The Islamic Republic of Iran was no longer hiding its ambitions or disguising its defiance. It was openly confronting the United States, discarding every red line and ultimatum Washington drew in the sand.
At the center of the regime’s defiance lay one uncompromising reality: Iran would not stop enriching uranium. U.S. President Donald J. Trump made it clear: if Iran wanted a deal, enrichment had to stop. Period. Iran repeatedly came back with “no.” Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his top nuclear negotiators declared again and again that enrichment was off the table. In fact, they escalated it. Iran’s leaders mistook Trump’s preference not to use crushing military force for a lack of resolve to stop them.
But they have friends all over …
TERRIFYING: In Paris, a crowd of Islamists and far-left activists attempt to invade a building, break into a Jewish man’s apartment, and LYNCH him simply because he flew the Israeli flag from his balcony.
