The Iranian regime and its proxy, Hezbollah, are making it abundantly clear, as they have before now, that they have no intention of abiding by any deal -- whether a ceasefire or some grand deal. Hezbollah rejected the agreement worked out between Israel and Lebanon at the behest of our administration before the ink was dry. Before, during, and after the agreement, they've not stopped launching missiles into Israel, in violation of the so-called ceasefire. No nation can tolerate that, and Israel has not and will not, despite "defensive" handcuffs put on it by us in the past. As best I can tell, Israel, in consultation with our country or not, has had enough.
Make no mistake, Hezbollah is acting at the direction of the Iranian regime. Lebanon's president is also fed up with the Iranian regime trying to pull his country into the conflict and using Lebanon as a negotiating chip. He has also made clear that the Lebanese people want to finally be free of Hezbollah. The problem is that his military is not strong enough to deal with Hezbollah and it's left for Israel to deal with Hezbollah.
The Iranian regime is demanding nothing less than Israel commit suicide -- that is, not respond to Hezbollah's missile attacks or respond in a way that does not end Hezbollah's terror against Israeli citizens. The regime is hoping that President Trump will intercede and admonish Israel, as our country has made clear it wants a deal and that deal focuses primarily if not almost exclusive on nuclear and enrichment issues. Meanwhile, most of the Arab leaders (except for the smaller Arab countries, including UAE) fear that their oil fields will be attacked, and Turkey and Pakistan are working to bolster Iran and ensure the regime's survival, including through diplomatic pressure.
There is no real ceasefire. And the question is: what happens when and if there is a deal? How will it be enforced? Who will enforce it? Iran has no launched ballistic missiles at Israel, as it has as other nations in the region. Are Israel and the other nations free to hit back, or are only we free to do so? And what happens if the Iranian regime builds thousands of ballistic missiles, most of which cannot be intercepted?
In the end, the Iranian regime needs to be destroyed. It'll be much more difficult as time goes on and turns into years.
THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
Iran may have no navy and no air force, but Iran still has the IRGC, a large army, and most of all, a regime ideology that has not been defeated (we have not armed the Iranian people to try to take it out). They are still shooting ballistic missiles and drones (and it's not clear if those weapons are part of the negotiations, although none of it will ultimately be enforceable). It appears we are protecting Hezbollah from annihilation (no, Israel is not at war with Lebanon), which is Iran's most powerful militia and has killed and maimed Americans for the last 40 years, and Hamas is rearming rather than disarming (again, Israel sought to destroy it). This does not bode well for the future, certainly after the conclusion of the Trump administration. Moreover, I don't think Communist China, our biggest threat, is impressed today (I believe it was at the outset of our military operation). If billions are directly or indirectly released to the Iranian.

ارتباط مستقیم #چپگرایی با بیماریهای روانی
سالهاست که مطالعات علمی متعدد نشان میدهند افراد متمایل به چپ سیاسی (بهویژه چپهای افراطی) نرخ بسیار بالاتری از بیماریهای روانی شدید مانند افسردگی، اضطراب، اختلالات خلقی و خودگزارشی «بیماری روانی» دارند.
این ارتباط نه تصادفی است و نه صرفاً نتیجه «نگرانی اجتماعی»؛ بلکه الگویی پایدار، طولی و حتی ژنتیکی-شخصیتی است که اغلب اول بیماری روانی یا آسیبهای روانی اولیه میآید، سپس گرایش به چپ.
researchgate.net
شواهد آماری قاطع بر اساس تحلیل General Social Survey (GSS) با بیش از ۱۱ هزار نمونه (Kirkegaard, ۲۰۲۰)، افراد «بسیار لیبرال» (extreme liberal) ۱۵۰ درصد بیشتر از افراد معتدل به بیماری روانی مبتلا هستند. تفاوت اندازه اثر بین «بسیار لیبرال» و «بسیار محافظهکار» برابر ۰.۳۹ d است – عددی معنادار و متوسط تا قوی. این الگو از دهه ۱۹۷۰ وجود داشته و تا امروز ادامه دارد. حتی پس از کنترل سن، جنسیت و نژاد، ارتباط باقی میماند.
researchgate.net
مطالعه Manhattan Institute (۲۰۲۵) با مدلهای پیشرفته طولی (cross-lagged panel و vector error-correction) نشان داد که افزایش distress روانی (افسردگی و اضطراب) پیش از تغییر ایدئولوژی به سمت لیبرالیسم/چپگرایی رخ میدهد. یعنی افراد با مشکلات روانی بیشتر به ایدئولوژیهایی جذب میشوند که «سرزنش سیستم» و «قربانیبودن» را تأیید میکند.

