The world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism should never have been allowed another day in power—and certainly not another opportunity to pull garbage like this. Every extra day this regime remains standing comes at the expense of freedom, stability, and human life. They forfeited any right to exist through decades of terror, oppression, and bloodshed.
A nuclear deal between these two evil besieged allies wreaks of desperation.
Iran, Russia Sign $25 Billion Nuclear Cooperation Deal as Tehran Presses Ahead Amid U.S. Talks
Iran and Russia have signed a sweeping $25 billion nuclear cooperation agreement to expand Tehran’s civilian nuclear infrastructure, deepening strategic ties between the two countries even as negotiations with the United States continue over efforts to curb the Islamist regime’s nuclear activities.
Speaking at a conference attended by senior officials and nuclear experts from both countries in the Russian capital, Iran’s ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, unveiled what he described as the most extensive nuclear cooperation project ever launched between Tehran and Moscow, centered on the development of the Hormoz Nuclear Power Plant.
With the signing of a $25 billion memorandum of understanding, Jalali said the Hormoz project — alongside the ongoing expansion of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant — represents one of the most significant pillars of Iranian-Russian cooperation in the field of what Tehran describes as “peaceful nuclear energy.”
The Hormoz project is set to be developed by Iran’s “private sector” in cooperation with Russia’s state nuclear energy corporation, Rosatom, according to Iranian media.
The memorandum also includes the expansion of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant — Iran’s only operational nuclear power station, which is currently generating electricity — with its second and third reactor units already under construction.
During the conference, Jalali also highlighted plans for joint cooperation on small-scale nuclear power plants, expressing optimism that the projects would soon move from the planning stage into full implementation.
The Iranian diplomat further underscored the growing scientific and technological partnership between Tehran and Moscow in the nuclear sector, particularly in the production of radiopharmaceuticals, which are used in nuclear medicine for diagnosis and cancer treatment.
“Iran has made remarkable progress in this field,” Jalali said. “We now produce 70 radiopharmaceutical products. In 2025, Iran ranked among the world’s top three producers of radiopharmaceuticals – demonstrating that our use of nuclear technology is strictly for peaceful purposes.”
In recent weeks, regional tensions have intensified as negotiations between US and Iranian officials have failed to produce a breakthrough, even as US President Donald Trump repeatedly insists that he still believes a strong agreement can be reached that prevents Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
While Iran has long denied plans to develop nuclear bombs, Western countries have argued weaponization is the only reason for much of Iran’s nuclear activity, including building secret sites into mountains and enriching uranium well beyond what’s needed for civilian use.
For its part, Iran is now pushing for an interim agreement that could potentially include sanctions relief, thus granting the regime access to billions of dollars in oil revenue. However, Washington has continued to impose economic sanctions on Iranian entities even as talks have taken place.
According to multiple media reports, Iran is seeking a limited interim agreement to ease mounting economic pressure and respond to rising domestic risks driven by a deepening economic crisis, while steering clear of any major concessions on its nuclear program.
Tehran’s latest diplomatic maneuvering follows weeks of negotiations after US-Israeli strikes in late February spiraled into a broader regional conflict. Iranian attacks across the Gulf have heightened fears over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for roughly a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.
Three months later, despite a fragile ceasefire reached in early April, the conflict has settled into a tense stalemate, with a US blockade on Iranian ports and Tehran’s continued leverage over the Strait of Hormuz sustaining pressure on both sides while leaving the threat of renewed fighting unresolved.
Now, both Washington and Tehran appear to be lowering expectations for a comprehensive settlement, instead exploring what officials have described as a temporary memorandum of understanding — effectively an interim arrangement designed to prevent a return to open conflict while postponing core disputes surrounding Iran’s nuclear activities.
If finalized, a potential framework would reportedly focus on phased sanctions easing and limited access through the strait while leaving unresolved the most contentious issues, including Iran’s uranium enrichment capacity and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
It remains unclear whether Iran’s ambitious nuclear projects with Russia have been discussed with US negotiators.
Nearly a month after President Trump informed Congress that the Iran war is “terminated,” the belligerents continue to routinely trade fire in the Persian Gulf, as Iran refuses to abide by the ceasefire. The latest exchange of fire came Tuesday, resulting in one death and dozens of injuries after an Iranian missile struck civilian infrastructure in a country not at war with it. Iran is clearly the “bad guy,” but the breathless denunciations so freely hurled at the first insinuation of Israeli misconduct are strangely absent on the Left.
The skirmish began with Iran firing one-way attack drones at civilian shipping in the Persian Gulf. U.S. Central Command shot down three of the drones and responded with strikes on Iranian ground control stations on Qeshm Island.
After that, Iran launched a volley of projectiles toward Bahrain, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet. Bahrain’s air defenses “intercepted and destroyed three missiles and a number of drones,” with no damage resulting.
Iran also launched a volley toward Kuwait, where the U.S. operates several military bases. Two missiles failed to reach their targets, and some were intercepted, but Kuwait had to deal with a total of 13 missiles and 17 drones.
One missile that was not intercepted crashed into Kuwait’s international airport at dawn, causing “severe material damage” and suspending air traffic. Clearly, the missile was not aimed at a U.S. military base, which would have been a legitimate military target. The Iranian attack killed one Indian national and injured 63 other people in the airport. It sounds like an open-and-shut war crime — or at least it would be, for anyone named “Israel.”
For their part, Iran pointed fingers at the U.S. Earlier on Tuesday, an American aircraft fired a missile into the engine room of a sanctioned oil tanker trying to run the U.S. blockade and reach Iran’s Kharg Island, its oil export hub. Iran claimed that it launched drones at ships in the Persian Gulf in response to this incident, and that it launched missile barrages at Bahrain and Kuwait in response to America’s retaliatory strikes.
By even issuing such an explanation, Iran continues to insult the world’s intelligence by insisting that they fall for a patent lie. Seizing or disabling ships that try to run a blockade is a basic function of maintaining a naval blockade. If there were no hazard to venturing past the U.S. Navy, then the presence of its ships would not slow traffic, and if it never made good on its threats to use force against ships that tried to slip past, then the threat of force would lose its effect.
Iran understands how this game is played. In fact, it previously blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, creating a precedent to justify America’s action. The entry to the Persian Gulf is like a high-stakes version of the playground game “sharks and minnows.” The shadowy fleet of ships aligned with Iran wants to slip past the powerful American sharks, but they understand that anyone who gets tagged in the attempt must be considered “out.”
Of course, in such a playground game, it would be entirely inappropriate for a child who was tagged out to stamp off in a huff and “retaliate” against the kid who tagged him by punching the tagger’s little sister in the face. It would be even more bizarre if he stamped off and punched some random little girl in the face and claimed that it was in retaliation. Such a child would face severe consequences, parents would be involved, and charges might even be filed. Certainly, a cloud would hang over his participation in future games.
Yet this is what Iran did Tuesday — and what it has done repeatedly and consistently since February 28. Iran’s war is with the U.S. and Israel. Yet it has fired the majority of its projectiles at defenseless shipping from unrelated nations and neutral Arab countries around the region. These are — and continued to be — unjustified acts of war, naked aggression.
The sovereign state of Iran immediately resorted to the mewling tactics of a lowly terror group — like the network of terror groups it funds. Instead of playing by the rules everyone agrees to, Iran simply delights in sadistically inflicting maximum punishment on as many people as possible. Not only that, but Iran continues to violate the ceasefire while refusing to agree to reasonable terms.
The only conclusion to draw from this situation is that Iran is the “bad guy,” which every rational American already understood Iran to be.
Yet many leftists are not acting like Iran is the “bad guy.” The loud and omnipresent denunciations of Israel — heard for the past two years in every college, urban center, street protest, and even some political campaigns — are totally lacking. Yet, compared with Iran, Israel conducts wars with the care and gentleness of Mr. Rogers.
