I fully agree. After all under the Trump doctrine each nation state must put its national security interest first. That applies to Israel no less than the US. President Trump especially when it comes to Iran.
If the Iranian regime strikes Israel again, I sure hope we won’t be told not to defend ourselves or to retaliate.
And if we’re told, I hope we will do what’s right for Israel.
When you’re attacked, you defend yourself. Plain and simple.

IRAN—ISRAEL—BEIRUT—RETALIATION?
Just as I am about to fly to Europe on a professional matter, there is great speculation about retaliation from Iran. But nobody is particularly worried and so neither am I.
IMO Israel did the right thing by hitting Dahiyyeh/Beirut in response to continued Hezbollah attacks on our northern settlements and our soldiers. The IDF must continue its ground operation around Nabatiyyeh to protect the Upper Galilee.

IRAN—ENRICHED URANIUM STOCKPILE
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — the authoritative source — as of 13 June 2025 (just before/around the time of the US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear sites):
• Iran possessed 440.9 kg of uranium enriched up to 60% U-235 (highly enriched uranium, or HEU). This figure is frequently rounded to ~440–450 kg in media and official commentary.
This is part of a much larger total enriched uranium stockpile (nearly 10,000 kg overall), but the 60% material is the most proliferation-sensitive portion.
Form: It exists primarily as uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas inside specialized heavy industrial cylinders/canisters (typically ~50 kg when full). It is not loose powder or literal dust (unlike yellowcake, which is U₃O₈ powder sometimes loosely described that way).
Here is what typical UF6 storage cylinders look like:

ISRAEL—USA—IRAN MOU—BARDUGO
Yaakov Bardugo, a confidant of PM Netanyahu. criticizes President Trump administration officials:
“If the reports are accurate and an agreement is indeed signed, this represents the bankruptcy of the Trump administration officials at the expense of the entire Western world. Trump’s legacy will be severely tarnished, and he will have to provide explanations — mainly to Obama. This only proves that Israel must stand firm and achieve full independence in the security and military spheres.”
Me: I think Bardugo is overreacting. President Trump is doing a commendable job directing the negotiations with the fanatical regime in Tehran while navigating the stormy waters of American politics (in advance of the Midterm Elections), the U.S. economy, global markets, China, anti-fraud in federal programs and a myriad of other domestic and foreign policy issues. I agree with Bardugo that ISRAEL MUST STAND FIRM AND DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT ITS NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS.

The devil is in the details. My guess is that any document that can be signed on Sunday cannot possibly address those critical details, meaning that the heavy lifting will be postponed further. As long as the US does not lift sanctions, loosen the blockade, or transfer/unfreeze funds pending the details being worked out, there’s no material harm, provided that the MOU does not call for a ceasefire in Lebanon that permits Hezbollah to fire at Israel or rearm during any pause in fighting (which seems all but impossible).

Despite all the optimism from the WH I remain skeptical about (1) whether something will actually be signed on Sunday or any other day; (2) whether the anything signed will be anything more than a non-binding MOU (I.e. an agreement to agree; and (3) whether the principles of any MOU will be consistent with articulated (a) American national security and economic interests; and (b) Israel’s national security interests.

It always amazes me how quickly people here in Israel and elsewhere forget what President Trump and his Administration have accomplished. They have altered the geopolitics of the world: Middle East, Far East, Latin America and Europe. They have bolstered the prowess and power of the United States. They are the first Administration in 47 years to do something about the Iranian fanatics and their Chinese backers. The capital markets are achieving all time records, the price of oil is falling. Sure there are risks, but I’m betting on President Trump and PM Netanyahu. They both are realists and know who the enemy is. The Americans in particular have the leverage and the options. President Trump is managing the situation expertly. As we enter the Sabbath here in the Holy Land, I am thankful for all the blessings we have been given and for our friends in Washington, Latin America, South Asia and the millions of humanity who believe in freedom and prosperity.

Don’t be deceived. President Trump knows precisely who he’s negotiating with. The Iranians will get zip unless they produce the goods. Until and less that happens it’s all talk. Meanwhile, the blockade remains, the sanctions remain, the military assets remain and the pressure remains. If the fanatics attack US forces or commercial shipping, the US will respond as it did this week and as Israel is doing in Lebanon against Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Iran: 1,500 international agreements signed. Violated: 1,347.
U.S.–Iran deals since the 1950s: about 4.
Successful ones: ZERO.
Trump trusting Tehran is like lending your car to someone who keeps returning it without the wheels.Iran signs agreements the way some people sign up for gym memberships: enthusiastically, then never show up again.

Remember you are talking about a Memorandum of Understanding, not a binding agreement. President Trump knows exactly with whom he is negotiating. The Iranian regime will get nothing tangible unless it delivers tangible concessions. President Trump has the leverage and the will to use it.
The ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran will include an end to fighting in Lebanon, as well as the initial unfreezing of 12 billion dollars in funds for Iran, the Iranian state media site Mehr reported.

And we are extremely proud of Slovenia now that it has a new, sane government.

Not only that, but she also raised her child, Barron Trump, in Slovenian culture and taught him to speak Slovenian.
Oh, and thanks for pointing this out. We are extremely proud of her in Slovenia!

This 👇is a very perceptive assessment of the latest developments in the US-IRAN conflict. I have been making similar observations about President Trump’s out-of-the-box manoeuvring, including in a speech I delivered yesterday at a meeting of European conservatives in Milan, Italy.
If there’s only one thing I want you to remember as someone who actually grew up in Iran, it’s this:
A bully only backs down when he faces a bigger bully.
Trump’s approach is messy, unconventional, and disruptive, but that’s exactly why it has a real chance of working. Because the regime itself is messy, unconventional, and disruptive.
This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical.
Anyone who tries to act diplomatic or “proper” with them has already lost. For the mullahs, diplomacy has always just been a fancy word for lying, deceiving, and hiding their true intentions.
Now they’ve run into someone their old tricks don’t work on. Someone who flips the table whenever he feels like it, who doesn’t care about diplomatic etiquette, and who is completely unpredictable to them.
They can’t outsmart him like they used to. Messing with the lion’s tail this time could cost them dearly, because unlike Obama, Trump actually has his finger on the trigger, and unlike @netanyahu , nothing is holding him back.
Another reason his style seems so chaotic is that the global system and other powers have long benefited from keeping the status quo, a corrupt system that quietly protected the regime. Trump is breaking that old order apart.
For Trump, this whole negotiation and deal-making process is basically a soft war. It’s a deliberate strategy to gradually disarm and weaken the regime piece by piece, at minimum cost.
Even if a deal is reached, he won’t stop, He’ll continue until the regime is so eroded and weak that the Iranian people finally have a fair chance to confront and defeat it themselves.
It won’t happen overnight, but if you look at the direction things are going, the trend is clear.
President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not performing for us. He’s taking massive risks with his political capital.
It’s a big gamble, yes, but it doesn’t mean it won’t work. And if one person can actually pull Iran out of this cancer, it’s him. No one else. Trust the man, trust the process.
