Trump in Disarray at Apparent Ignorance of Iranian Enemy

Opinion - Is Trump fleeing Armageddon?

Thu, May 28, 2026 



President Trump is struggling to understand modern asymmetrical warfare. He keeps trying to define victory in Iran as the defeat of the country’s conventional navy, air force, and army, as if they were the only source of the regime’s power.

They are not, yet Trump keeps trying to prematurely declare victory on those terms. He did it again on Tuesday, with a word-for-word reposting of his May 18 rant on Truth Social slamming the media and his opponents for claiming Iran is winning its war against the U.S. and Israel.

Conventionally speaking, Iran is not winning. Nonetheless, Iran –– as it has for decades –– defines winning differently.

For 47 years, Iran has predicated its regional and global military defense by aggressively expanding its proxy armies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other Shia militias across the Middle East. These are designed to push the front lines of any future war with Israel or the U.S. away from Iran itself.

However, their primary purpose was always to protect the development of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, including its production of intermediate-range ballistic missiles –– and its pursuit of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Now, under immense economic and political pressure at home, Trump is in danger of fleeing without resolving Iran’s nuclear Armageddon-in-the-making. Yes, he keeps denying that is the case, as when he said on Memorial Day that Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon.” But his negotiating tactics are beginning to suggest otherwise.

Initially, Trump said that all of his negotiating redlines stem from destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program. That is what he claimed on March 15 aboard Air Force One, when he declared, “There were will be no nuclear weapons. That’s where it starts.”

Trump is now apparently willing to initially enter into a memorandum of understanding that starts with reopening the Strait of Hormuz, provides potential sanctions relief for Iran and leaves the nuclear issue unaddressed, save for some vague Iranian assurances that they will not pursue a nuke.

Iran, in that vein, has flipped Trump’s negotiating script. He appears to be in danger of falling for it. Up until Vice President JD Vance walked away from Islamabad on April 12, Washington had controlled the narrative. That is no longer the case. Iran, in the aftermath of Trump’s latest offer, is defining the narrative, at least within the media ecosphere.

Yesterday, Iranian state media claimed that the memorandum of understanding, before it takes effect, must be ratified into a binding agreement by the United Nations Security Council. Likewise, it stated that U.S. forces would have to pull back from Iran and that the regime, alongside Oman, would control maritime shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The White House was forced to shoot this idea down, calling it a “complete fabrication.” But it is represents just one more example of how Iran is on offense and Team Trump is stuck on defense.

Nor, alarmingly, is Iran’s offense limited to media disinformation. Last week, Iran struck the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates. Tehran wasn’t just thumbing its nose at Trump — it was also messaging to Gulf allies of the U.S. that Trump cannot protect them as he chases an elusive peace deal.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is limiting itself to defensive military operations. On Tuesday, U.S. Central Command announced that it had destroyed four Iranian boats attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. It also hit Iranian air defense systems in nearby Bandar Abbas that had threatened U.S. air assets.

Trump must recognize that he is being played by Iran. Its leaders are attempting to avoid further military action by asymmetrically creating new regional lines of defense.

Blockading the Strait of Hormuz was one way. Threatening its Gulf State neighbors, including irreplaceable water desalination plants, is another.

Demanding Israel stand down in Lebanon to protect Hezbollah –– the indispensable member of Iran’s Axis of Resistance –– is yet one more way that Iran is attempting to get Trump to abandon his efforts to end Tehran’s nuclear weapons program.

So too is Iran offering to down-blend its stockpiles of enriched uranium. The facilities needed to do that were likely destroyed by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Isfahan. If Trump agrees to this, Iran will simply run out the clock out until he leaves office.

Trump, if he is to truly defeat Iran and put a permanent end to its quest for nukes, must not prematurely exit the fight. Unless, and until, there is true regime change in Iran, that threat will never go away no matter what memorandum or peace deal Tehran may sign.

Plus, if Trump flees, he will create a strategic opening for China, which would effectively end or severely weaken U.S. hegemony in the Middle East. If that happens, Iran will become America’s greatest strategic defeat.

Where in the World are Trump's Board of Piss and Gaza Stabilization Force?

Remember Donald Dumb's Board of Piss, which he established by lumping together many of the countries he labels as "shithole countries", and which he intended to be his own private security council to replace the UN and its Council that he constantly berates and undermines because they do not submit themselves to Zionist and American Fascism and warmongering? Many of these shithole countries are now reluctant to follow through on the much hyped bullshit because of the war on Iran.

BANGKOK (AP) — The International Stabilization Force for Gaza was announced with great aplomb at the inaugural meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace in February. The American general tapped to lead the 20,000-strong force said it would ensure “future prosperity and enduring peace” after the devastating Israel-Hamas war.

Three months on, he still has no force to lead as none of the five countries that pledged troops have come through with any significant contributions.

Efforts to shore up the fragile ceasefire have stalled as Hamas has refused to disarm and Israel has seized more territory while continuing to strike what it says are militant targets, often killing civilians.

The Iran war has meanwhile made it more difficult for Arab and Muslim leaders to openly cooperate with the United States and Israel, which many in the region view as aggressors, and the resulting global energy crisis has sapped their resources.

Indonesian commitment of 8,000 troops on indefinite hold

The biggest blow to the planned force came about a week after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, when Indonesia put its commitment of 8,000 troops on indefinite hold. Some 1,000 were to have been sent in April, followed by the remainder in June.

Indonesian's pledge was by far the largest of the group, which also includes Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania. U.S. Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, who spoke at the Board of Peace event, was to command the force.

Indonesia suspended its plans over what Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said last week seemed to be a lack of commitment from a distracted Washington, saying “we have not yet received any implementation guidelines.”

“New dynamics have emerged,” he told parliament. “Because the intensity of the conflict between U.S. and Iranian forces remains very high, the BoP has tended to be left behind. Since the BoP has been left behind, the ISF has also been left behind.”

US attack on Iran influenced Indonesia's decision

Domestic issues may have factored into Indonesia's decision, said Muhammad Zulfikar Rakhmat, director of the Indonesia-Middle East/North Africa desk at Jakarta's Center for Economic and Law Studies.

The Iran war is extremely unpopular in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country. The economy is suffering from soaring prices as a result of the conflict, and there is widespread skepticism of the Board of Peace.

“If you talk to the people on the street, I don’t think they believe that the Board of Peace will actually help the people of Gaza,” Rakhmat said. There are also concerns about sending troops to the Middle East when the economy is faltering, he added.

Indonesia lost four peacekeepers who were part of the United Nations mission in Lebanon during fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah. That has further soured public opinion on such international commitments, he said.

Board of Peace blames stalled ceasefire on Hamas

The U.S. military’s Central Command declined to comment or make Jeffers available for an interview, referring all queries to the Board of Peace.

