Hey @VP Vance, this is how it's done. We shouldn't govern by polls. We should govern by principle and what is right. #MAGA

To the people of Israel: I stand with you in grief, remembrance and solidarity on the third anniversary of October 7. We will never forget those murdered or the suffering of their families and the survivors. The Islamic Republic that armed and supported Hamas is the same regime that keeps Iranians in chains. When Iran is free, we will hold all those involved in these crimes accountable. Both our peoples deserve freedom and security. The bond between Iranians and Jews stretches back 2,500 years to Cyrus the Great. A free Iran will be a friend and partner to Israel. Lasting peace and stability for both our peoples will only come with the fall of the Islamic Republic.

🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is only permitted through routes designated by Iran. ✅ TRUTH: Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. Since early May, U.S. forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor.

A question I think we need an answer to: If we only targeted Iran's military and military targets, why do they need a $300 billion reconstruction fund? What will they reconstruct?

Deliver the Truth Whatever the Cost: Almost a decade ago, I stood at the White House and told the truth about Iran. Iran was then testing the new Trump administration. Today, my message remains unchanged. If America is to strike back, it must strike back with all forms of its strength (diplomatic, information, military and economic). Never apologize for American power. Never negotiate from weakness. If we act, America must act with overwhelming force using all forms of its power. That is not negotiable. Iran will never comply with any deal. They will rebuild. The Iranian people will suffer (even more). Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, et al., will benefit. The regime will grow stronger and they will eventually possess nuclear weapons. I remain anti-stupid war. However, when American prestige is significantly on the line (which it is now) and when you’re having to over-explain something (which it appears we are doing), that something is probably not a good thing. Speaking for myself as an American who has put his life on the line (time and again), this message is to the rest of the world and all the haters of our freedoms here at home (you know who you are); be careful what your next steps are because the American people deeply and sincerely love and cherish freedom and we are not about to willy-nilly roll over for anyone or any nation. Take that to the bank.

⚡️BREAKING NEWS: IRAN STATE TV HAS AGAIN LEAKED THE FINAL DEAL THEY WILL SIGN WITH THE UNITED STATES MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF PEACE I WONDER IF THERE ARE PEOPLE INSIDE OF IRAN STATE TV WHO ARE ON THE PEOPLE OF IRAN'S SIDE BECAUSE THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT DEAL FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAN 1.

The transitional authority shall not be treated as a permanent monarchy, republic, or final constitutional order. Its purpose shall be to stabilize the country, remove the organs of repression, protect the population, and prepare a national referendum and free elections. 10. All political prisoners, protesters, journalists, dissidents, dual nationals, foreign detainees, religious prisoners, and unlawfully imprisoned civilians shall be released immediately. 11. All regime prisons, detention centers, torture sites, and intelligence holding facilities shall be opened to international monitors, human rights investigators, and evidence preservation teams. 12.

Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan, Arak, and all declared or undeclared nuclear sites shall be placed under full multinational control, with unrestricted access for inspectors at any military, civilian, underground, academic, industrial, or suspected covert site. 14.

Iran shall provide full records of its proxy networks, weapons routes, financial channels, commanders, front companies, training camps, and foreign assassination or surveillance operations. 18. All Iranian-backed militias shall be required to disarm, demobilize, or submit to lawful national authorities in their respective countries under international supervision. 19. Iran shall formally recognize the right of Israel to exist and shall permanently renounce all state doctrines, slogans, policies, funding streams, and military programs directed toward Israel’s destruction. 20. Iran shall accept permanent freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, the Red Sea, and related maritime corridors. 21. The Strait of Hormuz shall be reopened immediately and placed under multinational maritime security guarantees, with no Iranian harassment of commercial vessels, naval vessels, energy shipments, or undersea infrastructure. 22. Iran shall surrender all naval mines, anti-ship missile systems, fast-attack craft networks, maritime drone systems, and IRGC naval assets used to threaten international shipping. 23. Frozen Iranian assets shall not be returned directly to former regime authorities. All released funds shall be placed into internationally supervised reconstruction, humanitarian, victim compensation, and stabilization accounts. 24. Any reconstruction package shall be conditional on verified compliance, disbandment of the IRGC, protection of civilians, release of prisoners, nuclear dismantlement, and cooperation with tribunal investigations. 25. Iran’s oil and petrochemical revenues shall be temporarily monitored through an international financial mechanism to ensure that funds are not diverted to rearmament, terrorism, repression, or proxy warfare. 26. A national Truth and Accountability Commission shall be created to document crimes committed by the Islamic Republic since 1979, including executions, torture, protest massacres, forced confessions, hostage operations, corruption, and foreign terror activity. 27. Victims of regime repression, families of murdered protesters, former political prisoners, victims of terrorism, and victims of unlawful detention shall be entitled to compensation through a dedicated reparations mechanism. 28. All regime archives relating to terrorism, assassinations, nuclear concealment, proxy warfare, corruption, protest crackdowns, and foreign hostage operations shall be preserved, seized, and opened to investigators. 29. Senior IRGC, Basij, intelligence, judiciary, and regime officials shall be barred from public office, military command, security service, state media control, and financial authority pending vetting and tribunal review. 30. The transitional authority shall begin constitutional reconstruction immediately, including a public referendum on Iran’s future form of government, followed by internationally monitored elections. 31. The future constitutional order of Iran shall be secular, sovereign, representative, and protective of basic civil liberties, including freedom of speech, religion, assembly, press, political association, and equal protection under law. 32. Iran shall enter a long-term compliance regime monitored by the United States, allied states, international inspectors, and relevant multinational institutions. 33. Any attempt to reconstitute the IRGC, restart prohibited nuclear work, obstruct inspectors, resume proxy support, close Hormuz, threaten Israel, detain foreign nationals, or conduct terror operations shall trigger automatic snapback sanctions, asset freezes, maritime interdiction, and renewed enforcement action. 34. No sanctions relief, reconstruction funding, oil export normalization, asset release, or diplomatic normalization shall occur until the United States and allied monitors verify actual compliance. 35. The United States shall not recognize any successor authority controlled by the IRGC, clerical hardliners, intelligence services, proxy commanders, or regime front figures. 36. The final agreement shall make clear that this is not a pause, not a ceasefire bargain, not a nuclear freeze, and not a sanctions-for-promises arrangement. It is the complete dismantlement of the Islamic Republic’s machinery of terror, repression, nuclear extortion, and regional war. 37. Upon verified compliance, the United States and its allies may support the reconstruction of a free Iran, reintegration into the global economy, restoration of lawful trade, and return of Iran to the community of nations under a new democratic order.
