Watch my latest on @GBNEWS The Iran Agreement: The central questions remain: Who will verify Iranian compliance? And will President Trump have the resolve to enforce the agreement when, not if, Iran attempts to cheat? youtube.com/watch?v=Y-dawSYI…

IS THIS IS A PEACE DEAL? Great commentary from Dr. Eric Mandel (@MepinOrg). He says calling the U.S.–Iran MOU a “peace agreement” shows a basic misunderstanding of both the deal and the regime. Tehran is betting Trump will not go back to war, especially before the midterms. That is how Iran gains leverage while being militarily weaker than at any point since the Iran-Iraq War.

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks. It's dozens now. Maybe more. But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media. Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases. No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.
🧵FAKE Gaza Journalist Alert: Helmi Al-Faqawi is listed by @pressfreedom as a journalist killed by the IDF at a "reporter's tent" at Nasser Hospital. But PIJ confirmed he was a commander—he used the hospital as a base. The 14th fake journalist outed in the last few weeks. 1/

I’m pretty sure the Iranian people in general feel betrayed by the US for this looming deal with their oppressors. They’re not alone: Israelis, Emiratis , Lebanese and Bahrainis, to name a few, probably share the sentiment. Not a good look for the leader of the free world.

A post-Islamic Republic Iran could create a more pro-American Middle East and become the defining achievement of President Trump's foreign-policy legacy. It begins with retaking control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Replying to @SohrabAhmari
Sohrab, come on. They face the real thing now. Tucker, the vice president's friend and ally, thinks we brought pornography to America to destroy American society. And Mamdani on the other side of the aisle thinks the tiny little NYPD exchange program with the Israel Police "laced the boots" of racist NYC cops. When Jews are the cause of all the ills, when it's all anyone can talk about -- that's the thing itself. No, JD Vance isn't an antisemite. But a Jew who sees antisemitism looking at them from the corners of every dark room isn't imagining it. There are polling numbers. It's waves upon waves online that hit every visibly Jewish user of almost any platform every single day. It's millions of people now, and higher among the young as they radicalize online. It includes some of the biggest podcasters alive. And offline too, Jews are the number one target of religious hate crimes in America. Every synagogue in America has guards outside now. So to tell Jews "you'll soon face the real thing" if they commit the crime of seeing it around them already -- i.e., they're causing it -- is not a decent position to take.

¹ Thanks to the work of @bandlersbanter, @AshleyRindsberg, @EllaTravelsLove and @shlomitlir, there's growing awareness of coordinated ideological takeover of Wikipedia's Israel/Palestine coverage after Oct. 7 So I decided to measure its extent and the results are extraordinary🧵

I had the honor of receiving this beautiful award at the CITYarts Gala in New York City last week, for my lifelong pursuit of peace and liberal democracy in the Middle East. 🏆 The award was offered by my dear friend, Daniel Pincus, who is also an avid fighter in the struggle to make our world a better place. 🇺🇸 What makes it even more special is that it happened on the 250th anniversary of the United States, and the theme of the Gala was "250 years of the American Dream." 🙏 I am deeply touched and sincerely grateful to CITYarts for shining a spotlight on my work and granting me this honor. 🖌️👩‍🎨 I am also grateful to Kirsten Ann Blackburn, the talented artist who designed my brick award with such care and love, which perfectly reflects the intersection of Egypt, Israel, and the United States in my identity, worldview, and work.

🕊️ After meeting with Turkey's intelligence director, Hamas refused to come to Egypt and join a meeting organized by the Egyptian intelligence for several factions in Gaza. 🇪🇬🇹🇷 That is not only Hamas being Hamas (devious, evil, and manipulative) but also an indication of vision divergence between the guarantors of the Gaza Peace Plan, namely Turkey and Egypt. 🪖🇮🇷 It is also Hamas' golden opportunity right now to manipulate to survive, rearm, and regroup, while all eyes are on Iran. 📺 Watch my full analysis of this situation and more at my interview with @_BiancaZanini on @i24NEWS_EN today:
