There is no need for boots on the ground in Iran. Instead, a Second Amendment Solution stands a real chance of giving the Iranian people a genuine path back to freedom.
You are either with the UAE or with the evil Islamic regime. No silence is accepted. Right now, the Islamic regime in Iran is targeting my beloved country, the UAE, with drones and missiles. The UAE is crushing them, intercepting, destroying, and defending not just its land, but the safety of over 200 nationalities who call it home. Stand clear. Choose your side. UAE is safe and strong.
Don't buy the "Bibi is the real problem" narrative. Most Western governments will adopt that line in due course to go back to business as usual with Israel. The rot in Israel goes much deeper and the issue is now systemic. Example: this is supposed to be "the good guy".
This is what it looks like when money doesn’t go to terror and terror tunnels
I sent an official letter to Israel’s Minister of Economy and my friend, @NirBarkat , requesting that he review the grain procurement policy. Specifically, I asked that Russia and its grain—some of which may have been stolen from Ukraine—be removed from the list of importers I also emphasized that Israel’s excessive dependence on Russian grain is dangerous from a practical standpoint. When a sector as critical as food security depends on an aggressor state, it creates very serious risks That is precisely why I called for a gradual phase-out of Russian wheat (as I fully understand that Israel, which is also at war and facing a difficult economic situation, cannot do this immediately) and for expanding purchases from strategic partners, primarily the United States of America
על רקע המו"מ המתמשך בין ארה"ב לאיראן, בצה"ל מזהים שהיעדים הצבאיים באיראן הושגו, אך כל עוד לא יוצא הגרעין מאיראן ולא תיפסק ההעשרה - כל מה שנעשה הוא כישלון אחד גדול. בכירים בצבא מעריכים כי גם אחרי שהותקפו הטילים, המפקדות והמפקדים - המשטר האיראני יוכל "להתנפל על הגרעין" לאחר סיום המלחמה @shapira_nitzan
Israel’s presence in southern Lebanon has two objectives: protect northern residents from direct rocket fire and choke Hezbollah’s “logistical oxygen line.” But to fully strangle the organization, Israel needs—and has received—the help of another pair of hands: those belonging to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. In the eighteen months since his ascent to power, al-Sharaa has been guided by one instinct: survival. In the “New Syria,” that survival is defined by three pillars: centralization of power, international legitimacy and a desperate need for financial rehabilitation. These interests have converged into a singular, pragmatic mission: the expulsion of Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, from Syrian soil. In a recent visit to the Chatham House research institute in London, al-Sharaa stated that Syria “paid a heavy price for Hezbollah’s involvement” and that his duty now is to “cut the lifeline” of the organization passing through his territory. Analysis by the Institute for the Study of War points to a dramatic change in Syrian behavior. Recently, Syrian forces exposed a massive smuggling tunnel in the Homs area and intercepted a shipment of 6,000 explosives and missile components hidden inside a “humanitarian aid” truck. Videos are also circulating on Telegram showing Syrian soldiers manning roadblocks near the Lebanese border, searching Hezbollah trucks and tearing down posters of Nasrallah. In one video, a Syrian officer is heard telling a Hezbollah operative, “The days when Syria was your backyard are over; now we are the ones in charge here.” The crackdown has even escalated into direct military disruption. Between April 15 and 19, Syrian security forces thwarted several rocket attacks directed at Israel by seizing a truck containing ready-to-fire rocket launchers and arresting members of a Hezbollah-linked cell. These actions are hardly the result of al-Sharaa’s secret Zionism. Rather, by persecuting the network, he is proving to the international community and the Trump administration that Syria is no longer a forward base for Iran. The Syrians aren’t doing this for free, either. In addition to an American rehabilitation package and the removal of sanctions, President al-Sharaa received a significant political and economic boost from the European Union this week. The EU mission proposed a full renewal of the 1978 cooperation agreement with Syria—a dramatic step providing the country access to development budgets, technical assistance and trade concessions. Alongside this, the EU announced a support package of 620 million euros for 2026-27, part of a wider rehabilitation plan expected to reach 2.5 billion euros. Outside of the West, al-Sharaa received a royal welcome in the Gulf. While Israel celebrated its Independence Day on Wednesday, the Syrian president arrived for an official visit to Saudi Arabia and met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Hezbollah was a key pillar of support for Ahmed al-Sharaa’s predecessor, Bashar al-Assad, and it was ultimately Israel’s crippling of the terror group that afforded the former jihadi the sudden opportunity to race for the grand prize in Damascus. While Israel rightly remains deeply distrustful of its operation’s beneficiary, it’s nice to see the new regime pay us back for the favor.
