There it is. The phone call that proves everything conservatives have been saying about Iran for thirty years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump just confirmed it himself: Iran called. They want a deal. Badly. The regime that spent decades funding terrorism, building toward a nuclear weapon, strangling the Strait of Hormuz, and proxying wars across the Middle East is now on the phone begging for relief \u2014 because American military force finally did what thirty years of diplomacy, sanctions, and strongly worded UN resolutions never could.<\/strong>
\nIt worked. The strikes worked. Now comes the hard part: don\u2019t squander it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump said the quiet part out loud: \u201cI just don\u2019t know if they\u2019re worthy of making a deal. I don\u2019t know that they\u2019re going to honor the deal. That\u2019s the problem.\u201d He\u2019s right on both counts. And the fact that he\u2019s already skeptical is the most encouraging thing he\u2019s said about Iran policy in weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we\u2019ve seen this movie before. We know exactly how it ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran strikes. America retaliates. Iran takes a beating. Iran calls for negotiations. America negotiates. Iran uses the breathing room to regroup, rearm, and start the whole cycle over again. It\u2019s not a foreign policy. It\u2019s a treadmill. And the Islamic Republic has been running it successfully against every American administration since 1979.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evidence from the most recent agreement is already damning. Despite signing a memorandum of understanding promising to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran immediately began restricting passage to IRGC-approved vessels on IRGC-designated routes. Despite agreeing to halt hostilities across all fronts, Hezbollah kept launching attacks into northern Israel. The follow-up talks in Switzerland collapsed when Iranian officials and their supposed mediators disrespected the American negotiating team and signaled openly that they believed they held the upper hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were right \u2014 because we gave them the upper hand the moment we sat down at the table.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an old saying that Iran has never won a war but has never lost a negotiation. That asymmetry exists for one reason: America keeps negotiating when it should keep fighting. We reach for the diplomatic off-ramp the moment Iran feels enough pain to ask for one \u2014 which means Iran has learned to absorb just enough pain to trigger American restraint, then rebuild and repeat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump said they have \u201cvery little left.\u201d If that\u2019s true \u2014 and American military commanders should be the ones answering that question, not Iranian foreign ministers \u2014 then the answer is not a deal. The answer is finishing the job that decades of half-measures left undone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran is begging because it is losing. The correct response to a losing enemy is not negotiation. It is unconditional pressure until the threat is eliminated completely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t give them the deal. Don\u2019t give them the phone call back. Give them the consequences they\u2019ve earned.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
