⚠️ A bipartisan group of House lawmakers warned against selling American F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey in a letter to President Trump last week.

Turkey was removed from the F-35 program after purchasing the Russian S-400 air defense system. Turkey illegally occupies part of Cyprus, antagonizes its Greek neighbors, threatens Israel, is friendly with Iran’s Islamist Terror Regime, and backs the Muslim Brotherhood & other anti-American terrorists.

The American people do not support providing all these top-line military gifts to Erdogan and his regime.  He is a national-socialist Islamist, a brutal dictator, key backer of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and a completely unreliable member of NATO (if we want to talk about NATO).  He threatened to destroy Israel the other day, and the administration not only said nothing but went ahead with the F-35 and jet engine sales AND will lift all sanctions against Turkey, and we are doing so while lavishly praising Erdogan.  Erdogan is a grave threat to Greece, another NATO member.  He is close friends with Putin and the Iranian regime.  And the list goes on.  I've posted several times about this because I believe it is so troubling and will have to be dealt with by future American administrations for decades to come.  It was absolutely unnecessary.

Every time Trump surrogates gaslighted you into believing that his administration was going to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization (chapter by chapter 🤡), they were selling you terrorist disinformation...just like the PLO and KGB.

Everyone who still thinks this is a 4D chess display is either in on the psyop or just dumb as hell.

Back when Hakan Fidan was Turkey's spy chief, he funneled classified U.S. intelligence over to Iran — including intel on Iran itself.

While serving MİT chief for over a decade, Fidan ran the agency that's been the operational backbone of Turkey's relationship with Hamas

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC has struck two additional tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, per UKMTO warnings 081-26 and 082-26.

The attacks come despite U.S. air cover — three KC-135 Stratotankers, two KC-46 Pegasus tankers, and multiple fighter jets probably were present at the same time with their transponders off.

UKMTO 081-26: Tanker struck by projectile, structural damage. No casualties.

UKMTO 082-26: Tanker hit by UAV, minor structural damage. No casualties.

Two Liberia-flagged ships are showing unusual activity in the area — possibly the vessels involved in today's attacks but not confirmed yet.

These are the third and fourth incidents today.

סוכנות הידיעות הלבנונית מוסרת כי שר החוץ של איראן, עבאס עראקצ'י, מסר בשיחה עם נציג המועצה האסלאמית השיעית בלבנון כי "השיחות עם ארה"ב לא יחודשו עד שלא יבוצע החלק הראשון במזכר ההבנות בנוגע ללבנון, ולא יהיה הסכם סופי כל עוד צה"ל לא ייסוג מלבנון". עוד מסר עראקצ'י כי איראן וארה"ב מינו את נציגיהן לוועדה האיראנית-אמריקאית-לבנונית, אך לבנון עוד לא עשתה כן, ואיראן מקווה שדבר זה יתרחש בהקדם. עוד אמר עראקצ'י כי הוא שוחח עם ג'וזף עאון על ההתפתחויות באזור, וכי עאון הגיב באופן חיובי. לדבריו, הייתה אמורה להתקיים שיחה בין שרי החוץ של המדינות, אך שר החוץ הלבנוני, יוסף רג'י, סירב. הוא הוסיף כי ביקורו של שר ההגנה הלבנוני בהלוויית חמינאי היא "צעד גדול ומוערך" בעיני איראן.

Congress banned F-35 sales to Turkey for several reasons: the S-400s, the illegal occupation of Cyprus, and the threats to Greece, to name a few. @POTUS cannot just wave these actions away with a handshake in Ankara.

I am urging @RepJeffries and @SteveScalise to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to prevent this Administration from illegally selling F-35s to Turkey.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

Erdogan is a sharia supremacist and he is not our ally.

Turkey and Qatar are the largest funders of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Erdogan has explicitly said he wants a global Islamic caliphate. We cannot keep placating these genocidal Muslims.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: US officials say Iran has struck a third commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, per Axios.

This follows attacks on two commercial vessels yesterday and comes after a one-week agreement between the US and Iran on halting attacks in the Strait of Hormuz has expired.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

U.S. forces shot down a number of Iranian UAVs today, American officials told NBC.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

A U.S. official: Iran struck three commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz today, a blatant violation of the memorandum of understanding. Washington is weighing its options.

Here we go.

Seems like if we can’t get Iran to give up attacking ships, we are going to have a hard time stopping their nuclear program.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

NOW: After 3 commercial ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian official told Press TV that all traffic through the waterway is now being conducted under Iran’s arrangements, warning that any U.S. “provocative action” will be met with an “immediate and decisive response.”

🚩Tehran: Qasem Soleimani’s funeral in 2020 compared to Khamenei’s funeral in 2026.

In red – those who did not survive (including Ismail Haniyeh in the second row).
In green – the one who survived everything... Esmail Qaani, Qasem Soleimani’s successor.

🛑#Trump- #Turkey

🚩Reporter: Mr. President, will you sell F-35 aircraft to Turkey, and what about the legal restrictions?

Trump: We will make a decision. I think a lot of people—and I can say that many of the people sitting here—will ask: why shouldn’t we do it?
We have a better relationship with Turkey, and in many ways Turkey has been more loyal to us than other countries we thought would be loyal.
It’s definitely something we will consider—yes.

In other words, bending the knee and empowering the Muslim Brotherhood.

🚩 President Trump on the issue of selling fighter jet engines to Turkey:

Turkey bought planes from the United States. When you buy a plane from the United States, and if engine maintenance is required, I think we have an obligation to maintain the engines and help them with their maintenance.
🤡

🚩 President Trump says he will lift the CAATSA sanctions from Turkey.

Lifting these sanctions will pave the way for the sale of F-35 aircraft to Turkey, but Congress can still oppose it.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

The Jewish Insider reports: In Iran, officials from dozens of countries — including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, India, China and Turkey — are taking part in the ongoing ceremonies around the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Absent from the funeral events are representatives from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, both of which were heavily targeted by Iran during the recent war. 

So, we are at war with Iran, I think, yet here we have officials from these countries attending the forever funeral of Khamenei, who we/Israel killed because of the dire threat he posed.  

If this doesn't underscore that not only did the Iranian regime survive, but that it is treated as it was before the war and in some cases even better and with more respect, then nothing else will.  We are in a very strange and troubling period.
