Trump Shifts Threats to Iran Making the Warmongers Happy

All we are saying, is give war a chance.

“You close it, and you won’t have a country. You won’t even make it back to your f—ing country,” said Trump.

Trump Shifts Focus to Iran

Truth Social: Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Jun 21, 2026, 7:30 AM

The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Threatens to Strike Iran Over Hezbollah as Lebanon Snarls Talks

President Trump warned the U.S. could strike Iran over its support for Hezbollah, as fighting between the militant group and Israel threatened to upend the preliminary peace deal he signed last week and close the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Trump’s comments on social media came as Vice President JD Vance was in Switzerland for talks with Iran that had been diverted to focusing on last week’s flare-up in Lebanon instead of the discussion on Iran’s nuclear program that the administration had wanted.

Last week, Trump and Vance aired the administration’s frustration with Israel after what they called a heavy-handed retaliatory strike nearly derailed their deal with Iran. Israel has argued that it will keep fighting as long as Hezbollah does.

Trump’s new comments Sunday focused on Iran instead.

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble,” Trump said on social media Sunday. “If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”

Fox News reported that Trump said in an interview that he had spoken with Iranian officials Saturday night and warned them not to close the strait.

“You close it, and you won’t have a country,” Fox said, quoting Trump. “You won’t even make it back to your f—ing country.”

In a sign of the high stakes in Switzerland, Vance is leading the talks for the U.S. with Iran’s chief negotiator, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is heading the team from Tehran. The two sides began direct talks at the Alpine resort of Bürgenstock after meeting separately with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan, according to Iran’s state media.

Vance struck an upbeat tone after his initial round of talks with Iran.

“We’ve already made great progress over just the last few hours, and I expect that we will make additional progress in the hours to come,” Vance said in an impromptu press conference at the site of the negotiations, adding that conditions were improving in Lebanon.

If Iran stops what the vice president called destabilizing activities, the U.S. is ready to “turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran,” Vance said.

Iran’s Ghalibaf was absent from the press conference.

“The Israeli regime continues to violate its commitments,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said earlier Sunday, arguing that the U.S. had been unable or unwilling to rein in its ally. “This issue is the main subject of today’s talks.” 

In response to the latest escalation, Iranian security officials on Saturday said they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic waterway was still shut Sunday, according to Iran’s military-affiliated Fars news agency. The U.S. military said the strait remained open and that it would monitor the situation to make sure it didn’t change. Ship tracker Lloyd’s List said some transits continued, albeit at a limited rate.

The Trump administration has vacillated in its messaging to Israel, criticizing Israel in tough terms last week for what it called excessive use of force but other times supporting its right to address security threats.

President Trump is coming under pressure at home from Iran hawks like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.).

“As we pursue diplomacy, make it crystal clear that Israel will not have to tolerate being attacked by Iranian proxies who cause parts of Israel to be uninhabitable,” Graham said Friday on social media.

Some Hope Trump Wipes Iran Off the Face of the Earth

Killing Abel: “Trump is being driven by his critics back to bombing… I hope his critics succeed. Iran will no longer be a problem if it is wiped off the face of the earth.”

War – The Final Solution

Mish: The apparent solution here is to wipe everyone off the earth who disagrees with you. Hmm. That would sure end the fighting.

God Supports Wiping Iran Off the Face of the Earth

Killing Abel: Hey Mike, nice to hear from you! God decided war was better than your desire for a one-world government. I will stick with God on this one (and everything). Babel was the only way out so, God made war/conflict over what you call “mongering”. Thinking is not that painful, give it a try!

Note the amazing irony of Abel’s comment regarding “desire for a one-world government.”

Wiping everyone off the face of the earth who disagrees with you would lead to one of two extremes. The first is a one-world government led by Trump or someone like Abel.

The second is no one lives at all. But hey ….

Give War a Chance

I have the perfect musical tribute. We just have to change one word.

