So, Trump can do the right thing, and the usual gang can be counted on to criticize him for it here.

Not sure what you mean by "the usual gang" but I've always supported Trump when he's blasting the hell out of Iran and not showing weakness with these absurd ceasefires and negotiations, or trusting the Pakis, Qataris, and UAEmeratis, or bashing and cussing the Israelis when they're fighting back.  I'm afraid that he's lost the initiative and strategic momentum though, and that anything he does now in retaliation will just be pinpricks. 

He had his chance to totally crush the Iranians back in early April but chickened out when the Pakis came calling.

No criticism intended. I only said that this is not normal behavior for Trump based on his past behavior.
Of course I am glad Trump finally 'woke up'. Let's hope is sticks. But yes, I still have doubts.

And it puts the Congress in the position of having to say "You can't hit them back" (which is about as un-American as it gets) if they are going to try to stop him. Without the MOU, Congress could have shut down any further hostilities.
The war has entered a new phase.

Trump believes in 'proportional response' using the military force. 'Proportional Response' is a term Liberals made up to empower terrorists, insurgents, and revolutionaries. Proportional Response doctrine is to never actually eliminate the threat, but rather to use 'pinprick' responses in order to 'punish' them proportionally. This never works. In fact, it only emboldens them. Terrorist do not care about being 'punished', as long as they stay alive and remain in charge.

When I was in the military we were trained that to win, you use overwhelming force of action and extreme violence without prejudice. That only applies if your intention is to actually 'win' militarily, which has become debatable over the last century since WWII.
Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

🇮🇷 WSJ: Iran is seeking to earn billions by charging ships for security, safety, and environmental services in the Strait of Hormuz after the war.

Tehran says the plan could generate up to $40 billion annually and wants neighboring Gulf states to share in the revenue.

The U.S., Oman, and other Gulf countries oppose any transit fees, arguing international waterways must remain toll-free.

I've always supported Trump when he's blasting the hell out of Iran and not showing weakness with these absurd ceasefires and negotiations, or trusting the Pakis, Qataris, and UAEmeratis, or *bashing and cussing the Israelis when they're fighting back*.

Is it possible the "bashing and cussing the Israelis" could be due to this? ----

Quote
Mr. Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions they portrayed as pointing to near-certain victory: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz, and the likelihood that Iran would land blows against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal.

Besides, Mossad’s intelligence indicated that street protests inside Iran would begin again and — with the impetus of the Israeli spy agency helping to foment riots and rebellion — an intense bombing campaign could foster the conditions for the Iranian opposition to overthrow the regime. The Israelis also raised the prospect of Iranian Kurdish fighters crossing the border from Iraq to open a ground front in the northwest, further stretching the regime’s forces and accelerating its collapse.

Mr. Netanyahu delivered his presentation in a confident monotone. It seemed to land well with the most important person in the room, the American President.


https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/politics/trump-iran-war.html

Quote

Mr. Netanyahu’s presentations — and Mr. Trump’s positive response to them — created an urgent task for the U.S. intelligence community. Overnight, analysts worked to assess the viability of what the Israeli team had told the president.

"Farcical"

The results of the U.S. intelligence analysis were shared the following day, Feb. 12, in another meeting for only American officials in the Situation Room. Before Mr. Trump arrived, two senior intelligence officials briefed the president’s inner circle.

The intelligence officials had deep expertise in U.S. military capabilities, and they knew the Iranian system and its players inside out. They had broken down Mr. Netanyahu’s presentation into four parts. First was decapitation — killing the ayatollah. Second was crippling Iran’s capacity to project power and threaten its neighbors. Third was a popular uprising inside Iran. And fourth was regime change, with a secular leader installed to govern the country.

The U.S. officials assessed that the first two objectives were achievable with American intelligence and military power. They assessed that the third and fourth parts of Mr. Netanyahu’s pitch, which included the possibility of the Kurds mounting a ground invasion of Iran, were detached from reality.

When Mr. Trump joined the meeting, Mr. Ratcliffe briefed him on the assessment. The C.I.A. director used one word to describe the Israeli prime minister’s regime change scenarios: “farcical.”

At that point, Mr. Rubio cut in. “In other words, it’s bullshit,” he said.

Mr. Ratcliffe added that given the unpredictability of events in any conflict, regime change could happen, but it should not be considered an achievable objective.

Several others jumped in, including Mr. Vance, just back from Azerbaijan, who also expressed strong skepticism about the prospect of regime change.

The president then turned to General Caine. “General, what do you think?”

