Peloni:  Interesting how quickly Pulte’s nomination came to be replaced in the wake of the extension on FISA warrantless surveillance failed to pass.  Curiously, given Gabbard’s notorious penchant for poor judgement, demonstrated both before her appointment and afterwards, I thought it would be an easy move to replace her obvious bias in the role of the DIA.

Senators largely spoke highly of Trump’s pick to become the next director of National Intelligence (DNI) Thursday, but some criticized President Donald Trump for not nominating him sooner.

Peloni:  This was an important step forward for the Israel’s alliance with Cyprus and Greece.  Note the relevance in timing between this development and Erdogan’s recent Jew Hatred commentary.  Not only does Erdogan see this project as a threat to his illegal occupation of Cyprus, but it also challenges Erdogan’s desired monopoly of control over energy pipelines in the region.

The progressive establishment in the United States maintains a transactional syndicate with radical Islamist factions to lock down institutional power. This structural cartel sacrifices Western secular principles, democratic consistency, and basic human rights on the altar of raw electoral survival.

Peloni:  The only reason why this matter has yet to be resolved is due to the lack of resolve on the part of the American govt to adequately demand the extradition of Ahlam Tamimi to face American justice for her crimes.  Notably, the Americans demonstrated their rank use of personalized sanctions under the Biden administration when they placed sanctions on specific Israeli citizens, something now being mimicked by the EU, and more surmounting pressure than even that was employed by the Biden administration to forestall the delivery of weapon systems to Israel, even after payment had been made for them and even as Israel was in a state of war.  Yet, no such measures of political, financial or military pressure has ever been applied to Jordan beyond the request for extradition of Tamimi which was quickly ignored by the Jordanian govt.  This celebratory barbarian needs to be brought to America, and brought to justice.  Waiting even one day more is too great of an assault on justice.

This summer will mark 25th years since of one of the most horrific terrorist attacks not just during what’s known as the Second Intifada, but in Israeli history. At the August 9th bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria, 130 were wounded and 16 people were killed, including seven children and a pregnant woman. One of the children murdered was 15-year-old Malki Roth, one of two American murdered that day. All these years later, her family is still seeking justice.

Peloni:  In an interview on Channel 14, journalist and researcher Dr. Edy Cohen argued that Erdogan’s increasing anti Israel rhetoric is in response to fact in response to Israel’s growing position in the region.  Turkey and Israel are the only two nations in the region capable of force projection of their armed forces beyond their borders, and they are both important US allies, making the competition between these nations both material and significant.  More than this, as Mike Doran of the Hudson Institute has often noted, it remains critical for Trump to manage the relationship between these nations with care.  Unfortunately for everyone, Trump has managed this relationship using Amb. Tom Barrack, providing Turkey with a sense of support and promotion in the region.  Yet, if we consider the comments of Cohen on this issue, it calls to mind something I wrote earlier today, namely that Erdogan seems to be projecting an image of strength because he is increasingly coming aware of how weak he actually is in the shadow of Israel’s dominance in the region.  Notably, the only real strength Erdogan has demonstrated is the seizure of Syria by his proxy forces under Jolani.  Yet, even in this, we must recall that Erdogan’s success was only manageable because Israel hollowed out the Iranian proxy Hezbollah with its Grim Beeper operation.  So, while Trump is promoting and supporting Turkey’s interests in the region, is he actually attempting to calm Erdogan’s failing esteem as he becomes ever more aware that Turkey is losing its ability to dominate the future of the region, something which Erdogan has long made it his goal to do?

Erdogan again compares Netanyahu to Hitler, calls him ‘tyrant’

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday that Israel’s actions in Syria and Lebanon have gone too far and also threaten Turkey.

“The attacks by [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his network of murder on Lebanon and Syria have brought the issue to a point where it also threatens Turkey,” Erdogan said in a speech to lawmakers from his ruling AK Party.

The Abraham Accords proved that Israel can rewrite regional architecture from strength. Saudi normalization, if it comes, would be the architecture’s keystone

If Saudi Arabia ever joins the Abraham Accords, it will not be a transaction. It will be the formal recognition of a regional architecture in which Israel has become the indispensable technology and security anchor – and the partner whose innovation ecosystem is needed to build the AI economy to which the Kingdom has committed itself.