چرا چپگرایان بیشتر آسیبپذیرند؟ ویژگیهای شخصیتی (Big Five): چپگرایان بهطور متوسط neuroticism (عصبیگری و احساسات منفی) بالاتری دارند – قویترین پیشبینیکننده بیماری روانی. neuroticism با موضع چپ اقتصادی (حمایت از دولت رفاه) همبستگی قوی دارد.
دادههای Pew و Columbia: زنان جوان لیبرال سفیدپوست بیشترین نرخ تشخیص بیماری روانی را دارند. افسردگی در نوجوانان لیبرال (بهویژه دختران) پس از ۲۰۱۰ به شدت افزایش یافته – بیشتر از هر گروه دیگری.
magazine.columbia.edu
سلامت کودکی: کودکان با سلامت عالی در بزرگسالی ۱۶ درصد بیشتر محافظهکار و ۱۳ درصد کمتر لیبرال میشوند (Kannan et al., ۲۰۲۲). یعنی آسیب اولیه روانی/جسمی، مسیر چپگرایی را هموار میکند.
sciencedirect.com
آیا «اغلب» چپگرایان بیمارند؟
بله، در گروههای چپ افراطی و جوان، نرخ بیماری روانی بهطور معنادار بالاتر از میانگین جامعه است – گاهی پنج برابر محافظهکاران.
این «اغلب» به معنای شیوع قابلتوجه و غالب در میان فعالان چپ رادیکال است، نه لزوماً ۱۰۰ درصد افراد. مطالعات نشان میدهد این شکاف واقعی است، نه فقط تعصب گزارشدهی (هرچند لیبرالها راحتتر اعتراف میکنند).
در نهایت، دادهها سخن میگویند: چپگرایی افراطی اغلب با آسیبهای روانی حاد همراه است، چون افراد آسیبدیده بیشتر به ایدئولوژیهایی گرایش پیدا میکنند که احساس ناتوانی و خشم سیستماتیک را توجیه کند. این واقعیت علمی است، نه قضاوت اخلاقی. افراد سالم و ناسالم در هر طیف سیاسی وجود دارند، اما آمار نشان میدهد تعادل در سمت راست سیاسی بیشتر به نفع سلامت روانی است.

@LindseyGrahamSC I strongly believe that if you set out on a mission,you should persist until success is achieved!
I'm pretty sure that Trump shares this philosophy.
So if "boots on the ground" are what's needed to quell the IRGC,then send 'em,in sufficient numbers to ensure success!
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.
This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.
Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.
It is important we get this right.
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Starmer Tried to Stop Us… But Britain Showed Up Anyway 🇬🇧
Against media smears, government pressure and speaker bans, our May 16th Unite The Kingdom rally became one of the biggest patriotic gatherings Britain has EVER SEEN! I called for peace, no masks, no violence and total discipline and you delivered! THANK YOU!
This wasn’t far right. This was ordinary British people standing together to say they’ve had enough of being ignored, betrayed and silenced. The movement is growing, the message is spreading, and they can no longer pretend we don’t exist.
من در تمام زندگیام آموزش دیدهام تا به ملت و کشورم خدمت کنم. بیش از هر زمانی آمادهام تا به محض فراهم شدن شرایط، به ایران باز گردم و برای رهبری نبرد پایانی در کنار هممیهنانم باشم.
I've trained all my life to serve my nation. I am more than ever ready to step into Iran. I will be there with my compatriots to lead the ultimate battle.
