Musk met Iran's UN ambassador
Elon Musk, who was named by US President-elect Donald Trump as one of the leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency, met with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, in New York on Monday, The New York Times reported, citing two Iranian officials.
The officials said that the session focused on ways to reduce tensions between Iran and the United States.
The meeting, reportedly lasting over an hour, took place at a confidential location, and was characterized as “positive” and “good news” by the Iranian officials, who spoke anonymously.
When asked about the meeting, Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, stated, “We do not comment on reports of private meetings that did or did not occur.” Musk did not respond to a request for comment.
One Iranian official mentioned that Musk requested the meeting, with Iravani selecting the location.
During Trump’s previous term, there were tensions between Iran and the US. In 2018, Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, denouncing it as a “horrible one-sided deal.” He subsequently imposed severe economic sanctions on Iran.
The Islamic Republic, in turn, scaled back its compliance with the terms of the 2015 agreement.
Following the elimination of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, which was ordered by Trump, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei forbade negotiations with the Trump administration, and Iranian officials pledged to retaliate.
In 2022, an animated video published on the website of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei depicted the assassination of Trump.
Last week, US federal prosecutors disclosed a plot by Iran to assassinate Trump prior to the election. Iranian Foreign Ministry officials strongly rejected Tehran's involvement in the alleged plot.
The Iranian officials quoted by The New York Times indicated that the meeting with Musk provided a channel for Iran to engage without involving an American official directly. During the meeting, Ambassador Iravani reportedly encouraged Musk to secure sanctions exemptions from the Treasury and explore opportunities for his businesses in Tehran.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations declined to comment on the meeting publicly.
Rav Landau Tells Families of Hostages " “I’m not a political person. Maybe if they had abducted the Prime Minister’s [own] son, what would he have done?” Did He Forget that Netanyahu's Brother Died Saving Hostages?
Did Rav Landau have any relatives who died saving hostages?
Would he agree to a deal of releasing all the hostages if yeshiva boruchim all join the draft? Just wondering what red line he won’t cross for a deal. Does he support making a hostage deal and leaving Hamas in power?
I'm wondering what this tzaddik would answer the widow of Rabbi Goldberg who was murdered saving others and is lamenting the fact that Yeshiva Bochrim are not enlisting?
Bibi is determined that whatever peace deal is worked out, must be a lasting peace. Not one turned over in a few months the next time a Muslim animal decides he’s had enough of Jews and goes and kills a Jew !
One of the senior Gedolim in Israel expressed a strong, emotional message to hostage families.
Rav Dov Landau, Rosh Yeshiva of Slabodka, recently met with relatives of hostages being held captive by Hamas. He offered brachos and compassion to the families and discussed the efforts to secure the release of their loved ones. The Rosh Yeshiva also wondered if Israel’s position on a hostage deal would be different if the relatives of government officials were being held.
In video footage released on social media, Rav Landau was asked about Prime Minister Netanyahu’s concerns that a deal could increase the risk and empower Hamas terrorists.
He said, “I’m not a political person. Maybe if they had abducted the Prime Minister’s [own] son, what would he have done?” Rav Landau asked.
Universities Will Lose Funding if They Tolerate Antisemitism under the Trump Administration
President Donald Trump spoke at a rally against antisemitism and declared that universities will lose federal support if they don’t crack down on Jew-hatred:
“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil”
It seems so simple, government-funded universities — which already espouse socialism, racism, hatred of Americans, and pro-China propaganda–should not be allowed to spew Jew hatred. Yet under four years of Biden-Harris, the rhetoric and harassment have reached insane levels.
To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.
“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil,” he said.
Trump added that he would inform all educational institutions that if they permit violence or harassment against Jewish students, they will be “held accountable for violations of the civil rights law.”
“It’s very important – Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law, and they’re going to get it,” he said. “At the same time, my administration will move swiftly to restore safety for Jewish students and Jewish people on American streets.”
Trump has offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, the Republican representing New York’s 21st district, the position of US ambassador to the UN. Stefanik has famously been one of the leading voices against US campus antisemitism, which reached a pinnacle during her grilling of three university presidents who condoned antisemitism, two of whom were forced to resign.

Shmarya Rosenberg from "Failed Messiah" Totally Unhinged Because of Trumps' Landslide and his Appointments
He also hates Netanyahu with a passion, though Netanyahu was elected overwhelmingly in a democratically held election by Jewish citizens in a majority never accomplished in Israel's history!
The self-important Rosenberg owned a now-defunct blog called "Failed Messiah" which was set up to bash the late Lubavitcher Rebbe. But then he started attacking Satmar and frum people in general and so some rich guy paid him off to take it down, rumor has it that it was over $500,000. So for money he threw all of his principals in the garbage dump, but keeps calling Netanyahu a crook for taking some cigars!
But this bitter old man has a Facebook page!
His bizarre rants are mostly against Netanyahu and Trump, and the Jewish people in general, but to make himself look even-handed he throws in some pro-Israel comments!
His posts are a jumble of incoherent hate-fest diatribes against Israel's government and when he can find something nasty to say against the IDF, even when it may very well be a bogus report, he pounces on the story.
The majority of his followers are in total agreement with him, mostly a bunch of far-leftists anarchists!
He has contempt and hate for the American people, the 75 million who voted overwhelmingly for Trump!
Former US Army Counterintelligence Officer Testifies That "We communicated with UFO"s"

“Definitively, yes.”
Shayne Coplan Accurately Predicted Trump's Stunning Victory but FBI Does Not Like this One Bit and Raids His Home
FBI agents raided the Manhattan apartment of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan early Wednesday morning — just a week after the election-betting platform successfully predicted Donald Trump’s stunning victory, The Post has learned.
The 26-year-old entrepreneur was roused from bed in his Soho pad at 6 a.m. by US law enforcement who demanded he turn over his phone and other electronic devices, a source close to the matter told The Post.
It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”
Coplan was not provided with a reason for the raid, but the source suspects it was political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted an easy Trump triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris – as opposed to traditional polls.
Dems’ attacks on the intelligent, articulate, and patriotic Pete Hegseth show why they lost
The elitist attacks on Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth show exactly why Democrats lost the election in a landslide.
Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.
Not only that, but he has a tattoo of “We the People” on his arm, a visible sign of his America First commitment to the Constitution, whose first words remind us that America at its founding rejected rule by elites.
And yet, because Hegseth most recently has been a popular Fox News host, the liberal intelligentsia is accusing him of being stupid and unqualified.
He’s a lot better qualified to run the Defense Department than Kamala Harris ever was to be commander in chief.
Of course, after Trump announced Wednesday that firebrand MAGA-bro Rep. Matt Gaetz was his attorney general pick, the left completely lost its mind.
But they asked for it.
