The Muslim Brotherhood’s War to Destroy the United States from Within: Part I    Jihad in Texas

By Robert Williams   May 29, 2026
  • “The Ikhwan [Muslim Brothers] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — From the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.”
  • “What the Islamic movement is doing… is they are waging war, total war. Again, not primarily violent, but total war: Counter-intelligence, espionage, subversion, economic warfare… in order to overthrow the government and replace it with an Islamic state under Sharia. Not only is that what they teach their children. It’s what Islamic law requires.” — John Guandolo, National Security Consultant, former FBI agent, April 2026.
    • In Texas, the jihad to transform the US and Western civilization prompted the state’s Governor Greg Abbott, last November, to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.
    • “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’ The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable… These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.” — Texas Governor Greg Abbott, November 18, 2025.
      • The man behind the EPIC/Meadow project in Texas is Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi, who is Chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America, which is named in the Brotherhood’s “Explanatory Memorandum” as one of the organizations involved in the “civilizational jihad”/grand jihad strategy in North America.
      • [O]n every major college campus in Texas, you’ve got the Muslim Brotherhood’s Muslim Student Association…. You have Hamas doing business as Students for Justice in Palestine on college campuses… kind of under the umbrella of American Muslims for Palestine…You have… dozens of properties in Texas owned by the North American Islamic Trust [NAIT], which is not only a Muslim Brotherhood organization, but in the largest terrorism financing trial in American history, US vs Holyland Foundation trial, which was adjudicated in Dallas, Texas in 2008. NAIT was not only identified as a Muslim Brotherhood organization, but an organization that directly funds Hamas organizations and leaders. And it’s operating all over Texas. You have the Islamic Society of North America, also identified in that trial as a Muslim Brotherhood organization directly funding Hamas, operating in Texas with subsidiaries… and the list goes on… numerous Islamic schools… and now you’ve got right here in Garland a massive Quranic academy… So it’s just… everywhere. And Yaser Qhadi, who’s running the Plano Islamic Center, is not only a senior Muslim Brotherhood jurist. He is the senior Muslim Brotherhood jurist. He’s the chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America, which is the Muslim Brotherhood’s legal entity that oversees the entire Islamic
        • movement in North America….” — John Guandolo, April 2026.
          • Qadhi, of course, is not the only Brotherhood operative in Texas creating parallel Islamic societies. According to RAIR Foundation: “Longtime Muslim Brotherhood operative Main Al Qudah is building a $70–80 million, 30-acre fully autonomous Sharia-adherent Islamic enclave in rural Katy, Texas — a self-sustaining parallel society featuring a grand mosque, K-12 school, Islamic university, apartments, health clinic, sports fields, and its own strip mall, while openly using Texas taxpayer school voucher funds to raise the next generation of Muslims from cradle to grave with almost no contact with the non-Muslim world outside.”
          • In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned that “the spread of Islamist ideology, in some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood” poses a threat as it seeks to establish “an Islamist caliphate which governs based on Sharia.” Gabbard went on to say that “there are increasing examples of this in various European countries.”Not quite. The Muslim Brotherhood is actually hard at work establishing an Islamic state based on sharia law in the United States. They have, in fact, been at it for decades. The 1991 Muslim Brotherhood “Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” provides a detailed blueprint of how to destroy the US and Canada. According to the memorandum:

ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWSUIT

May 29, 2026

 

If election integrity  is a problem in North Carolina, you might want to find out if it is a problem in your state too !   Nancy

https://amac.us/newsline/politics/rnc-wins-major-election-integrity-lawsuit-in-north-carolina/?utm_objective=website_traffic&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=amac&utm_medium=daily_news_am&utm_content=rwm052926&dderh=6b6744732406e76eeb7143ad7560706c

RNC Wins Major Election Integrity Lawsuit in North Carolina

Posted on Friday, May 29, 2026
|

by Alan JamisonThe Republican National Committee (RNC) celebrated a significant victory this week after the Wake County Superior Court ruled on Tuesday that non-residents cannot vote in North Carolina’s elections.

North Carolina previously allowed adults who were born outside of the United States to vote in state elections if their “parents or guardians last lived in this state before moving overseas,” according to The Carolina Journal. The state’s Uniform Military and Overseas Voter Act allowed these individuals who had never lived in North Carolina – so-called “never-residents” – to vote in the state’s elections.

