Donald Trump Won the Iran War​

The maximalists wanted regime change, the minimalists wanted nothing, and the doubters see only waffling. Carafano’s answer: the victor gets to define victory — and everywhere you look, the region is moving Trump’s way.


By James Jay Carafano

Iran War Turns into Trump Middle East Triumph: We are about to see the biggest reshaping of the Middle East since Moses led the Jews out of Egypt.

Like the pharaoh, who missed every warning sign up to the parting of the Red Sea, the critics and questioners of Trump’s tug-of-war with what’s left of the Iran regime seem obtuse to the prophetic truth that the region will never be the same again—in a good way.

Donald Trump Won the Iran War

From Hamas disarming to $60 billion in Iraq deals to a Saudi-led Red Sea coalition, a veteran national security expert argues the receipts are in — Trump's Iran strategy is delivering a remade Middle East.

Why the Middle East War Was Actually Part of the Plan​

This week, the pundits see chaos — but the war in the Middle East was part of the plan all along. Tehran's fighters aren't getting paid, Hamas agreed to disarm, and the decisive weapon wasn't a bomb — it was the U.S. Treasury. Barbara Boyd connects the fronts: the financial war that broke Iran's proxy networks runs through the empire's own offshore machine, and dismantling it is step one of rebuilding America. Now Bessent is moving further — Japan, the bond markets, and the unwinding of the old financial system toward a New Bretton Woods.

Then, the blueprint goes public. The White House just released the Kratsios report, "Science: A New Golden Age" — the first top-to-bottom overhaul of American science in more than 80 years, commissioned by President Trump. Barbara goes in-depth: the productive powers of labor, the Genesis Mission, and the deliberate callback to FDR and the science drive that won World War II. This is the American System revival, in writing.

And Susan Kokinda breaks down Michigan's primary results — especially the Democrat side, where the party's media wing stands ready to anoint a "new Obama." What the results actually mean for the midterm map, three months out.
 
  • The Trump administration projected confidence this week that the U.S. could soon strike a deal with Iran, driving down oil prices and sending stocks soaring. But no agreement was announced by the day it was promised.
  • Markets have repeatedly reacted to similar claims from President Donald Trump on hopes that a breakthrough is near.
  • Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent both said this week that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be expected in days.

Trump teased an Iran deal that didn't come, but markets soared. Here’s why it keeps happening

As oil reserves and munitions stockpiles reportedly dwindle, analysts wonder how much longer markets will pounce when the Trump admin. dangles an Iran deal.

Iran Used a $1,500 Mine Designed in 1908 to Do $90 Million in Damage to a US Navy Warship and Nearly Sank Her

The USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58) was one of the final ships in the United States Navy’s Oliver Hazard Perry-class of guided-missile frigates (FFG). She was commissioned in 1986, but just two years later, the ship was severely damaged by an Iranian M-08 contact naval mine in 1988, leading U.S...

^^^ Your respect for Iran and distain for the USA is duly noted.
 
***I can't speak as to the veracity of this but from what I'm hearing it seems that Iran and Oman may be the ones setting up deal as to the SOH. If that's true, what will we do? Stay there or leave?

Trump's Claim About the Obama Nuclear Deal and Iran's Nuclear Development - FactCheck.org

President Donald Trump has claimed that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was "a road to a nuclear weapon" and the country "would be sitting with a massive nuclear weapon three years ago" if he hadn't withdrawn the U.S. from the deal in 2018 during his first term. The multilateral deal aimed to...

I wonder if the real problem T had with JCPOA was Obama's signature?
 
Just a little food for thought, nothing more. As usual, take it fwiw, dyodd & make of it what you will.

 
Amazing, Iran bankrupts America instead of the bankers...
 
Do the ordinary Iran residents approve of all this destruction and piracy?
Can they somehow remove themselves from the crime and declare themselves as unwilling participants?

I completely reject collective punishment. The government of Iran may be fragmented, and I can't judge every action as the will of the Iranian people. But the Iranian military should be shut down. If that is not possible, their military must be killed. I hope that will not be needed, but a cessation is necessary.

I do not accept the Shah's reign in Iran. He was not a legitimate ruler, and his overthrow and death was welcome to history. The Ayatollah was even worse. And his followers were the most despicable.

I pity the country that has to live under a despicable government. I can not blame their residents for the crimes their governments commit. Well, maybe a little.
