@TheEconomist @POTUS should try to keep the Strait of Hormuz open but not at the cost of accomplishing our goals in Iran.

Democrats are fired up about the midterms. Yet if oil prices ease before the summer driving season, Republicans’ prospects may not be so grim economist.com/united-states/…

@DefiantLs This has to be the most French thing I’ve ever seen.

@TheFP Iran is determined to get a nuke no matter what the deal is. They are a radical, terror supporting regime bent on spreading terror.

Any deal to avert a war would have had to let Iran enrich uranium. That was unacceptable to Trump, writes Eli Lake. thefp.com/p/joe-kent-has…

This communications strategy is inscrutable and obnoxious, and it’s not reassuring anyone. You guys know we’re at war, right?

@mdubowitz @FDD Agreed. @POTUS has to find a way to keep the Strait of Hormuz open or otherwise not be bothered by the economic consequences of the war.

The regime in Iran is built on a death cult and permanent war.
President Trump must ensure the regime’s war-making capability is comprehensively destroyed, while Israel continues degrading the repression apparatus.
Then we must help Iranians take back their country. Otherwise, this never ends and we will get endless wars.

@jpodhoretz I hope @POTUS doesn’t feel pressured to make a bad deal with Iran just to make a deal.

It's not news that Trump would like a speedy end to this war, Wall Street Journal. It's not news that any country wants a speedy end to any war it's fighting. News is when something that you don't know happens. In case you needed a definition.

@hahussain Based on the way the war is going, Iran isn’t in a place to be receiving major concessions about Hezbollah or otherwise. The US and Israel should continue pressing the advantage.

In other words, Islamist Iran regime is asking for a ceasefire that includes recognition of a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (disbanding Hezbollah).
Lebanon has already expelled the Iranian ambassador for intervening in Lebanese affairs. Tehran persists with its intervention.
Phil Stewart@phildstewart
(Reuters) - One of the regional sources told Reuters that Hezbollah had received "Iranian guarantees" on its inclusion in any wider deal. "Iran is prioritizing Lebanon - it will not accept Israeli violations in Lebanon like what happened after the 2024 ceasefire," the source said, referring to Israel's continued strikes on Lebanon despite a 2024 truce that ended the last Hezbollah-Israel war. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

@mdubowitz @FDD @BenCohenOpinion As Dwight Eisenhower said, “There is no substitute for absolute victory.” @POTUS shouldn’t make a deal just to make on. No nukes, no ICBMs, and no terror proxies.

My latest with @FDD @BenCohenOpinion on how allowing missiles for “self defense” would be a license for the IRGC to continue producing deadly offensive weapons. nypost.com/2026/03/25/opi…

The United States is winning the war with Iran, but political circumstancesis putting pressure on @POTUS to make a deal with Iran. If the US makes a bad deal, it’s only a matter of time till Iran develops nuclear weapons and rebuilds its terror proxy network.

PRESS SEC: The United States military continues to decimate the terrorist Iranian regime's offensive and defensive capabilities. Just over 3 weeks in, it's abundantly clear that Operation Epic Fury has been a resounding military triumph.

This may be an unpopular take on the Right, but I think Kimmel has a point. Much as I detest elitism, there are jobs where credentials matter, and @DHSgov is one of them. I hope I'm wrong on @SenMullin, but he is light on experience necessary for the job.

@SephJ_APY @TurkeyBit @ariel_oseran @NoahCRothman That’s why I think Iran’s calls for alliance will fail. It’s one thing to call for an international alliance but things apart when it comes to deciding who leads it. See the Soviets and Communist China.

@TurkeyBit @MattCookson95 @ariel_oseran @NoahCRothman Even though they are both Muslim, the difference between Sunni and Shia is so intense that they have been at each other's throats forever. You saw that difference in the iraq war.

Iran announces its readiness to establish “a regional security and military union with its dear neighbors,” without the presence of the U.S. or Israel.
The Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman said in a statement in Arabic: “Dear Muslim brothers, we do not need a country that is thousands of kilometers away to ensure our region's security, nor do we need a country that views Islamic countries as cash cows. What good has America and its bases in the region brought you?”
The spokesman added: “We must learn from the mistakes of the past and the lack of supportive force which caused the Arabs' defeat in the 1967 and 1973 wars. We must unite to ensure our security and establish a comprehensive defense union.”

@TheDemocrats should take up @LeaderJohnThune on this offer. I know they want to score political points but this shutdown is impacting the American people and making them less safe.
Ryan Wrasse@RWrasse
Still no counteroffer from Senate Democrats. The proposal that’s currently on the table does what Democrats have repeatedly said they want. It isolates the areas of disagreement (immigration enforcement) while funding the rest of DHS, including TSA. In terms of reforms, it includes all of the bipartisan proposals that were included in the deal Dems walked away from in January. Demanding additional reforms to portions of the bill you’re insisting be removed is a non-starter, and it doesn’t make sense. The time to get serious is now.

Hey, wait a second. This is what the podcasters are always accusing Israel of doing! That’s gimmick infringement!

@MarkwayneMullin is better than @KristiNoem but he is inexperienced in law enforcement. So long as he avoids the mistakes of his predecessor (of which there were many), Mullin should do fine. What do you think?
