[[[ Interesting developments over the weekend as Trump not only confirmed his IRGC back channels, but now he has threatened to (and I quote) "bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way" regarding his control of Hormuz. 

So Trump is now threatening to expand this war over a body of water that technically he nor we have any legal right to control, all while Iranian "freedom fighters" continue to get executed by the day.

 

Are we looking at another Vietnam or Afghanistan...could be...or maybe it's time for both Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth and Sec. of State Marco Rubio to tell Trump to SHUT HIS DAMN MOUTH AND KEEP IT SHUT!!! ]]]

Trump confirms IRGC backchannel, threatens to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way'

Regarding US munitions used against Iran, Trump said that what has been used so far against Iran "is peanuts."

US President Donald Trump confirmed to FOX News on Monday that there is a backchannel with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials, as the 60-day period in the Memorandum of Understanding expired.

On Sunday, Axios reported that Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani had been tapped as the secret backchannel, citing three sources with direct knowledge of the talks.

Notably, Barzani lived in Iran during the Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s, studied at the University of Tehran, speaks fluent Farsi, and has personal relationships with several members of the IRGC.

Trump added that Iran should raise "the white flag of surrender," and that he has "no time schedule" and is in "no hurry" to make a deal.

The Iranian's are "good poker players, but they're dying," said Trump.

Iran offering $30,000 bounty for the slaughter and capture of US soldiers, army chief says 

Ronny Reyes / NEW YORK POST 

Tehran’s military chief put out a $30,000 reward for anyone who kills or captures a US soldier — with the reward doubled for Iranian women — but it remains unclear how they can carry out the orders.

Iranian army chief Amir Hatami said there were a “large number of requests” for bounties to be put on the American soldiers despite the lack of US ground forces in Iran.

“Anyone who kills or captures and hands over an invading American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army,” Hatami told IRNA.

“Courageous Iranian women who carry out such an action will receive double the reward,” he added. 

The army chief even claimed that the weapon used to kill an American would be kept in a supposed museum currently under planning.

[[[ I am so sick of hearing the word "affordability" by both sides of the political aisle. Simply, buy what you and your pocketbook can afford to buy...NOT demand to have what you and your pocketbook says you cannot afford to buy. It is as simple as that. ]]]

 

[[[ Don't go to war unless you are prepared to win! And NEVER are deals made with the enemy a win! ]]]

Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com    

 

[[[ Whether some want to hear it or not, what I post here is fully documented and verified. I start by saying that Trump said these things and more yesterday during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections in New York State. 

 

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States." So I guess Trump now thinks he can negate international maritime law!

 

Also at the rally, Trump acknowledging the economic effects the war has had here at home. Trump said that ensuring Iran could not build a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline," adding that “When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4. It’s okay,” and “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”

 

Folks, that's $4 for REGULAR...imagine what PREMIUM, HIGH TEST, and DIESEL will cost!!!

 

And what happened to last summer's taking out Iran's nuclear plants...didn't that end their nuclear programs...what they want and desire now are two different things...or is the reality of NOT having finished the job last summer as Israel wanted to do now coming back to haunt? To me it seems so...as Iran has yet to be defeated for defeat and a win means the enemy has surrendered! Simply, as of today, Iran has not surrendered or even come close to surrendering, and possibly never will!

 

Trump really needs to learn to shut his mouth and tone down his misplaced rhetoric and overinflated ego, because if not we Republicans could well lose not just the November midterms, but in 2028 as well...a truly scary thought indeed. ]]]

Obama Judge Hits Reverse, Gives Trump the Green Light on Somali Deportations

Kyle Becker / RedState 

 

It's finally happened. An Obama-appointed judge has decided to uphold the law, rather than indulge her feelings about Donald Trump. Her cocktail circuit friends will surely be disappointed in her. 

So will Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5), given the litigants in the case. The case, African Communities Together v. Mullin, challenged the Trump administration's decision to terminate Somalia's TPS designation, which had been scheduled to take effect March 17. 

U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs had initially stepped in on March 13, just four days before the termination was supposed to become effective, and temporarily froze the administration's action.

As we reported earlier on RedState, Burroughs had faced an impeachment effort after refusing to clear the way for the Somali deportations. Read more, see X and photos here.

Trump says he’ll declare Strait of Hormuz a US territory after defeating Iran, during Long Island rally

Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST

 

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the Iran war — as he again slammed US allies for not helping break Tehran’s hold on the waterway.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections.

Trump acknowledged the economic effects of the nearly six-month conflict, but argued that ensuring Iran could not build a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline.”

“When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4. It’s okay,” he said. “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”