Where are the cries of genocide, of war crimes, of demands to use America’s full power to end the evil regime? They are not there. Does this mean there is a double standard for Israel? There seems to be no other explanation. And the word for such a double standard is “anti-Semitism.”
On Wednesday, House Democrats carried a resolution to force the president to end the Iran war, with support from four Republicans. The resolution perpetuates the charade of pretending that Iran is a normal state that plays by the rules, not one that lost every play in the war and still demands to be called the victor by cheating.
Yes, Iran is certainly the “bad guy.” Will we let the bad guy win?

Social media users across the political spectrum are casting serious doubts on a new Axios report claiming President Donald Trump cursed out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Axios reported Monday that Trump “lashed out” at Netanyahu during a phone call concerning Israel’s threat to bomb Beirut, Lebanon, and the Israel Defense Force’s invasion of Southern Lebanon amid a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. One anonymous official, “summarizing” the phone call, claimed Trump told Netanyahu, “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” Axios also reported that Trump “reined in” Netanyahu and convinced him to scrap the plans to bomb Beirut and Hezbollah targets.
However, many people aren’t buying it.
Progressive “Breaking Points” host Krystal Ball compared the new Axios story to nearly identical stories leaked during former President Joe Biden’s administration. Biden had reportedly described Netanyahu as a “bad f*cking guy” and an “asshole,” all while his administration continued to green-light U.S. weapons sales to Israel.
How many times have they sold and resold this same story about Biden and now Trump being secretly VERY VERY mad at Netanyahu https://t.co/uGpSULbhhM
Fox News host Mark Levin claimed the story was “largely fabricated” and called for one of its authors, Barak Ravid, to be fired.
MORE RE YESTERDAY’S LEAK ABOUT THE PHONE CALL BETWEEN POTUS AND BIBII
Barack Ravid at Axios should be fired. Reason: his story was largely fabricated by those leaking anonymously leaking to him. The media need to take seriously the accuracy of what they report and these media…
Amit Segal, a correspondent for Israel news outlet N12, reported that the Axios story was “inaccurate.”
EXCLUSIVE: According to a very senior official on the PM’s team on the late-night Netanyahu-Trump call, the Axios report is inaccurate. Trump did not make personal remarks about jail or claim Netanyahu is hated globally.
Instead, the tense call focused on conflicting social…
Independent journalist Caitlin Johnstone accused Ravid of making a “whole career” out of Biden-era leaks suggesting the former president was fed up with Netanyahu or on the verge of making an ultimatum to the Israeli prime minister.
Barak Ravid has made a whole career out of these articles telling Americans they don’t need to worry about the latest horrifying war because the president is taking care of it. Some Ravid headlines from the Biden administration:
For his part, Trump claimed that he acted as an intermediary between Israel and Hezbollah and prevented further attacks from happening Monday.
“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” he said in a Truth Social post. “Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.”
When polled, Michigan voters express their disapproval of the masses of Third World migrants in the United States. In fact, by a stunning 6-to-1 margin, Michigan voters believe the state welcomes too many Islamic immigrants.
For decades, ever since the disastrous Hart-Celler Immigration Act of 1965, America has invited in masses of migrants from the Third World, mostly based simply on family ties rather than skills, alignment with our values, and love of America. Now, new polling from the American heartland shows that voters have had enough and want to prioritize existing American citizens and fully assimilate the record number of immigrants already here.
Thankfully, President Donald Trump recognizes this unfolding movement in America. In fact, as The Heritage Foundation reported, 2025 was the first year with negative net migration since the 1960s, a huge accomplishment! A multi-layered “America First” agenda prioritizes citizens, including strong border control, internal immigration law enforcement, and more stringent controls over legal migration and work visas for foreigners.
This new trend counters decades of failures that attacked America’s culture, weakened societal cohesion, and saw an ever-lower share of U.S. economic output flow to regular workers. For too long, U.S. policies shaped by ruling-class elites seemed based on three inextricably linked blunders:
Outsource industry to the world through production offshoring.
Invade the world through constant warmaking.
Invite the world via mass migration.
But none of these approaches made Main Street America better. We did not become happier, more patriotic, or more prosperous. In fact, the exact opposite trends unfolded, and a once high-trust society devolved into a culture that tolerates the kinds of systemic, large-scale frauds that Somali migrants now perpetrate upon the citizens of Minnesota.
Like Minnesota, Michigan has struggled to integrate a wave of Muslim immigrants, especially in the Dearborn area outside Detroit. In this TIPP poll of nearly 1,500 voters, Michigan citizens push back. Overall, when asked about migration from poor countries, only 19% say it has been good for Michigan, versus 35% who say it has harmed Michigan, with 30% saying “not much difference” and 16% responding “don’t know.”
When asked about Christian immigrants, the approval numbers are roughly even, with 15% saying Michigan welcomes “too many” versus 12% saying “too few.” But regarding Muslim immigrants, the chasm widens materially. Only 6% of Michigan voters believe Michigan accepts “too few” Islamic immigrants, versus 37% who say there are “too many.”
Even Kamala Harris voters in Michigan agree, with nearly double saying there are “too many” Muslim immigrants compared to those who say “too few.”
Among Catholics in this very Catholic Midwestern state, the margin for “too many” Muslim immigrants versus “too few” is a whopping 47%-6%. Hispanics report a similar ratio, at 41%-5%. Will the open borders advocates simply label these hardworking Hispanics as “xenophobes” or “bigots”? Probably. But the reality is that patriotic, striving Americans simply do not want more mass migration into our homeland, and especially not from majority-Muslim countries.
This poll, mind you, is hardly some skewed MAGA sample. If anything, it’s a tough overall survey for Trump and the GOP. Trump’s job approval rating, in a state he won in 2024, declines all the way to net minus-22, with 36% approval and 58% disapproval. Looking at single women, long a challenging demographic for Republicans, Trump’s job approval is an abysmal minus-44, at 24% approval and 68% disapproval. But even within that group, they totally reject mass Muslim immigration, preferring fewer such migrants by more than a 3-to-1 margin.
Looking at this Michigan data holistically, a clear picture emerges. The public mood is sour. Americans have had enough of mass migration bringing wholesale changes to American life that few citizens actually support.
The sum? America for Americans. Focus here at home, not on faraway wars and not on waving in hordes of people from faraway places. Prioritize our people: American wages, safe streets, and rebuilding a higher-trust society.
As Trump said in his first inaugural address, “These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous people.”

Now you know why once-great educational institutions such as Harvard and Georgetown (and many others) are filled with pseudo-academic Islamic apologists and outright dawah propagandists. Now you know why it was so easy to get American college and university students all over the country to agitate for Hamas. Now you know why there is no study of Islamic jihad in American universities, and why you will only get a thoroughly whitewashed view of Islam from any of them. Now you know why American universities claim to be concerned for the rights of women, but never of Muslim women, except to don hijabs in solidarity with those who brutalize and even kill women for not wearing one.
“Qatar invested over $65 million to manipulate US education, new report reveals,” by Idan Kweller, Jerusalem Post, May 29, 2026:
Qatar invested more than $65 million over the past 17 years in an effort to influence the education system in the US against Israel, according to a new report released on Wednesday by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, which is causing an uproar in Washington and prompting calls for a federal investigation.
According to the ISGAP report, the funds were funneled through Qatar Foundation International, which worked with schools, universities, teacher-training programs, and national education networks across the US.
The report claims that the foundation’s activities went far beyond promoting Arabic-language studies and became a broad influence mechanism over educational content, curricula, and political narratives related to the Middle East and Israel….

Do you know the US has a Communist Billionaire undermining our Constitution who is as bad if not worse than George Soros?