“All we are saying is give war a chance”

Historical Notes

John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s iconic anti-war anthem “Give Peace a Chance” was recorded and released in 1969. It was written during their famous Bed-In for Peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada.

The song was officially released as a single on July 4, 1969, in the UK and on July 7, 1969, in the US. Credited to the Plastic Ono Band, it was the first solo single released by Lennon while he was still a member of the Beatles.

We Failed

You have to admit, “Give War a Chance” has a great ring to it.

Clearly we failed. I blame John Lennon because he had the message backwards.

We forgot to wipe Vietnam off the face of the earth. Think how much better off we would all be if only that had happened.

Fortunately, we have a second chance to prove this brilliant theory.

Given Trump has been threatening both Israel and Iran, the solution is obvious. We need to wipe both Iran and Israel off the face of the earth (and anyone who disagrees).

That would include me. But that’s OK because wiping everyone off the earth who disagrees would surely lead to world peace.

Meanwhile, Vance cites progress. That’s ridiculous.

How can there possibly be progress without a sincere effort to wipe Israel and Iran off the face of the earth?

Getting rid of both countries would end the war instantly, giving Trump his coveted Nobel Peace Prize.

War, the Final Solution

Qatar is rushing to return production at Ras Laffan LNG facilities. They hope to get back to 50% production within a month and 80% within two months. Unfortunately, this rush to restore production resulted in an explosion at one facility on Sunday night. At least 50 people injured and 18 missing. The extent of the damage is not yet known. Whether this slows down the rush to production is also unknown at this time.

Progress in negotiations.

U.S., Iran agree on roadmap for final deal and plan to end military operations in Lebanon
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the talks as having delivered “major progress,” saying Tehran had secured what he described as waivers for oil and petrochemical exports, the lifting of the blockade on its ports, the release of some frozen assets and the launch of a reconstruction and development plan.

Iran is going to keep getting these concessions, a bit at a time. 59 days to go.

Without this everything (IMO) is just theatre.

This is probably priming to push forward momentum in the US markets. As I’m sure an hour or two before US markets open news will break that Iran has promised something or another, or Trump agreeded to something or another and the markets will think the peace deal is coming in hours, maybe even seconds.

Iran is counting on Israel to be the wild card. And if Israel starts to back off, Hezbollah will be instructed to force them to keep responding.

Iran is using Israel’s actions as the excuse to glean more concessions from a desperate US negotiating team, that is inexperienced and unprepared.

The longer the situation in Lebanon drags out, the more Iran achieves.

JD Vance Is Wrong: Israel Is Not Just Another Ally

by Ahmed Charai

June 22, 2026 at 4:00 am

Vice President JD Vance is wrong about Israel.

He is wrong to suggest that Israel is an ally like any other. He is wrong to treat the fears of America’s most reliable Middle Eastern partner as a political inconvenience. And he is wrong if he believes that America First requires public impatience with Israel and the Gulf while granting diplomatic patience to Iran.

This is not how a great power reassures its friends. This is not how America preserves deterrence. And this is not how the Vice President of the United States should speak when the security of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait is at stake.

The Vice President’s Words Carry Tremendous Weight

I say this as a friend of America, a friend of Israel, and a believer in peace. The United States has every right to reject endless wars. The American people have every right to demand restraint, prudence, and discipline from their leaders. But restraint is not indifference. Prudence is not public scolding of allies. And America First cannot mean allies last.

Mr. Vice President, you are not a podcaster competing for applause. You are not a commentator engaged in one-upmanship before microphones and cameras. You are the Vice President of the United States. Your words do not disappear into the noise of a media cycle. They travel through embassies, war rooms, intelligence services, royal courts, parliaments, markets, and military headquarters. They reassure allies, or they alarm them. They deter enemies, or they encourage them.