Board of Peace spokesman Brad Klapper also declined to comment on Indonesia's decision or the future of the stabilization force, pointing instead to May 21 remarks made at the U.N. by Nickolay Mladenov, a former Bulgarian defense minister who Trump appointed director of the Board of Peace.

Mladenov said the international force would not be able to begin operations until there was agreement and implementation of a second phase of the ceasefire, which would see Hamas disarm and Israel begin to withdraw. Israeli troops control some 60% of Gaza.

Mladenov has blamed the deadlock on Hamas, saying its disarmament is “non-negotiable” and is holding up progress on other fronts, including Israel's withdrawal and reconstruction.

“You cannot build a future with armed groups running the streets, hiding in tunnels and stockpiling weapons,” Mladenov said in Jerusalem this month. “You cannot deliver reconstruction with militias on every corner.”

Hamas blames delays on Israel

Hamas says Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, holding up its further implementation, and has accused Mladenov of siding with Israel.

Israeli strikes have killed more than 880 Palestinians since the ceasefire, according to local health officials. Israel says it was responding to violations of the truce.

Hamas is also demanding Israel withdraw from areas seized since the start of the ceasefire, according to an Egyptian official with knowledge of the discussions, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door talks. Egypt has long served as a mediator with Hamas.

Many of the countries that have pledged forces have refused to send troops without a deal on Hamas disarming, the official said.

Token forces committed and none yet known to be on the ground

Kazakhstan has said its support for the stabilization force would be limited to “the humanitarian component,” including sending medical units with a field hospital. Its Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.

Albania's Defense Ministry also declined to comment on its troop commitment, saying it was a “dynamic and ongoing process.”

Earlier this month, its chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Arben Kingji, told reporters that while the military had “participated in reconnaissance activities,” no troops had yet been sent. He said only a few would be dispatched as part of the stabilization force headquarters, without giving numbers, adding that further contributions would be considered.

Kosovo, which is expected to send 20 troops, said in April that it was in the “final phase of preparations.” The Defense Ministry did not reply to a request for an update.

Morocco's Foreign Ministry also did not reply. At the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said it would deploy “high-level military officers to the joint military command of the ISF.”

Indonesian turnaround can't be ruled out

Despite the delays from Indonesia, Rakhmat said it was too early to rule out eventual participation in the stabilization force.

President Prabowo Subianto is a former army general who has been keen to raise Indonesia’s profile on the world stage and wants to avoid jeopardizing economic ties with the U.S., Rakhmat said.

“Prabowo wants to strengthen ties to Washington and sign different agreements with the U.S., so to completely withdraw and completely cancel the plan, I don't think it's on the table,” he said.

Trump says he can outwait Iran, dismisses midterm election pressure

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was unconcerned about the political fallout of an ‌extended conflict with Iran, and that Iranian leaders had miscalculated if they thought ‌the November midterm elections would force him into a deal.

"They thought they were going to outwait me," Trump said ​at a White House cabinet meeting, referring to Iran's leadership. "You know, 'We'll outwait him. He's got the midterms.' I don't care about the midterms."

The president had initially said the war would last four to six weeks, but it is now approaching its fourth month. At times, he ‌has suggested the conflict could end ⁠within days only to later suggest it could go on for some time.

Trump made the comments on Wednesday as he discussed how to ⁠end the conflict. His dismissal of midterm pressure could add to concerns among Republican allies already uneasy with earlier remarks downplaying the economic impact of the war on Americans.

Growing voter disquiet about ​high ​prices, especially for gasoline, has added to political ​pressure on Trump’s Republican Party, which ‌is widely expected to struggle to keep control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate.

That unease was amplified by Trump's decision to endorse Ken Paxton, a scandal-plagued primary challenger, over incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas.

Paxton, who was indicted for felony fraud and is being divorced by his wife on biblical grounds, handily beat Cornyn in a ‌Tuesday party primary after securing the president's endorsement. Democrats ​now view the Senate seat in the solidly ​Republican state as competitive in November.

"Look at ​what happened last night," Trump said, referring to Paxton's win. "That was ‌a prelude to the midterms."

During the cabinet ​meeting, Trump also referred ​to his construction projects in the U.S. capital. Some Republican lawmakers say these are a distraction from the more pressing economic issues.

A Reuters review of his public ​statements since January showed that ‌the president has increasingly mentioned the White House ballroom, renovations of the Reflecting ​Pool and plans for a giant arch.

...And, now, ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Bengali Donald Dumb: An albino buffalo that is smarter and more civilized than the real dumb one in the Outhouse in Washington DC.

DHAKA, May 28 (Reuters) - A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh - nicknamed "Donald Trump" for its distinctive blond ‌tuft - has been spared from Eid al-Adha sacrifice ‌after a last-minute government intervention, a Home Ministry official said on ​Wednesday. The US embassy in Dhaka had complained to the Bengali authorities that DOJ might investigate them for attempted murder-by-proxy of the president because of the uncanny resemblance between the real Donald Dumb and a cow.

The nearly 700-kg (1,543 lb) animal, weighing slightly more than his human animal homonym, had already been sold for ritual slaughter when authorities stepped in, citing security concerns after a surge of public interest ahead of Thursday's ‌festival. Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ⁠ordered the buffalo be spared, the buyer refunded, and the animal moved to the ⁠national zoo in Dhaka. "Donald Trump" will thus spend the rest of his days among his equals, though he will have no authority to issue executive orders.

"At the last moment, the decision was taken to spare the buffalo from sacrifice due to ​security concerns ​and the unusual level ​of public interest," a ‌ministry official said. Crowds gathered at the farm where the Bengali jackass cow was held, with visitors travelling from far afield to see its blond fringe. 

Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh, where most cattle are dark, making it a standout ​during the ‌peak Eid livestock season - though it was the ​nickname that likely saved its life. The real Donald Dumb had complained that this "white" buffalo had been discriminated against by the darker-skinned Bengalis, and offered to grant it asylum in the US like he has done for the white human animals of South Africa, the Apartheid racist neo-Nazi Afrikaners. The DOJ of moron Todd Blanche had threatened to sue the Bengali authorities for billions of dollars on grounds of slander and defamation.

This interpreter helped migrants navigate immigration court. Then she was detained by DHS

As a courtroom interpreter in Texas’ immigration system, it was Meenu Batra’s job to make sure migrants understood the proceedings of immigration court – the good and the bad.

In March, Batra was exposed to the other side of the immigration system when she was detained by the Department of Homeland Security after decades spent living and working in the United States.

Batra, a mother of four US citizens who transitioned to interpreting in other courtrooms after years spent in immigration court, was detained for more than six weeks – a harrowing experience from which she says she’s still recovering.

