WATCH: US ready to restart combat if no Iran deal reached, Hegseth says

Hegseth stated that he had a message for the Iranian leadership: "We are watching you. Your capabilities are not the same as ours. Remember, this is not a fair fight."

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth asserted that the American military is ready to restart combat against Iran if no ceasefire deal is reached during a Pentagon press briefing on Thursday.

“We’d prefer to do it the nice way through a deal led by our vice president and negotiating team,” Hegseth said, “or we can do it the hard way. We urge this new regime to choose wisely.”

"You, Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we hope that you do for the people of Iran," he said.

"But if Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, and energy."

"While you are digging out bombed-out and devastated facilities, we are only getting stronger," Hegeth said.

Iran threatens to sink American ships in Strait of Hormuz, claims US ground invasion would be ‘great’

Chris Bradford / NEW YORK POST  

Iran has threatened to sink American ships policing the Strait of Hormuz amid the blockade – and wildly claimed that a US ground invasion would be “great” as it would allow the regime to make billions of dollars snatching hostages.

Mohsen Rezaee, the ex-commander in chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, mocked President Trump on state TV Wednesday — claiming he wants to be the “police” of the waterway before boasting Tehran’s missiles can take out American vessels, reported by Agence France-Presse.

“Is this really your job? Is this the job of a powerful army like the US?” the regime stooge, dressed in military uniform, threatened Trump.

“These ships of yours will be sunk by our first missiles and have created a great danger for the US military. They can definitely be exposed to our missiles and we can destroy them.”

Rezaee, a senior adviser to the Supreme Leader, challenged claims that Iran’s navy has been “completely obliterated,” posing the question, “Why does the United States not dare to cross the Strait of Hormuz?”

I know this post will make some mad and some will question my loyalty, but history itself has shown that sometimes the most loyal of all...the most loyal to our beloved America... are those who are NOT afraid to speak the truth. As a Constitutional Republican I consider myself to be one of those people.

Europe Plans Postwar Hormuz Security Mission Without US: WSJ

Newsmax Wires / Newsmax 

European powers are drawing up a postwar plan to secure shipping through the Strait of Hormuz that would deliberately exclude the United States, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The report cited officials and diplomats familiar with the discussions.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday the proposal envisions an international defensive coalition that would not include “belligerent” parties in the conflict, specifically the U.S., Israel, and Iran, the Journal reported.

European diplomats told the Journal that the effort is designed to reassure commercial shippers that the vital corridor will be safe to use once hostilities end, even as officials acknowledge that a ceasefire could still be some time away.

The plan would rely on European command structures rather than U.S. leadership, a notable shift that underscores growing trans-Atlantic tensions, according to the Journal. Read more, and see video here. 

Midterm Polling Gives Senate Republicans a Path to Victory

Amy Curtis / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

With the midterms approaching, Republicans are zeroing in on a targeted strategy to win back swing voters and Trump voters who don’t typically turn out in off-year elections. Those voters will be critical to maintaining a Republican majority in the Senate next year.  

That message centers on the economy and cost of living, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) says new polling, exclusively provided to Townhall, shows a clear path to rebuilding a winning coalition after President Trump's 2024 win.

That polling shows the cost of living is the overwhelming issue driving the midterms, with 92 percent of swing voters and 85 percent of infrequent Trump voters concerned about it. Of the cost-of-living issues, three major areas stand out: prescription drug prices, housing costs, and Social Security taxes.

Majorities in both groups say they are more likely to support candidates who "crack down" on Big Pharma to stop skyrocketing drug costs, prohibit investment firms and large corporations from purchasing residential housing and driving up costs, and eliminate taxes on Social Security. Read more, and see X here.
