Meanwhile, Trump still thinks he can reach a negotiated settlement with the mullahs. This assumption betrays total ignorance of the beliefs, motives and goals of the rulers of the Islamic Republic.
“Trump’s Mar-a-Lago could be targeted if US attacks Iran, says Iranian MP – report,” Jerusalem Post, February 21, 2026:
An Iranian member of parliament warned that Iran could expand any wartime response beyond the Middle East and said that even US President Donald Trump’s “own palace” could be targeted, according to remarks published by Iranian outlet Didban Iran and later translated by Iran International.
The lawmaker was identified as Amir Hayat Moghaddam, a member of Iran’s parliament and its national security and foreign policy commission. Iran International quoted him as saying Iran would deliver a “crushing response” if attacked by the United States.
According to the report, Moghaddam said Iran could sink a US warship in the Sea of Oman, strike US bases in the region, and target American forces, including “soldier, officer, or general.”
He also said Iran’s attacks might not remain limited to the Middle East and could reach the US itself, adding that “Trump’s own palace” could one day be hit, in an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago….

Mr. Trump is not always in Florida….he doesn’t vaca as often as biden did. But others are often there at his home….sometimes family, employees, and security. Besides the surrounding areas.
Whether iran can hit with bombs this area of the world, may not be easily ascertained. But, muzzies like to make threats which they are incapable of executing.

Bombast is their stock in trade, actual bombs are not so effective

Trump is a huge disappointment. His approach to both Iran and Gaza is delusional, disastrous and dangerous It shows a total lack of understanding of Islam, its goals and its methods. He treats them as though he is dealing with honourable rational people. They are not – they are scheming devious lying monsters. They are infinitely patient and their timeline is measured in centuries, not four year election cycles. They view negotiations as weakness, and only respect strength. To them cease fires are purely a time to regroup and rearm before resuming the fight, and all agreements are temporary and non binding to be broken whenever it suits them. He must exterminate the mullahs and their thugs who are slaughtering the Persian people, rebelling only because Trump gave them a false sense of hope. He now has a moral obligation to save them and help them to eliminate Islam from Iran.
His Gaza plan entrenches the very actors responsible for the horror and will simply ensure that the problem continues in perpetuity. Inviting the Palestinian Authority and Turkey and indeed any other moslem country to participate is insanity and makes a mockery of the massive sacrifice in blood and treasure Israel has made to ensure its survival. Gaza too should become Islam-free and be returned to to Eretz Israel, its rightful owner.
The free world is facing an existential threat from the evil coalition of Islam and Marxism. It is a fight we cannot avoid and kicking the problem down the road is only going to make it worse. I was once hopeful that we could eliminate Islam from Iran and Gaza as two small steps on the long road to wiping out islam globally one country at a time. Trump‘s current policies in the Middle East have dashed that hope.
On many fronts Trump is a great President, certainly the greatest in living memory when dealing with domestic policies, but he has a huge blind spot in his dealings with Islam. It seems his massive ego and a narcissistic belief in himself as the master of the “Art of the Deal” is leading us astray and to miss a golden opportunity to defeat or at least seriously damage one of the two great evils facing us.

I agree, Trump has been slow to act and gives these extremists ore respect than they deserve. I think he is reluctant to be seen as starting another endless war.
Greg says
Do they have a MANPAD on site?

Threats? That’s a good reason to absolutely flatten the Ayatollah’s Palace so free people can build a new one which represents their aspirations and freedom from the tyranny of the past.
And don’t forget to flatten the seminaries of Qom where they manufacture future Ayatollahs and the rest of the cleric parasites.
What a system! Indoctrinate the people to believe some figure in the universe spoke to guy in a cave that whoever didn’t believe in IT would go to some ridiculous but gastly place where IT would practically salivate with delight, enjoying the torturing of infidels.
Manufacture a book over two centuries from various scraps and declare it the word of IT, unchanged since before it existed(like the Far Mosque). And in that book were all the instructions and dictates to streamline the sacking, looting, and enslaving of other cultures – and the direct expression that only those who believed in IT were worthy to live.
Apparently IT gave no instructions about how ITs religious leaders should be chosen, but human ingenuity alway finds a way to skim the booty in the name of IT. Like all groups who want the booty controlled to favor them, entrance to the “religious guild”, the clerics and Mullahs, had to be organized. And they have been skimming booty and Zakat for 1400 years.
Keeping the women down, adopting cult methods of obligatory prayer reinforcenent 5 times a day, giving men control and punishment over women, and offering additional sex slaves to men who worked as the raiders of other cultures, kept IT’s raiders humming until other cultures became strong enough to defeat Islam.
Orthodox Islam is in a crisis, no longer viable as a raiding band and in the ME, without oil, embarrassingly dependent. Yet even Iran’s jihad-oriented leaders have been able to ruin things while having abundant oil. The Iranian people have languished under evil for 46 years and just recently tens of thousands were killed under the Ayatollah’s direction. Karma is overdue.

They couldn’t even hit Israel – and that was before their entire airforce was taken out, as were many of their missile bases. But here they are, threatening to launch a missile at Mar-a-Lago
I’d much like Iran to strike first, so that we have no option but to start the war, and end all those worthless negotiations Witkoff is having
Taffy says
The only way that they can hit Mar-a-Lago is if the attack comes from within Florida.
OLD GUY says
Taffy I think your right, any attack here in the USA will come from within by terrorist already in the country. Thank you Joe B.
Dave says
We need to believe this man
John1 says
I’m sure Trump is shaking in his boots. 😭
Taffy says
So, in his State of the Union Address, Trump reiterated his desire to make a deal with Iran, claiming that the Iranians have not yet said the magic words, namely, that they are abandoning their nuclear program. After spending the money to move two carrier groups and Air Force assets to the ME, will Trump capitulate if the Ayatollah promises not to resume their nuclear program? Of course the Ayatollah will say “yes” and then kick all the inspectors out of Iran once the U.S. military leaves.
I would normally think that playing the magic word game is a ruse by Trump, but the way he handled Gaza, makes me believe that it is not. Striking Iran NOW, when they are weakest, with an aim for regime change, is the best move for the long run. If the U.S. does not act, Israel may; it is to their distinct advantage to get rid of the Ayatollah and have Pahlavi there instead.

If they could, they would have already.

Most likely, Namer.