She came to the US in 1991, she said, a fragile 18-year-old traumatized by the killing of her parents in a spate of anti-Sikh violence in India. She rejoined her older siblings who were already in the US and applied for asylum.

Batra declined to give details about how she entered the US but was given a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2000, under President Bill Clinton, according to DHS, her attorney and a judge’s ruling in her current case. But the same day, she was granted withholding of removal, a legal protection similar to asylum that says she cannot be deported to India. The government never appealed that decision, and she was released and spent the last 25 years without any formal interactions with immigration authorities, she says.

That’s until March 17, when she was detained at an airport while on her way to interpret Punjabi for a trial in Milwaukee.

DHS called Batra an “illegal alien” and said she was arrested during a “targeted enforcement operation.”

“We will continue to fight for the removal of illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country,” an agency spokesperson said in a statement when asked for comment about Batra.

The Trump administration has continually said officials are focused on deporting the “worst of the worst,” migrants with serious criminal records. But President Donald Trump’s sweeping deportation campaign has seen people with no or minor criminal records detained for weeks on end or deported, too. Many of them have spent years building lives, careers and families in the US, like Batra, whose attorney said has no criminal record.

Batra said her experience in detention has given her even more insight into the experience migrants face in the American court system. In detention, she said, she fought to help other detainees understand their legal rights and advocate for themselves.

Now she hopes her experience will help highlight the ordinary people detained by DHS – and “how we are denying the basic human rights to people who have been and who are part of this society and this country.”

“I’m just hoping that this brings some attention to those who don’t have a voice,” she said.

Hope for a better life

Batra came to the US like many immigrants do: hoping for a better life.

In 1984, Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikh bodyguards. The killing prompted organized pogroms against Sikhs across the country. Batra’s parents were among those killed, she says.

“I just became numb” after the killings, she said. When she came to the US, “I was leaving everything that was familiar to me, my friends. I didn’t get much chance to say goodbye to many of them.”

Batra spent a few years living on the East Coast before relocating to Texas in 2002. It was in the Lone Star State she first took advantage of her language skills and began working as an interpreter. She lived just 30 minutes from the US-Mexico border, where there were several DHS detention centers – and, she discovered, a need for interpreters of South Asian languages.

Batra with her children. - Meenu Batra

Her first experiences working in immigration court were disorienting enough that she considered quitting outright. “You have to go through security. It was always nerve-wracking,” she said. “And then you see the detainees coming. Sometimes they will be in chains. And you wonder, ‘Why are they in chains?’”

But she came to see the importance of making sure migrants were able to understand the proceedings and meaningfully participate in their own cases. “It was always satisfying when I was able to give them good news,” she said.

She became the only certified Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu courtroom interpreter in all of Texas, she said, and interpreted for countless immigration cases before transitioning to work in district and state courts just before Trump took office for his first term. Her work as an interpreter instilled a deep sense of respect for the American legal system, she said, a feeling that “there’s a right way to do things, and that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do for 35 years.”

Falling ‘into a black hole’

When Batra was arrested at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas, she said she felt like she was falling “into a black hole.”

“Fear” and “numbness” poured through her body as an officer asked her to step outside of the Transportation Security Administration line and later handcuffed her outside the airport.

And on her mind, too, was the Milwaukee jury trial for which she was hired to interpret: “It had never happened before that I was ever late for my work, and now I’m going to be a no-show,” she remembers thinking. The scarcity of certified interpreters of South Asian languages across the US often leads Batru to travel out of state for work.

Until she arrived at the detention center, she had kept a hope that “this was just a big mistake” – that officers would look at her Real ID and her work authorization documents and let her go.

Instead, she was processed at the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas, where she would spend 45 “long, strange days.”

Batra’s attorney, Deepak Ahluwalia, said he believed she was targeted at the airport based on the flight’s manifesto. He cited a Reuters review of internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement data that found TSA shared over 31,000 traveler records with ICE for immigration enforcement, leading to over 800 arrests. DHS didn’t respond to questions from CNN about whether TSA shared her information with ICE but repeated Batra was targeted for being in the US “illegally,” putting the word in bold in its reply.

The process of being arrested, processed and detained was “humiliating,” Batra said.

“You just become smaller and smaller with each moment. Even way before I was in a cell, you start feeling imprisoned already.”

As a fluent English speaker who understood immigration laws from her years spent working as a courtroom interpreter, Batra said she saw herself as a person of “privilege” in the detention center, with a responsibility to help other detainees understand their rights and advocate for themselves. Some detainees had been behind bars for years, she said.

Because she was granted withholding of removal to India, Batra said, she was scared she would be deported to a conflict-ridden country to which she had no ties – like South Sudan or Congo, to which the US has deported people.

A federal judge ruled the administration’s practice of third-party deportations unlawful in February. The State Department, which negotiates agreements for countries to accept third-country deportees from the US, has broadly defended the practice, according to The Associated Press.

‘A new reality’

In the days after she was detained, Batra called her adult daughter – a challenging reversal of her usual role as a single mom who prided herself on providing support and stability for her children – who quickly hired an immigration lawyer to fight for her mother’s release. The legal team filed on March 26 a petition for habeas corpus, a form of relief whose use has skyrocketed in immigration cases since Trump took office again.

Federal judge Rolando Olvera granted Batra’s request for a temporary restraining order on April 30, ordering DHS to release her and not detain her again “until they have provided her with notice of the reasons for re-detention and an opportunity to respond.”

The judge wrote that Batra “was arrested and detained for no discernible reason, with no identified change in circumstance bearing on the likelihood of removal.”

Batra said she didn’t quite believe she was really free until her daughter was driving her away from the detention center. She broke down crying – the culmination of weeks spent away from her family.

The temporary restraining order preventing Batra from being detained is set to expire May 27. Ahluwalia, her attorney, says he expects the habeas petition will be ruled in their favor, keeping Batra out of detention.

But the ramifications of her detention are long-lasting. Batra said her daughter has struggled to sleep through the night in the days since her mother returned home. She jumps when a car passes on the street out of fear that “somebody is coming to get mom,” said Batra.

“It’s a new reality we’re living in,” she said. Living close to the border, DHS vehicles and officers are a frequent sight – and a potent reminder of Batra’s ordeal and her still uncertain future.

One of Batra’s sons joined the military months before her detention, which may provide a pathway for the interpreter to pursue a green card through the parole-in-place program, according to Ahluwalia.

Ahluwalia said he was “shocked” by the government’s efforts to detain and deport Batra. “I do believe that we need to bring, you know, compassion and the human element back to immigration enforcement,” he said. “Otherwise, we’re going to lose ourselves.”

Batra, meanwhile, said she has kept her faith in America’s ideals.

