I joined @FoxNews @WillCainShow_ today to discuss conflicting assessments on the damage to Iran's nuclear sites. Tune in: foxnews.com/video/63748694…
Take a moment to read about the life of slain DC intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym and what his family has faced. Prayers to them for peace. washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jul/…
In @WSJopinion, I highlight that markets are mispricing South Africa’s growing sanctions and compliance risk. See more in: “Wall Street Misprices South Africa’s Collapse” “A reckoning is coming for South Africa. The Trump administration sees it. So does Congress. But financial…
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "Our facilities have been damaged — seriously damaged ... The facilities have been destroyed."
The United States will strike Iran again if necessary, President Donald Trump said on Monday night, responding to recent remarks by Iran’s foreign minister about the severe damage caused by Washington’s June strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. iranintl.com/en/202507221623
There is always video or audio, @araghchi.
The foreign minister of #Iran's regime lied to @BretBaier today on @FoxNews. Araghchi said it's not the policy of the Islamic Republic to kill the president of another country. But in 2019, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic stated publicly, “I am telling the Americans,…
All this talk about “national honor” and “dignity” is a smokescreen to protect their nuke bomb program. They’ve burned trillions on terror and weapons — and have nothing to show for it. The regime doesn’t speak for Iranians. Most of them despise it.
🚨 BREAKING: Talking exclusively to Fox News’ @BretBaier, Iran’s foreign minister reveals the country’s nuclear program was “damaged, seriously damaged” by recent U.S. attack and that its enrichment program is “all stopped.” He adds that Iran wants to “go for a negotiated…
Tehran appearing in total denial about diminished position following the 12-Day War, doubling down on rebuilding nuclear, missile, military capabilities. Denies wanting to assassinate Trump or current/former officials in face of plain evidence. Sound questions from @BretBaier.

Iran’s generals tighten grip on country after Israeli strikes. A former intelligence officer said things are so tense that top officials change safe houses every night and avoid using phones, fearing assassination. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
The Iran deal was sold by Obama, Kerry, and the rest of the pro-Iran echo chamber as tough on Iran. A bitter pill to swallow! A defeat for the hardliners! Critics said it was a gift to the regime. The regime has spent the last 10 years trying to stop Trump from dismantling it.
Iran’s continuous fight against snapback underscores the value of the resolutions.

In a letter addressed to UNSG @Antonioguterres, the President of the Security Council, EU High Rep Kaja and members of the UN Security Council, I have outlined why the E3 lacks any legal, political, and moral standing to invoke the mechanisms of the JCPOA and UN Resolution 2231…
Iran has very little leverage as the defeated party. Washington and the E3 should trigger snapback since those sanctions are the basis for a long-term containment policy. They should demand, not ask, for the safe return of IAEA inspectors as a condition of continued peace.
Iran will not return to nuclear negotiations unless three conditions are met: international condemnation of the recent attacks on its territory, compensation for war damages, and guarantees of no further aggression by the United States or Israel, a senior Iranian lawmaker said on…
Washington should also consider supporting the OPCW’s establishment of a special monitoring mechanism for Ukraine to further its investigations, argues @StrickerNonpro: fdd.org/analysis/2025/…
All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service and, if Iran wanted to do so, they would be much better off starting anew, in three different locations, prior to those sites being obliterated,…
To censure Russia, the administration should spearhead an effort in the Executive Council to provide Moscow an ultimatum to demonstrate compliance with the CWC within 90 days or face suspension of its voting rights and privileges, writes @StrickerNonpro: fdd.org/analysis/2025/…
Extending snapback and linking to a negotiation is a serious strategic mistake. Will never be a time, with this regime in power, that nuclear, missile, military, & proliferation restrictions in 2006-2010 UNSCRs are not needed. They lay the basis for a sound future deal.…
In a call last night with @araghchi, E3 foreign ministers and @kajakallas put on the table the possibility of extending the deadline for snapback under the nuclear deal, according to sources. The asks of Iran were a resumption of nuclear talks with the US and E3 and...-1-
