Hamas, the Iranian-backed group responsible for the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, is openly calling to escalate attacks against Israel and signaling its intention to shift the center of its jihad (holy war) from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. To Hamas and the rest of Iran's "Axis of Resistance," the prospect of a "deal" between Washington and Tehran is not being interpreted as a sign of American strength. It is being viewed as a sign of America's weakness and a victory for the Iranian regime -- which the US defeated -- and proof that the US is eager to end conflicts at virtually any price.

French President Emmanuel Macron is wrong to laugh off President Donald Trump’s latest threat to slap a 100% tariff on French wine and champagne if Paris doesn’t nix its 3% “digital tax” on top tech companies — and not just because it angers Washington. The French figure it’s a clever way to ding those annoying American tech bros — the French openly call it the “GAFAM tax” because it slams Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. That’s what it was designed to do, by targeting companies with sales of at least $860 million worldwide and $28 million in France — levels no European tech firm comes close to hitting. Which is to say:

President Donald Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., taught Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) a lesson after the latter used fake news to lie about the Memorandum of Understanding, which the United States and Iran signed.Trump responded to a post on X from Benjamin Domenech, an opinion editor for the Daily Wire, in which he shared a quote from Cruz stating that it was “not remotely in America’s interest for us to pay to rebuild” Iran. In response to Cruz’s quote, Trump stated that the U.S. was “not giving” Iran a cent, and added that using fake news to lie about the deal “is the opposite of MAGA.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised President Donald Trump’s agreement with Iran, saying that the deal represents a major foreign policy achievement and a realistic alternative to either appeasing Tehran or committing U.S. troops to another large-scale Middle East conflict.In a post published on his website, Gingrich said Trump had assembled a broad international coalition while using economic and military pressure to push Iran away from its previous position. He dismissed criticism of the agreement from both the right and left, arguing that many opponents had attacked the deal before seeing its details.
