The President should be very confident in his position. Blockade is up. Oil is down. The squeeze is on. The question is whether we repeat the mistakes of the MOU or deny the IRGC relief until we achieve all objectives.

Pickaxe Mountain was always the nuclear breakout facility the IRGC wanted. We need a military solution for it.

The President needs to sit atop the negotiations with confidence in the blockade and a possible return to Project Freedom, seeing the forest for the trees. We can’t move from nuclear extortion to Hormuz extortion. And we won’t get all the uranium if we relieve pressure upfront.

Are we already providing financial relief to Iran before we get all the nuclear concessions? The honest answer is yes, unless that wasn’t the President’s intent and he tells Secretary Bessent to revise General License X to require escrow accounts.

$The fracture inside the regime is real and accelerating. Next time the regime opens fire, maybe start by taking out the IRGC toll booth on Larak Island.$

The regime in Tehran is obliterating President Trump’s red line. This is a transformational moment of choosing made for a transformational president like Donald Trump. More from my interview with the Great One ⁦Mark R. Levin⁩.

Protests in Iran continue. Executions are happening in secret. President Trump’s options are expanding with his change in force posture. Millions are poised to come back to the streets when the conditions allow.

The blockade plus Project Freedom remains the checkmate move on Iran. Following the Qataris or Omanis down negotiation rabbit holes of dressed up sanctions relief and sleights of hand on enriched uranium. This is the Trump presidency, not Obama or Biden.

Strong message delivered to Iran from ⁦Morgan Ortagus⁩ at UN Security Council today. “Direct and meaningful dialogue” offered to Iran. No enrichment inside Iran remains U.S. core principle. “Step away from the fire, sir, and take President Trump’s hand in diplomacy.”

My view: We shouldn’t confuse Desperate for Delcy. President Trump has the upper hand to get major wins out of the regime in Tehran. But these are terrorists, not just thugs. There’s a difference for how we think about deals, sequencing and strategy.

Death to America isn’t a slogan, it’s a policy. We are dealing with a terrorist group running a country. Fundamental and comprehensive change is the minimum we should demand. Watch part of the discussion with Mark R. Levin⁩.

What should the President be demanding when it comes to Iran’s nuclear program? It’s more than just the 60% stockpile.

Full accounting, all the uranium, complete dismantlement. That’s what it should mean to swear off nuclear weapons. We are still dealing with a terrorist group the IRGC. Strong skepticism warranted for these talks combined with optimism over what has already been accomplished.

People need to understand just how complicit the United Nations is with Hamas in everything bad going on in Gaza. People need to know that Cindy McCain still leads a U.S. taxpayer funded UN agency while trying to sabotage the U.S. taxpayer funded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation⁩.

Here’s what’s at stake for our national security in Iran. The Islamic Republic directly threatens America every day. Its collapse will save American lives and deal another blow to China and Russia.
