Iran refused any movement on the only topic on which Iran was willing to talk.  So the ‘negotiations’ would appear to have been more of an Iranian dictation to US. In the few hours which have passed since then, Iranian provocation have continued (see tweets below).  The Iranians have no interest in avoiding war – they are seeking a confrontation with the US.  Will this be the weekend in which their fantasies are fulfilled?

Iran FM spokesman Ismail Baghaei:

"Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. in Muscat were concluded with an agreement between the two sides to continue the talks.

The parties, while explaining their perspectives and demands, reached an understanding to make decisions regarding… pic.twitter.com/Ld4VnFSLYY

When Islamists get good value for their money.

Qatar is that nasty little emirate on the Persian Gulf, owned by the Al-Thani family, that owes its hold on the world’s attention solely to the fact that it sits on the third largest reservoir of natural gas in the world. Culturally, it does not exist. Qatar has made hundreds of billions of dollars from this accident of geology, and some of those billions are used to corrupt institutions and individuals in the Western world, to make them susceptible to Qatar’s propaganda campaigns and to cause them to overlook Qatar’s role both as the chief financier of Hamas and as the place of luxurious refuge for the senior Hamas leadership.

Harold Rhodes provides a contrasting perspective to the view put forward yesterday by Martin Sherman who called for sectioning Iran into its regional districts.  Rhodes makes it clear that any attempt to split Iran would be met with opposition by the Iranian people who identify themselves as Iranians more so than their relative ethnic identities.

Peloni:  Not only is this true, but it is only possible because of US support for the Jihadi govt in Demascus while also overlooking the many recurring slaughters of minorities over the past year.

By Christine Douglass-Williams | Feb 4, 2026

A leopard cannot change its spots. Why would anyone think that Syria’s jihadist President Ahmed Al-Sharaa (aka Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) would suddenly transform into a civilized leader and protect the rights of religious minorities in Syria? A critical new mini-documentary tells the truth that’s being largely hidden from the world.

Peloni:  The US should hold firm to its full list of demands from Iran as previously outlined.  This Obama-esque framework secures the Mullahs in Iran, while ignoring American, Western, and Israeli interesests.  Pursuing ‘Peace in Our Time” with Iran is not the solution to the problem with Iran – it is the reason there is a problem with Iran.  Either the Mullahs surrender to the full list of US demands or the US should follow thru on its long ago stated promise that the US is locked and loaded to deal with the threat from Iran.

BREAKING: Al Jazeera claims to have obtained the US-Iran deal framework proposed by Turkey, Qatar and Egypt:

1. Iran agrees to commit to zero uranium enrichment for 3 years, and then agrees to under 1.5% enrichment after that

2. Its stockpile of Highly Enriched Uranium would be…

Peloni: It is inexplicable that Trump called on Israel to end the conflict quickly, beginning more than six months before he even won the 2024 US election, and yet today, he holds Israel in a state of frozen conflict with the promulgators of the October 7 slaughter simply to satisfy the demands of the Arab states who notoriously played the role of funding and facilitating that same October 7 slaughter.  This sword of Damocles needs to be ripped down from overhead of the IDF soldiers whose lives are placed under daily threat of being the next casualty in support of a fantastical peace process which was to have seen Hamas disarmed nearly 5 months ago.  This slow rolling and ongoing tragedy has to be ended.

Peloni:   Why would the US accept such open harassments.  Ignoring such piratical tactics only invites more significant attempts of piracy.  Noting this, it should be little wonder that Iran seized two tankers in recent hours, along with a million barrels of crude oil and the crew of the two vessels.  The US needs to ignore its pleading Arab partners and teach Iran a lesson, and that should be more than the loss of  a single drone threatening a US warship.

Iranian harassment of US ships prompts military reaction, increasing already-strained tensions between the two countries.

Israel’s image and power has increased dramatically in the last several years. It was one of the most powerful states in the Middle East before October 7, 2023, but since the ceasefire with Hamas came into effect and the return of all hostages was finally accomplished in 2026, Israel’s shadow looms large over the region. Of course, one of the most important factors in Israel’s arsenal is its very close alliance with the US, despite no formal treaty.

Peloni:  Gun rights are a hallowed gift, stemming from English Common Law and enshrined in the US Constitution as the Second Amendment and affirmed in the US as described so well in Janet’s brilliant essay below.  Being able to defend one’s self, one’s loved ones, one’s community and one’s nation without the dependency upon state security or the armed forces provides the individual with a sense of sovereign influence upon protecting the right of dignity of men.  Jews in particular should always avail themselves of these protective measures to the limit of the law, be they in America, or in Israel, or somewhere else.  Notably, it is all too often that a terrorist in Israel is subdued by the incidental presence of an armed civilian with the means to do what needs doing in order to protect themselves and the innocents surrounding them from certain harm.  Knowledge of fire arm safety, utility and responsibility, alongside a dedication to defend those things most precious to us all, should be used to raise attention and support for gun rights among people in general, but the relative Jewish populations in particular, especially in an age in which we have come to be familiar with the scenes such took place on Bondi Beach to serve as reference to what comes from having one gun too few to stop a public slaughter from taken place right in front of us.  In the age of expanding Jew Hatred bathing the world in the wake of October 7, I am recalled of the phrase, “Every Jew a .22″, a phrase from another age and penned by Rabbi Meir Kahane.  What is considered by many to be a scandalous concept, ie a Jew capable and armed for of self defense, this phrase never lost its relevance, but it has never been so relevant as it stands today.

Over the decades, it’s become increasingly clear: the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right to bear arms.

Over the past twenty years, the interpretation of the Second Amendment—which guarantees American citizens the right to bear arms—has been shaped by many significant cases. What is clear through all of them is the strong acknowledgment of the citizen’s right to bear arms as an individual right. Right-to-carry laws, whether enacted by state or federal agencies, have had to respect the importance of this individual right.

Kelleigh Nelson:  Update: The SAVE Act passed in the House. It is being heavily promoted in the Senate and Senior Senator John Thune says it will be voted on. It is dangerous piece of legislation for American citizens.

The SAVE Act actually nullifies what Senator Jacob Howard said when he introduced the 14^th Amendment’s citizenship clause, “Its grant of citizenship would not include persons born in the United States who are foreigners or aliens.”

I would urge everyone to reread the article from September 3, 2024. The Save Act is a precursor to the National ID.

In April the Supreme court hears the case on anchor babies and the 14^th amendment.  If they pass this law that negates what Sen. Howard said, will that make anchor babies automatic citizens.  So what will the high court do?

Peter Schweizer, author of The Invisible Coup, breaks down how foreign powers and elites, particularly from China, exploit U.S. birthright citizenship and surrogacy systems to gain long-term political influence.
