Trump Announces Historic Iran Peace Deal as Strait of Hormuz Reopens

By Ben Whedon | Just the News The terms of the agreement were unavailable as of Sunday night, but a top Pakistan mediator said both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of all military operations. President Donald Trump has unveiled a deal to end 47 years of hostilities with Iran, bringing months of U.S.military operations to an end and opening the Strait of Hormuz in a one-two punch certain to ease oil prices ahead of the midterm elections. "Let the oil flow!” Trump declared Sunday on social media after completing the deal on his 80th birthday and the day the U.S. began its 250th anniversary celebration with an historic UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts fight on the White House South Lawn. A signed ceremony was set for Friday in Switzerland. ...

Four GOP Lawmakers Join Democrats as House Passes Iran War Powers Resolution

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal Four House Republicans sided with Democrats in a vote to halt military operations in the Middle East without further congressional approval. The vote for the resolution was 215 in favor and 208 against. The vote was described on the House website as “Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.” Not surprisingly, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was one of the four Republicans to join with Democrats, along with Reps. Tom Barrett of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Warren Davidson of Ohio. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2062284377992675802?s=20 READ THE FULL ART...

Investigative Report Raises Questions About Soros Influence In Biden Administration

By DataRepublican | Commentary, DataRepublican Substack On January 30, 2017 — ten days into the Trump presidency — Rosa Brooks published an article in Foreign Policy titled “3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020.” She outlined four scenarios for removing the new president from office: impeachment, the 25th Amendment, cabinet revolt, and a military coup. Of the last option, Brooks wrote that it was “a possibility that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America.” Brooks was a former Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy at the Pentagon, where she reported to Michele Flournoy from 2009 to 2011. Before that, she served as Special Counsel to the President at the Open Soci...

Trump Warns Iran As US Escorts Ships Through The Strait of Hormuz

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News The operation involves guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 aircraft and roughly 15,000 service members. The U.S. operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is unfolding under fire, with American forces intercepting Iranian missiles and drones and destroying attack boats targeting commercial shipping as they begin moving vessels through one of the world’s most critical waterways. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited the strait under the effort, dubbed "Project Freedom," even as Iranian officials rejected the claim as "baseless" and warned that any foreign military presence would be attacked. President Donald Trump warned that any Iranian strike on U.S. vessel...

Iran Threatens Escalation Ahead of Ceasefire Expiration

By Robert McGreevy | Fox News Iran ceasefire expires Tuesday as Vance heads to Pakistan for a second round of negotiations. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened to "reveal new cards on the battlefield" in a Monday evening social media post just days before the agreed ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire. "Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table — in his own imagination — into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering," Ghalibaf wrote on X. "We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," he concluded. Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegat...

U.S. Blockade Could Break Iran If Washington Holds The Line

By Helen Raleigh | Commentary, The Federalist The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a significant escalation that carries considerable risks and rewards. This week, the United States imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The action marks a significant escalation following the collapse of peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. While the move carries considerable risks, it also offers substantial potential rewards. The Strait of Hormuz, with Iran controlling its northern shore, has long been one of the world’s most critical energy arteries. Before the war, roughly 20 percent of global seaborne oil trade and significant volumes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) passed through its narrow waters. Sin...

From imminent threat to no threat: Why the Iran narrative suddenly changed

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Not long ago, Iran was described as an imminent threat. Now we are told it wasn’t a threat at all. What changed? Not the facts. The politics. That shift is playing out in real time as the narrative around the Iran war evolves. A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that a majority of likely U.S. voters believe the conflict has been successful so far. Under normal circumstances, that would invite a sober reassessment. Instead, it has produced something closer to denial. From the beginning, critics warned that confronting Iran would spark chaos across the Middle East, destabilize global markets, and drag the United States into another endless quagmire. Many insisted there was no urgent threat requiring acti...

3,000 Troops from 82nd Airborne May Head to Middle East

By Joshua Klein | Breitbart The Pentagon is expected to order roughly 3,000 troops from the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East “in the coming hours,” according to a Wall Street Journal report outlining an imminent deployment of a rapid-response brigade combat team to support operations against Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing two U.S. officials, that a written deployment order is expected shortly for the unit, along with the division’s headquarters element responsible for planning and coordination. The move would mark a significant expansion of U.S. force posture in the region, positioning a high-readiness ground force capable of executing a range of missions if directed. The 82nd Airborne serves as the ...

Trump Strike On Iran Exposes Deep Divide Inside Foreign Policy Establishment

By Jennica Pounds | Commentary, The American Mind Operation Epic Fury and the collapse of the multilateral myth. t first glance, it seems that the Western establishment should welcome Operation Epic Fury. As Joshua Lisec and I document in our upcoming book, Unelected, the entire post-World War II order has been built on the premise that global security depends on the spread of democracy (or the downfall of tyrants at the very least). As United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a 2001 speech, there is “a need for more democracy on the global level, which is what the United Nations has been about from the very beginning.” The global order is no fan of Iran. Atlantic writer and former National Endowment for Democracy board member Anne Appl...
