Even with a deal in place, we should expect this regime to revert to form, funneling resources to proxies across the region. Sanctions relief cannot mean walking away. The credible threat of military force has to remain on the table. Watch here:

Any agreement needs anytime, anywhere IAEA inspections to give us the verification the JCPOA lacked.

I joined Fox News Live to discuss the emerging Iran framework. The reported terms suggest a shift from compelling Iran through the threat of force to inducing them with sanctions relief in exchange for handing over their highly enriched uranium. 🧵

Think a quick raid can solve the nuclear crisis in Iran? @michaelallenJMA joins FOX News' @AlexHoganTV on the FOX News Rundown to detail the massive, dangerous reality of trying to secure and extract nuclear material from deep within hostile territory.

Is time actually on America's side in a conflict with Iran? Former White House insider @michaelallenJMA joins @AlexHoganTV on the FOX News Rundown to explain why the economic pain of a shipping blockade might backfire on democratic nations far sooner than it stops an authoritarian regime.

I joined @NewsNation to discuss the federal indictment of Cuban officials and the administration's effort to assert pressure in our hemisphere. With oil cut off from Venezuela and the CIA director's recent visit, this is part of a broader push to restore U.S. influence close to home. Watch ⬇️

Tariffs were not discussed. Fentanyl came up.

Did you consult with China on Taiwan arms sales? We discussed it, "in great detail actually." I'll be making a decision . . . the last thing we need is a war 9500 miles away. Won't say if he would defend Taiwan, says XJP asked him that question, and Trump replied, "I don't talk about that." President is only one who knows if he would do it.

Trump's Gaggle returning from China - 🧵 Rough approximation - Trump looked at the Iran offer and threw it away after reading the first sentence, didn't like it. Apparently it needed to be explicit on not seeking a nuclear weapon.

I joined @NewsCentralCNN to discuss China's role in the Iran standoff. Beijing won't stick its neck out for us but may pressure Tehran toward meaningful compromises. Without credible leverage, including military options and a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, we won't get to a deal.

I joined @FoxNews @AmericasNewsroom to discuss Iran's response to the latest U.S. proposal. The President is right to keep the use of military force on the table. Without hard power behind the diplomacy, we won't get a real deal.
