U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to put more economic pressure against Iran and its allies. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote in part, "ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences." LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow is joined by Edmund Fitton-Brown, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, to discuss what this means for the U.S.-Iran war going forward.
President Trump on Monday warned Oman not to interfere with U.S. negotiations with Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to Fox News’ Trey Yingst, Trump said, “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the s--- out of them. This comes as the U.S. and Iran have yet to come to the table on a deal. Joe Jacks with the FDD weighs in on the conflict.

Ultra-Zionist Lebanese banker Antoun Sehnaoui is the man behind the curtain of Beirut's normalization talks with Israel.
Above: Antoun Sehnaoui with his girlfriend, former US envoy to Lebanon Morgan Ortagus, at the Holocaust Memorial Museum this April As the deadly Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon continues, the fabulously wealthy banker-turned-”philanthropist” Antoun Sehnaoui has assembled a network of business and media operatives – and a fascist Christian goon squad – in Beirut and Washington dedicated to doing Israel’s dirty work. In late July, Lebanese daily L’Orient Today exposed a wealthy banking heir named Antoun Sehnaoui as a driving force behind recent efforts to push the country to normalize relations with Israel as the apartheid state continues to occupy hundreds of square miles of southern Lebanon.

Only one nation in the world is milking these attacks for political benefit. It isn't the one being blamed for them.
By Michelle Witte A wave of strange property attacks targeting Jewish sites in Canada is attributed to apolitical youth paid in crypto. The violence follows the same playbook seen in Australia and the UK. While Iran and Palestine solidarity campaigners are blamed, Israel exploits the tension. Canada is the latest in a string of nations to attribute a wave of high-profile but mostly low-consequence attacks to a mysterious online “gun-for-hire” plot. If Canada follows the pattern set in Australia, Europe and the UK, the “foreign entity” its government is already blaming for orchestrating the petty violence will be identified as Iran. According to the Toronto Star , “Police believe that several young people have been hired to carry…Open

Foreign Affairs FDD’s President Has No Idea What To Do About Hormuz With the government finally pursuing exactly the strategy he prescribed, Clifford May admitted he is stumped about handling its consequences. Few think tanks have enjoyed more success with the Trump administration than the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), the pro-Israel lobby group founded and led by Clifford May, its president. FDD has aggressively lobbied for sanctions and military action against Iran for years. This week, as the government pursues the very strategy he prescribed, May admitted that he has no idea what to do about its consequences. …Open
On this episode of "On Balance": Leland Vittert examines President Trump’s historic trip to China. The Chinese have literally rolled out the red carpet for Trump, but the stakes have never been higher. Ahead of Trump's meeting with China's President Xi Jinping, China has presented its four red lines. Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, retired Gen. Philip Breedlove and Elaine Dezenski, senior director at the FDD Center on Economic and Financial Power, provide insight into what's at stake. Meanwhile, can China solve President Trump's economic woes at home? As the war in Iran rages on, gas prices are soaring and the cost of living is getting more unaffordable.

Tapped as Steve Witkoff's Iran advisor, Nick Stewart previously condemned dealing with Iran's elected leaders.
By Max Blumenthal The latest addition to the Trump administration’s Iran negotiation team, Nick Stewart, has declared his absolute opposition to negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to Stewart, “it’s important that we disabuse people of that notion” that anyone among Iran’s current leadership could serve as an “honest broker.” Stewart aruged that even the reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian must be treated as an inveterate enemy because he is “a part of the theocratic, tyrannical, authoritarian government of Iran.” He insisted that Pezeshkian “is not a reformer and we shouldn’t buy into that narrative, because what it does is it throws us off our guard.” This Substack is reader-supported.

Claims that an Iran-backed group is carrying out attacks in European cities raise questions about why they’re not targeting countries directly involved in the US-Israeli war, and why they appear to communicate like Israelis. Strangely, suspects arrested in the attacks have been released on bail.

Officially known as “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI),” or the “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right,” the group mysteriously appeared in early March, and, according to mainstream media, it’s taking the continent by storm. But a closer look at the supposedly Iran-backed terror organization suggests that it does not exist in any concrete form, and may be a confection of Israeli intelligence. Though the nebulous HAYI claimed credit for torching ambulances belonging to a Jewish community organization in London on March 23, two…Open