The issue played a significant role in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election, in which Democrat candidate Allison Riggs defeated Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin by fewer than 734 votes out of more than 5.5 million cast. Riggs was not certified as the winner until May 2025 because Griffin challenged the results in both state and federal court.

Griffin specifically challenged the legality of 65,000 votes, including some from voters who never lived in the state. As the Journal reported, most of those votes “were cast by voters with registration records that appeared to lack federally required driver’s license or Social Security numbers.” Additionally, Griffin’s challenges focused on “overseas voters who provided no photo identification and ‘never residents,’ voters who checked a box on a voter form indicating they had never lived in North Carolina.”

As conservatives pointed out at the time, it is absurd to allow individuals who do not and have never lived in North Carolina to help decide the outcome of North Carolina elections. In this case, the “never-resident” voters were voting for judges who made decisions that the voters themselves would not be subject to.

The RNC explained in a statement that the North Carolina Supreme Court last year ruled in Griffin’s case that “people who have never lived in the state cannot vote in state elections.” But while the North Carolina Board of Elections did stop allowing non-residents to vote in elections for state-specific offices, they continued to allow these non-residents to vote in federal elections.

As a result, the RNC sued the North Carolina Board of Elections to ensure that only North Carolina residents can vote state as well as federal elections moving forward. The RNC explained that Wake County Superior Court’s ruling this week confirmed the state’s Supreme Court decision that “the North Carolina Board of Elections violated the state constitution by allowing individuals who were born overseas and have never lived in North Carolina to vote in federal elections in the state.”

RNC Chairman Joe Gruters praised the decision as a victory for fair elections.

“This is a clear win for fair and lawful elections,” Gruters said. “The court upheld the North Carolina Constitution and made clear that only North Carolina residents can vote in the state. The RNC will keep fighting to ensure only eligible citizens can vote.”

North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Jason Simmons agreed with that sentiment.

“This ruling confirms the state constitution forbids voting by individuals who have never lived in North Carolina,” Simmons said. “The Court of Appeals and Supreme Court decisively ruled on this previously and the decision reaffirms the common-sense principle only North Carolina citizens can vote in North Carolina elections.”

The RNC also confirmed that this ruling does not impact any federal law. The committee explained that the ruling “does not affect voters who qualify under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which applies to U.S. citizens who have previously lived in a state or who are currently serving overseas.”

GLOBALISM SEEKS TO KILL THE NATION STATE

GLOBALISM SEEKS TO KILL THE NATION-STATE
Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker,
Tyler Durden    May 25, 2026 

  People are beginning to understand that those who rule in their name have long been working to eliminate the nation-state.

The United Nations is not neutral ground for national governments to discuss their differences; it is a governmental construct meant to replace national governments.  The World Health Organization is not an international body meant to coordinate complex responses to global health emergencies; it is an institution vested with vast power and authority to track and regulate every human on the planet.  The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank Group, and the International Monetary Fund don’t exist to expand free trade, open markets, and assist developing nations; they exist to centralize control over all economic transactions in the world.

he onslaught of “green new deal” laws in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand have nothing to do with preserving the environment or “saving the planet”; they are part of a broader U.N. initiative to track every person’s so-called “carbon footprint” in order to monitor, tax, and regulate all human activity.  The U.N.’s “climate reparations” policy has nothing to do with “justice” or “science”; it exists to justify the redistribution of wealth from Western nations to non-Western nations under the guise of “international law.”

The message we have heard all our lives is loud and clear: Nations do bad things.  International organizations do good things.

The rhetorical war on “nationalism” didn’t begin because people who are proud of their nations magically became Nazis; people who are proud of their nations are called “Nazis” so that those who rule over us can demonize the nation-state.  If you go back through newspapers and scholarly essays before WWII, “nationalism” and “patriotism” are used interchangeably.  After WWII, there is an obvious linguistic break.  “Patriotism,” for the most part, survives as an acceptable civic virtue (How else can governments send men into battle if there are no patriots?).  “Nationalism,” however, becomes increasingly used through the decades as a derogatory term linked to fascism — as if the very organizing concept of a nation-state is inherently authoritarian and anti-democratic.

