Bad Bad Bad Deal ... For the World, the USA & Israel
Trump himself is now saying he buckled under the pressure of Hormuz.
It's as bad as it could possibly be. He's saying aloud that Iran can have anything it wants because America can't afford the staring contest.
If this is his own explanation in his own words, then the fact that the sanctions relief is front-loaded...suddenly becomes important. The fact that the inspections regime that will verify compliance will be negotiated by an American side that has already admitted defeat, that needs this more than the opponent needs it...is now significant. And the fact that the proxy system is now recognized as legitimate by the United States -- is suddenly exactly the disaster you feared it might be.
And the fact that America has declared aloud that it's not actually capable of imposing its will even in the world's most vital energy chokepoints, causing its allies in the Gulf to already begin to seek a new accommodation with Iran -- makes all of this worse than Obama and worse than the JCPOA.
Remember: the great unfixable flaw of the JCPOA that none of its boosters ever had a good answer for was that it merely kicked the can down the road. It solved nothing.
Trump's deal, as of this moment, is not even close to accomplishing so much.
"Iran never won a war and never lost a negotiation," Trump famously said of Obama's deal (as a reporter reminded him at today's press conference). Ironic that the Iranians would win a negotiation most spectacularly against a man who styles himself the greatest negotiator to ever grace the White House.
So what does it all mean?
It means that in the coming years, nuclear programs will sprout like mushrooms after the rain throughout the Middle East. It means that many nations will now build out new and larger ballistic missile arsenals.
It means that the state system will give way before the march of the region's transnational ideological axes. Minorities will again be trampled, new wars will be fought by stronger states to dominate the power vacuums within weaker ones.
You're thinking of Israel in Lebanon -- but that's just a specific campaign against a specific enemy. Think Turkey, which right now occupies a region of Syria vastly larger than Israel's presence in Lebanon. Think heightened Iranian support for the Houthis in Yemen and a new influx of money and guns to the different sides in Libya.
It means, in other words, that we will have a few more wars to fight, a few more technologies to invent to deal with this new age of cheap missiles and drones -- and also of supersonic Chinese missiles bearing nuclear warheads that Iran will eventually, inevitably, be capable of deploying against us.
And it didn't have to be this bad. (And maybe, when he's heard all the criticism, it won't be.) He could have left something, anything, to concede later. He could have kept the Iranians a little bit in the dark, just a smidgen, as to just how defeated America feels.
Israel's position in all this is simple, and more or less unchanged from last week. America gave us more than we had a right to ask for. But we may be going it alone from here out.
Dust off the nukes. Maybe test one somewhere far away from anywhere. Quadruple the interceptor production lines, double the size of the Mossad and the Air Force. And no, don't let Hezbollah breathe, not for a second.
It's the 1960s again. And Israel will have to defeat a couple more enemies before it can once again eke out a few decades of peace.
Harav Moshe Saada of Tzfas Accused of Sexually Abusing his Students
A teacher from Tzfat accused of indecent acts against seven children: "Locked the class and took advantage of their innocence"
Moshe Saada, an educator in the Torah study "Pirchei Kehuna", was arrested about a month ago for sex offenses. According to the indictment, for a long period of time he committed sex crimes against his students, aged 9 to 12, lured them with sweets, ordered them to massage his back and shoulders -and committed sexual acts.
Lindsey Graham caves in after speaking to the Jew Steve Witkoff
US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Wednesday that he now supports the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran, following what he described as a “very lengthy and productive discussion" President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
“After this discussion, it is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the Strait of Hormuz will begin to open, and the hostilities with Iran will stop," Graham, who had previously expressed skepticism about the agreement, wrote on social media.
“Whether or not the United States can reach an acceptable, verifiable deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program and other issues is yet to be determined, but I see little downside to trying," he continued.
He further stated, “The economic stability that comes from opening up the Strait and the cessation of hostilities could create a pathway to peace well beyond the Iranian conflict."
“The expansion of the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is President Trump’s and my ultimate goal. I think that is best achieved by creating economic stability for the United States, the region and the world, as well as the cessation of hostilities. The signing of the MOU is an essential step to make that happen and thus it is worthwhile," concluded Graham.
