Donald Trump’s comprehensive victory in the U.S. presidential election has indisputably created a new international agenda. Trump’s Republicans now also have complete control of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Like him or hate him, he has become, unquestionably, the most powerful leader in the world. Donald Trump is returning to the White House with the promise to voters that he is a peacemaker and with a vow to end foreign wars. It is a daunting task. In the Middle East, conflict rages in Gaza and Lebanon. More than 43,000 people have been killed in Gaza, in a war with Israel triggered by the cowardly Hamas terrorist attack on innocent Israeli men, women and children on October 7, 2023. The war has gone on now for more than a year and many Israeli hostages are still being held in deplorable conditions. Trump’s strong support for Israel and his open antagonism against the Iranian regime, will confront him with his first major challenge. His guarantee to continue helping Israel,
It now looks like Florida Senator Marco Rubio will be appointed as Trump’s Secretary of State. Rubio is a stalwart supporter of Israel. In October 2023, he wrote on X: “Hamas is a terrorist organization created for the express & explicit purpose of driving every Jew out of the region & replacing Israel with a fundamentalist Islamic Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan to the Mediterranean. Israel has no choice but to eliminate Hamas.” In April this year, Rubio said on X: “The primary source of violence, conflict, suffering and instability in the Middle East is the criminal Islamic Republic regime (Iran).”
The news last week that the FBI has charged a man who claimed he had been tasked by the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to assassinate Trump during the presidential election campaign, has likely infuriated the president-elect. We may soon see a hardline policy against the mullahs. Even as an avowed peacemaker, Trump’s patience must be wearing thin.
Trump and Rubio are well aware the theocratic regime in Iran sits, menacingly, at the center of a web of conflict in the Middle East. The mullahs have backed the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon for decades. They sponsored, supplied and trained Hamas in Gaza, directing their 10/7 terrorist assault on Israel. They back the Shi’ia militias in Iraq who launch repeated attacks on American military targets, and they fund and sustain Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Their key role in backing the Houthi rebels in Yemen, encouraging their sporadic missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and Israel on commercial shipping in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, has seriously disrupted world trade.
The common factor in each of the conflicts across the Middle East is the fundamentalist Islamic Republic of Iran. The head of the snake of international terrorism and warmongering is in Tehran. The enduring failure of the West’s policy of appeasement toward Iran necessitates a profound and strategic reappraisal. The West, particularly Europe, has for far too long pursued a course of engagement with Tehran, rooted in the misguided belief that dialogue and concessions could moderate the mullahs’ menacing behavior. This approach has not only failed to achieve its objectives, but also emboldened the regime. Structurally resistant to genuine reform, Tehran has exploited this leniency to entrench its power, expand its influence across the Middle East, accelerate its nuclear weapons program, and suppress its own people with impunity. The regime’s intransigence is not a passing obstinacy but a fundamental trait. The only path to meaningful and lasting change lies in the complete overthrow of the decrepit theocracy, an outcome that can only be achieved by the Iranian people themselves, not by military conflict.
Western policy has long overlooked the Iranian people and their organized resistance, a negligence that has come at a significant cost. Critics of regime change contend that the collapse of the Iranian regime would trigger chaos reminiscent of the turmoil in Libya or Iraq. However, Iran is equipped with a well-organized and mature opposition, fully prepared to steer the nation through an orderly transition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), led by the charismatic Muslim woman, Maryam Rajavi, who has articulated a detailed Ten-point Plan for post-theocracy Iran.This is not a fragmented or nascent force but a cohesive, structured, and strategically minded movement, poised to lead Iran toward a stable, democratic, and secular state. The fall of the Tehran regime, therefore, need not descend into chaos but could instead signal the birth of a new, more prosperous era for the nation. The geostrategic consequences of this transformation would reverberate well beyond Iran’s borders. The current regime serves as a central pillar in the axis of global destabilization alongside Russia, North Korea and Venezuela. Turning Iran into a democracy would strike a decisive blow against this alliance, triggering ripple effects that would lead to a profound and favorable realignment of the international order.
A new policy approach must be anchored in resolute action, strategic pressure, and unwavering support for the Iranian people and their organized resistance. When he enters the White House again in January, President Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio, can shape international relations by adopting this course. The West can help orchestrate the demise of the mullahs’ regime, paving the way for Iran’s transition to a stable, democratic, secular republic. By cutting off the head of the snake, we would restore peace to the Middle East and the wider world. This outcome would not only uplift the Iranian people but also deliver a critical blow to the global axis of destabilization, thereby fostering a more secure and peaceful international order. With the Middle East aflame and Iran’s proxies effectively decapitated, the moment for decisive policy change is upon us, and it must be seized before the window of opportunity closes.
