SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief. If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.


Iran will “have a far easier time” than the United States arguing that it won the war, writes @domtierney. Tehran’s relative weakness allows it to “claim victory by virtue of survival.” foreignaffairs.com/iran/iran-war-…








War in the Middle East is no game, Mr. President. And even in using the metaphor, we definitely do not have all the cards. Iran has full possession of the biggest ace in the deck, a stranglehold over the SOH. They also have considerable antiship and shore-to-shore missile capacity, which is why our Navy is stationed so far away from the Iranian coast. We certainly have some powerful cards, and have meted out significant pain and destruction on Iran, but of the cards that matter the most – the ones that have to do with winning or losing the war — they have a considerable hand. If we make another military move in the region, pretending Iran has no strong cards, we may get a very unpleasant surprise.










🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The diplomats were never in charge and that is exactly why this war may not be over. Senator Ron Johnson says the people running Iran are the ones with the guns. They don't want a deal. And until the regime is disarmed or its own people are, it survives. "The people in charge of Iran are not the diplomats, not the ones who wanted to do a deal. The people in charge of Iran are the ones with the guns, and they don't want to do a deal." @SenRonJohnson










PRESIDENT TRUMP: We’re having talks with Iran. They’ve come a long way. The question is whether or not they’re going to go far enough. At this moment, there will never be a deal unless they agree that there will be no nuclear weapons.
