Did President Trump trade away unprecedented leverage after unprecedented military success?

My latest:

[Andrea Stricker @StrickerNonpro]

Gen. Keane: "June the 14th we got a deal, and that deal had one principle agreement in it...the Straits of Hormuz will be opened by the Iranians, the U.S. will remove the naval blockade." Iran hasn’t followed through and has made clear it will use this as escalation dominance. At some point, we will have to "take control of it ourselves and open it up."

Trump should end Iran’s winning streak at the negotiating table

For Tehran, negotiation is war by other means. Iran’s rulers think Trump is as beatable as his predecessors, writes @FDD @CliffordDMay https://t.co/nBrrKRpzuX

Our @ReaganInstitute summer survey shows Republicans (64%), MAGA Republicans(61%) & Under 30 MAGA (70%) all support @NATO

Those numbers will go up more when our @NATO allies make good on their promise to spend 5% of their GDP on defense @USAmbNATO

An emboldened regime goes after Iranian Christians.

[The Free Press @TheFP]

The Iranian regime is threatening to seize the oldest Protestant church in the country, warning its leaders: “We are no longer afraid of America,” @SulkinMaya reports.

“In Iran, you don’t have an independent court. So it would not be possible for us to fight back, to start a legal fight and bring back our documents because they confiscated our documents, our properties, and they issued new documents in the name of this organization under supreme leader,” said Sargez Benyamin, executive secretary of the Synod of the Evangelical Church of Iran in Diaspora and former pastor of St. Peter.

UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA.

Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget. @AmbUNReform

Readmitting Turkey to the F-35 fighter jet program would be a major mistake. That is because Erdogan has repeatedly cozied up with America’s enemies — namely Russia, Hamas, and China, write Cameron McMillan, @Brad_L_Bowman, and @SinanCiddi:

Exactly the right approach. Israel does not let the murderers of its people go unpunished. I have no doubt every one of these killers will be hunted down and eliminated.

This is the MidEast not the MidWest. You don’t survive by being weak.

Luke regularly calls out Tucker Carlson by name and exposes antisemitic conspiracy theorists. I’m rooting for Luke.

Superb addition to the @USUN team. Congratulations to @EllieCohanim — a warrior for freedom.

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

Proud to have @EllieCohanim on our side at @USUN.

Few know the Iranian regime like Ellie. Born in Tehran, raised in Queens—just like President Trump—she’s a fighter.

For America. Against antisemitism. For our freedom.

Glad to have her in the fight.

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

I remain optimistic that President Trump will “finish the job” when the conditions are right.

To do that, his administration needs to provide him a plan to support the Iranian people who are more committed than anyone to crippling the regime.

[Alex Ward @alexbward]

NEW: Trump is actively weighing a return to all-out war with Iran, discussing the possibility with senior officials like Hegseth and Caine—but he is sticking with diplomacy for now.

The conversations have centered around what some officials call “finishing the job.”

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

Yet another example of the silk-stocking socialist crowd who are more interested in accumulating wealth and power than improving the lives of the working class they claim to champion.

Amazing reporting from the @FreeBeacon on @RoKhanna's obscene wealth. Mr. "Fight the Epstein Class" with his two marble laundry rooms and net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

An administration official confirmed to me today that the US has not released any of the $6B in Iranian frozen funds for humanitarian goods as set forth in the MOU — and won’t until Tehran “performs.”

The people who are mad about Israel know no actual facts. They say stupid things like there's a genocide to justify their gross errors. This is because they've fallen for Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and Arab League propaganda and are useful IDIOTS to an anti-American cause.

[FDD @FDD]

Increasing Russian economic strain is a positive sign for the Ukrainian war effort, both providing added leverage in negotiations and weakening the Russian military’s financial support, stresses @angela__howard:

.@RobertKennedyJr: “The only genocide in Middle East is the one being committed against Jews and Christians. In 1948, there were a million Jews in Arab states. Today there are fewer than 15,000.” 👇