Yes — he is NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM a Bangladesh born ex pat who lives in Shanghai sharing an office building with the Chinese Communist Party.
Singham has funneled #278 million inot a massive web of shell entities and nonprofis to coordinate Marxist messaging designed to promote Communist China as the global heavyweight while systematically stripping away American influence.
Red wealth, dark money: How an American tycoon deploys Mao’s playbook against the West
A Fox News Digital investigation found that $278 million flowed from pro-China tycoon Neville Roy Singham through a layered web of shell-like entities, shared boards and interconnected nonprofits that coordinate activism and messaging
Part 2 of a five-part Fox News Digital series investigating the House of Singham examines the “United Front,” a key element of Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong’s “People’s War” strategy.
As CodePink co-founders Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin ended their activist group’s pilgrimage to communist Cuba yesterday, their sojourn reflected a strategy years in the making: a “united front” aligning far-left, socialist and communist revolutionaries across borders.
In late October 1944, Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong delivered a speech, outlining a strategy to unite disparate groups under a shared ideological framework, telling followers: “For this struggle a broad united front is indispensable.”
More than two decades later, in 1966, Cuban leader Fidel Castro convened revolutionaries in Havana for the Tricontinental Conference, where he pledged “support to any revolutionary movement in any corner of the earth,”
And more recently, an American-born Marxist businessman named Neville Roy Singham sold his technology company, Thoughtworks, for an estimated $785 million in 2017, and a Fox News Digital investigation reveals that he set about building his own version of Mao’s united front.
The investigation, using large language models to analyze hundreds of pages of tax records, organizational messaging, online content and historical records, found Singham pumped at least $278 million into a layered network of 2,000 nonprofits, think tanks, activist groups and media organizations with shared messaging and ideology matching the communist ideals of Mao and Castro, operating across borders while appearing independent. What emerges isn’t a loose coalition but a tightly-knit system.
At the time of the sale, Thoughtwork’s chief scientist, Martin Fowler, acknowledged the proceeds would fund Singham’s “activist work.” The sale created a war chest that would flow into the constellation of nonprofits that now comprise the “House of Singham.”
Policymakers and law enforcement officials have gotten a glimpse into pieces of Singham’s influence, from anti-Israel protests in the U.S. to a propaganda machine in India and the hijacking of a labor union in South Africa. But the broader picture is more expansive: a transnational network buried in layer upon layer of companies entangled with shared leaders, shared addresses and a shared mission to spread Marxism and promote China as a global counterweight to the U.S. in a new Cold War.
IRS records show that three entities transferred $278 million from 2017 through 2023 into six core U.S. nonprofits in Singham’s network, but those six nonprofits haven’t operated in isolation. They have functioned as hubs in a broader system, receiving and redistributing funding, and coordinating activity across a widening network of affiliated groups.
In 2017, when Singham married Evans, he relied on many of their wedding guests as lieutenants, consiglieres, strategists, propagandists and field marshals to mobilize thousands of foot soldiers to promote China’s interests. One recurring theme is promotion of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure and trade effort designed to expand China’s economic and geopolitical influence.
Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital, he wasn’t familiar with “the specifics of this particular case.”
Pengyu added that China “welcomes and hopes that more people in the United States will view China in an objective and fair light, and lend their voices to the sound and stable development of China–U.S. relations.”
Rep. Jason Smith, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, has described Singham as “an individual who lives in Shanghai, maintains business ties with companies and individuals linked to the CCP, works with and physically alongside a foreign propaganda company, and attends CCP forums on how to promote the party abroad.”
According to people familiar with the transactions, Singham used GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc., affiliated with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., to anonymously direct tax-deductible donations to a new tranche of nonprofits established after his marriage to Evans. Goldman Sachs spokesman Tony Fratto said that the company’s philanthropy arm “terminated” Singham’s donor-advised fund in February 2024.
Shell-Like Companies
Fox News Digital also identified two fly-by-night companies – Likewise Conceptions LLC and Mutod LLC – that appear in the network’s financial architecture.
Likewise, Conceptions listed an address outside Chicago, while Mutod used the address of a hotel in downtown Chicago. Two other organizations linked to Singham used a hotel and a cocktail lounge as addresses. Fox News Digital reviewed incorporation papers, state registrations, property records and other open-source materials but couldn’t identify meaningful public footprints for either entity. Singham and Evans didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Those entities functioned as conduits, moving large sums into nonprofits that would then redistribute funds across additional layers of the network.
Over months of reporting, Fox News Digital built organizational charts tracing the network’s structure. At least 18 guests from the “Jodie and Roy” wedding of “One Love” in Jamaica appear within a wider network of about 80 people serving in core leadership across about 15 central organizations.
The network includes members of Singham’s family, including his son Nathan Singham, his niece Alicia Singham Goodwin and his sister, Shanti Singham, who has academic ties to East China Normal University in Shanghai. The university, which is administered by the Chinese Community Party (CCP), co-sponsored the Global South Academic Conference where Singham appeared last fall, lambasting the U.S. as a “fascist” nation. East China Normal University didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The wider circle of wedding guests included actor Danny Glover, playwright Eve Ensler, now known as V, and “Democracy Now” TV host Amy Goodman.
Another guest, Ben Cohen, the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, has more recently appeared, getting arrested with CodePink activists as he interrupted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. during a congressional hearing over Gaza and then called for the defunding of ICE earlier this year.
FBI agents arrested another wedding guest, Ibrahim AlHusseni, last year for alleged securities fraud and he later entered a guilty plea. Late last year, Evans allegedly helped pay his $3 million bail, according to court-related reporting. He is scheduled to be sentenced in July.
Within this period, the People’s Forum’s organizing work and BreakThrough News coverage became central to nationwide demonstrations, coordinated through the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the ANSWER Coalition.
US Nonprofit Dollars Tied Up in China’s State Investment Firm
One of the nonprofits Singham funded immediately in 2017 with his newfound wealth was Tricontinental Ltd., based in Massachusetts, led by his friend and wedding guest, Vijay Prashad. It was named for the 1966 Tricontinental Conference.
In a letter to one of the Singham organizations, Tricontinental, Smith warned that “interlocking ownership and management roles” across the entities suggest a strategy to embed CCP propaganda “under the guise of independent scholarship and commerce.” Tricontinental hasn’t made any public responses to the letter, but it posted a video from Brazil last month on Instagram, inviting followers to read the “Communist Manifesto” for “Red Book Day.”
Fox News Digital found that one nonprofit that Singham funded, the People’s Support Foundation, reported investments for years in the China-U.S. Industrial Cooperation Partnership Parallel LP, an investment vehicle tied to a partnership between Goldman Sachs and the China Investment Corporation, the state-sanctioned investment arm of the Chinese Communist Party.
In its 2019 tax filing, the People’s Support Foundation disclosed a $75,165 holding. By 2024, the holding had grown to $410,484, according to tax records.
The amounts were modest. But they placed a Singham-linked nonprofit inside a financial structure designed to blend U.S. private-equity management with Chinese state capital during a time of heightened national security scrutiny. While the records do not prove coordination or intent, they reveal overlapping interests at a sensitive geopolitical intersection.
In 2019, that partnership purchased Boyd Corporation, a California-based manufacturer.
Fratto said those investments were legal and “intended to increase foreign direct investment in the United States.” He added the investments “don’t confer any control over the companies by an individual investor.”
People’s Forum – A ‘United Front’ at W. 37th Street
Less than three weeks after the Singham-Evans wedding, on Feb. 27, 2017, the People’s Forum was registered in New York state, according to state records.
