If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

The idea that the Iranian regime has fundamentally changed is a dangerous illusion. By allowing the IRGC to leverage the current negotiations to protect Hezbollah and dictate terms in Lebanon, we are sending a disastrous message to the world. Instead of forcing the regime to disengage from the very proxies that destabilize the region, these concessions effectively shield them. This is a recipe for future wars. It emboldens every non-state actor and militant group by demonstrating that terrorism is not just a viable strategy, it is a highly profitable investment that bears diplomatic fruit and tangible rewards. Trump simply cannot claim to be seeking long-term peace while simultaneously underwriting the architects of regional chaos!🤦🏻‍♂️

Vance’s handshake with Ghalibaf will begin a transition from a President who once said help for Iran’s people is on way to legitimization of a brutal regime and one of the architects of the crackdown. The selling of a pragmatic “we can work with”Iran is well underway.

“Soon, the hideous and most impure corpse of Pharaoh (Donald Trump) will be floating in the waters of the Persian Gulf, so that everyone sees and understands who the boss is!” The President of the United States is once again being threatened on state TV as the IRGC appears elated with the terms of the deal. Regime figures are portraying it as a major victory for the Islamic Republic, claiming that the Islamic Republic is calling the shots while Donald Trump listens. The theatrics, threats, and triumphalism from the regime will only intensify from here.

Whatever Trump’s intentions, the one-sided Iran memorandum of understanding is at this moment emboldening our enemies and disheartening our friends. And that will have consequences.

Two simple questions: 1) Is Iran still a state sponsor of terrorism? 2) Is the IRGC still a terrorist organization? Very simple yes or no questions.

@nvwxr69 No

What I find truly astonishing is that Hezbollah has American blood on its hands on a scale ISIS never came close to matching. The Beirut embassy bombing. The Marine barracks bombing. Khobar Towers. The hostage-taking campaign. The training and arming of Iraqi militias that killed American troops. Decades of terrorist attacks stretching from Latin America to Africa and beyond. This is an organization designated as terrorist by dozens of countries and linked to the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Yet somehow, in 2026, we’ve reached the point where Hezbollah is effectively being treated as a protected legitimate entity under the most strategically absurd MOU imaginable. An attack on Hezbollah is now framed as an attack on Iran, thus incurring the wrath of the Trump administration. Think about that for a second! How does a U.S. president end up granting political legitimacy and strategic cover to a group responsible for killing so many American servicemen and civilians? The message sent to every terrorist organization on earth could not be clearer: kill enough people, survive long enough, and eventually you’ll get a seat at the table and a security guarantee. We used to say terrorism doesn’t pay. Apparently, it pays very well🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Donald Trump Jr has always been a low-IQ hack. He brought us Vance. He's too dumb to realize that the "we're not actually paying Iran ourselves" argument is one of the dumbest lines out there. Of course he gets community noted. Putz.

The only problem with this quote is that @tedcruz is lying thru his teeth about the deal. We're not giving them a cent and he knows that. Using fake news about the peace deal to undermine @realDonaldTrump is the opposite of MAGA.

Regardless of who the next US President will be, the damage is irreversible for at least the next few decades in the Gulf and the Middle East region. Trump’s “coup” has left the region caught between the jaws of Iran and Turkey: two extremist Islamic regimes, with no security or survival guaranteed for minorities, nor for moderates states or movements across the region. Indeed, as the left-wing populist demagogue Macron said while applauding: Bravo 👏”

In the wake of the recently published Memorandum of Misunderstanding between the White House and the Iranian regime, Aimen and Thomas explore what the MoU means and reflect on everything they got wrong about the Iran War. They discuss: How the MoU is a strategic lifeline for the Islamic Republic. How it legitimises Iran’s proxy network, from Hezbollah to the Houthis. How billions in frozen Iranian funds have already been released through Qatar — with American approval. How the proposed $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran has corruption written all over it. How it enshrines the principle that Iran can charge for access to the Strait of Hormuz. Whether Netanyahu lured Trump into a war he did not fully understand. The collapse of the Abraham Accords' vision for a new Middle East. If Conflicted itself has misread Trump, populism, and the future of American power. podcasts.apple.com/ae/podcast/con…

Vance is talking about the Regime as if he is conducting a transaction in a corporate environment assigning them KPI’s and expecting them to embrace a transformative approach. They will take the dollars, practice their “strategic patience” techniques and manoeuvres for the next

@Zvi_Edward_ I’m recording tomorrow, by then I should have grasped 5% of what really happened!😅

To lighten the mood, I’m sharing a dad joke I recently invented for my daughter: What do you call a vampire who ambushes you at night and drags you back to his lair? Dragula🤭 Because first he drags you, and then he goes all Dracula on you😱 Drag-ula🤓 I’ll see myself out😜

With all due respect, Mr. Vice President, World War II is probably the worst example you could have chosen. The whole reason World War II happened in the first place was because World War I ended with a deeply flawed post-war settlement. If anything, it is a warning about what happens when you fail to properly resolve the causes of a conflict. And when World War II did happen, how did it end? Not through negotiations. It ended with a decisive military victory. In Germany, Allied forces were literally within meters of Hitler’s bunker. In Japan, it took two nuclear bombs before the Imperial leadership finally accepted reality and surrendered unconditionally. I don’t even need to go digging through distant history or obscure corners of the world to find examples. Let’s stay in your own backyard. How did the American Civil War end? It ended with a decisive Union victory, the surrender of the Confederacy, Reconstruction, and accountability for those who had taken up arms against the Union. It did not end with everyone sitting around a table and agreeing to disagree. The lesson from history isn’t that wars should end through vague compromises that leave the underlying issues unresolved. Quite often, the lesson is the exact opposite: unresolved conflicts tend to come back, usually bigger and bloodier than before.

JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
