“Donald Trump has demonstrated pretty conclusively that without NUCLEAR WEAPONS, it’s hard for Iran to defend themselves.” —Doug Bandow, Former Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan ‘The danger, of course, is we’ve got a new leadership that’s more angry, more antagonistic, probably more nationalistic, and they have a much...

#WATCH | On being asked about the West Asia conflict and where the Islamabad MoU stands right now, Senior Journalist, Political Commentator & Author, Fareed Zakaria says, "It's completely dead. It was predictable that it would be dead... Iran has figured out it has a usable nuclear weapon that can be used as leverage, which is control over the Strait of Hormuz...What we are trying to solve now is a problem created by the war itself, and even that has not been solved. In my opinion, the whole thing is a very humiliating defeat for the United States" "It's completely dead. And it was predictable that it would be dead because it is a memorandum of misunderstanding...Iran has figured out it has a usable nuclear weapon, in other words, a weapon that is actually more powerful because it can be used as leverage. That leverage is control over the Strait of Hormuz, and they want to assert that power...To give you an understanding of how poorly this war has gone for the United States, remember President Trump's original goal, which was to destroy the Iranian regime, have the people of Iran launch an uprising, and bring democracy to Iran. That didn't work. The goal number two became the nuclear issue...The desire to get the Iranians to hand over their enriched uranium, swear that they would never use it again, and permanently end the program none of that has happened. The third goal then became control of the Strait of Hormuz, which, of course, was open before the war. What we are trying to solve now is a problem created by the war itself, and even that has not been solved. In my opinion, the whole thing is a very humiliating defeat for the United States" Watch full interview here:

A smug MSNBC contributor thought she had a gotcha on Byron Donalds when she said Trump never explained why we went to war with Iran and the strait was open before the conflict. Then Bill Maher cut her off and said she had such a “DUMB talking point.” BYRON DONALDS: “The regime is psychotic. It’s been that way for 47 years. And then they get a nuke?” MOLLY JONG-FAST: “Well, my question is: the strait was open. Wasn’t the strait open?” DONALDS: “Yes. The strait has always been the leverage point of the Iranians. Yes or no?” JONG-FAST: “But the strait was open before Donald Trump went to war with Iran, never explaining to us why.” BILL MAHER: “He did. He did explain. Please. He did explain. He did explain early on. They can’t have a nuclear weapon. It’s such a dumb talking point. Of course they explained why.” JONG-FAST: “Okay, so why?” MAHER: “To stop them from getting nuclear weapons! And also, they were a terrible actor in the Middle East. There was no way there was ever going to be peace in that part of the world as long as Iran was funding—” JONG-FAST: “But we knew it was an unwinnable war. It’s a humongous crime.” MAHER: “Well, we did not know that. What they did was they f*cked up the timing, Byron. They should have attacked when the people were in the streets during the uprising. They waited till they got shot and then they attacked three months later. So... he has a good idea, and then the execution is f*cked up.” On February 28, the night Trump announced “major combat operations” in Iran, he said: “It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular, my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I’ll say it again. They can never have a nuclear weapon.”

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: 'Iran's ULTIMATE LEVERAGE is its nuclear programme, any ground campaign by Trump to destroy it would be DISASTROUS.' 'The reason Iran has strategic headway over anything Donald Trump does is twofold. Ultimately, it’s the nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz. The Omani foreign minister categorically stated that the real problem in the region is Israel, not Iran. I think he’s right. Oman holds a key to the continued control of the Strait of Hormuz, such as it is. And that is their channel, and we are trying to strong-arm Oman into letting us use exclusively that channel, the one Oman has closest to its territory, and thereby negating a lot of Iran’s leeway with regard to the Strait of Hormuz. But the ultimate leeway, the ultimate instrument here is what you just suggested, their nuclear programme. And what’s laughable about that, and sad about it, is that that’s what Donald Trump started out on, and that’s what Donald Trump said was his principal focus. Well, he’s lost complete focus on that now, unless he’s planning on putting land forces on the ground and scouring up their nuclear programme as best he can, and that would be disastrous. I don’t see any way he’s going to affect that. So Iran remains in the catbird seat, and they have Russia and China on their side too, and I think China is ultimately on their side, which means they have the number one economy in the world on their side.' —Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff at the US State Department Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇
