Background: U.S. Government Warnings

Iran’s calls of “Death to America” over the past 47 years of its Islamic regime have never been mere rhetoric. U.S. intelligence agencies have long warned that Tehran’s ideological messaging and covert networks could inspire or enable attacks inside the U.S.

The US victories in World War II (WWII) over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan offer profound lessons on transforming militant dictatorships, led by cult-like virtually religious ideologues.

Leonard Grunstein | Mar 17, 2026

The terrorist theocratic Iranian Regime, with unabated nuclear ambitions, in a long-standing state of war of aggression against the US and Israel, is now facing extinction. Coordinated airstrikes by the U.S. (Operation Epic Fury) and Israel (Operation Roaring Lion), targeting the Regime and IRGC leadership, ballistic missile launchers, nuclear sites, military sites, air defenses and naval assets, have been devastatingly successful.

However, notwithstanding the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Regime rejected surrender and continues its aggression with missile/drone attacks against U.S. bases and sites in the region and civilian targets in Israel, as well as the Gulf Arab States.

Peloni: The pretense that an Armageddonis terror regime which has chanted death to America for 50yrs is not a threat to the US while it builds nuclear bombs, along with the missiles capable of delivering these bombs to cities around the US, was always based on something between political rhetoric and fantastical non-realities.  The threat lies in their attempts at maturing the capabilities to fulfill the hopes enshrined in their chants of Death to America.  Some will say that this failed attack on Diego Garcia was the first shot demonstrating this truth, but the reality is that the shots against America began decades ago, in the murder of American servicemen and American citizens across the globe.  Indeed, the slaughter of thousands of Americans demonstrated the intent of the Iranian regime, even as they have bankrupted their nation trying to develop capabilities to fulfill the greater realization of that intent.

“Iran is not a threat.”

Iran just proved it can strike over 2,300 miles—hitting Diego Garcia with missiles it insisted didn’t exist. This wasn’t a test. It was a revelation.

Cliff Kincaid interviews the brilliant Joan Swirsky as she describes “the actual pandemic of anti-Semitism” which has “made seemingly normal people,” including commentators like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, “side with the murderers of 1,200 innocent Israelis” on October 7, 2023, and in Iran were developing nuclear weapons to destroy the West — before the USA and Israel went to war. Other topics examined include George Soros, Obama, the Deep State, and Jeffrey Epstein.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | March 20, 2026

Watch the video by clicking photo below and read the full original Op-Ed here:

The annual $3.8 billion US investment in Israel (misperceived as “foreign aid”) is the most profitable strategic investment in US history. This video explores how Israel serves as a unique economic and defense force-multiplier for the US, yielding an outsized Return-on-Investment. From upgrading the F-35 and surging its exports, to providing intelligence worth “five CIAs,” the partnership saves the US billions in R&D and replaces the need for multiple aircraft carriers. Discover why this alliance is a critical, mutually-beneficial two-way street for US national security and prosperity.

The language of nuance has become a cover for cowardice, moral inversion, and paralysis in the face of terror and Iran’s ambitions.

The Pretense of “Nuance”

Let’s stop pretending.

What we are witnessing is not confusion or nuance. It is cowardice—cloaked in sophistication, marketed as restraint, and defended as wisdom.

Peloni: Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss the current events in the war in Iran and beyond.  Mike addresses the West’s lack of competence in dealing with the Islamist threat on its own shores while also provides an interesting explanation for how there are two clocks counting down which will decide if Trump will declare victory after achieving it or in lieu of achieving it.  He also argues that while he hopes to see the fall of the IRGC, if they are not defeated in this war, there are still many important tools which can defeat them long term.  The second half of the program addresses the campaign in Lebanon and the fallout surrounding the Yemeni Fields Affair.

Peloni:  A city dependent upon stability and economic investment is being rocked by the rigors of war and a reluctance to do more than adopt a defensive posture.  Will Dubai survive this challenge or will they once again show themselves to be the quintessential resilient nation, which previously survived the 2008 economic crisis and the Covid shutdown?

Since the outbreak of the war against Iran on February 28, 2026, leading Qatari media outlets, chief of them Al-Jazeera, have continued to serve as mouthpieces of the Iranian regime, despite the fact that Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Gulf states, including a few at U.S. military facilities in Qatar itself. These media outlets provide Iranian officials with an open platform, without reservation or criticism; present the Iranian narrative as fact; echo and amplify Iranian conspiracy theories; and promote pro-Iranian messaging.[1]

Peloni:  How about this turn about?  The opposition to support the US given the nominal request being made by Trump was itself rather revealing about the state of the alliance between the US and its erstwhile allies.  Even as they have come to capitulate in supporting Trump’s request, it is a remarkable distance of support and capabilities to what Israel has demonstrated in recent weeks and over the past year.  Of course, partnerships indicate common interests and like minded values.  While no two nations are a perfect match for such things, Europe in particular has demonstrated once again that it has meandered far from where it once stood in decades past, even as they were at the time far from a lock-step supporter of US leadership.  As Trump noted, there will be consequences for Europe in light of these changes, even with their move to finally acquiesce to Trump’s request.

Well, that was quick.

Score one for Donald Trump. European leaders—including Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron—initially rejected his request to help escort commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump responded by openly questioning America’s commitment to NATO’s collective defense, pointedly referring to these countries as “allies” in quotation marks and calling the relationship a “one-way street.” Speaking to reporters at the White House, he framed the Hormuz standoff as a “litmus test” of NATO’s reliability.

A revolution by the tribes in Jordan may happen. The Palestinians are controlling Jordan in an unexpected way. The Gulf states are finished, except for Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman. The Emir of Kuwait’s fate is unknown, and the ruling families are fleeing abroad in most Gulf states, along with dangerous strikes using weapons of mass destruction by Iran. All the details from the “Rabbi of the Arabian Peninsula.”

* Will an armed revolution or a sudden coup by the Jordanian tribes against the king occur? Everything is possible.

Peloni:  An interesting interview by Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Dr. David Wurmser, senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy, in which they examine the transformative shift in the Middle East following the elimination of Ali Larijani, a central figure in Iran’s regime.  Wurmser explains that Larijani was the key coordinator of Iran’s coercive security apparatus and explains how his removal brings the regime significantly closer towards collapsing. As Israel continues to systematically dismantle Iran’s leadership network, the conditions are becoming ever increasingly favorable for the Iranian people to rise up and reclaim their country.  Beyond this, the discussion expounds upon broader geopolitical realities which are emerging.  This includes an analysis of shifting alliances among Arab nations amid growing frustration with European inaction. Wurmser also explains President Trump’s sharp criticism of NATO, emphasizing how the United States continues to bear the overwhelming burden of global security, while Europe faces a deepening civilizational crisis.
