“China has always been the biggest buyer” of Iranian oil, especially after American sanctions on Iran were expanded in 2019. China gets Iranian crude oil at a discount “of about 8% compared to the market price, because Iran has few other buyers.” Saeed Ghasseminejad, senior adviser on Iran from the Foundation for the Defense of […]
Netanyahu thanks Trump for ‘moving support’ after Trump condemns ‘witch-hunt’ in Israel against ‘great wartime’ PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a corruption trial on three charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The corruption charges have caused a political crisis that sent Israelis to the polls five times in less than four years. The case has dragged on for years, while Netanyahu says he’s being politically targeted. From […]
Trump has enabled the Islamic regime in Iran to have a new lease on life
In stopping the Israelis, Trump was just kicking the can down the road. As long as the Islamic regime in Iran exists, it will continue to wage jihad on Israel and the U.S. “Israel reportedly planned to strike 15 key regime targets when Trump told Netanyahu not to respond to Iran missiles this morning,” Times […]
Trump’s Diktat, and His Lashing Out at Israel
When Trump imposed his diktat on Israel and Iran, requiring both parties to agree to a ceasefire, Israel agreed, reluctantly, and Iran did so, relievedly. At the time, the IDF was conducting the most ferocious assault of the 12-day war on military targets in Tehran. But Israel promptly stopped its attacks when the ceasefire went […]
Why Didn’t Oil Prices Skyrocket Over Iran War?
Two answers. The media, as I noted earlier, remains disappointed that oil prices didn’t shoot up. So do the WW3 influencers who were promising us that oil prices would crush the economy. Didn’t happen. Why not? One answer is that the oil markets weren’t on Twitter. The smart money was that it would be a […]
World War III Was Underwhelming
Unfortunately we have bigger problems than World War III. Over the last 4-5 years, there’s been a certain contingent of social media influencers warning that World War III was coming. They went into really high gear around Iran. WW3 proved rather underwhelming. The Russia-Ukraine war wasn’t World War III. It was World War I with […]
Iranian sniper in Alabama and Hizballah-linked jihadi in Minnesota arrested as Trump warns of violent sleeper cells
Violent jihadist sleeper cells, violent drug cartels, human traffickers and every predator and murderer walking the streets of America can be blamed on Joe Biden and his Democrats. Much the same can be said of every Western country that supported and still supports open-door immigration policies: this is all the doing of the left. Victims […]
Prime Minister Netanyahu hails Israel’s victory over Iran, thanks President Trump
Despite Trump’s frenetic tweets and comments regarding the ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response has been measured and balanced, expressing gratitude toward Trump and calling him Israel’s “greatest friend in the White House.” Given Joe Biden and his administration, the cup is indeed half full. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hails Israel’s victory over Iran […]
President Trump Kept 30 Years of Broken Promises
For 30 years, Democrats and some Republicans lied about stopping Iran. Trump did it. “Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a […]
Iran Is Not Iraq, the American Raid Is Not a War
West Point Professor John Spencer takes issue with all those pundits and self-proclaimed security experts who insist that the American bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites is akin to the war we waged against Iran for eight years, and, they warn us, is leading us inexorably into another costly “forever war.” Spencer explains all the […]
