I feel very sad for the protestors in Iran who lost their lives.
Nearly 100,000 innocent people slaughtered this year in Iran by the Iranian regime and IRGC.
Yes, the people of Iran are historically Persian, not Islamic, which is why Trump needs to free the people of Iran from the Islamic death cult that holds them hostage.
THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
Iran may have no navy and no air force, but Iran still has the IRGC, a large army, and most of all, a regime ideology that has not been defeated (we have not armed the Iranian people to try to take it out). They are still shooting ballistic missiles and drones (and it's not clear if those weapons are part of the negotiations, although none of it will ultimately be enforceable). It appears we are protecting Hezbollah from annihilation (no, Israel is not at war with Lebanon), which is Iran's most powerful militia and has killed and maimed Americans for the last 40 years, and Hamas is rearming rather than disarming (again, Israel sought to destroy it). This does not bode well for the future, certainly after the conclusion of the Trump administration. Moreover, I don't think Communist China, our biggest threat, is impressed today (I believe it was at the outset of our military operation). If billions are directly or indirectly released to the Iranian.
How long am I supposed to wait? How many more people have to die? How many more terrorist attacks have to take place? How much more evidence do I need before recognizing a growing threat for what it is?
If a regime openly seeks nuclear weapons, develops longer-range missiles, sponsors terrorism, and repeatedly threatens America and its allies, at what point do I stop pretending the danger isn't real?
I keep hearing that we should wait, negotiate longer, and hope for the best. But what happens if we're wrong? What happens if one day they possess the capability to threaten the United States directly?
These are the questions I ask myself. Not because I want conflict, but because I understand the consequences of ignoring a threat until it's too late.

If it is perceived in the region that a deal with Iran allows the regime to survive and become more powerful over time, we will have poured gasoline on the conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq.
A deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the Strait in the future will put Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia militias in Iraq on steroids.
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.
This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.
Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.
It is important we get this right.
Let me try it this way: the Iranian regime's ideology does NOT allow it to abandon its reason for existence. It believes Allah compels it to do whatever it takes -- cheat, lie, deceive, imprison, torture, and murder -- if it means survival and furtherance of its revolution.
