@RodDMartin Very expensive targets. With modern hypersonic missiles carriers can easily be disabled and then sunk. We don't need them to defend America.

🧵On paper, America has 11 aircraft carriers.
Trump has used American naval power more effectively in recent months than we’ve seen in decades.
But these successes reveal a deeper problem.
America needs 16 carriers — not 11. Here's why, and how.🧵

Trump just turned the Abraham Accords into an accountability trap for the Gulf states and Iran walked right into it.
Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey have never held Iran accountable is due to exposure. They share a neighborhood. They can't sanction, shame, or confront Iran while having zero security architecture binding them to the West or to each other.
The Abraham Accords change that math entirely. Once Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are signatories, they aren't just recognizing Israel they are locking themselves into a collective security posture.
A breach of the Iran deal becomes their problem to call out, not just America's or Israel's. You can't sign a normalization framework and then look the other way when your new partner Israel is threatened by a nuclear Iran. The accords create skin in the game.
If Iran violates the deal, the Gulf states aren't just silent bystanders anymore. They're co-signatories of the broader peace architecture. The political cost of looking away just went from zero to enormous.
That's why markets are surging and oil is dropping. The world is pricing in something it hasn't seen in decades, a Middle East where the neighbors themselves have a structural reason to enforce the peace.
Genius.

TRUMP JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF COUNTRIES REQUIRED TO JOIN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AS THE PRICE OF ANY IRAN PEACE DEAL
Not a suggestion. Not a request. MANDATORY. SIMULTANEOUS. NAMED NATIONS. Country by country.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia → sign Abraham Accords → normalize with Israel → or Iran deal collapses
🇶🇦 Qatar → sign Abraham Accords → the country hosting US Central Command headquarters
🇵🇰 Pakistan → sign Abraham Accords → a nuclear power with 240 million Muslims
🇹🇷 Türkiye → sign Abraham Accords → NATO ally whose president called Israel a "terrorist state"
🇪🇬 Egypt → sign Abraham Accords → 100 million people, spiritual capital of the Arab world
🇯🇴 Jordan → sign Abraham Accords → already has a peace treaty, but this demands public normalization
🇦🇪 UAE → already a Member → required to anchor the new expanded coalition
🇧🇭 Bahrain → already a Member → required to stand alongside every new signatory
🇮🇷 Iran → offered an "Honor" to join → meaning: recognize Israel or stay at war
💀 9 named nations
💀 1 condition: all sign simultaneously or the deal dies
💀 ZERO exceptions — Trump's words: "mandatory"
💀 $11,300,000,000,000 in market cap added since March 30 bottom — that's what peace is worth
Every nation on this list has official state policy refusing recognition of Israel. Some for decades. Some since 1948.
Trump's post is live. The calls to leaders have already happened. The list is published.
These are the signatures required. Right now.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@joekent16jan19 Not a word about Palestine, the true entity in the Levant. You mention Gaza, but that is only part of the country Palestine. You need to think things thru a bit more carefully. No deal without Palestine full restoration to pre-1967 borders.
English
I certainly hope that President Trump can seal this deal, it would be historic.
That said, it will be nearly impossible for many of the countries to make a peace deal with Israel because of Gaza. It will also be nearly impossible for Israel to accept an end to the war w/ the current Iranian gov in power.
We don’t need a deal to just leave, playing referee in these disputes has gotten us nothing but death & debt.
Pull our troops out, negotiate pragmatic deals individually with Middle East nations, including Iran, as needed.
The American people don’t benefit from the empire we are trying to preserve.

@GenFlynn @realDonaldTrump You might want to issue some apologies for the 53 coup, aiding the Iraq Iran war, shooting down a civilian airliner, arming anarchists in and around Tehran, and attacking Iran twice.
English
Dear Mr. @realDonaldTrump
The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.
How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.
And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.
Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.
No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?
Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.
Now may be that time.

Moscow knows now it cannot defeat Ukraine. Putin is losing his grip on the Donbas and the road to Crimea. Ukraine increasingly controls the Black Sea. A generation of conscripts has been wiped out. Putin has made proud Russia, a punk country.

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following:
-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.
-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.
-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.
-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.
-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.
-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.
Deal should have 2 phases:
Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.
Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.
Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.
“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.
SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.
Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.
If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.
“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

President Trump just delivered another historic win for America and the world!
After showing unmatched strength against Iran, he’s now secured a major deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, stabilize energy markets, and prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. This is peace through strength in action without endless wars or weak concessions. Smart, tough leadership gets results. America First diplomacy at its finest. Thank you, Mr. President!

The leading candidate to replace Tulsi Gabbard as the new Director of National Intelligence is Elise Stefanik!
I think this is a great idea! Next we should replace Donald Trump with Benjamin Netanyahu as president.
And if you don’t support it, you’re a Nazi!!
Alex Jones@RealAlexJones
Israeli intelligence group “Project 545” is now digitally stalking and harassing prominent anti-war voices in the United States and they’re working under the direction of Trump‘s new anti-terrorism czar. This is the definition of foreign interference in the sovereignty of the United States. If Trump was not aware of this he needs to fire the people who kept him in the dark and kill the program. If Trump does nothing to stop it we know he is complicit and should be removed from office for turning control of US intelligence agencies over to a foreign government..