Singham initially funneled $2.5 million into the People’s Forum. It had some familiar names on the board: Evans and Claudia De la Cruz, a wedding guest and a leader in two organizations that would become critical in sowing mayhem on the streets of the U.S., the People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Another key board member was Manolo De Los Santos, a self-avowed Marxist born in the Dominican Republic. Outside the People’s Forum headquarters in New York City recently, he refused to answer questions from a Fox News Digital investigative team.
De Los Santos has publicly posted photos of himself with Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Fernando Gonzalez, one of the “Cuban 5,” Cuban intelligence officers arrested in 1998 in the U.S. for spying and later convicted.
Brian Becker, a longtime Marxist organizer, also became a key figure around the People’s Forum, turning it into a base for expanding protest infrastructure he’d already cultivated with the ANSWER Coalition and Party for Socialism and Liberation, organizing anti-American demonstrations as the son of an American Marxist leader from the 1960s. He also refused to answer questions from Fox News Digital, calling a journalist a “terrorist.”
Ismail Royer, a former extremist imprisoned for supporting the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group in Pakistan, remembers Becker and his socialist crew taking over protests and telling Muslim groups to step aside.
“They told us, ‘Just show up. We’ll take care of everything,'” Royer told Fox News Digital.
Over the following years, Singham doled out a total of $22.4 million to the People’s Forum, according to Fox News Digital’s analysis.
The organization operated not just as a physical space, but as a coordination hub in the emerging Mao-style united front, linking funding, messaging and protest activity. It was also moving money into protest infrastructure, including funding tied to large demonstrations.
‘Build Unity…’
In its first year, the People’s Forum said it spent $428,470 developing a space to “foster collaboration and exchange between diverse social movements,” to “build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad” and “nurture the next generation of visionaries and organizers who believe that through collective action, a new world is possible.”
In late 2021, the People’s Forum hosted a day-long conference on “China and the Left,” featuring Singham’s friend, Prashad, the Qiao Collective and Tings Chak, Prashad’s colleague at Tricontinental with close ties to academic institutions in China.
Sessions included “Poverty Alleviation in China,” China “as a Model for Third World Development” and “China as a Challenge to Capitalism.”
The day’s speakers blasted “The U.S. Hybrid War on China,” “Anti-Asian Violence” in the U.S. and an American bias they dubbed “yellow peril.”
In 2023, the People’s Forum gave the ANSWER Coalition’s fiscal sponsor, Progress Unity Fund, $26,400 it raised at the anti-Israel “National March on Washington” on Nov. 4, 2023, less than a month after the Oct. 7 attack. It wasn’t a lot of money, but the payment reveals the way these organizations work in lock-step with each other.
The next year, Progress Unity Fund reported a $267,756 payment to the ANSWER Coalition for “mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people in a [sic] mass actions in Washington, D.C. and around the country,” according to its tax filing.
It gave $35,000 to BreakThrough BT Media Inc., which broadcast the anti-U.S. protests to the world.
Not long ago, according to property records, the People’s Forum purchased a multi-million dollar building on 14th Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Fox News Digital found that Singham allegedly used two mystery companies to pour money into another new nonprofit, the People’s Support Foundation Ltd., again with Evans on the board, along with former Thoughtworks executives.
IRS filings show that in 2017, Mutod LLC, just established on Sept. 11, 2017, in Delaware, transferred $160.2 million into the People’s Support Foundation. In IRS filings, Mutod used the address of a hotel on E. Wacker Drive, suite no. 256.
Meanwhile, Likewise Conceptions LLC, which shared an address with a FedEx store on Liberty Road in Crystal Lake, Il., north of Chicago, poured $3.5 million into the People’s Support Foundation. And Mutod LLC put another $3.8 million into the organization in 2018.
The People’s Support Foundation then became a funding source for another tier of entities with generic names, including the People’s Welfare Association and the United Community Fund.
Both were registered as 501(c)(4) political nonprofits. Both used UPS Stores as mailing addresses. Both included familiar names from the House of Singham on their boards.
They repeated a recurring pattern in the network: new nonprofit layers appear with generic names, limited public footprints and overlapping leadership, as money continues to move outward.
The United Community Fund listed its tax code as “Q01: International, Foreign Affairs, and National Security Alliances and Advocacy.”
The United Community Fund had some strong anti-American voices on its board: Layan Fuleihan, a fiery Palestinian American leader at the People’s Forum who has led virulent anti-Israel protests; and Chak, a trusted figure in the Singham inner circle and Tricontinental official with ties to Chinese universities.
The money flowing from the People’s Support Foundation into the United Community Fund followed a familiar pattern: one layer funding another, with overlapping personnel and funding.
A question hangs over the structure Fox News Digital traced: why does the House of Singham rely on multiple nonprofit layers, recurring addresses and recycled leadership to move money and organize activity?
As the network expanded across nonprofits, media platforms and activist groups, it promoted the old ideas of Mao and the “United Front.” In February, at the launch of a new book, “Tricontinental, Havana 1966,” filled with speeches and documents from the conference, Prashad and De Los Santos regaled an audience at the People’s Forum with stories of the global communist “revolutionaries” at the conference led by “our commander Fidel,” as Prashad described Castro. De Los Santos noted the participants “weren’t armchair leftists,” who were “shifting from one hotel to the other doing international left tourism.”
“We believe strongly that communism is the actual movement of history,” Prashad said.
Cognitive Warfare
Earlier this month, the State Department identified the People’s Forum and CodePink as vectors of threat because of their alignment with the People’s Republic of China. The State Department said the groups “denigrate the United States, whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for narco-terrorists like {former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas] Maduro while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network with connections to the Chinese Communist Party.”
Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means Committee and House Oversight Committee are investigating the Singham network for potential violations of nonprofit law. Justice, State and Treasury Department officials are also investigating Singham and the organizations he has funded, according to people familiar with the investigations.
Last September, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.), and the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to conduct a “comprehensive evaluation to determine whether federal sanctions, civil remedies or criminal penalties—including asset freezes or seizures—should be applied to far-left entities organized and funded by Mr. Singham.”
The Trump administration has precedent to act. The Justice Department prosecuted a nonprofit in USA v. Babakov, ECF for serving “as a front for a global foreign influence campaign to advance Russia’s foreign policy objectives.” That case didn’t have any connection to Singham or his network.
Smith said at a recent hearing, “This is something every American should care about.” The investigations are ongoing, and no one in the Singham network has been charged with any crimes nor has any action been taken against any organizations or individuals in the Singham network. No one from the Singham network has been found liable for any legal violations.
The White House recently created a new National Security Council position, called the “Director of Cognitive Advantage,” held by Shawn Chenoweth, to address what officials describe as information warfare, a critical element of a nation’s “soft power.”
In public remarks, Chenoweth has described the job as putting the “I,” for “information,” back into a national power framework known as DIME: diplomatic, information, military and economic power.
The Singham network sits at that intersection, and as Evans’ and Benjamin’s CodePink delegation departed Cuba, the convoy reflected the outward expression of a structure built over years, following Mao’s strategy of connecting international travel, coordinated messaging and on-the-ground activism in a “United Front.”
“Viva Cuba!” Benjamin shouted from the airport, as her fellow radicals flashed “V” for victory signs.

In the long-suffering U.K., another Muslim migrant has just been found responsible for child sex offenses, involving upskirting, indecent photographs, and voyeurism. These offenses are not nearly as grave, of course, as the offense of a 54-year-old man having sexual intercourse with a 9-year-old girl. Abusali Rahman, the sad sack, really wanted to look under girls’ dresses to catch sight of knickers, or ideally, of pudenda sans knickers, and managed to photograph a number of them; which photos he presumably would take home and masturbate to. He has also pleaded guilty to one count of making and sharing with others “obscene photographs” (presumably, in addition to the upskirting photos), of four counts of publishing an obscene article, of three counts of making indecent photographs of children, and of voyeurism. A ghastly fellow, but, of course, not as ghastly, I hasten to repeat, as a 54-year-old man having sexual congress with a 9-year-old girl.
