Will Trump make a deal with Iran?
We dare not kick this can down the road again.
Mike McDaniel | March 23, 2026
The latest—March 23--from President Trump on Truth Social is at once promising and concerning:
It's promising because ending a war is usually, but not always, a good thing. There are worse things than war. It’s concerning because the Iranians Islamists are proven liars. They’ve lied about every agreement they’ve ever made with us and anyone else. Islam, in fact, teaches its adherents to lie—it’s called Taqiyya-–to infidels and even to other Muslims to defeat enemies. The Iranian Mullahs are ardent, expert practitioners of Taqiyya. They lied to Barack Obama and Joe Biden and played both like a harp from Hell.
They’re begging for a deal now because they’re in real danger of utter defeat. They’re an honor culture. Their near-total military defeat in just three weeks thus far is an irredeemable humiliation. It exposes them as the cowards and monsters they are. It’s one thing to brutalize unarmed civilians, and quite another to take on The Great Satan commanded by a man with a grip on reality. Losing their grip on power, their Islamist state losing all political and military power in Iran, would be an even greater humiliation.
And there are very personal concerns involved. Normal, non-Islamist Iranians taking control would mean the deaths of millions of the Islamist demons that have imprisoned, tortured, raped, mutilated and murdered hundreds of thousands of Iranians for nearly a half century. There is hardly an Iranian family that hasn’t been brutalized by the regime, and they’re not going to want to sing Kumbaya if they’re able to oust the Islamists. They’re going to want to kill their tormentors to make sure they never again control Iran, and who can blame them?
If we’re smart, we want the same thing, and for the last three weeks, we’ve made a good start on achieving that necessary, world-saving goal. The destruction of the Iranian Islamists would give world-wide militant Islam pause, at least until another Democrat occupies the White House.
