Trump’s comments on Iran at the G7 summit were “desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat,” @RadioFreeTom argues in The Atlantic Daily. theatlantic.com/newsletters/…

Public opinion has turned sharply against President Trump, and not without cause. The electorate can be fickle, yet it rarely forgives leaders who project weakness or inconsistency. Trump has maneuvered himself into this position through his own choices. This is the same president who humiliated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House, sarcastically telling him that Ukraine held no cards. The question now writes itself: who is truly without leverage? This is the president who publicly called on the Iranian people to rise up against their regime, only to lose his nerve when commitment was required. The presidency is a lonely office. It has no room for hesitation or political expediency. At root, Trump has failed as president because he has proven incapable of inspiring the American people to pursue any objective worthy of the ideals of freedom—the principle that defines our national character. We stand at a genuine inflection point in history, comparable to the existential challenge of World War II. Once again, adversaries seek to extinguish democracy and liberty. Trump brings to this moment neither a moral compass, nor any sense of history, nor an understanding of the stakes. The same pattern of retreat and weakness has played out in the Persian Gulf. He faced a clear choice other than selling out the Iranian people and accommodating the regime. His economic sanctions were imposing real pressure, though they were never sufficient by themselves. He could have worked with Kurdish forces to weaken the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He could have imposed a full land-and-air blockade. Instead, he chose capitulation, apparently driven by the political calendar. Once a president calls on an oppressed people to revolt, retreat is no longer an option. Trump issued that call and then blinked. This is not strength. It is moral cowardice that emboldens our enemies and betrays those fighting for their freedom. Congress now has a constitutional duty to act before further damage is done.

🚨 BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING 🚨 Following the Iran deal, Cuba and Greenland now want to be attacked by the U.S. as well.

WATCH: "If we are rebuilding Iran and putting them back into a position where we have debilitated them but we’re building them back up again, is that winning the negotiation? ...Iran needs to be in a debilitated state. They can’t win the negotiation." @ChrisRyan603 While the Trump administration prepares to read the dynamic new Swiss memorandum "word by word," a fierce debate is erupting on the Hill over who actually holds the leverage.

The current US administration cares more about the “sensitivities“ in the Arab and Muslim world than they care about the American people

There is this. But don’t read it or comment on it until you get the official ok.

Bret Stephens spot on as usual, on Trump and his Iran debacle. Like me, Bret supported the war to remove the vile and dangerous Islamic Republic regime. But Trump is who he is and what he is, and Iran has exploited his inconsistency and cowardice. nytimes.com/2026/06/16/opini…

پیش از این، جمهوری اسلامی با قطع اینترنت حقیقت را سرکوب می‌کرد؛ اکنون، جی‌دی ونس از مصاحبه با رسانه‌های جریان اصلی برای ترویج یک روایت دروغین استفاده می‌کند. ونس در جریان حضور خود در برنامه مگین کلی، چندین دروغ بزرگ را مطرح کرد. اول اینکه، ما هرگز از ایالات متحده نخواستیم که به نیابت از ما بجنگد. برعکس، ترامپ صراحتاً گفت: «به اعتراضات خود ادامه دهید، کمک در راه است.» با این حال، پرزیدنت ترامپ در نهایت با ترغیب ملت ایران به سکوت، در روند امور مداخله کرد. ترامپ و ژنرال کوپر مکرراً از مردم ایران خواستند که در خانه‌های خود بمانند، یک دستور نظامی که مردم ایران از آن تبعیت کردند. شما صرفاً برای پیشبرد یک دستور کار توهم‌آمیز و دستیابی به توافقی با قاتلان ایران، می‌خواستید ما را ساکت کنید. علاوه بر این، ما از ایالات متحده نخواستند که شاهزاده رضا پهلوی را در ایران منصوب کند. بلکه از شما خواستیم کنار بایستید و به اسرائیل اجازه دهید به مردم معترض ایران (طرفداران شاهزاده) که در حال قتل‌عام بودند، کمک کند. در عوض، شما مانع اسرائیل شدید و از برچیدن ایست‌های بازرسی یا خنثی کردن رهبران فاسد و جنایتکار نظامی و قضایی جمهوری اسلامی توسط آن‌ها جلوگیری کردید. شرم