More on Rahman can be found here: “Sick ex-supply teacher admits 21 child sex offences at schools across North West,” by Dan McDonald, GB News, May 29, 2026:
A sick former supply teacher has admitted to 21 child sex offences at schools across the North West of England.
Abusali Rahman, 36, who lives in Salford, pleaded guilty to the charges at Bolton Crown Court on Thursday.
The extensive list of offences took place between December 2023 and June 2025, with 13 schoolgirls targeted in a number of different schools.
Rahman – a British national of Bangladeshi ethnicity – pleaded guilty to 12 counts of taking indecent photographs of children by upskirting, four counts of publishing an obscene article and three counts of making indecent photographs of children.
He also admitted to single counts of voyeurism and distributing an indecent photograph of a child.
Emma Kehoe, defending, told the court that Rahman was aware he will receive a prison sentence, adding: “He was going through a mental health crisis at the time.”
How does she know this? No psychiatric examination has yet been carried out on him. She knows it because, like so many Muslims whose guilt cannot be denied, he claims to have been going through a “mental health crisis.” She’s a defense lawyer and clings to this claim in order to make the verdict less harsh.
Could Abusali Rahman be both perpetrator and at the same time a victim? He’s so far from the nurturing environment of his native Bangladesh. In that world, young girls are fair game, and not just for what the Infidels call “indecent photographs.” Rahman has been so lonely, living among people consumed with Islamophobia and racism. Is the pathos of his life so hard to understand? Has he really done any harm by taking a handful of photographs? He needs companionship, even if only of the two-dimensional kind. Was it really so terrible for him to take a few photographs of which its subjects were unaware? Give Rahman a second chance. He promises on a cross-my-heart and hope-to-die basis, never to do it again.
Just kidding. M’lud, please throw the book at him.

A lot of people who oppose Israel resent people who suggest they might be antisemitic, and that’s a legitimate criticism. They’re not necessarily synonymous, but when people start talking about Jewish people in a certain fashion, a conspiratorial fashion that, for example, a small country of 10 million can influence 340 million in America and tell Donald Trump what to do, or that a small cabal of Jews runs a particular industry, then you start to get worrisome.
But one of the best indicators of antisemitism is selectivity, selective outrage. What do I mean by that? We talked about Israel after Oct. 7. Remember that 1,200 Israelis were butchered, raped, mutilated in medieval fashion. Israel did not go into Gaza on the ground right away. For three weeks, not until Oct. 27, did it enter Gaza.
And what was it supposed to do? Go to the U.N., past China and Russia on the Security Council? China has a million Uyghurs in camps. Russia is waging a genocidal war in Ukraine. And ask them to be fair? Go to NATO or the EU and ask the Spanish premier, Mr. [Pedro] Sanchez, to negotiate with Hamas?
What were they supposed to do? What were they supposed to reply to when Hamas would not give up the perpetrators, would not give up the 251 hostages, descended into a labyrinth of tunnels, and the entries and exits were beneath churches, mosques, and schools?
What were they to do? What would anybody do? What would the United States do? The United States is 34 times larger than Israel is. Thirty-four times larger. So, what would we do? Well, if 6,000 Hamas people went into Israel, what would happen if 200,000 people came into the United States across the border, let’s say from Sinaloa, the cartels?
And instead of butchering 1,200, let’s say, in American terms, 34 times larger, they butchered 40,000 Americans. That would be a fair comparison. And then they took back 8,000, not 251, but 34 times, given our larger size, back to Mexico. What would we do?
Would we say, “Would you please negotiate with El Chapo and the cartel people in Geneva? Can we ask our friends in the U.N. to criticize them?” Or would we hear almost immediately that we had it coming because of the Mexican War, or Yankee go home? We’d probably hear that.
And don’t think that is an exaggeration. In 1917, Pancho Villa crossed the border, went into Columbus, New Mexico, and took over the town and killed 17 Americans. What did the United States do? We put 100,000 people on the border, and left-wing President [Woodrow] Wilson sent John Pershing into Mexico to find him, futile.
And do you think people were outraged that Pancho Villa did that? No. President [Adres Manuel Lopez] Obrador, the former president of Mexico, just two years ago said that he thought it was a wonderful thing what Pancho Villa did by invading the United States and killing Americans. He said it was a blow to U.S. imperialism.
It’s easy to imagine what we would do. We would bomb, and we would tell people in Sinaloa, please separate yourselves from the cartel members. Please get out of the hospitals, schools, and churches where their entry or exits are beneath them. And you can imagine the outrage.
Are we worried about illegal occupations? I don’t think so. Worldwide, Turkey is still occupying, via the Turkish population, Northern Cyprus.
Are we worried about ethnic cleansing? Turkey, from 1917 to 1921, ethnically cleansed 1.2 million Armenians. We’ve given Turkey an aggregate of about $500 million in direct aid and military sales.
Are we worried that they threaten to go into Cyprus? They threaten Athens all the time. They threaten Israel. Why do we stay allies with them?
Recently, Azerbaijan, a Turkic-speaking country, went into the Nagorno-Karabakh corridor and ethnically cleansed 120,000 Armenians. Some of them had been there since medieval times. What was weird about it was it happened almost to the day, simultaneously, with Oct. 7.
Did Mahmoud Khalil and the Columbia protesters say we want a moment of silence because our Turkish Muslim friends have gone into another country and ethnically cleansed 120,000 people? No. We didn’t hear a word.
If you want a more direct comparison, after the 1967 war and the wars that followed, the Arab nations ethnically cleansed 900,000 Jews from Egypt, the Gulf states, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. There are almost none left in the Arab world today.
Did Israel do that? When Israel was formed in 1948, about 800,000 Arabs fled. One hundred fifty thousand stayed in Israel. Today that population has increased 14 times. There are 2.1 million Arab citizens of Israel, and yet Israel is called an ethnic cleanser and a police state when the surrounding Arab world ethnically cleansed almost a million Jews.
Sometimes the Europeans are very angry. The French have been very vocal. Do we remember what France did in Chad for almost 50 years? Currently, the people of Chad are rediscovering their national identity and are very anti-French.
We helped the French. We gave them logistical support, reconnaissance, and logistics to go in and stop Islamists in Chad. But in the early part of the 20th century, around 1917, they massacred 400 Islamic scholars. They call it the Coucou Massacre, blow-blow or cut-cut. And they didn’t just massacre them. The French beheaded 400 Islamic scholars.
Does anybody talk about that today? No. Almost nobody talks about it. So, what I’m getting at is selectivity.
Now, Rep. Ilhan Omar has been very critical. She has called Israel an illegitimate entity. She has a map where it doesn’t even appear in her office. She has talked about Benjamins, baby, referring to Netanyahu and supposed moneyed interests influencing the United States.
Her father was a colonel in Siad Barre’s Marxist dictatorship in Somalia. He waged a genocidal campaign against an entire tribe of Somalis. He may have killed 150,000 to 200,000 people. Many Somalis who fled were supporters of Barre’s Marxist dictatorship and had alliances with the United States, so they fled to the West.
There is a sizable percentage of the Somali community in the United States that were elites, as was Ilhan Omar’s family, and were directly involved with that illegitimate dictatorial Marxist government that waged ethnic cleansing.
Zohran Mamdani is very critical of Israel. He cannot seem to have an appointee without an antisemitic past. He talks about interlopers, and his supporters say Israel is a settler-colonial power. There is a 3,500-year continuum of Jews in the land of Israel.
That is not true of Indians in Uganda. Mamdani’s family came as what he might call settler colonialists into Uganda. They make up 1% of the population and control about 65% of the wealth. The wealthiest person in Uganda is a billionaire of Indian descent.
