Your electoral problem is not war. It is your unnecessary interference across the world, without even understanding the cost of your own interventions. In June 2025, Israel launched a justified war against the Islamic Republic. That war could have ended the regime once and for all. Instead, your administration intervened for no good reason and stopped it, without even forcing Tehran to sign a new agreement. When you push an enemy to the brink of destruction and then let it survive, you make it stronger. It knows you will eventually come back. The Islamic Republic emerged stronger. In January, the Iranian people took to the streets to finish what that war had left unfinished. Trump told the regime that if it massacred its own people, America would intervene. The regime went on to slaughter tens of thousands in one of the deadliest massacres of modern times. The Trump administration did nothing but watch. Then you used the massacre of the Iranian people as leverage to pressure the regime into a nuclear deal, as if you had never promised those same people that America would help them. Then you entered a war that could have delivered the final blow to the regime, alongside the Iranian people and Israel. But you refused to finish the job. You ignored the millions of Iranians calling for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. You helped silence their voices so you could negotiate with one of the very people responsible for their suffering. You repeatedly claimed, falsely, that the regime had changed in order to justify doing business with it. No matter how much Tehran humiliated you, you kept insisting on a deal. Netanyahu wanted the Islamic Republic gone. Not only did you refuse to finish the job, you actively restrained Israel from doing so. Throughout these months, the Islamic Republic humiliated you by attacking ships and keeping oil prices elevated. Yet you neither had the resolve to destroy its capabilities nor allowed Israel to finish the job. Your problem is not war. Your administration simply knows neither how to fight a war nor how to negotiate a deal. You sidelined a capable figure like Marco Rubio and sent losers like Witkoff and Kushner to negotiate with the world’s most terrorist regime. From Ukraine to Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, they have failed to deliver even one respectable agreement. Yet you still insist that Witkoff should be the man negotiating with Tehran. You praised your enemies and humiliated your friends around the world. Even today, you analyze the world like a defeated power. You refuse to fight, allowing the world’s most terrorist regime to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz and dictate whether the world’s most powerful navy can pass through it to reach its bases in the Persian Gulf. The right course was to leave the Middle East to Netanyahu and stay out of the way. But you don’t even know how to stay out of the way. You are running away from war at the cost of creating another North Korea in the Middle East, one that will eventually dictate where American forces are allowed to operate. The only result of your interventions has been to impose enormous costs on the people of Iran, Israel and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. And now, after helping devastate the entire region, you want to run away like losers. The problem is, you don’t even know how to retreat.
