Israel surrounded.

I failed to find my first post-retirement relationship no matter what I did: apps, set-ups, dancing, even serendipity. So I decided that maybe the world is telling me that for now at least, I needed to turn my attention elsewhere.

Peloni:  Fascinating discussion between Shoshana Bryen and Stephen Bryen regarding the impact of the US operation in Iran on Russia and China, as it demonstrated the success, capabilities and reach of the US airforce and stealth technology in the context of real world battlefield against the Russian and Chinese aerial defenses in Iran.  Also discussed is Mexican drug lords, US missile defenses, and a small bit on the attack on US base in Qatar as it was announced.

Peloni:  David Wurmser discusses the nuance which distinguishes Israeli and American aims following the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.  He also warns against concluding the war with a ceasefire with the Iranian regime as the lack of moral clarity will have serious and destructive consequences for the US.  Notably, this is the path which the US has chosen to take, for the moment at least.  Also see second video (10min) discussing the Iranian attack on US base in Qatar at the bottom.

Peloni:  While being interviewed (15min beginning at 4hr 30min mark) by Hannity during special programming about the US attack on Iran, Mark Levin explains that Trump is an historic figure, and that more trust should be extended to him.  Contrasting with this, Mark notes the betrayal of Bill Clinton which led to North Korea becoming a nuclear armed state.  He also recalls that Obama cut a deal so that Iran could ultimately become a nuclear armed state before Trump happily ripped up that deal.  Following this, Biden actually funded the Iranians as they proceeded with their nuclear weapons development.   With all of this in mind, Mark reminds us of the fact that the wise and judicious use of the military for good and specific purposes will actually result in peace, not war.

Peloni:  The factional animosity between the parties in Iran represents a significant hurdle facing the Iranians on their bid toward establishing a new state.  As Mandel explains, it will be important for the Iranian people to meet this hurdle while facing off against the interests of the IRGC.  This hurdle will however be made extensively less complicated if the minorities regions, which Mandel proposes be given autonomy, are instead granted their own state altogether.  By doing so, the Persian majority would have a free hand to reestablish order in their own community under whatever form of govt they might ultimately choose while eliminating the influence of the IRGC.  It would also lessen the significance of the possibility of the the Persians choosing either a leadership or govt which is less than supportive of the US and the West.

If managed wisely, the fall of the Islamic Republic could catalyze a historic realignment of the Middle East in favor of peace, stability, and freedom.

The event that would be the most likely to eliminate Iran’s nuclear ambitions – and curb its imperial drive to dominate the Sunni Arab world and destroy Israel – is regime change. However, toppling the Islamic Republic would be only the beginning. To advance American national security and prevent regional chaos or the rise of another authoritarian regime, we must plan now for what would come next in that event.

Peloni:  Riveting speech by Danny Danon in the UN as he brings receipts condemning the attempt of the butchers in Iran to play the victim.

Peloni:  The various minorities in Iran should each pursue control of the territories on which they each reside within Iran, and upon having done so, the relative minorities should each declare these territories as independent from the Iranian state.  Freeing the dominion over the minority regions by an overriding ruling organization or authoritarian will protect and empower the relevant minorities, but it will also diffuse the centralized power and authority which made possible the Ayatollahs’ dreams of world domination over the past fifty years remotely possible.

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 threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.”

Peloni:  Yes, regime change is vital in the wake of the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.  Indeed, the brazen resolve to possess nuclear weapons by the Armageddon seeking Twelver tribe which populates the halls of power in Iran demonstrates how necessary how necessary regime change in Iran is needed.  Either by efforts from abroad or by revolution from within Iran itself, Khameini’s rule must come to an end and the sooner the better.

Iranians in exile are wishing and hoping, and hoping and wishing, that Israel will succeed in its demolition derby, taking apart bit by bit every aspect of the Islamic Republic’s military machine, so weakening it that the rulers can only with great difficulty suppress their domestic enemies should those enemies begin to demonstrate against them, and so humiliated in the eyes of the world that the number of those domestic enemies grows, as people have taken to saying, “exponentially.”

Question: What nation or people is the only one not permitted by others to win and actually be victorious in war?

Answer: Jews and the Jew of the Nations, Israel, of course.

It’s admittedly difficult when, as billions in the Christian West have been taught for millennia, that Jews were “G_d killers,” poisoners of wells, children of the Devil, etc.; forcibly expelled, burned at the stake, ghettoized, and so forth, seeing them in anything other than an extremely negative light.

The US’s desire to pull out of the Middle East has empowered Tehran and its proxies over the last decade – is that all over now?

This image grabbed from a United Nations video shows Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi addressing the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on June 20, 2025. Top European diplomats are meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Geneva on June 20 to discuss Iran’s nuclear program

President Trump’s decision to launch attacks on three of Iran’s major nuclear enrichment sites took place after negotiations in Geneva collapsed. Iran’s foreign minister met with the foreign ministers of Germany, Britain, France, known as the E3, plus the EU. The E-3 and EU group pressed the Iranians to engage in negotiations with the United States. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi said Iran would only consider talks of some kind (not with the United States) after Israel halted its attacks on Iran and was punished. The E-3 tried to sell Araghchi and the Iranians on a formula, not supported by Washington, that would impose strict nuclear inspections and other similar measures as a “solution” to the impasse, disregarding President Trump’s policy of no enrichment of uranium by Iran. Araghchi wasn’t buying the European suggestions.