Thinking about this anti-nationalism campaign for more than a second reveals its silliness.  Why would a constitutional republic with representative democracy be “fascist” at the national level but “democratic” when organized internationally?  Why would the Executive leader of a nation such as Germany, France, or the United States be more “authoritarian” than the secretary-general of the U.N. or the president of the European Commission?  Why would an international governing body be considered more “democratic” than a town, region, or nation of people governing themselves?  Why should the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, be considered Europe’s “representative leader” when the European people never voted for her to “represent” them?

The U.N. has 193 member state ambassadors representing roughly 8.3 billion people.  Why should such a minuscule parliamentary assembly be considered “democratic” or “representative” at all?  At best, it uses the veneer of “democracy” to justify imposing its authoritarian will upon all of humanity.  Whether one dictator or 193 dictators working in concert — when humanity is forced to obey the edicts of rulers, it doesn’t matter if those edicts come from a national or international body.

Natural rights and freedoms do not become more natural because 193 people in New York City say so.  God-given liberties exist despite the existence of government, not because of government.  The more people over whom a government claims jurisdiction, the less likely that any one person’s natural rights will be respected and protected.  When a citizen cannot look his “representative” in the face, his “representative” is much less concerned about infringing that citizen’s natural liberties.

International governments are no less likely to become totalitarian than national governments.  Just as Hitler’s national socialism and Mussolini’s fascism did last century, international tyranny prefers to disguise itself as something peaceful, benevolent, and for the common good.  Had Hitler successfully conquered Europe, perhaps the German Empire would have been called the European Union.  Had Hitler conquered the world, perhaps the U.N.’s headquarters would be in Berlin.  National totalitarianism becomes international totalitarianism just as easily as national mask and vaccine mandates transform into “vaccine passports” and World Health Organization mandates.

Germany: Muslim migrants accused of luring underage girls into prostitution in exchange for hard drugs

By Robert Spencer   May 23, 2026

Muslim rape gangs are not only in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, as is demonstrated with abundant evidence in Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It. And so now we see them in Germany, and the perpetrators are “predominantly of Syrian, Pakistani, and North African origin.” In Britain, they’re predominantly Pakistani, which has led a handful of courageous individuals who are not quite courageous enough to refer to them as “Pakistani grooming gangs.” But they didn’t destroy the lives of English girls on an industrial scale because they were Pakistani. They did it because they were Muslim. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

The perpetrators in this case in Nuremberg were all Muslim, but of different nationalities. Will any investigator start to look into whether Islam provides any justification for this behavior? Not on your life. That would be “Islamophobic.”

“Migrant grooming gangs in Nuremberg accused of luring underage girls into prostitution in exchange for hard drugs,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, May 22, 2026:

Migrant drug gangs in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg are accused of exploiting underage girls by luring them with gifts, getting them hooked on hard drugs, and then demanding sex in exchange for further supplies, according to a press release from the state police.

The suspected exploitation centered on Nelson Mandela Platz near the city’s main railway station, as well as nearby areas including Südstadt and Celtispark, which have long been known to police for drug crime.

In a statement published on Thursday, Bavarian Police said investigators found growing evidence that members of the drug scene were deliberately approaching young girls from unstable family and living situations. The men identified so far are described by police as predominantly of Syrian, Pakistani, and North African origin.

The girls, some as young as 13, were allegedly first offered affection and gifts such as clothing or cosmetics. Investigators believe they were later supplied with hard drugs, including crystal meth. Once dependent, they allegedly received further drugs only in exchange for sexual acts or other “services,” with some forced into prostitution.

Ten people have been identified so far, according to the Nürnberger Nachrichten. Four are under investigation for offenses including drug trafficking, supplying drugs to minors, and sexual crimes. A 23-year-old Syrian national is already in custody, while arrest warrants have been issued for two men still on the run: a 22-year-old Syrian and a 25-year-old stateless person. An 18-year-old Pakistani national is also under investigation….

It is possible that the investigation could uncover a larger grooming gang scandal across the city, with youth welfare officers already sounding the alarm about the scale of the problem. Frank Schmidt, deputy head of Nuremberg’s youth welfare office, said problems around major train stations are “not unique to Nuremberg,” but warned that the open nature of suspected drug-related prostitution among young girls was new….

TRUMP’S STATEMENT RE IRAN AND THE MIDDLE EAST

May 25, 2026

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that! During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together,  it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords. Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be. The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them, and will be even better for everybody, and bring true Power, Strength, and Peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign. Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition. The Middle East would be United, Powerful, and Economically Strong, like perhaps no other area, anywhere in the World!