The United States and Iran on Wednesday electronically signed the memorandum of understanding for ending the war, meaning it is now in effect, according to Axios.
Esmail Baghaei, the spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, confirmed the report, saying, “Right now, as I'm speaking with you, the text of the Islamabad memorandum has probably reached the presidents of Iran and the United States for signature."
He added, “It has been agreed that the Iran-US memorandum will be signed digitally. Once the memorandum reaches the presidents of both countries for signature, any violation of it will carry a higher cost."
Baghaei also stated that while there had been plans for the negotiating teams to attend an in-person signing ceremony in Geneva or Brussels, the signing of the MOU digitally means no signing ceremony will be held in Switzerland.

As US nears 250th birthday Americans doubt it will last another 250 years
BY Gary Varvel
“Will America’s 250th birthday be a celebration or a funeral?”
This sobering question was posed by syndicated columnist Cal Thomas in his book, America’s Expiration Date: The Fall of Empires and Superpowers . . . and the Future of the United States.
Thomas wrote the book as a stark, prophetic warning for America to change its current trajectory. He observed that American history is tracking with terrifying precision alongside The Fate of Empires, a landmark 1978 essay by Sir John Glubb.
Glubb analyzed the lifecycles of eleven historical empires across centuries and discovered an undeniable pattern:
they all shared seven distinct stages of development, and they consistently collapsed after an average lifespan of roughly 250 years.
As America reaches its own monumental 250-year milestone, we are forced to confront Glubb’s timeline.
Glubb’s 7 Ages of Empire—and Where America Stands Today
Looking back across our history, it is easy to see how seamlessly the American story maps onto Glubb’s historical lifecycle:
The Age of Pioneers: The rugged exploration of a continent, from Christopher Columbus to Lewis and Clark.
The Age of Conquests: When our Founding Fathers boldly fought for independence from Great Britain to establish a nation of free men.
The Age of Commerce: When our ancestors built great, industrious cities and mastered global trade.
. The Age of Affluence: From the late 1800s onward, which established the robust American middle class and created unprecedented material wealth.
The Age of Intellect: The 20th century, where American technological triumph took mankind from the horse-and-buggy to the moon in less than 70 years.
The Age of Decadence: The mid-20th-century turning point, where the sexual revolution went mainstream, eroding traditional moral boundaries and family structures.
The Age of Decline and Collapse: The final stage, marked by internal defensiveness, deep cultural pessimism, intense materialism, frivolity, a massive influx of an assimilation-resistant culture, the rise of the welfare state, and a severe weakening of religion.
According to a poll by the Trafalgar Group, nearly 80 percent of voters believe that “American society and culture is in decline.” Nearly everyone, regardless of political affiliation, intuitively feels that something is terribly, fundamentally wrong with the country.
But what can be done to stop a historical countdown?
A Spiritual Problem Needs a Spiritual Solution
Politicians consistently act as though the solution to every civilizational crisis is to pass another piece of legislation or spend billions more in taxpayer money.
But Thomas notes a reality that Washington refuses to acknowledge: more government laws cannot stem the tide of corruption and violence on our streets when we have systematically rejected God’s moral law.
America has a deeply rooted spiritual problem, and it cannot be fixed with material solutions. The Bible provides clear, unyielding warnings about what happens to any nation that chooses to forget God (Deuteronomy 8). If we are to survive past the historical expiration date, the call cannot just be for political reform—it must be a call for the remnant to remember, repent, and return to the God who blessed this nation in the first place.
Reclaiming the Watchtower
To stop the bleeding, Thomas offers a radical but entirely necessary step for families:
“Remove your children and grandchildren from the public schools and liberal universities that have become progressive socialist re-education camps.”
We would never dream of sending our military recruits to be trained in the camps of our geopolitical adversaries. Yet, for decades, we have willingly entrusted our children to a educational system that spends eight hours a day dismantling the very faith, values, and history we teach them at home. It is time for parents to aggressively take advantage of school choice. As Thomas brilliantly points out, the secular left is fiercely “pro-choice” when it comes to abortion, but strictly anti-choice when it comes to educating the children who survive.
The clock is ticking on our 250th year. It is time to wake up, step into the gap, and turn America right-side up.