Previously, the Islamic Republic suppressed the truth by imposing internet blackouts; now, JD Vance utilizes mainstream media interviews to propagate a false narrative. During his appearance with Megyn Kelly, Vance put forward several major falsehoods. • First, we never requested that the United States fight on our behalf. On the contrary, Trump explicitly stated, “Continue your protests, help is on the way.” •Yet, President Trump ultimately interfered by urging the Iranian nation to stay silent. Trump and General Cooper repeatedly called upon the Iranian people to remain at home—a military order the Iranian people complied with. You wanted to silence us simply to move forward with a delusional agenda and secure a deal with Iran’s killers. • Furthermore, we did not request that the United States install Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi in Iran. Rather, we asked you to step aside and allow Israel to help the protesting Iranian people (supporters of the Crown Prince) who were being butchered. Instead, you obstructed Israel, preventing them from dismantling checkpoints or neutralizing the corrupt, criminal military and judicial leadership of the Islamic Republic. Shame on you

Obama's JCPOA gave the regime about $150 billion of Iran's money secondary sanctions lifted. Trump's deal would give the regime about $100 billion of Iran's money $300 billion financed by the Arab States all sanctions lifted

وقتی یک عکس هزاران حرف میزنه. گر چه برای آدم به این پفیوزی حقارت بی معنیست ولی امیدوارم بقیه زندگی نکبتت رو خفت بارتر سپری کنی

Those of you feeling blindsided with Donald Trump's sudden love affair with Arab terrorists in Lebanon should look no further than to his new Lebanese billionaire son in law Michael Boulos, and his new Lebanese billionaire best bud Thomas Barrack. Always follow the money!

RT @MDaneshgar1981: هرگز از یادمان نخواهید رفت!

به نظر میاد مخالفت با تنها آلترناتیو جمهوری اسلامی عامل تعیین کننده ایی بوده برای مسیری که به اینجا داره ختم میشه. اون پیامهایی هم که فعلا در خانه ها بمانید تا ما بهتون بگیم و مسلح کردن کردها هم در همین راستا بود که جلوی عاملیت مردم رو بگیرند!

Watching @TheFive on @FoxNews try to launder Vance’s Iran spin was genuinely insulting. @DanaPerino knows better. She was a White House press secretary. Her first question was real — and then, conveniently, there was no time for the obvious follow-up that mattered. Jesse did not ask a question. He just made up provisions of the agreement that apparently do not exist. Greg Gutfeld helpfully explained that the details of the agreement "are tedious." I mean, who cares about the details of a Jihadi death cult developing nuclear weapons who scream "Death to America?" And when @JessicaTarlov asked one of several key questions — whether Gulf money has already transferred to Iran — Vance flatly misled the audience. This is the Twilight Zone. They are asking us to applaud a deal we cannot read, trust terms they will not publish, and believe surrogates who cannot explain what is actually in it. If it is so great, release the MoU. Vance's explanation that we can't because Qatar and Pakistan don't want us to should make your blood boil.

„Man kann nicht glauben, dass künftig eine der wichtigsten Handelsrouten dieser Welt dauerhaft in der Hand einer Terrororganisation sein sollte.“ @DjirSarai #Iran

If this summary is an accurate account of what Trump said today — and I think it pretty much is — then MAGA should stop throwing around the TDS meme at anybody who criticises him. For it is Trump who has truly become the deranged one! PS Did he really say Qatar was going to invest almost $20 TRILLION in US. Its annual GDP is only $240 billion and its wealth fund totals $600 billion.

Trump’s attempt to make out the Iranian regime now is different from the one in power when he started the war is bonkers. Sure, the US-Israeli attacks killed a good few at the top. But they were all quickly replaced. The only difference is they’re even more hardline than the ones killed.

„Das Trump-Abkommen ist beschämend.“ Bijan @DjirSarai mit einer sehr klaren Einordnung des #Iran-Abkommens bei @WELT TV.

کل این قضیه‌ی پرچم و استادیوم و حضورِ تیم ملا در جام جهانی شبیه اون ماجرای شرکت کردن در نظرسنجیِ پیامکیِ برنامه‌ی فردوسی‌پوره. زمینِ بازیِ ما نیست و حضور درش به هر شکلی اشتباهه. ما ابزار اعمال قدرت روی ارگانی مثل فیفا رو نداریم و هر چقدر تلاش کنیم در نهایت تصویری که مدنظر ماست از استادیوم به بیرون مخابره نمیشه. بهترین کار همون تجمعاتِ بیرون استادیوما یا محل اقامت و تمرین این اراذله. در همه‌ی شهرای میزبان هم جاهایی هست که هواداران تیما جمع میشن و معمولا رسانه‌ها هم حضور دارن. از این موقعیت هم میشه برای اینکه تصاویر کشتارِ جمهوری اسلامی و صدای مردم ایران رو در چشمِ رسانه‌ها فرو کرد استفاده کرد.
