and winning.

    Look, time to admit we failed instead of creating alternative stories to bamboozle and confuse people.

  102. How about instead crushing the Satanic entity called Israel.The true Israel of the Bible is the Christian Church.Those occupying the Holy Land are as Jesus called them the Synagogue of Satan.

  104. I hope some attention is given to the U.S. and our Muslim problem …

    Islam is becoming bolder in our country ..

    THE ISLAMIZATION OF TEXAS CONTINUES — NOW THEY'RE ON OUR HIGHWAYS (Video)
    RAIR Foundation
    June 20, 2026

    Can you imagine … but it is for real!

    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2510e5ab70239a613e88ec13028d51f754d9822ef7e1c78ba5f71632f4848f8.jpg

    A large blue billboard currently stands along I-30 in Dallas, Texas, boldly proclaiming in white capital letters: “THE MUSLIMS WERE RIGHT.”

    The advertisement is paid for by ICNA / WhyIslam, with the toll-free number 877-WHY-ISLAM and the website WHYISLAM.ORG prominently displayed. The billboard is visible to thousands of Texas drivers daily against the Dallas skyline.

    This is the same ICNA/WhyIslam group that, just months ago, set up at Wylie East High School and handed out Qurans, hijabs, and “Understanding Shariah” pamphlets to students during lunch – without parental consent and in violation of school policy.

    The same groups have documented ties to networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, as exposed in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial. WhyIslam is influenced by Jamaat-e-Islami and operates as part of a broader, long-term strategy.

    Now they’re on our highways telling every driver that “the Muslims were right.”

    Texans, this is not neutral community outreach. This is dawah – the Islamic invitation phase.

    Groups like ICNA and WhyIslam are following a deliberate, documented strategy. Their approach, drawn from Muslim Brotherhood planning documents (including the 1991 Explanatory Memorandum) and classical Islamic sources, has two main stages:

    Stage 1 (current): Invitation and normalization while numbers are still small. Use billboards, school events, public messaging, and community programs to make Islam more visible and accepted.

    Stage 2: Once they have demographic weight and institutional access (schools, government, media, corporations), shift to consolidation and dominance. The stated goal in these documents is not permanent pluralism, but the eventual establishment of Islamic governance.

    Osama bin Laden used a similar pattern publicly before 9/11. He repeatedly issued “invitations” to the West to accept Islam. When those were rejected, he escalated to violent jihad.

    If this billboard doesn’t concern you, you’re not paying attention. Texas drivers see this messaging every day on I-30. Our kids saw it in their school cafeteria.

    Enough Texas. Demand that ICNA and WhyIslam lose access to our public schools and taxpayer-funded highway billboards.

    The “invitation” phase only continues as long as we keep accepting it.

      • Yes and No.

        There are people searching for purpose and something to believe in beyond themselves. Here's friendly Islam, claiming
        "Muslims are right." They are getting voted in for political positions and they aren't the terrorist image. They have cleaned that up.

        Their bigger point it to normalize and have Islam be perfectly acceptable, when it is totally incompatible with our Constitution and way of life. You don't have to convert. Just view it as another peaceful religion that appears to be conservative.

        Don't look at their Quran or history. They are exploiting our freedom of religion and freedom of speech, as they make progress. Criticism of Islam is being pushed as a "hate crime" in Virginia.

  105. If I were king, number one on the MOU would be immediate opening of the Internet to the entire country. Iran must support uncensored Internet access, through support of Starlink D2C both with direct satellite access and also through connection from MCI and MTN IranCell. I would be happy for America to fund this for the next 12 months as the Gulf states work out the rest of their investment treaties.

  106. Just nuke Tehran from high earth orbit and let God sort those souls out! The surviving Persian's will figure it out pretty quickly. Just like the Japanese did.

  110. Too bad this intel doesn’t get to US citizens thru NYT and CNN. They are all oblivious spreading TDS nonsense and vandalizing the reflecting pool

  111. The only problem I have with #47’s deal is it seems the deal with the Iranian terrorist includes provisions to protect their terrorist minions in Lebanon from Israeli counterattack.

  113. Now would be a good time for Santa to put five AKs and two cases of ammo under every Iranian family's Christmas Tree.

  114. The real story that TGP clearly missed is that US folded like a cheap carboard box on Iran, now we are trying to explain it away by saying that Trump has been playing 3D chess against Iran behind the scenes and victory is almost here, we just have to wait a little bit more to find out.

    Look, time to admit we failed instead of creating alternative stories to bamboozle and confuse people.

  115. It doesn't take long to reduce any country to 3rd world status and allow it to destroy itself.
    Iran is going to have to ditch Islam.
    MICA!
    Make Iran Christian Again!!

  116. Let the man work in the manner in which he works. Go knit a king-size blanket and check back when he's done. And you ICE protesters, go home or help round up illegals. Life will be better for all Americans. Even you.

  118. President Trump isn't cooking anything. His attempt to overthrow the Iranian government failed and could not succeed without a massive military buildup along with new weapons and training across the board. Airpower alone has never won a war against a significant foe. This is especially true when our military is essentially stuck in the 1990s in terms of technology and military philosophy. We don't even have as many men under arms as we had back in the 1990s. Yes, the Trump Administration is desperately trying to spin narratives that make it look like we're in the driver's seat, but nothing could be farther from the truth. You can't technically say that we lost the war: Iran has not the capacity to overtake the American homeland. We failed to meet our objectives, and are not trying to craft a peaceful solution that is clearly far less than what we had before our unprovoked attack.

  119. You have to watch Glenn Beck's podcast he made yesterday. He really shows the inside of how Trump's brain works. Pres. Trump is truly an amazing man. Far, far more intelligent than we ever thought.

  120. Do an AI search and here's what you get.

    U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and that its supreme leader has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program that was suspended in 2003.
