Here's a bit more on the phone call.
Donald Trump reportedly called Benjamin Netanyahu 'f***ing crazy' on a phone call just before the President announced a halt to fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
The President announced on Truth Social that the Israeli prime minister 'turned his troops around' instead of conducting a 'major raid' on Lebanon Monday.
He added that both the Israeli military and Hezbollah-aligned militia groups agreed to 'stop shooting' at one another.
However, Trump issued a note of hopeful skepticism: 'Let's see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!'

The Toll Booth at the Throat of World Trade
In late February 2026, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to foreign shipping. What began as a chaotic wartime closure has, in the past few days, hardened
Kind of hard to take the knowledge of how to make one, away.
There's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. The bell cannot be un-rung.
Most of the nation-states that do not have a nuclear weapon now, outside of NATO, lack the technological infrastructure and in some cases, have populations with mean IQ scores so low they're unlikely ever to obtain one on their own.

NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio says it PERFECTLY"If Iran is going to shut down the straits for everybody, WE are going to shut down the straits for THEM!"
"The cost to Iran every single DAY in lost revenue is in the hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars that they are losing in lost revenue, that they're not generating as a result of that."
"For the first time in my memory, Iran has agreed to negotiate aspects of their NUCLEAR program that just a month ago, a YEAR ago, they were refusing to even MENTION in their discussions."
And yet we must, no Muslim state will ever give up until Mutually Assured Destruction is achieved. As for I.Q., those guys invented algebra and the numerical system we still use today....

Sorry to burst your bubble but those came into being before the illiterate pedophile was born. By a century or more. Just as all dogs aren't poodles neither are all Arabs Moslem.
How do we know iran does not have nukes? They have not used them.
Same people...
A dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device (RDD), combines conventional explosives (like dynamite) with radioactive material (such as powders or pellets). Its primary purpose is to scatter radiation over a limited area to cause mass panic and economic disruption. It is not a nuclear bomb and cannot create an atomic explosion.
I am sure the Iranians can build these as a revenge missile if need be.

There's a wide disparity between the IQ mean of the Persian peoples, and those of the Semitic Arabs.
My own guess is, it factors how long they've had to live under Islam, and under what nature and variety.
A world which punishes learning, which keeps the intellectually rigid, almost-retarded mullah class in charge, and where ambition is punished, and social mobility almost nil; where SEX is the only release...sex with unwilling mates, sex with children, sex with animals...such a world is going to see greater reproductive success in low-IQ types.
It will take centuries to bring the mean IQ values down. Persia had been less under the iron fist of Islam, in my understanding, than had the Arab regions.
And that's also why, now, two generations past the Shah's overthrow, I'd actually trust the Iranians more than I would our own Political Elites.

No doubt they can cause mayhem.
I'm not at all sure the Iranians even want to.
They've got a neat little racket there, pumping oil for the Infidels. All they had to do was keep it flowing, and leave their mouth-foaming hatred for the Grate Satan, off the video feeds. The Petrodollar is not an ideal Reserve Currency, and it does finance a lot of evil, but life, post-Shah, had been good for Iran, once things settled down.
No, I'm sure it wasn't a lot of fun for the average Iranian. Islam is not a fun way of life. But they've found a stasis; and the nation was making bank.
Political terrorism is for malcontents and megalomaniacs who want to USE them to elevate themselves beyond their proper station. Like Lenin; like Mao; like Castro; like Chavez. Like Billy Ayers. Like Barry Hussein Dunham.