General Caine replied: “Sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed. They know they need us, and that’s why they’re hard-selling.”

Israel and Lebanon sign framework agreement with US in ‘first step’ toward peace, Rubio says
Politico, Jun 26, 2026, Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined Israel and Lebanon’s ambassadors to the U.S. Friday to announce a framework agreement that was described as a first step toward peace following months of conflict between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

The officials did not share details on the agreement, which does not include Hezbollah and prompted one of the group’s officials in Lebanon to warn of civil war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said that the framework would allow Lebanese forces to eventually take control of territory from Israel’s military.

The agreement was signed in front of Rubio in Washington by Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the United States, and Nada Hamadeh, the Lebanese ambassador to the United States.

Hamadeh said the framework “is a first step on the road to restoring Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity, securing a permanent and final cessation of hostilities, enabling our people to go back to their land and allowing all Lebanese to live in peace, security and prosperity.”

Leiter said the final destination of the framework is peace between the two countries.

Real peace, where both countries will live in security, where Israel’s and Lebanon’s sovereignty will be respected, honored and protected,” Leiter said. “In this performance-based trilateral framework agreement, Iran is out. Hezbollah is out. And the road to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in.”

The latest conflict began when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel days after Israel and the U.S. launched their war on Iran on Feb. 28. Israel invaded Lebanon and has expanded its control.

Israel and Lebanon sign framework agreement after US-brokered talks
BBC News, Jun 26, 2026

Washington has feared that ongoing tension between Israel and Hezbollah could undermine its peace deal with Iran, which includes a commitment to end fighting on "all fronts", including Lebanon.

Hezbollah is not party to Friday's agreement, and it is unclear whether it will agree to withdraw its fighters from the South Litani area in southern Lebanon.

In the 14-point framework agreement, Israel and Lebanon both "affirm" the right of each state to "live in peace", and express "mutual desire to live in security as neighboring sovereign states".

It makes specific note to a "cessation of all hostile or adverse actions in international political or legal fora" between Israel and Lebanon, with both nations pledging to work towards the release of detainees, as well as the return of any remains.

However, both governments acknowledge that "nothing in this Framework prevents them from exercising their inherent right to defend themselves".

The agreement says that the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) will restore effective sovereign authority over all Lebanese territory, "pending the verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and dismantlement of associated infrastructure".

In order to achieve this, Lebanon makes a specific request for the support of international and "particularly Arab partners, under the leadership of the US".

A US-supported military coordination group will also be established to help implement the framework.

From a diplomatic perspective, the signing of some kind of an agreement is a step forward, but the situation on the ground in Lebanon has shown little sign of shifting, despite several ceasefires.

Israel and Hezbollah have traded cross-border fire, with both accusing each other of violating the agreement, but the intensity has dropped off in recent days.

Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun said the framework was a first step to restoring sovereignty.

But shortly after the signing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israeli forces would remain in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah disarms. The Israeli army is currently occupying around 5% of the country's territory.

I was surprised as were very many people. This is divergent behavior for Trump. Over the last few months, Trump has ignored, dismissed, ridiculed (no one was hurt), and even apologized for Iranian attacks (rogue elements).

This makes me believe that Trump was finally overridden by his staff, military and his political advisors. Judging from Trump's past words and behavior, I think Trump on his own would have just dismissed it, as did Iran. I am guessing there was some kind of behind the scenes power struggle in which someone 'slapped' Trump back into reality. 'You cannot continue ignoring ongoing Iranian attacks! The world does not work like that!' I do not believe that this was Trump's decision. He was convinced by others.

I laughed when Trump said, "They broke the ceasefire." What ceasefire? The ceasefire Trump simply made-up in his own mind?
THERE NEVER WAS ANY REAL CEASEFIRE, EXCEPT THE CEASEFIRE DELUSIONAL TRUMP DREAMED UP FROM NOTHING.

I agree this is divergent behavior, and came as a surprise; now we will see if this "new" 47 holds or reverts to form. Hoping it holds, not holding breath.

47 will do nothing - action, even a sternly worded letter, could disturb the "delicate negations" or his terms of surrender.

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday it was targeted by a “number of Iranian drones” as tensions are escalating around the Strait of Hormuz.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Bahrain’s strongest condemnation of the targeting of its territory at dawn today, Saturday, June 27, 2026, by a number of Iranian drones, in a blatant violation of its sovereignty, a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents, and a blatant breach of international norms and conventions that prohibit targeting,” Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The reported Iranian drone attack comes about 48 hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Bahrain for a meeting with members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, where they discussed the U.S.-Iran deal and next steps for the Middle East.