Guerrilla War At Sea

By Sam Faddis      May 15, 2026
We have been told that the Iranian Navy has been destroyed. In a conventional sense, that is true. Unfortunately, this is not a conventional war. The Iranians are now employing swarms of speedboats to attack commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf. These boats don’t stand much of a chance against the U.S. Navy. They are, unfortunately, a real threat to large unarmed merchant vessels.

Many of the boats in question are modified commercial or even recreational vessels. A number, however, were purpose-built for military use. They operate at high speed, have shallow drafts, low radar signatures, and good maneuverability.

No one knows how many of these vessels there are. Some estimates are in the thousands. What we know for sure, though, is that hundreds of them have appeared at a time in recent weeks in the Persian Gulf.

These attack boats are armed with heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, anti-ship missiles, shoulder-fired missiles, and sometimes mines or explosive charges for suicide-style attacks. Some carry drones or serve as motherships for unmanned explosive boats. Often their attacks are coordinated with shore-based missiles, drones, and larger patrol boats. They can operate in large swarms numbering in the dozens or even hundreds that launch attacks from multiple directions.

“The IRGC navy works more like a guerrilla force at sea,” says Saeid Golkar, an expert on the Guards and a political science professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. “It is focused on asymmetrical warfare, especially in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz,” he added. “So instead of relying on big warships and classic naval battles, it depends on hit-and-run attacks.”

These boats are based in camouflaged sites onshore. The boats are often too small to appear on satellite images, and they are moored at piers within deep caves excavated along the rocky coastline, ready to be deployed in minutes, analysts say.

t is believed that Iran has constructed at least 10 well-hidden, fortified bases for attack boats. One, Farur, is the center of operations for the naval special forces, whose equipment is modeled on their U.S. counterparts.

How The US Ends Up Funding The Iranian Regime

By Sam Faddis   May 14, 2026

In 2026, the US Treasury sanctioned the MVM partnership (a multinational network involving Iran, the UAE, Türkiye, and China). It procured sodium chlorate, sodium perchlorate, and sebacic acid from China for Iran’s Parchin Chemical Industries (part of the Defense Industries Organization). These are critical ingredients for solid rocket motor propellant in ballistic missiles. The network relied on diverted Iraqi dollars and shadow banking

We are at war with Iran. Meanwhile, we are supplying Iran with hard cash to keep it afloat. This is how it works.

Ever since 2003, the U.S. Federal Reserve has been shipping pallets of cash to Iraq. Iraqi oil revenues are typically deposited into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and in exchange, because Iraq’s economy is heavily cash-based, we send physical U.S. currency to the Central Bank of Iraq.

We send a lot of cash, sometimes as much as $13 billion a year.

Once in Iraq, a substantial portion of this money is diverted or smuggled into Iran, particularly through Iran-backed militias and informal networks. These pro-Iranian groups access the cash via auctions, banks, fake invoices, and prepaid debit card schemes. Once physical $100 bills reach Iraq (via Fed shipments), militias move bulk cash across the porous border to Iran (e.g., via Diyala, Basra, or pilgrimage routes like Najaf-Karbala). The cash is carried in suitcases by couriers, hidden inside vehicles or goods, or stashed inside diplomatic pouches. Often, the militias involved have people on their payroll at the border crossings in question.

“In terms of how the US dollar is being moved from Iraq to Iran, much of it is technically done through legal channels but under false pretences. Dollars are transferred abroad — often to the UAE or Turkey — ostensibly for trade purposes. These transactions are supported by invoices and documentation, but in many cases, the trade is fake,” a well-informed source on the issue told TNA, on condition of anonymity. “The goods are either overpriced, never delivered, or don’t exist at all. Once the funds are outside Iraq, they’re redirected and used to support Iran’s financial system or brought back into the country in cash.”

“The physical cash is typically flown into Iraq through Baghdad International Airport or smuggled across land borders. Iran-backed militias are heavily involved in these operations, either directly managing the logistics or providing protection and political cover. They also benefit from their control over exchange offices, customs routes, and sometimes even state institutions.”

DNI GABBARD -2020 ELECTION SECURITY

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show

The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China’s actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a “false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not.”

