So, Turkey would’ve fought on Iran’s side but for Trump’s intervention? That means Turkey would’ve fought against us not just Israel. Israel was our ally in fighting Iran. And now we’re selling them 80 fighter engines and F-35s as a reward?
Does this make any sense? Why is Congress such a patsy. This is pretty shocking.

🚨 POLL:
Reza Pahlavi has repeatedly called for a democratic and secular Iran, saying the Iranian people deserve freedom, prosperity, and a government chosen by the people.
Do you believe Reza Pahlavi is the best hope for Iran's future?
🅰️ Yes
🅱️ No
🅲️ Not Sure
$MU has rallied 1267% in the last 14 months, something which it has never done before. Regardless of fundamentals, this is a bubble and once it pops it will end badly. I don't expect it to be a secular top like 2000, but it will be similar to 1995-1996 or 2015: a 70%-80% crash.
The Iranian regime will now receive more money from this deal in a single year than Israel receives in 10 years (nearly all of which buys military equipment from American companies).
Israel is actively and aggressively focused on complete economic and military independence. It does not want to be treated as a sterling partner in war but a belittled punching bag the rest of the time. Just listen to what’s said about Israel by Democrats, Woke Reich podcasters, TV hosts, and even some of our friends.
I fear we will regret this as we grow closer to countries like Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan and go down a narrow and dark path.
SECRETARY RUBIO: "You can't have the end of hostilities and conflicts in the region as long as Iranian proxies are launching missiles and drones from Iraq, and are participating in terrorism like Hamas did and Hezbollah did."
🇮🇱🇱🇧🇺🇸 Ambassador @yechielleiter at the opening of the talks with Lebanon:
“This is the fifth round of talks, and I must say—we are heading toward a train wreck.
Four rounds ago, we all boarded the same train. We sat in the same carriage and set out toward the same destination, with the United States serving as the locomotive pulling us forward. That train was moving toward a very clear goal: a comprehensive peace between our countries—an Iran-free Lebanon, free from its malign influence; the dismantling of Hezbollah; and peace and security for both Lebanon and Israel.
Today, that train is in danger of derailing. I hope we can get it back on track.
The basic assumption was that Iran was out of the picture, and that the central issue was Lebanon and Hezbollah—not the extent to which Iran could restrain Hezbollah. That is not Iran’s role. Iran’s role is to leave Lebanon. It is the responsibility of the Lebanese government to exercise its sovereignty. Sovereignty means that Iran can no longer be involved in, or exert malign influence over, Lebanon.
We need clarity.
We hope the MOU will succeed, and we support President Trump vision. But I am concerned that the concept of deconfliction is misplaced.
The only issue is Hezbollah. Hezbollah must be defeated and removed from the equation. Instead, there is a real danger that Hezbollah has been given a new lease on life. There is little doubt that it feels emboldened and more confident than before.
I would like to ask:
• Is the dismantling of Hezbollah still the foundation of these talks?
• We agreed to a ceasefire on the condition that Hezbollah withdraw northward. Is that agreement still binding? We cannot afford commitments that simply fade away. Let me be clear: Israel will act against immediate and emerging threats to its citizens and soldiers.
• Iran is expected to benefit from an influx of funds under the memorandum of understanding. How will we ensure that these funds do not find their way to Hezbollah?”