The country “is based on people who want to work hard, and that is a fundamental human right — that we can dream and make attempts to live a better life for ourselves,” she said.

“I believe we must stand up for those ideals, to protect those and to make sure that they are there for other generations that are coming.”

Ireland Leads the Way to Justice for Palestine

It's a very good first step toward holding the Zionist barbarians accountable for their ongoing rape of Palestine.

But Ireland and the EU at large should consider listing the various settler organizations and those that raise funds for them in Europe and the Americas as TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. These criminal organizations are killing and terrorizing the indigenous Palestinians out of their lands in order to steal the land for more illegal terrorist settlements.

Zionist terrorism was also how Israel was created in the 1930s and 1940s, with sheer terror targeting Palestinian villages and towns by such notorious Zionist terrorist organizations as Haganah, Stern Gang-Lehi Group, Irgun and others (for more see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_political_violence, or
ask AI: "zionist terror organizations 1940s".

By driving hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinians out of their lands and villages, the Zionist terrorists managed to clear enough Palestinian lands on which they created their artificial state of Israel. These refugees ands their descendants continue to live in squalid refugee camps - both inside Palestine in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as outside in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt - because Israel refuses to let them back to their country.

The modus operandi of the Zionists is no different from that of the Burmese junta's persecution of the Rohingas, or how the English persecuted the Irish for centuries, or how the Janjawid Arabs are still persecuting the Sudanese Africans of Darfour.

The Zionists terrorized Palestine through a coordinated scorched-earth campaign orchestrated by a hypocrite British government that promised Palestine to the Zionists - actually it sold Palestine to wealthy Zionist bankers in exchange for wartime funds - even though it was given (by the League of Nations) a fiduciary mandate over Palestine which was NOT its own to give away.

The Zionist terror campaign aimed at crushing a puny and poorly equipped Palestinian rebellion, and displacing the Palestinian populations from large swaths of the country. Beginning in the 1920s, the foreign European Zionist militias, armed and directed by British military intelligence, executed systematic attacks that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, the destruction and total erasure of villages, and the displacement of roughly one million people out of their lands.

Just as they still do, the Zionists coordinated their assaults by first issuing terrifying warnings to the Palestinian villagers and townspeople, prompting these to flee, followed by an invasion of the targeted region by Zionist terror squads which proceeded to burn entire villages and rape and kill those who chose not to leave. To ensure the displaced villagers would never return, the Zionist terror squads deliberately destroyed the basic necessities of life by burning homes, olive groves and fields, poisoning water wells, and looting livestock. This "Israeli independence campaign", culminating in 1948, operated with total impunity, as no Zionist terrorist was ever arrested or prosecuted. When the British realized the magnitude of the horror they were enabling, they became reluctant and began opposing the Zionist invasion and violence. The Zionists responded by bombing British targets like the King David Hotel that housed the headquarters of the British mandatory authorities or the assassination of the first UN envoy to Palestine, the Swede Count Folke Bernadotte, on September 17, 1948, in Jerusalem. He was killed in an ambush by members of the Stern Gang, a Zionist terrorist group, as his findings and conclusions clearly favored indigenous Palestinian rights against the colonial Zionist terror plans for Palestine.

Nearly one hundred years later, the Zionists continue their rape of Palestine and their ethnic cleansing of the land. Any resistance by the indigenous Palestinians is labeled terrorism, while the rapist Israel continues to claim to be a victim of its own raped victims.

Ireland to ban goods from Israeli settlements in West Bank by July

DUBLIN, May 26 (Reuters) - Ireland aims to pass a law curbing goods trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank by mid-July with Israel, some U.S. lawmakers and business ‌groups opposing the move, Foreign Minister Helen McEntee said on Tuesday.

Ireland's government, one of the ‌most outspoken critics of Israel's war in Gaza, first promised to sanction Israeli settlements in October 2024. The legislation has since been ​held up by pressure from opposition politicians who aimed to extend the ban also to services trade, on one side, and international company lobbyists seeking to scrap the bill, on the other.

Sources told Reuters last October that the bill was set to be limited to goods. Prime Minister Micheal Martin confirmed that last week ‌and said widening the scope to ⁠services was neither "implementable" nor "viable."

Limiting the bill to goods only will impact just a handful of products imported from Israeli-occupied territories such as fruit that are worth just ⁠200,000 euros ($234,660) a year, Ireland's Central Statistics Office said.

Business groups warned that the wider category of services could pull foreign multinational companies into unworkable sanctions.

"We have consistently advocated for a peaceful solution... but it's very clear from ​the actions ​taken most recently by the Israeli government, but in ​particular the continued increase in settler violence, ‌the escalation in settler violence in the West Bank, the continued violence in Lebanon, that they have no desire to take this particular road," McEntee told reporters.

Israel's far-right governing coalition has enabled a rapid expansion of settlements, with some ministers openly advocating for the annexation of the West Bank.

Settler violence against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has surged since the Gaza war began in October 2023.

McEntee said last week ‌she hoped to pass the law in tandem with ​Belgium, the Netherlands and possibly Slovenia, which have also committed to introducing ​bans. Spain has already introduced similar curbs, ​the only European Union member to so far do so.

A group of U.S. ‌lawmakers wrote to Martin last year, warning that ​passing the bill would damage ​U.S.-Irish relations and impact American companies in Ireland.

Ireland is particularly sensitive to pressure from the U.S. as mainly U.S.-owned foreign multinationals are a major part of the economy and employ around ​11% of Irish workers.

Most of the ‌international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law. Israel disputes ​this, citing historical and biblical ties to the area and that they provide strategic ​depth and security.

Trump's Iran War Threat: Force Saudi Arabia into Abraham Accords

We've known it all along: The Iran scarecrow was always intended by the Americans to scare the Gulf Arab "allies" of the US into submission to American imperialism (inherited from the British) and into a forced but fake peace with the Zionist colony in Palestine. The Gulf Arabs, always anxious about losing their superficial, ostentatious and decadent wealth, willingly submitted themselves to American junky imperialism thinking like fools they are being being protected by the US. But now Trump is raising the stakes. He is using his Zionist-instigated Iran war as a direct threat to Saudi Arabia and other reluctant countries to force them into a fake peace with Israel. He doesn't give a hoot about what kind of peace, as long as he can brag about it to his herd of morons back in the US.