Mamdani’s family later came to the United States and are very critical of Israel as illegitimate in the Middle East. Israel has a far stronger historical claim to its land than Indian immigrants do to running Uganda’s economic structure.
There is no criticism of that. The hypocrisy is shocking.
So, when you want to know what an antisemite is, it is selective outrage and hypocrisy.
Why did campuses erupt over the Israeli incursion into Gaza? No one offered the Israelis a better plan to retrieve the hostages and punish Hamas. What were they supposed to do? Ask Hamas to surrender peacefully? The people in Gaza cheered Hamas on, even though there was a labyrinth of tunnels under schools, mosques, and hospitals.
It was inevitable that civilians would die. A Hamas leader admitted that.
While this was happening on campuses, professors and Middle Eastern studies programs were furious. At the same time, 40,000 mostly Muslim Iranians were butchered by the Iranian government. There was not a peep from the American left. Not a word.
Instead, there was criticism of the United States for trying to isolate and weaken the government that killed those 40,000 people.
All the contempt was reserved for one tiny country of 10.5 million people.
So, if you want to know what an antisemite is, it is selective outrage and hypocrisy.

The Justice Dept charged rioter Brendan John Geier for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall last night. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks on ICE officers we’ve seen in New Jersey the last few days. These riots are clearly not “peaceful protests” as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds.
Democrats and their Democrat governor have incited and agitated for this. Shame on the New Jerseyans who voted for this.
“Governor Sherrill refused to allow state police to assist our officers.”
I hope the ICE agents get rabies shots.

A New Jersey man was arrested yesterday and charged with assaulting federal officers and causing bodily injury.
Brendan John Geier, 26, of Madison, New Jersey, was charged by complaint today and appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cari Fais.
One of the left extremist who was arrested for kicking and biting ICE agents in NJ was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography.

“Peaceful protest doesn’t translate to violently attacking federal law enforcement officers,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Federal officers are protecting United States’ property and facilities. With virtually no local law enforcement support from New Jersey, rioters are regrouping and attacking. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks we have seen in Newark the last few days, and we will make arrests and hold people accountable for criminal conduct.”
“As alleged in the Justice Department’s complaint, this violent rioter savagely bit an ICE law enforcement officer outside of Delaney Hall. The Trump Administration will always stand with our law enforcement officers,” said Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“As alleged, this defendant responded to lawful orders from federal officers by kicking one and biting two others who were performing their official duties,” said U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer for the District of New Jersey. “Assaulting law enforcement officers is unacceptable. Period. Federal officers must be able to carry out their responsibilities without being subjected to violence, intimidation, or obstruction. This Office will continue to prosecute those who, as alleged here, assault officers and interfere with the lawful execution of their duties.”
“To be clear, peaceful protest does not mean biting, kicking, or punching law enforcement officers,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Spiros Karabinas of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark. “The repeated assaults on federal officers at Delaney Hall are criminal acts — not protected speech. Homeland Security Investigations is unwavering in its commitment to hold those who attack law enforcement fully accountable under the law.”
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, on May 28, officers of the U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) were engaged in official duties relating to security and crowd-control operations during a demonstration near the ICE Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey. Certain ICE deportation officers were assigned to conduct perimeter enforcement for the facility, which included clearing the road leading to and from the facility for vehicles.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., a large group of demonstrators was blocking that road. Deportation officers, in an attempt to clear the road, formed into a line and began to move towards the group of demonstrators, which included Geier. The deportation officers issued commands to the demonstrators to “move back,” but the demonstrators, including Geier, ignored those commands and refused to clear the road. Geier instead engaged in a struggle with deportation officers, kicking officers and ultimately biting an officer’s forearm, and another’s knuckle. Both victims received treatment at a local hospital.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI have made substantial progress on investigating the networks funding Antifa leftist agitators, and he mentioned one concrete policy change that could undermine nonprofits’ ability to prop up the violent movement.
“In October, the Treasury Department started working with the FBI to investigate who’s funding Antifa. Can you give us an update on that investigation?” The Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese asked Bessent.
“We’ve made substantial progress, and I think in the weeks and months ahead, we’re going to have a lot to report,” Bessent responded.
He noted one concrete change the IRS has already made, which may help expose and combat Antifa funding.
“The IRS is now giving guidance on the Form 990, which nonprofits have to file,” the treasury secretary explained. He said the IRS will “demand that nonprofits know their grant recipients.”
“So, if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people’s rights, then you are responsible for that,” Bessent explained. “I think that’s a very good first step.”
The Trump Administration Targets Antifa
Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in September, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing an “all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism” and Antifa.
National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 warns that left-wing violence “is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.” The document calls for “a new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies—including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them.”
Trump mentioned the Black Lives Matter riots of summer 2020, which resulted in more than $2 billion in insurance payouts, according to insurance analysts. The violence cost the lives of at least 26 Americans.
Street violence has become more intermittent but hasn’t abated. Leftist protests have escalated into violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, attacks on Teslas and Tesla dealerships, and even the takeover of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, in January. Some organizations that helped organize the protests—but which almost always condemn the violence—have received grants from the Left’s dark money network.
Prosecuting Antifa
While Trump’s critics have noted that Antifa is a loosely organized movement that often relies on mutual aid funding, rather than nonprofit grants, the administration has had some success in convicting Antifa agitators for violent crimes.
In March, a Texas jury convicted eight members of what prosecutors described as an Antifa cell for providing material support to terrorists. The prosecutor in the case described the convictions as a “road map” to implement Trump’s strategy.
The jury convicted eight people of riot, providing material support to terrorists, and other charges related to a July 4, 2025, riot outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas. Rioters set off fireworks, and when police arrived at the scene, one of the rioters opened fire, wounding an officer in the shoulder.
“Antifa was found to be a domestic terrorist organization and that these defendants were found to provide material support, I think, is very consistent with NSPM-7 and the priority of this administration to try to stop political violence by domestic terrorist groups,” Ryan Raybould, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas, told the Daily Signal in March.
“This case shows a road map for charging individuals that commit violent acts that are coordinating through their Antifa affiliation,” he added.
Requiring nonprofits to know and monitor grant recipients may help prosecutors hold nonprofits accountable if they knowingly fund agitators who engage in violence. Such a requirement may also deter nonprofits from directing money to agitators in the first place.

These Muslim clerics are making no secret about their intentions. Yet their leftist defenders and allies continue to insist that when they make efforts to implement aspects of Sharia in the U.S., that is nothing to be concerned about, because Sharia is merely personal religious law. Meanwhile, non-Muslims who dare to point out Islam’s supremacist agenda are excoriated as “Islamophobes.” In light of these obstacles in the way of defending America as a free society, it is easy to see why Karim Abu Zaid and Uthman Ibn Farooq would be serene and confident looking toward the future.
“At Texas Islamic Conference, Scholars Karim Abu Zaid and Uthman Ibn Farooq: Islam Will Rule The World; Our Goal Is For America To Become A Muslim Country,” MEMRI, May 23, 2026:
Colorado Islamic scholar Karim Abu Zaid said at the Authentic Ilm Mission (AIM) Memorial Day Conference, held on May 23, 2026 at the Mansfield Islamic Center in Arlington, Texas, that Islam will rule the world again and that no other faith possesses the morality of Islam.
At the same conference, San Diego Islamic scholar Uthman Ibn Farooq said that Muslims want America to become a Muslim country and believe Islam is the “best thing” for America. He added that Muslims seek to spread Islam “peacefully” through dawah.
