OPINION:
Like Israel and many conservatives in America, I am unhappy with us forging a deal with the regime in Iran.
You can’t make a deal with the devil. Why is the Trump administration doing it? Because it had to. It had nothing but resistance from within, from the moment of its first attack on Iran.
That resistance starting with the Democrats, the best friend the Iranian regime has ever had. With their lackeys in the mainstream media, the political left has saturated America’s airwaves and the internet with negativity about everything concerning the Iran conflict in the hope that America will fail and the Democrats will take Congress in November.
The midterms are right around the corner. President Trump said that Iran’s negotiators are telling our negotiators that they are counting on the Democrats winning Congress in November.
Where are our allies? No country except Israel, lifted a finger to assist America in Iran — even though Europe and the Middle East are more in the crosshairs of Iran than we are. Some European countries would not even let our military fly over their airspace.
Then there are the Iranian people. Our hearts go out to them, but where were they when America and Israel attacked Iran? Although our military advised them to stay out of the streets during the initial bombing, at some point, the Iranian people should have risen up and overthrown the regime.
Finally, let us look at the American people. During the Iran conflict, gasoline went up approximately $1 per gallon. According to the Democrats and their media friends, you would think that was the end of the world. Mr. Trump’s approval ratings sank like a stone, even though gasoline was more expensive under the Biden administration, with no conflict with Iran.
The bottom line is that Iran will not comply with any deal and we will be attacking it again. Hopefully President Trump will have some support when that happens.