I hope he dose end the war gets a Peace Prize he deserves one better then Obama
Maybe we need to create a new peace prize rooted in a sane definition. Who wants a “prize” given to Obama and Arafat?
Nuke Iran and a lot of the world’s problems magically disappear. Overdue.
Israel already started the job a couple of weeks ago. Let’s do the mop-up in January.
Strength is the ONLY thing the mullahs in Iran understand! Ridding the Iranian people of these totalitarians using Islam as their cover will allow these truly enslaved people to reclaim their once vibrant culture with a long, dynamic past and have the people, usually well educated rebuild their country. Bringing it into the 21st century again.
This is a very informative article that clearly shows the epicenter of the violence in the Middle East and how to rid the world of head of this snake. However, given the still remaining tribal affiliations, conflicts and the hostility between the Sunni and the Shia Muslims within the various Middle Eastern countries, there may well be additional issues. Hopefully, these countries will highly value progress and prosperity more than constantly warring against each other. But, if we can essentially end the rampant terrorism orchestrated via Iran and the constant bloodshed perhaps these countries will begin to emerge from the tyranny of these death cults and embrace life. From our hearts, to G-d Almighty!!
Here’s is a plan for ME peace:
Destroy hamaSS.
Destroy hez-noballsah.
Destroy i-ran.
Move the Gaza fakestineans to Jordan.
Israel takes Gaza back.
Move all abba-dabba from Judea and Samaria to Jordan.
Israel declares / annexes (whatever works) Judea and Samaria as Israeli and forbidden to abba-dabbas under penalty of death.
Israel starts automatically executing any abba-dabbas doing any kind or level of violence against Israelis and expelling their families.
When I say “Jordan” I say “or the Mediterranean”, whatever works.
Israel destroys the houthi pisslim orcs.
Israel FAFOs any other pisslims as needed.
Maryam Rajavi is a Marxist Muslim terrorist who 80 million Iranians despise her.
Donald Trump has an excellent idea and his plain should and needs to be put into action. Which is that the “US President-elect Donald Trump administration is preparing to reinstate its ‘maximum pressure” strategy against Iran….” For those Muslim despots of Iran hate America and the American people with a spiteful Islamic vicious passion. Likewise, they hate Israel and the Jewish people there citizen with a spiteful Islamic vicious passion.
To put this in another way, those tyrants in people couldn’t even care less about the basic human rights of the Iranian people who are trapped that that horrific Islam regime. So how much less ,if possible, would those fiendish dictators care for or about the human rights of Americans and Israeli’s.
Therefore, Donald Trump, after he becomes President, on 1/20/25 he will do something about those through sanctions. For no longer will no longer have a policy of appeasement towards those hostile anti –America and anti- Israel Muslim despots of that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran. That vicious cruel malicious “mullah tyranny” of Iran is so completely evil that it murders many young women and even children .This is not beyond the limits of evil of that brutal cruel malicious bloodthirsty tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
As a former Muslim who revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
Those two words that author used “merciless tyranny” to describe that vicious cruel brutal oppressive Islamic and murderous Islamic tyrannical regime is both appropriate and fitting. Just look at those brutal horrendous malicious murders by the state Islamic police and of so many Iranian who are justly and rightly protesting the severe human rights abuses cruel oppression of that tyrannical Islamic regime.
Indeed, the tyrants of that horrendously brutal cruel oppressive and murderous Islamic regime of Iran are very guilty and have the blood of many innocent people on their wicked hands.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq page 347.
Donald Trump revealed that he has both knowledge and wisdom because he taken the right action about those fiendish despots of Iran. They should have sanctions reinstated against their wicked Islamic tyranny of Iran. Which acts America and even supplies deadly weapons to its jihad stooge proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, to engage in murderous jihadist attack s against the citizens of the State of Israel.
Furthermore, those dictators of that “mullah regime” are so very despicable evil that they even inflect oppression misery and death on the Iranian people. For that horrendously brutal, cruel oppressive malicious and murderous Islamic regime of Iran, denies the Iranian, people their basic natural human rights.
Therefore, the Iranian people are right and righteous by engaging in bitter and strong protests against those cruel malicious and murderous tyrants in power of that cruel and oppressive Sharia based dictatorship of that Islamic regime of Iran.
In other words, those vicious despots of that horrendously horrific Islamic regime have provoked the people excessively too far.
In addition, some of the people who trapped in and forced to exist in the Islamic dictatorship of Iran might not know about the intellect philosopher John Locke, but his ideas do apply to them. For Mr. Locke taught that any good government has the duty to ensure the security and safety of its citizens. Yet when a tyranny is the people in the tyrannical government do have every natural and ethical right to overthrow that terrible and oppressive tyrannical government.
