The Islamic Republic has never been weaker thanks to Israeli strikes, American economic pressure, regime incompetence and internal dissent.
But are we heading to a fatally-flawed Iran nuclear deal worse than Obama 2015?

I deeply regret my decades of support for a Palestinian state under ‘land for peace’ and the ‘two-state solution.’ I was wrong—badly wrong. I misjudged a society that prioritizes murdering Jewish children over building a better future for its own. I apologize.

May 2025 bring the return of the hostages, the fall of Khamenei’s regime, and peace for America, Israel and a free Iran. 2024 was an awful year; may this year be much better.
Happy New Year!

I keep warning Europeans: their betrayal of Israel will backfire with the most pro-Israel administration in American history coming into office and pro-Israel GOP controlling Congress. This will be a disaster for Ukraine and the EU — and a gift for Putin.

More than two years later, Iranians still take to the streets, demanding an end to IRGC terrorists.
I am tracking the ongoing protests in Iran, including 35 this week, and almost 8,000 since Sept 2022.

I’m increasingly convinced that many people I thought were antisemitic are simply just stupid.

October 7 will be remembered as the day Khamenei’s axis of misery began to collapse.
From Israel’s darkest hour—the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust—a nation rose to fight back.
The Islamic Republic will fall. Israelis and free Iranians will be close friends.

The IDF has done more for Middle East peace than decades of useless UN agencies and Western diplomats. Defund the UN, teach “escalation to de-escalation” diplomacy, and double down on funding the IDF.

The ICC is a sham. It never issued an arrest warrant for Assad, who committed genocide, killed 600,000 (including with chemical weapons), and displaced 13 million. Justice for Syrians? It took hard power, including by Israel.

Something is rotten in the Anglosphere: Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand are bowing to radical Islamists and extreme leftists eroding their liberal ideals. The U.S. remains the last bastion where the English-speaking West must make its stand.

I know this is shocking but the United States and Europe still have not designated the mass-murdering Khamenei for human rights abuses.

Thanks to decades of Palestinian rejectionism, violence, and the UN’s shameless whitewashing, Palestinians get a hollow “Solidarity Day” instead of celebrating independence.
Guterres and his UN are anti-Palestinian, perpetuating victimhood instead of fostering solutions.

It’s a grave mistake to threaten cutting military aid to pressure allies into surrender.
Biden/Democrats did this with Israel—it was wrong.
Trump/Republicans must not do the same with Ukraine.
Stand by allies defending themselves against our common enemies.

Leave it to Macron to come close several times to ruining the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement. Barak Ravid has the details: www.axios.com/2024/11/27/i...
Sustaining Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire poses huge challenge for Biden and Trump
Trump was looped in as the deal got close. It will soon be his to manage.