I agree with JoJo but for different reasons. Vance was too much of a wimp and too interested in becoming president to do what was right – say upfront that he opposed Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional war against a country that had done nothing to us and posed us no danger. Instead of dancing around it he should have let his “no” mean no. Trump could have him killed but he can’t fire him. Vance may be slightly less odious than Rubio, but he’s hardly a profile in courage and he seems like a snake in the grass – especially his connections to Palantir and the tech mafia.

I’ve thought about nuking Jerusalem and eliminating everyone’s claim to it. No one has to die, just reduce it to a contaminated relic of dust. If God wills it not to be so, then He will figure a way to not let it happen. Lincoln once pondered the claim that both the north and the south each thought god was on their side. His rationale was then that god willed the war to be fought. But god did give us a brain. Too bad too few people actually use it properly.

The Israelis are students of our history. Once enough time has passed, conquered lands become “yours” and ethnic cleansing and genocide are hand-wiped away with “oops, our bad”. That’s not to approve of Israel’s actions. And in defense of “manifest destiny” there was no way a continent of ~ 20 million mostly nomads without the wheel, ruminants or metallurgy could realistically hold off millions of Europeans overflowing their continent. As Sherman Alexie has said “you had guns. We had sticks”. The Middle East is different, but in any case, we shouldn’t be a party to Israel’s efforts.

Lebanon has their own military. Hezbollah/Iran does not get to make decisions for Lebanese politicians or their military. Their President has said this recently.

As long as Hezbollah continues to bomb Northern Israel for their own reasons, Israel will continue to return fire and will continue to take and hold buffer land in Lebanon to keep Hezbollah farther away from from Israel.

Everything you said is true. Of course, part of Hezbollah’s reasons are that Israel responded to Oct 7 (arguably known in advance by Netanyahu and during which roughly half of the Israeli dead were killed by Israel as part of its Hannibal Directive) by flattening a population of 2.5 million, killing hundreds of thousands of mostly innocents. “There are no innocents” works both ways. Also, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel in the West Bank since Oct 7 exceeds the number of Israelis killed by Hamas on an October 7th. Israel deserves Hezbollah’s rockets, which – unfortunately – aren’t particularly effective.

This is part of a larger issue which sits between Eastern and Western ideologies and their very different views on how the world should be organized, and its direction.

When we talk about decisive wins there’s no doubt that Iran isn’t gonna win this without bringing down the world economy, and I’m of the belief it should follow through. This in fact could trigger a US market crash, and that time maybe approaching fast.

But this is just one part of the issue as stated this will bring down the world economy and as such could trigger other govts who sat on the sidelines to start to enter the war theatre. Examples could be the EU/Russian conflict, or the China and Taiwan integration. And the Middle East situation ending up as a full on regional war.

So in that regard we are definitely entering into “the years-long path to [where the] outcome is horrific…” at least (in my view) for Westerns (but that said others will suffer as well), which I refer to these years as the hell on earth years.

“Imagine there’s no heaven/It’s easy if you try/No hell below us/Above us only sky/Imagine all the people/Living for today… Aha-ah…

Tanker trackers says that 36 mb of Iranian oil has been shipped by Iran since June 15, with another 36 mb still in floating storage. Plus 6 mb of Saudi crude has exited the strait. Other than that, a couple of LNG ships have exited. There is likely a bit more getting out, but still nowhere near what was shipped before the war.

Iran is still restricting flows through the strait, while their oil flows freely.

They have more leverage now than they had before the war began.

Here’s the solution ( But not a “Final Solution”..). We all like business and free-markets and such. And all this silly politics and religious nonsense god-tawk is getting in the way of doing business and making money. It’s got to stop. The political goofs have to go. All of them. Forget about hate-mongers like Israel and Iran. What the world needs are private-sector nuclear weapons. Lots of them. Everything from small tactical 500 kiloton devices, to a few good sized “world-burners” that could use cobolt-thorium-G, in full fusion-augmented mode, for say, 20 to 30 megatons. Not that hard to do, really. We could even trade them. Elon Musk could put a few hundred small ones into orbit, and we could then just auction the launch and deployment codes. Wise businessmen would recognize – just like the nation-states did, back in the 1960’s – that the value comes from having, not using them – mutually assured destruction, and so on.