“While the Ministry condemns this heinous aggression, it affirms that the Iranian regime’s continued attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are moving towards de-escalation, place the sole responsibility on Tehran for undermining peace efforts, and reveals an approach based on destabilizing security, exporting chaos, and undermining regional stability,” Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry also said Saturday.

Meanwhile, in Lebanon:




World Source News
@Worldsource24

Hezbollah Leader [and IRGC proxy] Naim Qassem:

“The framework in Washington is a humiliation, a disgrace, and a surrender of sovereignty. This agreement is non-existent, and we must enforce the provisions of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding. We will follow up with all necessary means and international and Arab pressures to compel the Israeli enemy to comply with the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding and withdraw from Lebanon.”

“We say to the Lebanese authority: It is time for you to retract your sins that are destroying Lebanon; this is a virtue that will be recorded for you after your sins. We are ready to cooperate and stand together for the sovereignty of Lebanon, the liberation of its land, the expulsion of the Israeli occupier, the return of prisoners, the return of residents, reconstruction, rebuilding the country, and agreeing on a national security strategy.”

“The ceasefire would not have happened without the great sacrifices of the resistance fighters, their families, and the Lebanese people.

This agreement is non-existent, and we must enforce the provisions of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding. We will follow up with all necessary means and international and Arab pressures to compel the Israeli enemy to comply with the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding and withdraw from Lebanon.”

This is basically telling the Lebanese Christians they must choose between accommodating the terrorists in their midst vs Israeli occupation. The Christians in this region have tried to carve out some sort of life for themselves, in spite of their hostile neighbors, for hundreds of years. I am so happy my ancestors had the foresight to escape.

The experience of my ancestors has taught me that cutting and running is the best alternative to fighting a no-win war.

Kuwait slams ‘reprehensible Iranian aggression’ against Bahrain

Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday that Iran’s targeting of Bahrain “represents a dangerous undermining of endeavors for peace and stability, and a threat to the security and stability of the region.”

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the State of Kuwait's condemnation and strong denunciation of the reprehensible Iranian aggression against the territories of the sisterly Kingdom of Bahrain using a number of drones, in a flagrant violation of its sovereignty, a direct threat to its security and stability, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its lands, and a clear breach of the rules of international law and the United Nations Charter,” Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry wrote on X.

“The Ministry renews the State of Kuwait's firm and supportive stance toward the security and stability of the sisterly Kingdom of Bahrain, and its full solidarity with it in all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its territories,” it added.

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said earlier Saturday it was targeted by a “number of Iranian drones.”

Iran accuses US of violating memorandum, despite Tehran targeting ship in Strait of Hormuz

Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader and former commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, accused the U.S. of violating the memorandum of understanding despite Tehran launching an attack this week on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

“America, by supporting the actions of its proxy forces in the region, has violated the first article of the memorandum of understanding, and by continuing to create tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, has violated the fifth article. The response to the violation of any article of the memorandum of understanding will be swift and decisive,” Rezaei wrote on X on Saturday.

The first point in the U.S.-Iran deal signed last week says in part, “The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war by signing this MOU declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”

The fifth point says “the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa.”

U.S. Central Command said Friday that it carried out strikes against “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites" -- but that was in response to Iran striking the M/V Ever Lovely commercial ship with a one-way attack drone on June 25 as it was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.

Bahrain also said Saturday that it was targeted in an Iranian drone attack. That incident has brought swift condemnation from allies in the Middle East.

Israeli drone strike reported in southern Lebanon, day after framework deal signed
Times of Israel, Jun 27, 2026

An Israeli drone struck the Nabatieh area in southern Lebanon, Lebanon’s state news agency says.

The reported strike came a day after Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework agreement that will see the Israel Defense Forces begin to withdraw from small parts of southern Lebanon, amid the ongoing fighting between the Jewish state and the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Hezbollah just rejected the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement as a humiliation and a surrender of sovereignty

Qassem is saying the Lebanese government handed Israel concessions it couldn't win on the battlefield and abandoned the Iranian-US memorandum that would have ended the war on better terms.

The core of his argument is that tying Israeli withdrawal to Hezbollah disarmament across all of Lebanon is a trap:

It gives Israel a legal pretext to stay indefinitely while Lebanese displaced from the south can't go home.

Washington got a signing ceremony. Hezbollah is promising to keep fighting. Those two things are going to have to reconcile with each other at some point and it's not going to be pretty when they do.