Mullas More Powerful Than Ever! Iran Declares Total Victory! Will Control Hormuz
 |
| Drudge Report Headline |
From the Financial Times
As Iran’s state television blasted out victory anthems after announcing the deal with the US, a new narrative began taking shape in Tehran: the regime believes it has not only survived its greatest crisis in decades, but emerged stronger.
Within the highest ranks of the Islamic republic, nobody would deny Iran is nursing devastating losses. US and Israeli strikes destroyed crucial infrastructure, took the lives of about 3,500 civilians, and killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior military commanders.
But regime insiders, Iranian analysts and western diplomats in Tehran agree on one thing: the war failed to bring the radical transformation sought by Iran’s enemies. In fact, the regime, which at the start of the year appeared to be at its most vulnerable, seems more confident than before the war began in February.
“The US made a big mistake. It awakened the sleeping dragon,” said a regime insider. “We paid a huge price, but we activated capacities that we had previously hesitated to use.”
Years of economic hardship, public discontent and the deadly unrest of January had convinced many, both inside and outside Iran, that the 47-year-old theocracy would struggle to survive a full-scale confrontation involving the US and Israel. Two years of regional conflict had dealt devastating blows to Tehran and its proxies.
Now, it has managed its leadership transition and taken charge of a priceless geopolitical weapon that it previously hesitated to deploy: asserting control over the narrow waterway through which one-fifth of global oil and gas passed before the war.
It has also struck energy infrastructure and riled Washington’s allies in the Gulf, while the US and Israel have failed to convince Iranians to rise up against the regime.
“The war fitted perfectly into their ideology and what they had been preparing for over decades,” said a senior western diplomat in Tehran. “It strengthened them.”

Trump’s Iran deal gives the Islamic Republic big wins upfront — and America nothing
NYP editorial
Vice President JD Vance’s sales pitch for the Iran deal is simply terrible — but President Donald Trump’s may be worse.
Maybe the reporting on what’s in the Memorandum of Understanding is wrong, but Team Trump keeps confirming some of the worst news.
As best we can tell, the deal does nothing to achieve the aims America started the war with — but does hand Tehran a whole series of gains.
Iran gets at least a few billion in immediate funds and can start selling oil right away, with at least some other sanctions dropped as well.
More, Tehran wins unprecedented authority over the Strait of Hormuz and likely locks in Hezbollah’s dominance of Lebanon.
Recall our goals: The prez opened combat seeking to permanently end Iran’s nuclear threat, and also eliminate its missiles and other offensive capabilities, and we also hoped for regime change.
In this handout provided by the White House, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance sit in the Situation Room as they monitor the mission that took out three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites, at the White House on June 21, 2025 in Washington, DC.
The bombing set back its nuke programs, took out a lot of missiles and missile factories and decapitated most of the regime’s top leadership.
All the talks since the start of April have done nothing more — indeed, have only let new Iranian leaders rebuild and regroup, even as the populace suffers.
Why think they’ll change in another 60 days of talking?
Vance’s happy case is that the big prizes for Iran are contingent on its behavior; as he said on “Hannity”: “If they’re willing to behave like a normal country,” quit chasing nukes and funding terror, “then we are willing to actually fundamentally transform our relationship with them.”
But that’s been true ever since the 1979 revolution, and the regime has never gone for it.
Trump, talking with Qatar’s ruler (!), actually claimed the regime has changed, since we killed off so many leaders and those who wound up in charge “are very rational people,” “nice to deal with,” “not radicalized.”
Huh? It’s the leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps calling the shots over there now — the goons most committed to the radical agenda.
Trump says he ‘never cared’ about Iran regime change, claims new leaders are ‘not radicalized’
Vance says Iran won’t get $300B reconstruction fund ‘unless they totally transform themselves’
Trump will allow Iran to sell its oil under deal — giving financial boost to Tehran’s regime
Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner never talked to them, only to political fronts for the real powers.
And it’s easy to be “nice” when the negotiations are handing you win after win.
Trump’s proud that Tehran promises to stick to only peaceful nuclear programs, but it’s never stopped making that promise even as it’s never ceased doing the opposite.
“We’ve never had this level of direct communication with the Iranian leadership,” Vance bragged on “Hannity.”
Again: They weren’t talking to the real leaders, just front men.