Peloni:  After initially stating that an agreement with Iran was nearly complete, Donald Trump revised his timeline, indicating that finalizing the deal will likely require a few more days. Speaking from the Oval Office, the President described the arrangement as a “great settlement” pending document finalization, with a potential signing ceremony occurring in Europe as early as this weekend. While Trump confirmed he would not attend the event, he noted that Vice President JD Vance along with negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would represent the United States.

Despite the President’s optimism regarding the near-final status of the documents, both Israeli and Iranian officials have indicated to the media that the agreement is not yet fully concluded. Trump maintains that the deal will guarantee Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon and will result in the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a objective that was not an initial aim of the conflict. Currently, a memorandum of understanding is pending to extend the existing ceasefire and establish a framework for future negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.

Peloni: When the only distinction between victory and defeat is how many fake ballots can be stuffed into the ballot box, without even the constraint that the stuffing stops on or even several days after election day, it would seem that the deciding factor of victory will be decided by  the candidate who is least affected by their role in such an absurdity as is being currently masked as an actual election.  The will of the people is not just being stolen in LA, but it has adopted an air of public mocking .  Justice and law enforcement may have never been so well displayed as lost in America, and it relates directly to the concept of consent of the governed.

Peloni:  This is an important report.  The single factor which keeps the Iranian regime in place is the lack of an armed/trained ground force in the region, ie boots on the ground to support the gains of the US-Israeli air campaign.  It is interesting that while reports of the Kurds fulfilling this role have been quashed by Washington against its own interests, the Iranians continue to target and bombard the Kurds with impunity and nearly a thousand attacks on the Kurds have taken place over the past three and a half months.  So, in accordance with what Yossi Baum’s sources are telling him, might Iran know something is possibly afoot in Erbil which will ultimately threaten the survival of the IRGC’s control over Iran?  To be certain, the foretold outcome here makes a great deal more sense as per American interests and it would reshape the region in a profoundly significant way in America’s favor, but in Israel’s favor as well.  With Iran coming to be allied with America and Israel, it would marginalize the dominance of both Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the region, all at once, but it would also create the stability necessary in the region to see the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor.  Remember, if Trump can’t stabilize the region, the IMEC will fail and this is something on which both Bibi and Trump are both focused upon succeeding.

The attacks in Iran – where is this heading:

• Iran is not rushing to attack Israel; it did not attack last night either. Although it is not clear how long Iran will be able to overcome the urge to attack Israel, it is clear that it fears doing so, and it is forced to direct its anger only toward the Gulf states, and at most Jordan.

Peloni:  Doha’s media empire includes the fabrication of fake news, the platform of promoting that fake news and the fact checking outlet which it uses to confirms the fake news as factual.  Employing Western influencers to sell the confirmed fake news as evident simply acts to seal the deal with its target audience in the West which remains oblivious to the fact that the Qatari media empire is honed to specifically corrupt and bring the West to its ruin.

For years, Qatar has positioned itself in Washington as a trusted American partner: a host to major U.S. military assets, a mediator in hostage negotiations, and a wealthy Gulf state capable of talking to nearly everyone in a turbulent region. At the same time, Doha has earned a reputation for exerting influence by illicit means, such as the bribes that secured it the right to host soccer’s 2022 World Cup. Less recognized is the Qatari regime’s employment of an artificial media platform that poses as an independent news organization while promoting Doha’s agenda.

Iran, trying to force the IDF to stop hitting Hezbollah sites in Beirut, launched 11 ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7. They were all intercepted, causing no damage. But such an attack could not go unanswered. The IDF then responded, giving not as good as it got, but far better.

Peloni:  This is an important test for both the regime and the people.  As the regime has taken on a more aggressive and bold posture with its international opposition, the question remains if they will similarly respond to the renewed demonstration by its internal opposition.  Likewise, it remains to be seen how robust the public demonstration against the regime might come to be.  Right now it is a limited demonstration, which allows the regime the ability to steady their hand at the moment.  If the protests increase, particularly as the Americans are resuming their attacks, the Iranian regime will have an important question before it as to whether to let this internal threat grow or to enforce their dominance over the public.  If the latter tactic is chosen, it will provide Trump with a second chance to fulfill his commitment to the Iranian people and come to their aid, something which I suspect he will not easily fail to fulfill a second time.  So while these protests are still limited at the moment, they bear watching.
