Update:  YNET reports that Trump is warning Iran that if they launch an attack on Israel which results in an Israeli attack and the peace talks being derailed that he will hold Iran responsible for the consequences which follow.  They are also reporting that Trump is simultaneously condisering additional concessions to Iran if they will sign the deal today.  These could include the lifting of the blockade and restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz.

Peloni:  See Trump’s outrageous response to the Beirut attack at the bottom.  He is once more affirming Iranian suzerainty over Lebanon, and linking Israel’s lack of freedom of action to his negotiation needs with Iran.  Meanwhile Iran has committed to responding to the attack in Beirut, and Trump is simultaneously pressuring the Iranians to not respond too dramatically following which he is pressuring Bibi to not respond at all.

‘For every violation – fire’ – Ministers call for Netanyahu to respond to every Hezbollah violation

Following several reported ceasefire violations over the weekend, including three separate drone attacks on Israeli territory Sunday morning, the IDF conducted strikes in the southern Beirut district of Dahiyeh, a known Hezbollah stronghold.

Peloni:  Mahmoud Nabavian is a well known hardliner within the Iranian political establishment.   In a recent comment made regarding the US-Iranian deal, he demonstrated the fact that the Iranians already saw themselves as having won the war, based on the fact that the goals of halting their nuclear program, triggering economic collapse, and causing regime change had all failed to materialize.  Hence, from this perspective, he expresses a sense of cognitive dissidence while trying to grasp why Iran should partake any negotiated settlement at all.  So, as you read his summary of the deal, understand the sense of angst he is actually delivering in being subjected to the severity of the terms as he understands them.  It really is revealing of how complete the Iranians feel the West lost the war, and suggests potential faultlines which may cause the deal, as good as it is for the Iranians, to still meet significant opposition from within the Iranian command structure.

Four Star retired General Jack Keane, former U. S. Army Vice Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, is one of the most perceptive analysts anywhere today regarding the conflict being waged with the previously Arabized and Islamized usurpers of native Iran’s proud Zoroastrian, more tolerant, and glorious pre-Islamic past.

Peloni:  Indeed, the alliance between the Liberal World Order of Globalists has used the financing of Islamist factions and Islamist migration to impair and destruct the nation states which formed the previous order based on the Westphalian system of sovereign states.  The invasion of the West could not be so easily subdued without Western financing and Western compliance while all of this took place behind the cloak of secrecy, both within Europe and America (recall the role of feeding Islamic terrorists by USAID and open US borders).  Unfortunately, the question still remains whether having now revealed the role which Western leadership has played in mounting the demise of Western society, can the genie of the Islamist invasion in the West be placed back in the bottle, or is the West on a roller coaster ride to self destruction from which there is no off ramp.  Will the people of Europe and America succumb to the plots of their globalist overlords, or is there a way back to restoring the primacy of liberty and freedom over the yoke of servitude and dhimmitude.  The answer to this question, of course, is yet to be written, and the people of the West, now being made aware of what has been designed for them must choose to either take back their liberties or to hand their newly won second citizen status to the successive generations.

And this isn’t even the only way that the West is bringing on its own destruction.

Shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain has become notorious in recent years for a two-tier justice system in which Muslim migrants receive preferential treatment over native Britons. Those who dare to protest this and other injustices are prosecuted to the full extent of the law, while the Labour government continues to cover up Muslim rape gang activity and turn a blind eye to migrant criminality in general.

Peloni:  The development of counter drone technology is proceeding, but the timeline of maximizing integration strategies and achieving battlefield dominance will be in the coming years, not months.  The consequence of this reality will come at significant battlefield costs.

Counter Drone Technology is Gaining Traction

Drones have not only become a potent battlefield weapon but they also have deep strike capability. Ukraine has used them to stymie Russia on the battlefield and to destroy high value targets on Russian territory, including critical infrastructure and important military installations.

Peloni:  We are looking at a deal which has either Washington or Iran accepting defeat in the next 60 days.  The backdrop to this is that the Iranians have been emboldened going into this MOU with the perspective that they are in fact winning this war.  Hence, is it likely that they will ultimately bow to Washington’s demands?  Alternatively, is it reasonable to believe that at the end of thee 60 day period Trump will himself further erode the Red line commitment he has announced going into the MOU.  Take note of the fact that the MOU period will expire within a little over two months before the elections in Israel and the US.  Stated otherwise, is it likely that Trump will go into the final stretch of the election having raised the flag of surrender before the IRGC while still calling it victory?  Or is this MOU simply intended to open the Strait of Hormuz, dramatically dropping the price of oil over the critical summer months, with the plan of maintaining the economic chokehold on Iran during this time, keeping China buying US oil and thus supporting the US economy at its own expense, and the potential at the end of the MOU period seeing the US choose between keeping the current conditions in place indefinitely or supporting an insurrection in Iran with US-Israeli air support?  Time will tell, but to be certain, it is going to be an interesting summer.