Sadder still, he claimed: “We’re seeing even people that I would have assumed are hardliners who are kind of saying, ‘Maybe it was a mistake for us to do the things that we’ve done over the last 40 years. Maybe we should turn over a new leaf in the relationship with the United States of America.’”
They were slaughtering 40,000 of their own civilians just months ago; suddenly they’re going to get “normal”?
No: “Hardliner vs. moderate” is just a good cop-bad cop schtick the Iranians have pulled on Westerners for decades — right along with pretending regret over the past.
It’s beyond foolish to think the Iranians have changed just because they say so.
It seems to us that Team Trump doesn’t want to use force to open the Strait, it’s panicking over oil prices and the midterms and just wants to forget its promises to help the Iranian people.
We’d love to be proven wrong, and they haven’t given away the whole store yet.
Other than the cash Tehran takes in at the start, Washington can withdraw its promises as readily as the Iranians always do theirs.
Cross your fingers that the next 60 days show that Iran really has changed — or that the prez and his braintrust have come to their senses.
Lakewood Rav allegedly sent graphic pic, according to explosive sex-assault suit
 |
| Miryam Malachi |
A prominent New Jersey rabbi sexually assaulted a single mom — and even sent her a pic of his genitals, admitting, “Not great. But works” — before launching a cyber-smear campaign against her, court papers allege.
Married Rabbi Avraham Appel — who runs an elite rabbinical seminary in the tight-knit Lakewood Orthodox community — used “his position as a rabbi, mentor, and trusted community leader to sexually assault and exploit” mom-of-two Israeli immigrant Miryam Malachi for months, according the explosive Ocean County lawsuit.
Malachi, then a single mom, had approached Appel for financial help with daycare bills “during a period of acute financial distress” in 2020, says her suit filed earlier this year in Ocean County Civil Court.
Appel helped her financially, the lawsuit says. But things took a dark turn in June 2022, when Appel sexually assaulted her as she was home alone, court documents allege.
Appel “forced himself” on Malachi and “took sexual advantage of her” multiple times afterward, the suit claims.
He also sent her lewd texts with “incredibly crude and graphic sexual content,” including descriptions of oral sex, his desire to “squeeze your breasts” and an image of his genitals, the lawsuit says.
Appel wrote under the genitals image, “Not great. But works,” court documents claim.
When Malachi finally threatened to sue last fall, a vicious smear website popped up calling her “A DANGER TO KLAL YISROEL” — roughly meaning a threat to all Jewish people, her suit says.
Malachi claims Appel’s allies even plastered defamatory flyers at her children’s private school, according to the court papers.
Appel allegedly offered $50,000 to buy her silence before his lawsuit threat, a move she “vehemently rejected,” the suit says.
Appel and his lawyers have denied all of the accusations, claiming that the pair only had a “business relationship,” court papers show.
His lawyer, Ian Goldman, told The Post on Tuesday that Malachi’s “credibility, motives, and factual assertions are not only disputed but entirely fabricated.”
Goldman added that the “screenshots are fabricated and form part of what he contends is an extensive extortion and smear campaign directed against him,” and that Appel claims “even a cursory examination of the photographs at issue demonstrates that the individual depicted is not him.”
Appel’s court papers also accuse Malachi of fraud and extortion — and deny any connection to the website.
But subpoenaed records from GoDaddy revealed that the smear site was registered directly to Appel’s cell phone, his brother’s email and his business partner’s credit card, Malachi’s suit claims.

Rabbi Dov Landau orders Wednesday's mass protest cancelled
Rabbi Dov Lando, a preeminent authority in the haredi community, ordered the cancellation of a mass protest planned for tomorrow (Wednesday) over the arrest of deserters, which was expected to involve tens of thousands of haredim.
The decision was made last night (Monday), while preparations for the mass event had already ramped up and had been approved by another haredi leader, Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch.
At a meeting attended by representatives from the Degel HaTorah and Agudat Yisrael political factions, planners were to discuss the detailed arrangements for the demonstration, which was intended to block major roads with massive convoys of slow-moving vehicles.
However, during the discussion an urgent message arrived from Rabbi Dov Lando's home, with an explicit instruction to immediately halt preparations for the event.
