President, Iranian American Majority @iamajority

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

The future is very dark. Only a handful of people realize this now.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

It’s really strange how Iran is the only country/civilization whose history, geography, language - basically everything about it, is constantly misrepresented in the West. It almost seems by design.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

Persian Shahs never sought to destroy the Jewish people. This is flat out wrong. Otherwise, a pretty good speech.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

It’s the nation’s money, not theirs, you imbecile.

[Faytuks Network @FaytuksNetwork]

Trump defended the possible release of frozen Iranian funds, saying: “It’s their money.”

“At a certain point, I guess we’ll give Iran’s money back,” Trump said.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

Sure, Donny, sure. You keep telling yourself that.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Trump: The new leaders of Iran are far less radicalized.

[Josh Block @JoshBlockDC]

This is word-for-word the text I shared two nights ago, which is SO INSANE IT LOOKS LIKE IRGC PROPAGANDA & NO ONE BELIEVED IT COULD POSSIBLY BE REAL.

Sadly, IT IS REAL & it is a recipe for DISASTER.

There is no denying reality.
Letting Tehran access funds is INSANE.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

Yeah, when you’re facing an existential threat, sometimes you get “a little excited.” What an asshole.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

NEW: "In all fairness to Bibi Netanyahu, who happens to be a good man, he gets a little excited sometimes."

President Trump says he urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take a “softer touch” in dealing with Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

"I said, you can do a little softer touch, Bibi. You don't have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it."

While praising Netanyahu and their partnership, Trump revealed the two have had disagreements over how aggressively Israel responds to threats, but the alliance between the two remains strong.

[Amit Segal @AmitSegal]

Another evening of Trump’s crazy remarks:

1. After months of explaining why Iran must not have missiles, he now explains that as long as other countries have them, Iran should have them too.

2. He thinks that al-Shaara should deal with Hezbollah because, unlike Israel, he doesn’t topple buildings but handles things in a targeted manner.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

By this logic, Pakistan has nuclear weapons. Why shouldn’t Iran? Trump is really losing it.

[Faytuks News @Faytuks]

Trump says Iran needs to have ballistic missiles as other countries have them too.

"There are people around me who say they shouldn't even have one missile. I asked: what exactly do you suggest? That Saudi Arabia can have missiles and Iran cannot? It just doesn't work that way"

[Josh Block @JoshBlockDC]

JD Vance says it’s a page and half!

What kind of loser MOU did he sell to the @POTUS? Sounds like he misrepresented it to him!

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

Absolutely disgraceful.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

President Trump: We have a dispute over lebanon with Netanyahu

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

This is what we call reparations, which are “compensation in money or materials payable by a defeated nation [USA] for damages to or expenditures sustained by another nation [IR Iran].”

[Al Arabiya English @AlArabiya_Eng]

A $300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the US-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with direct knowledge of the deal tells Reuters.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Iran:

We must bring down this regime, because we cannot allow the very existence of such a radical regime that seeks our destruction and possesses these kinds of capabilities.

And we will continue to do this in our own way.

Again, we will stand our ground.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

This is a complete surrender by Trump.

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

Multiple loaded Iranian oil tankers have left the port of Chabahar and crossed the US blockade line without being stopped, per AIS data from @MarineTraffic.

The departures come as the US reportedly allows Iranian oil to reenter the global market.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

REPORT: Iran has fired several drones toward commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz since the signing of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU), according to NBC News and The Jerusalem Post.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

“The first and second regimes.” I guess Iran is France now. We have different republics. What an absolute moron.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Reporter: The Iranian regime continues to kill their own people.

Trump: The majority of that took place during the first and second regimes, much more so than now.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

“Broadening authorization to financial transactions would crack the core architecture of U.S. oil and financial sanctions against Iran, arguably the most powerful economic leverage the U.S. holds over this regime, absent the naval blockade.”

[Miad Maleki @miadmaleki]

WSJ reports the Trump-Iran MOU allows Tehran to immediately sell oil, and may waive banking and transport sanctions to facilitate transactions.

If accurate, this is far more alarming than a narrow General License (like the one Treasury issued in March covering only crude already loaded on vessels). But if it's real, the administration is trading away its most durable economic lever before the hard part of the negotiation has even started.

Broadening authorization to financial transactions would crack the core architecture of U.S. oil and financial sanctions against Iran, arguably the most powerful economic leverage the U.S. holds over this regime, absent the naval blockade.

What makes this especially dangerous: if broad relief is offered upfront while negotiations drag on for months, it normalizes Iranian oil flows to China, India, and the UAE, and critically, normalizes the repatriation of Iran's oil revenue back to Tehran. Revenue that today sits trapped in Chinese bank accounts due to secondary financial sanctions.

Once that normalization sets in, re-establishing today's level of leverage would take years, not weeks.

Donald Trump publicly urged Iranians - who were coming out to the streets in response to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s call to protest - to “KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!”

[Clash Report @clashreport]

JD Vance on Iran:

Trump never said that his goal was to install Reza Pahlavi to become the new leader of Iran.

What he said is, if the Iranian people want to rise up, great. That's their business. That's between them and their government.

What we want is a cessation of their nuclear program.

[Michael Oren @DrMichaelOren]

For me, it’s déjà vu because it reminds me of 2015, when President Obama negotiated the JCPOA, the nuclear deal with Iran. Israel was also iced out of that negotiation. The United States did not share the details of those negotiations with Israel at the time, and here it appears to be happening again.

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

He did vote for Obama after all so it makes sense that he adopts his delusional views on Iran’s regime.

[New York Post @nypost]

Vance says Iran won't get $300B reconstruction fund 'unless they totally transform themselves' https://t.co/UrIWE7wwtR

[Peter Kohanloo @PeterKohanloo]

What a silly straw man argument.

[RT @RT_com]

‘They want this to go on until EVERY BOMB has been dropped or until EVERY IRANIAN IS DEAD’ — Vance addresses critics of Iran deal

‘If you look at what they're proposing, they're proposing an endless conflict’

‘That is not what the President of the United States wants’