It turns out that a coerced fake peace with Israel is the ultimate goal of the Zionist-American alliance. On the long term, Israel cannot survive in isolation. But in order to integrate the region in which it violently forced itself, it must engage in relations, trade and the free flow of people and goods. That hasn't yet happened, despite decades of failed attempts. While its "peace agreements" with Jordan and Egypt have been around since the 1980s-1990s, they haven't really made a difference in the isolation experienced by a violent and irascible Zionist colonizer. The only stumbling block to a genuine peace and integration is the question of Palestine, which Israel is slowly eradicating and erasing from the map. Still, the hard-headed morons now leading the US and Israel, think that a signature on a piece of paper is all it takes to bring relief to Israel's isolation. They don't seem to understand the notion that only justice can bring peace, and as long as there is no justice - worse yet, only genocide, ethnic cleansing and extermination - for the Palestinian people, no signature and photo op will make Israel acceptable to the peoples of the region who feel a very deep connection with the Palestinian people.

The climax of Trump's "Iran scarecrow policy" is now taking shape under the banner of the Iran War. One of the unstated objectives of the Iran War appears to consist of forcing the Arab Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, down on their knees begging for US protection against the Iranian threat. During the pre-war period, that Iranian threat was more hypothetical than real. But the war has drawn the Gulf States directly into the line of fire, with Iran physically attacking the territory of the increasingly hysterical Arab Gulf states.

Now that the hysteria of the Arab Gulf states is at its peak, Trump and his Zionist handlers believe they have softened their Arab targets enough for the desired harvest: If those Arab Gulf states that have so far resisted signing off on the Abraham Accords, which they condition on the recognition of an independent Palestine, continue to withhold their fake love and friendship for the Zionist colony in Palestine, then the Iran war will continue.

Trump who is himself dying to end the unwinnable war he was dragged into by Netanyahu, now says that any agreement to end the Iran war should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-mediated agreements from Trump’s first term aimed at normalizing relations with Israel.

Trump's proposal came as the imminent Iran deal faced criticism from fellow Republicans who favor a harder line on Iran, and it could add new diplomatic complications to the negotiations.

Trump said that Saudi Arabia and Qatar should “immediately” sign on, alongside Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan, otherwise the Iran war will continue. In effect, Trump is leveraging his war against Iran to force those countries to abandon Palestine once and for all and become slave allies of Israel, and his "immediately" reveals how desperate he is to satisfy Netanyahu's demands AND still avoid a disaster in November.

Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates became the first countries to join the Abraham Accords in 2020.

In one of his latest posts, Trump said, “after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.”

Trump has long hoped Saudi Arabia would join, but the kingdom has maintained that any normalization deal requires first establishing a clear path for Palestinian statehood. That's also key for Pakistan, which is among the countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Israel.

The president said he brought up the Abraham Accords plan with leaders during negotiations on Saturday. He said he would accept “one or two” countries declining to sign, but said most should be willing. He doesn't care which or how many countries bend the knee, as long as some do, so he can brag about having accomplished something out of this losing Iran war. Egypt and Jordan already formally recognized Israel and have long-standing peace treaties, although these "treaties" are more like permanent ceasefires than actual peace and friendship and open trade with the Zionist colony.

It may be that during the latest phone conversation between the Zionist War Criminal Benyamin Netanyahu and the convicted felon and twice-impeached Donald Dumb the two agreed to put this new condition on the table, as a way to salvage some benefits from a very unpopular war.

“The invocation of the Abraham Accords at this stage gives an altogether new dimension to the diplomatic and mediatory processes because this issue was not on the agenda,” said Masood Khan, Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States, pointing to the domestic pressure Trump is facing to strike a favorable deal. In other words, as Trump is contemplating a disastrous retreat from this war out of fear of a crushing defeat in November, he is hoping to show at least some gains for himself and Israel, notably a few pathetic fake peace and normalization agreements with genocidal Israel whose objective is to bury Palestine once and for all.

Thus, as Trump is reaching the end of his rope on the war and his reluctance at walking into the November midterms while prosecuting an unpopular war at home, he is desperately trying to score the ultimate and perhaps only objective of his war, namely to score gains for his Israeli bosses. By making a cessation of the Iran War contingent on forcing these pseudo allies into submission to Israel, Trump has now exposed the real objective of the US-Zionist alliance.

The Abraham Accords are a set of diplomatic, economic and security agreements between the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain with Israel that were essentially forced by Trump during his first term. The UAE and Bahrain were later followed by such insignificant and Palestine-irrelevant countries like Sudan, Morocco and Kazakhstan.

Democracy Works: Looming Midterms Scare Trump into Bad Iran Deal

Democracy does work, even under duress. The upcoming midterm elections, with a serious likelihood of a crushing defeat for the Great Moron, have slammed the brakes on Trump's idiotic, unplanned, Netanyahu-instigated off-the-cuff war against Iran. The problem for the Great Moron is that he is willing to cave in to Iran's terms because of a time crunch: He thinks that American voters by November would have forgotten about the mismanaged war, AS LONG AS he strikes ANY deal NOW - bad or otherwise - 6 months ahead of the elections. He said it many times, "Time is of the essence", which was for him and not for the Iranians. This way, the candidates he appoints to the GOP-MAGA tickets across the country won't have to answer questions about the war.

Therefore, it looks like the "deal" with Iran would keep that country in control of the most pressing issue, namely the nuclear question which, we were repeatedly told from the start, was the single most important issue for the Great Moron's Zionist whisperers. So, Netanyahu appears to have accepted a less than desirable deal on the nuclear issue, perhaps because Trump begged him to accept a bad deal and avoid a disaster in the November midterms. For more on the chasm now emerging between the Zionist war criminal who pushed the regretful idiot into a war see: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/netanyahu-admits-difficulty-influencing-trump-101926304.html

In fact, donkey-eared Marco Rubio yesterday admitted that the "nuclear issue cannot be resolved in 72 hours", which raises the possibility that another two years of negotiations with Iran are in the offing, and perhaps resulting in a deal that would essentially look like Obama's 2015 JCPOA. Which, in turn, demonstrates the reckless, idiotic, reflexive anti-Obama machismo of Trump 1.0 when he walked the US out of the JCPOA. Eleven years later (since 2015) and we are farther behind on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities Had the Great Moron stayed in the JCPOA, Iran would have stopped all its uranium enrichment during those eleven years and the JCPOA would be under re-evaluation for an extension.

In other words, Trump's exit from the JCPOA has furthered Iran's race for the nuclear rather than slow it down or stop it. Plus, Trump's war has created a more pressing issue than the nuclear question, namely a new tool of pressure by the Iranians, the Strait of Hormuz, which was not a problem back in 2015. Further negotiations will see the Iranians with more cards than prior to the war.

Good job, Great Moron. I can't wait to see you lifting sanctions and writing a check to the Iranian regime for the billions of dollars of assets it holds that have been blocked as part of the sanctions.