We could have world-peace – but only if we get the nukes into private-sector hands. Government loony types and USA and Russia/China/Israel/North-Korea should be require to auction-off all their nukes to wealthy business persons.

We could have peace-in-our-time.

Concerning Jericho the very first city conquered by the Israelites upon entering the Land of Canaan.

Joshua 6
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.

Jericho spanned about 9 to 10 acres, the fortified area was approximately 225 meters by 80 meters with a circumference of 600 meters. It housed an estimated 3,000 people during its peak. About the size of three to four football fields

I guess they thought that God needed more Gold and Silver.

But something called Vietnam happened. Something called 2000’s Global War on Terror happened. The USA is 0 for 2 on attempted deep Eurasian military penetrations. Domestically it would start major revolts in the USA. USA people do not see Iran as existential, the way Israelis do, to sacrifice their sons and daughters for. Simple facts.

Doesn’t matter. If Trump orders a draft for boots on the ground, then it will happen. ALthough realistically, if the US is going to go into Iran, the local Arab armies should be part of the invasion. We would be protecting them just as well as Israel!

Great plan. It worked well in Irak, Afghanistan and Vietnam so one wonders why the boots arent on the ground yet.

Abel is the exact kind of guy who wants his kids to see combat but certainly not himself. What a pussy. I dunno what “god” he worships but it’s certainly not the God with the capital G I know. We need to start putting people with this kind of religious psychosis where they belong: in an institution.

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12, so says the real God.

You hardly ever hear how Iran is a religious war – from Iran, Israel, and the U.S. The problem is that religious wars by their nature are existential threats, which means peace is that much more difficult to achieve. It would be nice if Loonie Tunes like Michael Tieman had web pages to explain how they come to the theological beliefs they so passionately hold.

Things have changed people. The promiscuous use of military force, with no risk to the US homeland is over. Iran has proven it can destroy all energy infrastructure in the Middle east, not to mention US military installations, if Trump reinstates military madness. Worldwide severe economic dislocation, possibly a Greater Depression and much lower living standards would result; around the world and yes, in the US.

What will it be today: humanitarian transformation? Threats of total annihilation? Both?
For now, Trump is bending toward the path of (perceived) least resistance, around an immovable object: Netanyahu. In five minutes, he will abruptly remember another force: an awakening American public. But meanwhile, he will dither, bluster, and spew sales rhetoric in all directions, while the situation crumbles. Finally, perhaps a global economic crisis will provide a sufficiently strong message, to back up the ultimate TACO move, whatever that is. Bet that it will diminish the USA’s credibility beyond its current sorry state.

What’s clear is that those with connected power be sure and take care of themselves!! “What’s on the menu? Some endangered species from The Strait? Sold! Cancel negotiations for today. Resumption is TBD based on future “Catch of the Days”!””

Here’s where you can freely track what if anything is getting through the Strait.

they haven’t stopped since 3/9/2009, not sure why you think they would stop after 20 years. been a cocked hat ever since the markets were ’bout to be exposed to the massive leverage and the Fed stepped in, changing financial reporting rules, illegally buying up assets with “money” they get to print, paying money on reserves which recapitalized the insolvent insitituions over time.

don’t mistake this administration for any other since then…or likely ever going forward. until and unless the bond vigilantes exert pressure and/or the labor market rolls over, or perhaps some exogneous event triggers a sell off, this market and its complicit American citizenry “wants number go up” cuz “go down bad”.

this administration is just misusing the war and daily rhetoric for its version of manipulation. gets so tiring to watch.

And they are begging for $300 billion to repair their infrastructure from the war.
