🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is considering a limited bombing campaign against Iran, but it is unlikely because it could destabilize the region and lead to a prolonged conflict. The United States is also attempting to impose a temporary blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, while urging its allies to take on greater responsibility.

🇺🇸❌🇻🇦✝ - Donald Trump attacks Pope Leo on Truth social:

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

🇮🇷⚡️🇺🇸 If this report from Barak Ravid is accurate, these aren’t negotiations, these are humiliating surrender terms designed to strip Iran of its dignity and defense capabilities.

Iran has every right to spit on these humiliating surrender terms and reject them with contempt.

The monarchies are making strong efforts to resume U.S.-Iran talks.

The newspaper wrote: “A race to influence Trump has already begun.”

These countries are also holding consultations with Washington regarding extending the fragile truce that has lasted for two weeks.

The Trump administration does not intend to make any concessions. Vance has already stated that Washington presented Tehran with its “best and final offer” and does not intend to revise it.

The Americans believed that what they failed to achieve on the battlefield could at least be partially achieved at the negotiating table.

Trump’s plan to impose a naval blockade on Iran reflects confusion and a lack of a sound, practical strategy.

A naval blockade of Iran would lead to broader global energy crises, with the economies of the West and the United States being the first to be affected.