Why Trump’s possible Iran deal may be almost as divisive as his decision to wage war
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Mon, May 25, 2026

The best hope for ending a poorly planned war, which started with scant consultation with Congress or the American people, may be an unsatisfactory peace that leaves critical issues to be resolved later and deepens Washington strife.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said a deal to halt the conflict he chose against Iran is imminent and very close. Each time, his predictions turned out to be wishful thinking or a misreading of Iran’s true intentions.

So it’s no surprise his latest claims that a framework agreement with Tehran is near have been met with skepticism and confusion — nor that both conservative hawks and Democrats seem to believe he’s on the cusp of caving to a bad deal.

Still, diplomatic buzz suggests that an accommodation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and to ease the US blockade on Iranian ships and ports could be close. Such a breakthrough could be a starting point for talks the administration will try to use to thwart any remaining Iranian nuclear ambitions.

A more concrete agreement beyond the current fragile ceasefire would be welcomed worldwide as it would come with the hope of eventually easing energy and economic crises triggered by the war and Iran’s closure of the strait.

The Iran war, like everything else in Washington, is hostage to bitter politics, entrenched ideologies and politicians seeking to boost their own profiles. The administration’s aggressive refusal to accept criticism over a conflict that seemed to vastly underestimate Iran’s capacity for resistance hasn’t helped.

It’s worth noting that Trump can’t win politically. Polls show a majority of Americans oppose the war, so he’d face an equal or greater backlash if he ordered new strikes against Iran — a step that would threaten a violent escalation and worse economic pain. But presidents are often tempted to launch new military adventures to save face, or to search for an exit ramp that frequently turns into a quagmire. When they step back, lives can be saved.

Still, the emerging details of a potential agreement with Iran suggest the terms of a peace deal may be beyond even Trump’s capacity to spin into a triumph.

Indications, for instance, that Washington may unfreeze some Iranian assets and gradually dismantle its own blockade to persuade Iran to reopen the strait would effectively validate the leverage the Islamic Republic seized in the war and hand away key US bargaining chips.

Any undertaking from Iran in the memorandum that it will not chase nuclear weapons would be greeted with great reservations in Washington. A proposed period of at least 60 days for negotiations to resolve remaining sticking points on Iran’s nuclear enrichment, including its uranium stockpile, also seems rather compressed given the complexity of the issues. History shows Iran would love to drag the United States into a prolonged period of inconclusive diplomacy that lasts months or years.

Another reason for caution is that it’s not clear that Iran, with an even more opaque system of government after top leaders were killed in the war, will accept any peace deal that the US is apparently willing to offer. There were conflicting messages out of Tehran over the weekend. And Iran’s new leaders seem to believe they won this showdown with the America superpower — even if their economy is reeling and the citizens they repress are facing dire conditions.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, said Monday that a “degree of understanding” had been reached with the US on many issues but that agreement wasn’t imminent. Baghaei also appeared to indicate that Iran would seek to retain some control over the strait, a condition that could be a deal breaker for the US.

Outlines of a proposed deal, meanwhile, fall far short of the “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” that Trump demanded from Iran in March. But he’s under extreme pressure to find some resolution, with gas prices rising, his approval ratings tanking, and his support from congressional Republicans weakening on Iran and other issues.

Republican hawks pressure Trump not to fold

Some Republicans fear Trump may be about to cave.

“Look, we were told about 11 weeks ago by (Secretary Pete) Hegseth and the Department of Defense that they had obliterated Iran’s defenses and it was just a matter of time before we had the nuclear material,” North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” on Sunday. “Now we’re talking about a posture where we may accept the nuclear material remaining in Iran? How does that make sense at all?”

The US and Israel have made the removal of Iran’s stocks of highly enriched uranium a key war aim. But the casualties that could result from a bid to extract it by force have been prohibitive. And concessions that Iran would demand for handing the material over through diplomacy are likely to be very high.

Movement toward a deal has also drawn the skepticism of Sen. Roger Wicker, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Mississippi senator wrote on X on Friday that Trump’s instincts to “finish the job” in Iran had been sound but seeking a deal now would risk “a perception of weakness.”

Trump ally Sen Lindsey Graham on Saturday warned that allowing Iran to press home its advantage by controlling the Strait of Hormuz would shift the regional balance of power.

These arguments have some merit. But it is also not clear how more fighting, on top of the weekslong US-Israeli onslaught on Iran, would have a greater chance of success in breaking Tehran’s resistance.

CNN reporting last week cited two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments as saying Tehran had restarted some drone production and was rebuilding certain military capabilities degraded by US-Israeli strikes. This means a resumption of war would risk even more intense and damaging Iranian retaliation against Gulf states, critical infrastructure and US forces than the first bout. An attempt to reopen the strait by force would be potentially dangerous and time-consuming.

Trump is also facing heat from Democrats who criticized him for starting the war, faulted his waging of it, and are now rebuking him over its possible endgame. Their attacks show their party senses that majority opposition to the war among voters might deliver them a midterm victory.

Sen. Cory Booker expressed concern over reports about the sequencing of a deal, starting with the opening of the strait and progressing to later nuclear talks.

“What I’m seeing that has me so outraged right now is the president said he went into this to deal with their nuclear program,” the New Jersey Democrat said on “State of the Union.” “This does not deal with that.”

Booker added: “Donald Trump is being played as a fool that he is for getting us into this in the first place.”

Sen. Chris Van Hollen warned the proposed agreement would “take us back to the prewar status quo” or worse, but hinted that the US may have no choice.

“I think this was a blunder. When you’re digging a hole, you should stop digging, and that sounds like maybe what we’re doing, finally,” the Maryland Democrat said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio hit back at criticisms of the potential deal during a trip to India. “The idea that somehow this president, given everything he’s already proven he’s willing to do, is going to somehow agree to a deal that ultimately winds up putting Iran in a stronger position when it comes to nuclear ambitions is absurd,” he said.

The president seems to have been listening to concerns he’s about to sign up for a dud. “I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side,” he wrote on social media Sunday.

With Memorial Day marking the start of a volatile summer of politics that may decide the midterms, top Republicans stressed that peace could bring a payoff for voters.

Kevin Hassett, the director of Trump’s National Economic Council, told Fox News that a deal would unleash a “gusher” of oil through the strait. “You could actually be looking at negative inflation because of the energy price going down,” he said. And Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running for governor, told Fox that as soon as there was a deal, “those oil prices will be tumbling down and gas prices with it here in the United States.”

Many analysts, however, warn that the recovery from the closure of the strait, which left scores of tankers stuck in the Gulf for weeks, will not immediately improve global economic prospects or affordability in the US. JPMorgan analysts, for example, expect oil to average $97 a barrel throughout the rest of the year.