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy  May 6, 2026

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.

The memos indicate Gabbard’s team first learned about the evidence — much of it yet classified — last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director’s Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.

Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020

The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump’s candidacy in 2020.

The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states’ voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.

They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China’s malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter — the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber — trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter’s whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.

The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.

These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.

The Biden Administration Knew The Chinese Could Manipulate Our Elections – They Covered It Up

By Sam Faddis April 22, 2026
In 2022, the election security firm True the Vote broke the story that a company called Konnech in Michigan was storing data on American election workers on servers in China. True the Vote leaders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were, of course, ridiculed by the so-called mainstream press. Then it got worse. They were jailed because they would not give up the name of their source, who had blown the whistle on Konnech. The federal government didn’t seem to give a damn that a hostile foreign power might be able to influence our elections. It did seem very intent on making sure no one knew about it.

Breaking the Architecture of Iran’s Regime Power

  • For decades, Tehran has delayed, promised, denied, escalated, and recalibrated — all while rebuilding its capabilities… and preserving the machinery of regime survival.
  • The Iranian regime is not sustained by ideology alone. It is sustained by money, contracts, ports, banks, smugglers, foundations, front companies, privileged merchants, terrorist proxies, and commercial collaborators. Washington… must target the networks that feed it.
  • The regime does not move money through uniforms and official titles. It moves money through family members, front companies, exchange houses, shipping firms, insurance brokers, commodity traders, gold dealers, charities, banks, and offshore accounts. Every one of these channels must be mapped, exposed, and disrupted.
    • [W]holesalers, currency dealers, gold traders, import-export operators, shipping intermediaries, and commercial families who help the IRGC evade sanctions, manipulate markets, launder money, or finance repression should face direct consequences.
    • The objective is not to destroy Iranian commerce. The objective is to liberate it from the regime.
    • The [US] strategy should …reward defection.
    • [T]he regime’s networks do not stop at Iran’s borders. They extend across the region through proxies, terrorist cells, cyber units, propaganda platforms, and intelligence operations.
    • The Abraham Accords should not only be a diplomatic framework. They should become a protected strategic architecture against Iranian coercion.
      • The message to the Iranian people must remain clear: the conflict is not with Iran as a nation, nor with Persian civilization, nor with ordinary families struggling to survive. The target is the regime’s theft of Iran’s economy. Iran is not poor because it lacks resources. Iran is poor because the Islamic Republic has converted national wealth into repression, missiles, militias, corruption, and foreign adventurism.
      • Hormuz must be reopened, but the regime’s economic, financial, military, and proxy networks must be dismantled.
      • As the United States moves to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore freedom of navigation, Washington must not lose sight of the larger strategic reality: Hormuz is not the core issue. It is the latest instrument of Iranian blackmail.The Islamic Republic of Iran has long mastered the politics of manipulation. It uses propaganda to project strength, disinformation to confuse public opinion, threats to intimidate the region, and negotiations to buy time. For decades, Tehran has delayed, promised, denied, escalated, and recalibrated — all while rebuilding its capabilities, consolidating its networks, and preserving the machinery of regime survival.

        This is one of the regime’s most effective methods: turning the original problem upside down.

        At the beginning, the issue was Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missiles, its terrorist proxies, and the future of the regime itself. Today, Tehran wants the world to discuss something else: how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, how to avoid energy disruption, how to prevent escalation, and how to negotiate a temporary exit from the crisis. This is not diplomacy. It is strategy.

      • The regime creates a crisis, then demands to be treated as the indispensable party to solving it. It threatens regional stability, then asks for recognition when it reduces the threat. It uses escalation to shift the agenda from accountability to de-escalation.Washington should not be fooled again.

        The United States and its allies have tried nearly every approach: engagement, sanctions relief, warnings, indirect negotiations, limited pressure, and diplomatic patience. None has changed the essential nature of the Islamic Republic. The regime has used time not to moderate, but to adapt. It has used diplomacy not to reform, but to survive. That is why the next phase of Western strategy must begin from a different premise.

        The Iranian regime is not sustained by ideology alone. It is sustained by money, contracts, ports, banks, smugglers, foundations, front companies, privileged merchants, terrorist proxies, and commercial collaborators. To weaken it, Washington must move beyond targeting only the men who command the regime. It must target the networks that feed it.
