In an important video on TOV Channel, Dr. Mordechai Kedar suggests that Donald Trump entered the confrontation with Iran intending to exert strong pressure but ultimately retreated because Iran and its allies demonstrated their ability to inflict significant economic costs on the United States and its partners.
Peloni: Avi Abelow raises an alarm over the relevance of European countries having nuclear weapons when they are about to become Muslim majority nations along with the alarming display of domination being fashioned to cement the power of the Red-Green alliance over NYC.

The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City was already a deeply worrying sign, a clear indication of the dangerous direction the city of New York, where I grew up, is heading. A socialist-Islamist now leads America’s largest city, the financial capital in the world, a status now in clear danger of being lost.
Peloni: It is very disappointing that it has taken over a year for these records to be released, and there are still no explanations as to why there has been no accountability for what took place during the Covid Scam.
What crimes have Western governments committed against their citizens?

In her last day in office, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released this statement:
Peloni: It is relevant to note that peace talks including the leadership of the LAF with Israel broke down this morning. The goal line of having the LAF act as an honest independent party is going to be Iran’s failsafe in these negotiations, and this was always going to be the case. The way to eliminate Iran’s dominiation of Lebanon lies in dealing with the Iranian leadership in Iran, not in having the complicit LAF dealing with the Iranian proxy in Lebanon. Cut off the Iranian funding, THEN follow thru in Lebanon.
The US had pressured Israel to adhere to a real ceasefire with Hezbollah. In the past, the ceasefires were only in name, and strikes continued against one another.

A new round of Israel-Lebanon talks began in Washington on June 23 in a complex environment because Iran is trying to salvage its Hezbollah proxy.
Iran has tied the conflict in Lebanon to the Iran talks in Switzerland. Therefore, the US has pressured Israel to adhere to a real ceasefire with Hezbollah.
Peloni: David Brody makes some very important reflections while considering recent events with Trump’s Iran deal. First, it is important to note that it is Trump’s deal, and that no matter how well or how poor Vance applies himself, the current negotiations are entirely Trump’s undertaking. That is why he has repeatedly made unexpected pronouncements regarding the negotiations. Beyond this, Vance is placing his entire political credibility on the line base on how he proceeds in this negotiation, even beyond whether the negotiations are successful or not. Notably, Vance has played his cards thus far in hosting this gambit in a manner which might be argued to diminish his political hopes. Also Brody indicates below, I have never forgotten Trump’s dead pan jest about blaming this entire fiasco on Vance, as I too did not interpret that Trump’s ironic statement was actually intended to garner any laughs. Regardless of the earnest efforts by Trump and Vance to gain Iran’s support for any deal, I still remain convinced that these attempts will ultimately prove fruitless as the Iranians are predictably who they are.
So in two months time, this will likely leave Trump with the unenviable choice of either punting further with a further extension on the farcical negotiations, surrendering entirely to Iran while claiming a faux victory, or resuming the war while still in need of some ground force to bring about any victory, and this choice will come just shortly before the looming midterms. Only one of these options would leave Vance in a better light, and that would require the Iranians offering him a clear political victory just before the crucial US midterms.

JD Vance is now front and center in the Iran negotiations, but let’s be clear about something: this is not really about JD Vance freelancing foreign policy. This is about Donald Trump.
Peloni: There is an important conversation to be had regarding this topic. Should Israel reveal its nuclear program to the world in hopes of providing a deterrence to its enemies? Comments would be appreciated.

And the box in this case contains the official Israeli policy of never admitting to being in possession of nuclear bombs. This policy needs to be re-thought.
Peloni: Well, that didn’t go well.