Two critical questions Trump must answer

As more details become public about the proposed deal, Trump will face several critical questions. First, will his eventual agreement be more watertight than former President Barack Obama’s pact, which was negotiated with Iran and major world powers in 2015? That deal cut off Tehran’s multiple paths to nuclear weapons and included strict and constant verification.

Second, has Trump’s trashing of that deal — and a war that has taken 13 American lives in combat, closed down the Gulf region, cost billions of dollars, and likely killed hundreds of Iranians — put the United States in a better position with regard to Iran?

That this is even a question underscores Trump’s dilemma: Restarting the war could have grave political and economic consequences. Ending it on the best available terms may be almost as problematic and unpopular.

Trump's Wishlist for More White Immigration into US

Donald Dumb is allowing tens of thousands of white Afrikaners from South Africa to immigrate into the US, supposedly because they are persecuted by the indigenous Africans now in power after the end of apartheid.

The Great Moron is not only interested in increasing the numbers of whites in an America destined to become majority non-white in the not-so-distant future. He is hoping that these Afrikaners, imbibed through centuries of colonial brutality into white supremacy, would also swell the numbers of American neo-Nazi white supremacists, collectively known as MAGA. The Afrikaner colonial settlers who stole the land from the native Africans have been steeped into racism and hatred and would be excellent candidates for Donald Dumb's MAGA universe.

Assuming these are the main two criteria for Donald Dumb's preference for white neo-Nazi immigrants into the US, here are some suggestions for the future.

White Europeans are no longer interested in immigrating to the US, what with their higher standards of living and their proclivity for being open-minded, educated and civilized. With the aging of their populations, falling natality and diminished workforce, they have been taking in otherwise unwanted immigrants from poorer, less white and Muslim cultures. Some in Europe are fearing a Great Replacement conspiracy that aims to "darken" the European continent and Islamize it.

Hence, to correct some of these failings, it might be time for Europeans to consider a reverse migration from the New World back to the Old World. The EU should open its doors to young white Christian immigration from North America and Latin America. Just as the US is welcoming white neo-Nazi immigrants from South Africa, the EU should also welcome white neo-Nazi Americans from the MAGA and Republican throngs who feel angry, disgruntled and disadvantaged in the US. Wouldn't it be sublime if the descendants of white European colonizers of the American continent were to head back and rescue the countries of origin of their parents and ancestors from the brown Hispanic and Muslim invasions under way? 

Of course, the problem is in the makeup of those white Americans who are for the most part bastards of many races, ethnicities and religions, which makes it difficult to ascertain whether these American candidates for immigration are true genetic whites. But since racism is based on the utterly stupid and superficial criterion of skin color, all it would take a European consular officer in Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas or Los Angeles to decide on the eligibility of a white American immigrant is one brief look - a glance - at the candidate and check a yes or a no on the application form. If the candidate "looks" white, then he is admitted. No need for complicated genealogies or bureaucratic paperwork.

When asked about their origins, United Statesian Americans generally give you a long list of countries their ancestors came from. Since they cannot be sure, they thrown in more desirable origins and ignore the less desirable ones. For example, you'll hear such statements as "Scandinavian, English, Italian and German", but leave aside "African, Asian or Arab". Now, those whose appearance suggests a genetic background from the racially inferior latter rather than from the racially superior former, they will "enhance" their origin by adding "Native American" (i.e. American Indian), which in their mind confers upon them the "authentic" they think they lack, even though such an ascendancy conjures up stories of rapes of native Americans by white European settlers. 

Others, particularly along the East Coast and among New England elites, would even boost their authenticity by including among their ancestors pilgrims from the Mayflower ship that landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, or the Susan Constant that landed in Jamestown, Virginia in the early 1600s. 

I therefore strongly urge the Europeans to begin rescuing the whites of all the American continent, north and south, who will in time risk to be swamped by non-white immigrants from shithole countries and by a resurgent and vengeful nationalism of the colonized indigenous populations, especially in Central and South America. Although American whites are generally uneducated and dumb, they are very Christian and hard-working. They will truly begin a rebirth of the colonial white Old Continent and serve as a counterweight to the invading hordes of dark Muslims and Asians.

Finally, the Europeans and the Americans should also seriously consider rescuing the white colonial settlers of Palestine from the hatred and persecution they suffer at the hands of the indigenous Arabs and Muslims of the Middle East. These "Zionist" settlers have tried, albeit with brutality and violence, to integrate and become an authentic middle eastern country, but their efforts over the past century cannot be considered successful. They, like the neo-Nazi South African Afrikaners' quest to civilize the indigenous Blacks of South Africa, have tried to civilize the indigenous Arabs of Palestine, but to no avail. 

Benyamin Netanyahu, the Zionist leader, has over and over reminded his Western American and European relatives that his Zionist colony in Palestine is an outpost of western civilization amidst a savage hodge-podge of violent and irascible Muslim Arabs who have no tolerance for white colonial settlers who steal their land and commit an otherwise beneficial civilizing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the natives.  

Therefore, Just as Donald Dumb is rescuing the poor neo-Nazi south African Afrikaners suffering from the indigenous Black African majority, he should rescue the Fascist Zionist Israelis of Palestine whose suffering and rejection at the hands of the native indigenous Palestinians has become unbearable. Israelis appear to be condemned ad aeternum to a life of constant fear, in a state of constant alert, and on a perpetual footing of war. Their suffering should end. Donald Dumb should open wide the gates of immigration to all the white Jewish colonists and settlers of Palestine. They, like the white Afrikaner settlers and colonists of South Africa, would swell the ranks of the Judeo-Christian white supremacists of the United States and be a counterweight to the demographic time bomb of the ongoing Hispanic invasion of north America. A substantial reduction of the white western Zionist footprint in Palestine and the Middle East at large, would significantly reduce the chronic tensions, wars and conflicts in the region, and finally usher peace in that tormented part of the world. 

Donald Dump can then rightfully claim the Nobel Peace Prize.

MAGA Allies Cruz & Graham: Purported Iran Deal is a Trump Failure

As often argued in these pages, Trump's "deal" with Iran looks like a dud, plus-or-minus closer to Obama's JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), except Obama reached his without a war and with the consensus of allies.

MAGA morons, especially Ted Cruz from the backward state of Texas, have smelled the stench of a Trump retreat on Iran and are not happy. Remember when Trump, during his first administration, raised hell about NAFTA (1994 North American Free Trade Agreement between US, Mexico and Canada), which he labeled in his explicit and sophisticated English language as a "bad deal" for the US ? He then re-negotiated it (USMCA) in 2020 with barely a gain in it. He never mentioned it again. USMCA maintained NAFTA's free trade zone intact among the three nations but introduced slightly modified rules for the automotive industry, labor standards, and intellectual property, all of which have been trashed by his tariffs.

Trump is doing the exact same thing with Obama's JCPOA. He went to war and promoted the big lie about an imminent nuclear threat that justified going to war, spending billions, disrupting international trade and oil supplies, promising to wipe Iran off the map and completely eliminate its nuclear program.

Now, terrified at the crushing defeat he faces in the November midterms, he is beginning to retreat on Iran. He is running out of time and is increasingly desperate. The "new deal" he is bragging about today looks more like an appeasement of MAGA's domestic wrath because the dumb jackass promised "no foreign wars" during his campaign.

Even his diehard MAGA morons, like Ted Cruz, are upset at what they see coming on Iran: A big cowardly retreat to something more or less like Obama's JCPOA. This is what Cruz posted yesterday:

“If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant ‘death to America’—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake,”

================================================


Ted Cruz, Trump ally battle online over criticism of Iran deal
Sophie Brams
Sun, May 24, 2026 




Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sparred with one of President Trump’s outside advisers on social media Saturday after indicating he was “deeply concerned” about the terms of an emerging deal between the U.S. and Iran.

“I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran ‘deal,’ being pushed by some voices in the administration,” Cruz wrote on the social platform X.

Trump announced earlier in the day that a peace agreement with Tehran had been “largely negotiated” and would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but offered few details otherwise.

“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He notably made no mention of what would happen with Iran’s nuclear program or its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which had long been a sticking point in stalled negotiations. Senior Trump administration officials justified the initial strikes in late February by claiming the country posed an imminent nuclear threat to the U.S.

Cruz called that February decision “the most consequential” of Trump’s second term, arguing it had achieved “extraordinary military results,” including the purported destruction of Iran’s missiles, drones and navy.

“If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant ‘death to America’—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake,” the senator wrote.

His criticism echoed that of several other hawkish Senate Republicans who also argued on Saturday that any deal that allows the current Iranian regime to remain in power could embolden them — a rare moment of discord between the president and his usually steadfast GOP allies.

That assessment did not sit well with Alex Bruesewitz, an outside adviser who was the architect of Trump’s podcast strategy in the 2024 presidential campaign.

“Cool, Ted. No one asked you, bro,” Bruesewitz responded on X, accusing Cruz of trying to undermine the president and his administration.

“Hush, child. The adults are talking,” Cruz shot back. “I’m not your ‘bro.’ And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.”

Bruesewitz labeled the Texas Republican a “clown” in a separate post, saying he had “zero clue” what is in the deal.

“Ted is a do-nothing Senator rushing out ahead of the potential deal because he’s already positioning for 2028 and plans to use this as a wedge against our candidate,” he wrote. “The deal could be the greatest deal in the world (which it might be!) and he would still complain about it.”

The proposed deal framework would officially declare an end to the nearly three-month conflict and establish 60 days of negotiation on Iran’s nuclear program, a regional official with direct knowledge of the Pakistan-led mediation efforts told The Associated Press.

It would also see the Strait of Hormuz reopened and the U.S. lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to the outlet.

Even Lady Lindsey Graham of the equally backward state of Georgia is upset at the Iran deal:

GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham, Roger Wicker blast reports of 60-day ceasefire deal with Iran
Finya Swai
Sat, May 23, 2026

Key Senate Republicans are raising concerns about a reported peace deal being negotiated with Iran, arguing it would be a disaster for the United States that would make meaningless the war launched by President Trump nearly three months ago.

“The rumored 60-day ceasefire — with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith — would be a disaster,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote in a post on social platform X.

He said the effects of the joint military operation between the U.S. and Israel titled “Operation Epic Fury” would “be for naught” if the deal as he understood it went forward.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close ally of President Trump who for years has pushed for U.S. military action against the Iranian regime, said a premature deal could fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Middle East in Iran’s favor.

“If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution,” Graham wrote Saturday in a post on X.

The South Carolina Republican added that such a perception would become a “nightmare for Israel” over time, questioning the rationale behind the war entirely.

He also noted his skepticism that Iran could be denied the ability to threaten global oil supply by blocking the Strait of Hormuz again in the future.

“I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability,” he wrote, adding: “It is important we get this right.”

The criticisms from the two GOP senators was remarkable given the GOP Senate has generally avoided stark criticism of Trump.

The comments from both men came before President Trump announced a deal with Iran was close.

“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, adding that final details of the deal will be “announced shortly.”

Trump offered no details of the deal, but a regional official with direct knowledge of the Pakistan-led mediation efforts told The Associated Press that the potential deal would officially declare an end to the war and establish a 60-day period of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

The concerns from Graham and Wicker seemed largely related to Iran’s nuclear program. The deal being discussed does not seem to include any specific comments from Iran on its nuclear program, though Trump and U.S. officials have long said preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is a reason for the war.

According to a report in The New York Times, Tehran had agreed to stop the fighting on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah has been fighting Israel. The Times, citing three Iranian sources, also said the deal would re-open, without tolls, the Strait of Hormuz, a key for Trump as it could gradually offer relief on sky-high gas prices in the U.S. that has led to mounting political pressure on the GOP. The Times said the deal would also end the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

The Times added it was not clear the deal referred to by its sources was the same one Trump described in his Truth Social post.

The prospect of a deal had been foreshadowed by developments over the last day.

Wicker on Friday also offered a message that indicated he was wary of what he was hearing on the negotiations. He wrote in a Friday post on X that it would be “ill advised” to pursue a deal.

“Further pursuit of an agreement with Iran’s Islamist regime risks a perception of weakness,” he wrote in a post on X Friday. “We must finish what we started.”

Trump announced Friday he would not be attending his son Donald Trump, Jr.’s wedding, and the White House said he would be in Washington, not in Mar-a-Lago, where he frequently travels on weekends. Trump indicated he was not going to the wedding because of his presidential duties and specifically mentioned Iran.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served in that role in the first Trump administration, also harshly criticized what he understood as the deal. He wrote in a post on X that it sounded as if it had been negotiated by officials working for the Obama administration. Both Trump and Pompeo have criticized the Iran deal negotiated by that administration as being too weak.

The deal being floated is “Not remotely America First,” Pompeo wrote.

He said any effective deal would be “straightforward.”

“Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region. Overdue. Let’s go,” he wrote.

Later on Saturday, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote on X that Pompeo “has no idea what … he’s talking about,” adding that Pompeo is “not read into anything that’s happening.”

The president is facing growing pressure on multiple fronts to take measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Americans face four-year record high gas prices, which hit a national average of almost $4.53 ahead of Memorial Day.

Republicans fear they could lose their House majority in this fall’s elections amid falling approval ratings for Trump, and the Senate majority is also now seen as being within reach of Democrats.

Trump said he discussed Iran’s proposed framework with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call that he described as one that “went very well.”

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