Karim Abu Zaid is working to establish a new Islamic complex in a church purchased in the Richardson suburb of Dallas, TX. In a January, 2026 Friday sermon, he explained that the facility will include four wings: the Ayn Dawah Academy and Seminary, headed by Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq of San Diego, who specializes in bringing Islam to Christians and Jews and will train Muslims in dawah work, and a K–12 full-time school. For more about Uthman Ibn Farooq, who will head the training in techniques for inviting Christians and Jews to convert to Islam, see MEMRITV clips Nos. 12459, 12437, and 12295. During a May 2025 lecture in Birmingham, UK, Ibn Farooq declared that the U.S., Europe, and Russia will become Muslim countries.
Karim Abu Zaid: “Islam will rule the world again.
[…]
“No other faith has its morality.”
Uthman Ibn Farooq: “When we say that America will be a Muslim country some day, inshallah, people look at us with skepticism. But the reality is: That’s our goal.
[…]
“Everybody has their own idea of what they want America to be. We believe that the best thing for America is Islam. Peacefully – with dawah, not forcing anybody. We want to spread Islam.”

LONDON/DUBAI, (Reuters) — The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to extend a ceasefire, allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and lift a U.S. blockade and some sanctions on Iran, sources told Reuters, but the deal has not been finalized.
An agreement would represent a big step towards ending a war that has pushed the world towards an energy crisis, though the underlying dispute over Iran’s nuclear program would only be thrashed out in talks over subsequent weeks.
Where Are the Discussions Now?
Following a ceasefire in early April, the two sides have remained at odds on issues including Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Israel’s war in Lebanon with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia, and Tehran’s demands for the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen assets.
After weeks of mainly indirect talks, four sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday that the U.S. and Iran had agreed a memorandum of understanding that would halt the war and give negotiators 60 days to reach a final deal.
However, both sides have said several times before that they believed an agreement was close but without ever concluding an agreement. The position of Israel, which launched the air war on Iran on February 28 alongside the United States, is central to any deal but its role in the agreement is unclear.
U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet approved the deal, according to the sources. Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday: “We’re not there, but we’re very close and we’re going to keep working on it.”
Iran has not yet formally commented, but the semi-official Tasnim news agency cited a source close to the negotiating team as saying the text of the agreement had not yet been finalized or confirmed.
Iranian sources have previously said a framework deal is only about ending the war on all fronts, establishing a 30-day framework for international and Iranian movement through the Strait of Hormuz and possibly providing some financial relief.
There would then be negotiations on the more difficult issues, such as the status of Iran?’s highly enriched uranium and details concerning the strait, and the sequencing of the many points in the preliminary deal such as sanctions relief and security.
The last deal over the nuclear program – struck in 2015 and torn up by Trump in 2018 – took years of negotiations between large teams of technical experts.
What Are The Main Issues?
Hormuz And Gulf Blockade
Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for a fifth of global supplies of oil and liquefied natural gas, has pushed up oil prices. Reopening the strait is the U.S. priority and Iran’s main point of leverage, but it could take time.
Many vessels are stuck in the Gulf and Iran says it has laid some sea mines that could be difficult to locate.
The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports is hitting Iran’s own exports and state revenue. Lifting this is one of Tehran’s main goals. A sensitive issue could be how far U.S. forces withdraw.
Nuclear
The U.S. says it believes Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb. Iran has always denied this, saying its atomic program is for peaceful purposes only. The focus is on its enrichment of uranium, which generates fuel for nuclear power but can also make material for a warhead.
The nuclear question is extremely complicated. Iran might eventually agree to dilute part of its highly enriched uranium in a friendly country into uranium enriched to 5% purity and then have it returned, Iranian sources said.
But many other issues would still need to be addressed: how long the nuclear program would be halted, whether nuclear sites would be dismantled, what happens to stockpiles of uranium enriched to 20% and 5%, the future of Iran?’s advanced centrifuges and research and development programs and the rules governing an inspections regime, among others.
Ballistic Missiles
A prominent U.S. demand before the war was that Iran limit the range of its ballistic missiles so that they could not reach Israel. Iran has always said its right to conventional weapons is non-negotiable and that it still has a large arsenal.
Sanctions and Frozen Assets
Iran’s economy has been hurt by sanctions for years, contributing to the nationwide unrest in January. Tehran badly needs them to be lifted and tens of billions of dollars of Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks to be released. It also wants reparations for war damage.
The United States has resisted this, with Trump having lambasted former president Barack Obama for having returned some frozen assets to Iran under the 2015 nuclear deal. Some media have reported that the latest draft agreement would include an investment program for Iran.
Lebanon
Iran has repeatedly said that Israel’s war against its main ally Hezbollah in Lebanon must be included in any deal. Israel and Lebanon agreed a ceasefire last month but both Israel and Hezbollah accuse each other of repeated violations and Israel’s military is ramping up its campaign in southern Lebanon. Israel would oppose any U.S.-Iran agreement that limits its ability to act in Lebanon.

Jew-hatred is a matter of faith for progressive atheists who employ ancient mystical or religious imagery — often superimposed over the myth of “Palestine” — to justify smug sanctimony when villainizing Jews.
Antisemitism has been around as long as there have been Jews and hatred of Israel has been around as long as there has been a Jewish State. And despite the stridency of their denials, those who reject Israel’s legitimacy and slander her with malicious stereotypes and blood libels are motivated by deep-seated hatred for Jews and Judaism.
There simply is no other explanation. Today’s antisemites cannot forgive Jews for their otherness, supernatural talent for survival, role as a light to the nations, and unique relationship with the Almighty.
We see it in the violent Jew-hatred that permeates academia and progressive politics, the election of brazen antisemites to high office, the embrace of hateful radicals by mainstream politicians, and also among bigots across the spectrum who identify as left-wing, right-wing, religious or secular. We see it in the savage extremism of those who seek to eradicate us physically and in the deceptive friendship of missionaries who attempt through evangelism to destroy us spiritually. And we see it in those who employ revisionism to deny thousands of years of Jewish history that are reflected in the historical, archeological, and scriptural records and to promote a Palestinian Arab national myth that has no historical basis.
It is impossible to ignore the enmity heaped upon Jews and Israel from all sides — the only question is whether one is reviled by it or revels in it. But what people on either side of the divide fail to see is how deeply spiritual this hatred is — and how morally corrosive for the common culture.
And this spirituality of hate is not limited to traditional religions, though Christianity and Islam certainly possess foundational hostility towards the Jewish people, and mainstream churches are quick to slander Israel with the modern-day blood libel of genocide in Gaza. Rather, it occupies the same emotional space in those who reject religion altogether but nevertheless crave a system of belief to give their lives meaning and a sense of connection to the infinite.
Secular people often adopt political causes with pious fervor because politics provides a sense of purpose and partisanship satisfies the dualistic weltanschauung embedded in European society (and by extension western culture) through pre-enlightenment church influence. In a culture where progressivism greatly influences educational and media institutions and cherishes victimhood (real or imagined) as the ultimate virtue, the hero-villain dynamic has become paramount for those who see society through their own ideological narcissism.
For many, antisemitism strangely fills the need for belief in a higher power that overcomes the forces of darkness. In their minds, good and evil are locked in eternal conflict, and they associate Jews with all that is wicked and profane, depicting them as disloyal foreigners and maligning them with contemptible slanders.
This is how Jews were portrayed for generations, whether in Christian scriptures that describe them as devilish spawn constituting the “synagogue of Satan” (e.g., respectively, John 8:44-47; Revelation, 2:9; 3:9), Islamic hadiths calling for their extermination in the end of days (e.g., Book 41, Hadith:6985), odious writings of early church fathers (e.g., “Against the Jews” by John Chrysostom), or the pages of Mein Kampf – which conveyed nothing that was not previously said in 1543 by Martin Luther in his vile antisemitic treatise, “On the Jews and their Lies.”