Western civilization—forged in blood, genius, and sacrifice—is under siege from within. For decades, elites have pursued a suicidal policy of open-door immigration from the third world, flooding our nations with millions who often reject our values, strain our systems, and erode the very foundations of freedom, security, and prosperity. This is not compassion. It is national self-sabotage. We must slam the brakes on mass inflows from incompatible regions now—before it is too late.

Peloni:  The change of rhetoric in Lebanon can not be mistaken for a change in capabilities.  Even if we take Aoun at his word, which could only be done by foolishly ignoring the long history of Lebanese commitments regarding disarming Hezbollah in the past, it doesn’t change the reality of Lebanon’s demographics, which is also represented in the Lebanese Armed Forces, in which the Lebanese Shiite community has a large representation.  Notably, amid reports that even the Shiite commuity in Lebanon has turned against Hezbollah, this has yet to be demonstrated in any way material beyond verbal assertions.  Israel can not afford to be forced from Lebanon under the hollow promises of “peace once more”.  Israel should maintain its presence in Lebanon, and Aoun should demonstrate his authority by disarming Hezbollah in what remains of Lebanon presumably under his control.  Of course, he might first start by demonstrating that he has the ability to even evict the Ambassador of Iran, whose remaining presence in Lebanon is all that is needed to demonstrate the lack of capabilities of the Lebanon president to enforce the will of the Lebanese rather than that of the Iranian regime.

“The only flag of the Lebanese people is the flag of Lebanon”[1]; “[Iran is] using Lebanon and Hizbullah mainly as a bargaining chip”; “It’s not the country [of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards], it’s our country”[2]; “A traitor is someone who takes his country to war in pursuit of external interests”[3]—These are some of the strong statements made by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in recent months against Hizbullah and its patron Iran, reflecting a significant hardening of his position.

When the official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain describes Zionism as a form of anti-Muslim hatred and labels Israel’s IDF as a “Zionist terrorist group” you know that country has a serious problem on its hands.

Peloni:  While watching this video, take note of how the Mamdani’s Jew Hatred policies are being strengthened by the very Democratic Party leaders and members who should be a moderating source for his Jew Hatred.  Instead, the Jew Hatred policies in NYC, governing over the largest community of Jews in America, are gaining support.  As noted in the interview below, the Jewish community is not focusing their influence via their voting practices to support and protect themselves from Mamdani and his growing list of political acolytes.  The strength of every democracy is in the will of the people being used to represent the interests of the people.  With the growing strength in the Muslim communities in America, the need for Jews to stand as an electoral firewall against this rising threat is more necessary than ever.  As I have often noted, people living in democratic nations should vote as if their lives and the lives of their loved ones are on the ballot, because they are.  In no other instance is this more true than in NYC, but in America, this trend is not isolated to NYC, unfortunately.

If my grandparents were alive today, they would be horrified.

My family was Russian Jewish aristocracy. They had a life, a home, a community, and a future. None of that mattered when hatred came for them.

They fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe, where Russian Cossacks stormed Jewish communities on horseback, wielding pitchforks and terror. Their only “crime”? Being Jewish.

Peloni:  Washington should use its leverage to force Jordan to eliminate all presence and support for the Muslim Brotherhood and their Islamist allies.  They should force Jordan to adopt an outright hostile posture to the Iranians.  They should force Jordan to support and coordinate with Israel and end its endless blood libels and calls for violence against Israel.  And they should demand that the butcheress Tamimi is finally handed over to face American justice.  Washington has the influence to do all of this.  The question is whether they will do any of it.

When the IDF entered Gaza, it discovered that Hamas was using UNRWA facilities, including schools, hospitals, and mosques, to hide both combatants and weapons, including launching pads for missiles. Underneath UNRWA headquarters in Gaza, Hamas had built its main command-and-control center. The IDF also discovered lists of Hamas members, and could cross-check them against a list of UNRWA staff. These findings led Israel to charge that many members of UNRWA were also members of Hamas, and that dozens of UNRWA staff had taken part in the atrocities carried out on Oct. 7, 2023. UNRWA, of course, denied this.

Peloni:  We will see if DM Katz‘s assertion hold true.  There will be a great deal of pressure to betray this pronouncement, and we have seen the calumny of betrayal in the past as Israeli leadership subordinated the interests of the Israeli people to the dictates of American demands, even in the wake of October 7 did this outrageous practice take place, and repeatedly so.  What is certain is that if Katz is correct, real changes might take place in the region, and the ultimate prize of stability, rather than another claim of some faux peace arrangement, could be within our reach, but it remains to be seen what Washington will do to once again scuttle this possibility.  ‘Maintain the buffer’ should be the shouted slogan of the coming election in Israel.

“Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and citizens from Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the regions of our homeland in Samaria, and most of the territory of Gaza, until Hamas is defeated and the migration plan is implemented, in the face of threats from jihadist forces and organizations, as a central lesson learned from the events of October 7.
