What's Trump's next move on Iran?
President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio monitor the mission that struck three Iranian nuclear sites on June 21 at the White House. The aftermath of the 12-day war with Iran looks mixed more than two weeks later. Iran's nuclear program was badly damaged and likely set back for years. But the Ayatollah's government isn't admitting defeat and shows no signs of dropping its revolutionary or nuclear designs. That puts into focus the next policy question for the U.S.: Will Mr. Trump's cease-fire give way to diplomacy that deepens the achievements of the war, or will it put those achievements at risk? Iran is still talking tough and rejecting Mr. Trump's demands, even after bailing out of the fight with Israel and failing to respond in any serious way to the U.S. strikes. In a video message released several days after the U.S. bombing, a frail-looking Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed that the U.S. had to intervene to rescue Israel, and that Iran had 'dealt America a slap in the face." Mr. Trump didn't take kindly to the Ayatollah's revisionist history, which he corrected on Truth Social. The President added that 'Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them." But there's no sign Iran will surrender the remains of its enrichment program. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said after the war, 'Our people have endured sanctions for this, and a war was imposed on our nation over this issue. No one in Iran will abandon this technology." More ominously, Iran has driven out United Nations weapons inspectors, who left the country last week. It may drop out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This will make it impossible for inspectors to make a ground-level estimate of the damage done and track or collect any nuclear material that remains. Iran isn't hankering for normal relations with the West either. Senior regime clerics have called for Mr. Trump's execution. Iran's regime proclaims death to America and Israel, and it wages its forever war accordingly. Meanwhile, evidence is building that Tehran has escalated its terror campaign at home, with arrests and executions of opponents and minorities. What's the U.S. policy to grapple with all of this? White House envoy Steve Witkoff said a meeting with Mr. Araghchi will take place in the next week or so. Iran's Foreign Minister has been stalling, but a senior White House official tells us Iran wants sanctions relief as well as U.S. help with a civilian nuclear program. 'We have a very big ask" in return, the U.S. official says. It starts with removing whatever nuclear material and enrichment infrastructure remains, and continues with hard limits on Iran's missile program and an end to its support for regional terrorism. The return of inspectors and on-demand searches is essential. To extract concessions, Mr. Witkoff will need the full pressure arsenal. That should include public and other support for the Iranian people. Especially helpful would be so-called snap-back U.N. sanctions that were part of the 2015 nuclear deal. These would restore international bans on Iranian enrichment and nuclear-capable missiles. They'd also bar other states from helping Iran on those fronts. The U.S. will also have to enforce its sanctions against Iran's oil exports. Iran's oil output is now at a seven-year high, per U.S. Energy Department data. That's the regime's main source of financing. Will it be put in danger? The successful Israel-U.S. military operation has the regime more vulnerable than at any time since the Islamic revolution. Now is the moment to capitalize for a safer Middle East.

Trump says rolled back idea to remove sanctions on Iran because Tehran's ‘anger, hatred and…'
In a rather angry message to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, US President Donald Trump on Friday claimed that Tehran's 'anger, hatred, and disgust' made him drop working on possible removal of sanctions. In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump on Saturday warned Iran, saying that the country would have to get back into the 'World Order flow' or 'things will only get worse for them'. 'During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING!' Trump wrote. 'But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them,' he added in his long message. Trump on Friday dismissed media reports that said his administration had discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program. According to reports published by CNN and NBC News on Thursday and Friday respectively, the Trump administration in recent days had explored possible economic incentives for Iran in return for its government halting uranium enrichment. The reports cited sources. CNN cited officials as saying that several proposals were floated and were preliminary. "Who in the Fake News Media is the SleazeBag saying that 'President Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities? Never heard of this ridiculous idea," Trump wrote on Truth Social late on Friday, calling the reports a 'HOAX.' Since April, Iran and the US have held indirect talks aimed at finding a new diplomatic solution regarding Iran's nuclear program. Tehran says its program is peaceful and Washington says it wants to ensure Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon, a Reuters report said. Iran held a state funeral service on Saturday for around 60 people, including its military commanders, killed in its war with Israel, after Tehran's top diplomat condemned Donald Trump's comments on supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as 'unacceptable', an AFP report said. The proceedings started at 8:00 am local time (0430 GMT) in the capital Tehran as government offices and many businesses were closed on Saturday for the occasion. "The ceremony to honour the martyrs has officially started," state TV said, showing footage of thousands of people donning black clothes, waving Iranian flags and holding pictures of the slain military commanders. According to the report, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, along with other senior government officials and military commanders – including Esmail Qaani, head of the Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of the Revolutionary Guards – attended the event.

Trump urges Iran to 'get back into the world order flow'
US President Donald Trump has rejected the claim by Iran's supreme leader that Tehran's forces were "victorious" over Israel and the United States and pressed Tehran to rejoin the world order or face worse consequences. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed victory on state television on Thursday in his first address to the Iranian public since the ceasefire with Israel was announced. Trump lashed out at the statement as "a lie" in a social media post on Friday. He claimed he had saved Khamenei by not letting Israel or US forces kill him despite his whereabouts being known. The president said that he had been working on the possible removal of sanctions against Tehran in recent days, but that he immediately dropped that after what he said was "a statement of anger, hatred and disgust" by Khamenei. Trump warned that Iran ''has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them.'' He added, "I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR."

As you know, their sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots- what talent that was, and they (pilots) hit it right down in the spot- fifty-two thousand feet. Think of this- dark, no moon. You couldn't see a thing, and they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target... We're the only ones that could have done it. And we took out the two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off."Trump added in his remarks, "That was a very evil intention. I believe that, and again, time will tell, but I don't believe that they're (Iran) going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion dollars on nuclear, and they never got it together."He noted that nothing was moved away from the nuclear sites."It's very heavy material. Those cars were most likely the cars of masons because they were pouring concrete at the top of the hatch, going into the nuclear site. They wanted to reinforce it, and they had some masons there pouring concrete. By the way, that concrete was obliterated. It hit exactly at the concrete. It was, I don't think it had a chance to dry, but everything's down there. It's under millions of tons of rock."Trump's remarks come on the backdrop of Operation Midnight Hammer carried out by the US on 3 nuclear sites of Iran- Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
