Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, head of the foreign-ops Quds Force division of Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), surfaced in Iraq on Saturday for meetings with Shiite militia groups loyal to Tehran. Qaani’s visit was part of a complex power struggle over the Iraqi prime minister’s office. Qaani kept a low profile throughout much of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. He seemed to disappear entirely in March, leading to speculation he had been killed by an airstrike, but he sent a congratulatory message to his forces in early April for supposedly administering “regrettable lessons to the enemies of humanity.” Qaani’s…

Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, declared late Monday that Tehran will not negotiate with the United States “under the shadow of threats,” warning Tehran is prepared to “reveal new cards on the battlefield” as a ceasefire deadline looms and the fate of renewed talks remains uncertain. Speaking in a post on X, Ghalibaf — who has led Iran’s recent negotiations alongside Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — accused President Donald Trump of attempting to turn diplomacy into “an instrument of surrender” through continued pressure, including a U.S. naval blockade. “Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks…

It happens to PragerU on a daily basis. Meanwhile, everyone else hears the labels. They see the headlines.

Josh Hutcherson, the actor who played the guy who was nowhere near man enough for his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence, believes President Trump has turned his hit franchise into a dystopian reality. In an interview with the far-left GQ we’re told that “For Hutcherson, seeing the echoes of the fantasy dystopian movies he played as a teenager actually unfold in real life is ‘frustrating.’” As politics gets more and more dire, more violent, more divisive, the comparisons become scarily real. Hutcherson is a realist, but he also understands the power of art. “Look, [that series] is not going to…

President Donald Trump said Monday he will not let Democrats pressure him into a deal with Iran that is less than optimal. Trump took to Truth Social in the afternoon to stress he will not be rushed into a deal by Democrats and that news reports suggesting he is facing pressure to cut a deal with Iran are false. He also forecasted a deal would materialize “relatively quickly,” writing: The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World…