Peloni: Once again, it is being proposed that Israel should TRUST Lebanon to contain or control Hezbollah. While this gambit would allow Israel and Washington to each save face, it belies the reality that Lebanon has been complicit in supporting Hezbollah for decades. This only way that Hezbollah can be ‘disarmed’ is to first see their masters in Iran fall from power, and thereby end the subsidies by which Hezbollah maintains its financial support. The advent of cheap drones menacing the world makes even the elimination of missiles not enough of a solution to protect the North. Lebanon must be freed of its Iranian masters, and instead, Washington has seen fit to allow Iran to raise significant revenue streams. Who do you think will receive the first check from the revitalized Iranian cophers? I think the answer to this question is quite clear
The interests of Lebanon and Israel align on the core issue of disarming Hezbollah.
Hussain Abdul-Hussain
Months ago, I argued that Israel had reformulated the traditional Arab peace proposal. The old formula of “land for peace” held that Israel would cede territory in exchange for Arab recognition and normalized ties. Israel has flipped the formula to “peace for land.” The Arabs would first make peace and disarm militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah, with Israeli territorial concessions to follow.
Peloni: Avi Abelow articulates so well the core feature which brings us strength and which makes us powerful: unity.
The battles over the draft, national identity, Judea and Samaria, against terrorism, and against international pressure are all part of the struggle over whether the Jewish people will continue embracing their national revival or retreat from it.

The news in Israel is a worrying surge of haredi protests over new legislation to address the IDF draft. Roads are blocked. There are violent clashes with the police. A Supreme Court judge was attacked in his home.
Thousands of haredi Jews are protesting against sanctions implemented by the Attorney General.

Ugly, but all too real. The Mamdani machine continues delivering in New York City with new ‘Squad’ members who make Omar seem moderate including one who celebrated Oct 7 and called for ‘Death to America’ getting the nod.
This intense space race for geopolitical influence, resource extraction, and the establishment of standards for future exploration is not about proving what is possible but about securing a foothold.

During Operation Epic Fury, Iran used Chinese space assets and satellite imagery to track and target American military bases and operations in the Middle East. The Financial Times reported that Iran had secretly purchased a satellite from Earth Eye and ground-based signal-processing services from Emposat, both Chinese companies. Together, these purchases gave Iran an advantage it was not previously known to possess.
Naturally, Beijing denies allowing the use of commercial space systems for military purposes. But these developments raise a serious concern: given the ambitious pace of China’s space program, it may soon be able to wage war from space.

Iran: Has Trump lost the plot?
The floated proposal makes no sense. Worse, it is dangerous. It would reward a maniacal regime not for reforming, not for compensating its victims, and not for abandoning terror as an instrument of statecraft. – Christopher Ruddy, CEO, Newsmax Media, June 16, 2026
So, the infamous US-Iran MOU has been signed. As far as Israel is concerned, the deed is done. The betrayal is complete. What remains is but to confront its consequences.” Read more…
Peloni: This is the point which I have been making for some time now.
Trump having created the linkage between Israel responding to Hezbollah attacks in Lebanon and US negotiations with Iran only serves to secure the Lebanese people in the grip of Iran and its occupying proxy force, Hezbollah. While shading Israel efforts to end Hezbollah’s dominion over South Lebanon as being Israel trying to ‘kill everybody’, Trump has effectively turned his back on the growing number of people in Lebanon demanding a future free of the Iranian tyranny which holds the Lebanese Christian community as dhimmis. Trump also similarly ignored the cries of minority communities in Syria as he promoted the Islamist govt of Jolani which instituted its own tyrannical genocidal attacks over the local Syrian minorities. It seems relevant that this is also reminiscent of Trump’s efforts to safeguard the IRGC over both the freedom loving people of Iran, as well as the people of the entire region who simply want to throw off the Iranian suzerainty that Trump is inexplicably securing in place. The support for such tyrannical regimes as these isolates and diminishes dissenting voice, and these voices are the real source from which any chance of peace in the region might arise. This is the point which Trump should be championing rather than ignoring and thereby crushing the aspirations of those who earnestly want peace in the region.

Many of the Shi’a in Lebanon are now looking for a political alternative to Hezbollah, that has dragged them into a disastrous war with Israel. Hezbollah’s war against Israel that began on October 8, 2023, has led to the destruction of many buildings of the Shi’a stronghold in Dahiyeh, southern Beirut, and hundreds of thousands of Shi’a have now been displaced from eastern Lebanon. They seek an alternative to Hezbollah, one that will not be a proxy of Iran, but reflect only the interests of Lebanese Shi’a. More on the diminished support for Hezbollah in Lebanon can be found here: “Economic strain weakens Hezbollah support base in Lebanon, ITIC assessment finds,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, June 21, 2026:
