President Trump has flipped the script on the IRGC. He’s squeezing the life out of the regime. Now we need to use many more tools - with our allies - to provide maximum support to the people. Here are a few.

Hormuz is a diminishing asset for Tehran. The trajectory is American victory and a century of American energy dominance.

It’s presidential panic inside Iran. Now comes Economic D-Day. The people running the ship know the ship is sinking. The IRGC leaders may want to go down with the ship. President Trump can certainly arrange for that.

Here’s what the President means when he says we have control over the Strait of Hormuz. And why the oil flow coming out is bigger than analysts claim.

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.

We are working with allies to squeeze the IRGC regional tentacles while simultaneously squeezing the head of the octopus. The historic moment in front of us begs two questions. If not now, when? If not Donald Trump, who?

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.

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 President is closer to checkmate on the regime than media coverage lets on. Blockade + Project Freedom + Hormuz Alternatives = Checkmate. Has been all along. It’s why they start dealmaking every time we get closer.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
