John Fetterman, the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, has consistently upheld the right of Israel to defend itself, using whatever means the IDF deems appropriate, and has vocally supported the embattled Jewish state more than any other senator from either party. He’s a curious fellow, often seen wearing his shorts and pullovers, a 6’8” apparition as […]
Iran’s foreign minister was set to bribe US with hundreds of millions in deals for American firms in nixed speech
How many Americans and other Westerners are willing to engage in a deal with the devil for money? Perhaps more than expected. Take, for instance, the hundreds of millions in Qatari money that has transformed American campuses. Although Iran is generally considered to be worse, money talks in Doha as much as it does in […]
Russia ratifies agreement on strategic partnership with Iran
I wrote in January: “Russia and Iran have signed a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement, ‘pledging to promote a new fair and sustainable multipolar world order.’ The two countries have been staunch allies in Russia’s war with Ukraine, with Iran supplying Russia with drones. Now Iran needs favors from Russia in the form of military intelligence, […]
Trump Blocks Israel from Striking Iran
Having declared repeatedly, both as a candidate, and as president, that he will never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, President Trump has been behaving strangely. Not only has he refused, at this point, to agree to join Israel in a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, but he has not furnished Israel with the 30,000-pound […]
Even Setting Back Iran’s Nuclear Program ‘Only Temporarily’ Would Be Well Worth It
Israel is considering striking Iran’s nuclear facilities on its own. Their considerations are discussed here: “Israel Still Eyeing a Limited Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities,” Algemeiner, April 19, 2025: “We have intelligence from reliable sources that Israel is planning a major attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. This stems from dissatisfaction with ongoing diplomatic efforts regarding […]
Israel May Still Strike Iran Without American Support
It must be maddening for Israel never to be certain where things stand with the Americans on the subject of Iran. Without informing the Israelis, Trump decided to have Steve Witkoff negotiate — not directly, but via Omani interlocutors — with the Iranians at the Omani Embassy in Rome over curtailing its nuclear program. We […]
Netanyahu vows again: ‘Israel will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons’
International Atomic Energy Agency Chief Rafael Grossi just warned that Iran has “the pieces…like a puzzle,” and is “not far” from a nuclear bomb. The Prime Minister’s Office of Benjamin Netanyahu has released a statement (courtesy of the Israel Government Press Office): For over a decade, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has led the global campaign […]
IAEA chief: Iran has ‘the pieces..like a puzzle,’ is ‘not far’ from a nuclear bomb
In 2018, Iran violated the Obama nuclear deal, and did so again by its own admission in 2020. Then in 2021, Iran unveiled a new underground “missile city,” as Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp Commander Hossein Salami issued a threat: “These missiles have great destructive power and can bypass the enemy’s electronic warfare systems.” In 2022, Israel gave the […]
Iran rejects accusation of links to Muslim criminal gang in Sweden that attacked Jews and Israelis
Iran has been known to target Israelis and Jews in Europe. Its terror network operates around the world. According to written evidence submitted by the Community Security Trust in the UK: Antisemitism and extreme anti-Israel activity are commonly found in Iranian foreign policy filtered down from the highest echelons of the Iranian republic. This has repeatedly involved […]
Israel, America, and Negotiating with Iran
With Israel concerned that the Trump administration may cut a weak new nuclear deal with Iran, one way out of such a scenario could be a theoretical Mossad operation that kills the key Iranian official who ordered 400 ballistic missiles fired on Israel in 2024, think-tank sources conjectured to The Jerusalem Post. More on this possibility, […]