Antisemitism has a spiritual dimension for religious zealots who see it as an expression of faith founded on replacement theology, but also for secular progressives for whom it is an essential component of the ideological agenda they sacralize with dogmatic intensity.
It is easy to recognize malevolent spirituality when it arises from faith — as illustrated by the contempt for Jews and Judaism that suffuses Christian and Islamic scriptures (despite the casuistic denials of apologists who argue that blatantly antisemitic passages are simply misunderstood). However, Jew-hatred is no less a matter of faith for progressive atheists who employ ancient mystical or religious imagery — often superimposed over the myth of “Palestine” — to justify smug sanctimony when villainizing Jews.
Karl Marx demonstrated as much when he wrote: “The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew…The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general…Contempt for theory, art, history, and for man as an end in himself, which is contained in an abstract form in the Jewish religion, is the real, conscious standpoint, the virtue of the man of money.”(What would he say of the Salk vaccine, the medical and technological breakthroughs, the music, books and arts created by Jews?
And in a world gone mad, many Democrats today enthusiastically support Marxist candidates — including, it seems, Barack Obama, who praised Zohan Mamdani as “an extraordinary talent.” Affinity for communism (which is inherently antisemitic) is clearly part of today’s progressive agenda; and that should scare all reasonable people.
Indeed, disdain for Israel, Jews, and Judaism has become central to the agenda held sacrosanct by progressives, which has grown to include every radical policy promoted by the left and accepted through acquiescence by most Democrats.
Gone are the days when moderate liberals uniformly advocated free speech and civil liberties. In fact, it is mainstream Democratics who now push fanatical policies that demand blind acceptance of, among other things:
(a) extreme climate theory;
(b) transgender indoctrination for schoolchildren;
(c) unrestricted late-term abortion regardless of fetal viability; and
(d) unfettered immigration – despite the American public’s overwhelming rejection of these policies.
Though progressives scream “follow the science” to make their programs seem unimpeachable, they ignore science when it fails to corroborate what in truth are doctrinal beliefs, not empirical facts.
Arguments against radical policies are typically parried with ad hominem derision, and contrary proofs are met with stony silence; for example, when the UN recently disavowed its previous endorsement of extreme global warming models found to be inconsistent with reality. Likewise, the progressive establishment never addresses the lack of corroborative science when advocating irreversible gender surgery for children, though it reflexively challenges the motivations of victims who “detransition” as they approach or reach adulthood, for which there is a growing body of evidence.
Radical progressives also ignore history when it shows the fallacy of their sacred cows. Or they engage in revisionism to reject traditions they find inconvenient; for example, when they deny the indigeneity of Jews in Israel, which is corroborated by the historical and archeological records, in favor of a Palestinian Arab narrative, which is patently false and has no records.
No matter: these issues have become tantamount to religious dogma for radical progressives — and truth be damned. And central to this ideological stew is hatred of Israel, the embrace of antisemites by the mainstream, and the compulsive denigration of Jewish history.
Ideologically, college campuses and the progressive blogosphere evoke the mentality of medieval Europe, where Jews were accused of poisoning wells, causing the Black Death, committing ritual murder, and parasitically controlling Gentile nations. And though these tropes remain constant, they have been updated to accommodate modern sensibilities.
Ritual murder charges are now expressed as false claims of genocide in Gaza, well-poisoning has morphed into claims that Jews created AIDS and COVID-19, and the myth of Jewish global control is advanced by conspiracy theorists who assert that Jews perpetrated the 9/11 attacks and Israel manipulated the US into attacking Iran.
Though such canards come from all ends of the political spectrum, right-wing provocateurs are still largely shunned by rank-and-file Republicans, while antisemitic radicals and conspiracy theorists are welcomed within the Democratic fold. Indeed, Kamala Harris in April claimed that Trump was “pulled into” war with Iran by Bibi Netanyahu. Despite the malevolent, conspiratorial absurdity of Harris’s claim, it was met with silence from a liberal Jewish establishment that had supported her ill-conceived presidential run.
Though such claims are modern iterations of ancient motifs, the hatred that sustains them nevertheless gives rise to new calumnies without direct antecedent, for example, the lie that today’s Jews are an imposter people. This fiction asserts that Jews are descended not from Judean ancestors, but from the Khazars, a Turkic people who according to legend embraced Judaism centuries ago. The myth is used to delegitimize Jewish ancestral claims and somehow validate the Palestinian narrative.
The imposter conspiracy persists despite genetic studies showing not only the absence of Khazar DNA in Ashkenazim but the presence of a common Jewish genome originating from the Levant, including the area specifically associated with the Land of Israel. This ancestral commonality is found across Jewish population groups, regardless of how isolated some were for centuries. Predictably, however, haters attribute the lack of analogous hereditary geo-markers among Palestinian Arabs to a fraudulent coverup by Jewish scientists.
Just as empiricism cannot dissuade people of faith from their beliefs, neither can it discourage the convictions of those for whom political ideology constitutes a religion that preaches dictatorial intolerance and an absolutist, dystopian worldview.

The U.S. military launched defensive strikes against Iran, targeting drones that posed a threat to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reportedly targeted a U.S. base in retaliation. The U.S. military intercepted four Iranian kamikaze drones targeting American and commercial merchant ships overnight and responded by destroying an Iranian ground control station in the port city of Bandar Abbas.
Wipe out the regime. Nothing short of that.
Wall Street Journal: President Trump said Iran was miscalculating if it thought he would soften his position to avoid a prolonged standoff with Tehran. “They thought they were going to outwait me,” Trump said Wednesday at the start of a cabinet meeting at the White House. “He’s got the midterms [they thought]. I don’t care about the midterms….” Trump rejected the idea of allowing Iran to turn over its stockpile of enriched uranium to either China or Russia. “No,” he replied when asked about the possibility. “That would not make me comfortable.” More than 11 tons of uranium enriched at levels up to 20% was shipped to Russia as part of the now-defunct 2015 nuclear deal that lifted punishing economic sanctions against Iran. While the president struck an optimistic note during the cabinet meeting, saying that the Iranians were beginning to come around at the negotiation table, he again held out the possibility of additional military strikes. “If they won’t,” he said, pointing to Hegseth, “the man on my left is going to finish them off”.
The US military carried out new strikes in Iran Wednesday, targeting a military site that threatened American troops and commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today, US Central Command Forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz,” a US official said in a statement.
“US forces also struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone,” the official added.
In retaliation, Iranian forces claimed to have “targeted” a US airbase, according to state-run media.
The report did not indicate which US base was fired upon, but Kuwait’s military said its air defenses were “confronting hostile missile and drone attacks,” late Wednesday. There were no reports of damage or injuries.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) warned that any repeat of what they called aggression would draw a “more decisive” response.
The downed Iranian drones were reportedly targeting a US commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Axios.
Tasnim News Agency – affiliated with the IRGC – reported that the Iranian Navy had fired a warning shot at an “American oil tanker,” according to CNN.
Iranian military sources told other state-run news outlets that “warning shots” were fired at four vessels in total that attempted to transit the strait without permission.
“These actions were measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire,” the US official said.
There have been at least two dozen attacks in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the war with Iran began.
Tehran has effectively shut down the key oil chokepoint with repeated attacks and threats on cargo ships and tankers that tried to sail through.
The US strikes were first reported by Reuters.

The strikes follow “self-defense strikes” launched by the US military on Monday against Iranian boats that were reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Those attacks also took out a surface-to-air missile site in Bandar Abbas.
The missile site based at Iran’s primary naval station was reportedly targeting US warplanes, according to CENTCOM.
Wednesday’s clash also come as US and Iranian negotiators work to finalize a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the key waterway to international shipping — without tolls — and allow additional time for an agreement on the fate of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles.
