The Morning Report — 6/ 15 /26

Good morning kids. So the big story of course is that hostilities have ended with Iran. The headlines wherever you turn are using the phrase PEACE DEAL between the US and Iran.

The US and Iran have reached a peace deal to end their three-and-a-half-month-old war, President Trump announced Sunday evening.
The Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world’s oil, is set to reopen on Friday when a deal is signed in Switzerland, officials said.
“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” The signing will launch a 60-day negotiating process to determine the fate of Iran’s nuclear program and the extent of sanctions relief, according to officials.. . The agreement has not been seen publicly, but the White House on Friday described to reporters five points that are in the deal:
--Iran will destroy its highly enriched uranium
--Tehran will pledge never to obtain a nuclear weapon
--Economic relief will come after those first two steps are completed
--The Strait of Hormuz will be open immediately upon signing
--Iran must stop funding terrorist groups including Hezbollah
A senior administration official said the economic relief would be released “around physical milestones, it’s built around action and it’s built around verification.”

On a positive note as news of the "deal" was announced. . .

Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell by around four percent to below $84 a barrel, the lowest price since March 5. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, fell by nearly five percent to below $81 a barrel.
“With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” President Trump said Sunday evening.
Stock futures tied to U.S. equities market climbed on the news.

while this is all well and good, both politically and directly as this will be reflected at the gas pump in time for the crucial midterms. As I have stated since the conflict began, any deal that leaves this regime intact is an abject failure.

The Iranian state-controlled Mehr News Agency is trumpeting the deal as a complete victory for the Islamic Republic. It involves concession after concession from the U.S., and nothing whatsoever in the other direction. Mehr states the 14 provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding in this way: According to the source, the draft includes the following provisions:
1. Permanent and immediate end to war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
2. US commitment to non-interference in Iran’s internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran... 11. Release of $24 billion in Iran’s blocked funds during the 60-day final negotiation period, with half of that amount to be made available to Iran before negotiations begin. . .
. . . If this is even close to true, it’s the most breathtaking betrayal in American history (after Trump’s promises to the Iranian people), a new lease on life for the Islamic Republic, likely ensuring it remains in power for decades to come, and the most humiliating and unnecessary defeat in American history. Trump’s legacy will be surrender and the empowerment of America’s enemies, to an extent even worse than anything Barack Obama or Old Joe Biden did.

If you read all the points while understanding the nature of the Mullahs and the nature of ISLAM, this is merely strategic retreat in the 1500-year Islamic crusade for world domination. They know that all they have to do is wait out the next two years for Trump to exit the White House and that at best a Democrat will be elected and at worst, even if it's Vance or whomever, there will be a groundswell of opposition should that administration want to once again attack Iran once they inevitably resume their drive for nuclear weapons as well as continue to foment terrorism in the region and around the world, because gentle reader this is exactly what they are going to do.

Elsewhere, congratulations to Elon Musk for becoming the first nrillionaire in history. naturally the Democrat Left are beside themselves dropping venom and doing everything they can to denigrate this accomplishment. whatever one thinks of Musk personally or otherwise, his achievement is a shining example of the American dream as well as the work ethic that made this nation great and has been the engine of progress that took us from out of the caves to landing on the moon and building the freest most prosperous society in human history.

That is the real reason behind the venom and contempt. Like Islam, Democrat socialist leftists seek total control over everyone's life. Anything that deprives them of that must be destroyed.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know by now that with SpaceX’s Initial Public Offering (IPO), Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire. The implications of this for all of us and our grandchildren are many and far-reaching. Of course, the left has found a way to narrow it all down to one simple idea: “His money is our money, or it should be.”
Envy is the lifeblood of leftist politics, and Musk is merely their latest, biggest, and most convenient target. But it’s worth being reminded that to the left, you are no different than Elon Musk. Let me explain. The left is miserable when you’re happy. It feels entitled to be the only source of your happiness, but it has no desire to make you happy. Rather, it simply wants to control how happy it will allow you to be.

Have a great day,

Make no mistake about it, Tehran is going to test the limits of this thing. That's what Iran does. But the framework is there, and the verification mechanisms matter... Obviously, there's still work ahead. And there’s reason to be skeptical of Iran because this is a regime with a long history of buying time while running out the clock. But, we aren’t sending them plane-loads of cash in the dark of night, or giving them a path to nuclear weapons, as Barack Obama did.

Um, excuse me? How come "negotiating" is still going to go on (ridiculously, with a deadline) in the deal is done?

And Iran is going to "destroy" it's uranium? How do you destroy uranium? It's an element! How could we possibly trust them to even do it? And doesn't it have to be dug out of a blown-up mountain or two?

We're just unfreezing their assets, so no need for planes to carry cash - this is 2026!

And if we're relying on THEM to "destroy" the uranium, and trusting a pinky-swear to not pursue nukes, then that actually IS "a path to nuclear weapons".

So yeah, that's some billions of dollars to kick the can down the road again.

I don't really believe Trump will leave it at this. He has loftier ambitions, and much stronger cards in his hand.

Posted by: MrExcitement at June 15, 2026 07:45 AM (ovdkm)

43 I agree with JJ. The Iranian regime is still intact so it is a victory in their eyes. I guess the out for Trump is regime change was not the stated goal just a hopeful byproduct. So kicking the can down the road and if there's any more Iranians left that oppose the regime from within I'm sure they'll get slaughtered n mopped up.
Maybe in the coming years the feelings of not committing boots to the ground will subside. I don't know WTF the solution is that'll placate everyone and keep the world, specifically us, safe.

One question I have after all of this is when do we or what is justification for putting boots on the ground? Why doe we have troops, why are we recruiting and training people for "boots on the ground"? Honest question......

--Iran will destroy its highly enriched uranium - Iran will destroy?? No, we should destroy. Don’t trust them

--Tehran will pledge never to obtain a nuclear weapon - Ha!!! Yeah right their pledge is worth NOTHING

--Economic relief will come after those first two steps are completed - NO NO NO… nothing from us. If the gulf states wanna help have at it

--The Strait of Hormuz will be open immediately upon signing - good
--Iran must stop funding terrorist groups including Hezbollah - Ha! Yeah right they won’t stop doing it no matter what they sign

So I kinda think this deal stinks

As for the bushwa that Musk could solve world hunger with his money, how many trillions have the NGOs and nonprofits spent and not solved world hunger?

He is accused of breaking into two memorabilia stores and stealing almost $30,000 of collectibles from them. One of these robberies occurred while he was still a Grand Rapids police officer.

116 The Iranian state-controlled Mehr News Agency is trumpeting the deal as a complete victory for the Islamic Republic.

OF COURSE they are. It's what they do. Reading anything they put out and giving it full merit and thinking that Trump, the stupid poopyhead, sold America and the Iranian people out means you really haven't been paying attention to his 2 terms as President.

Sorry, but that's willful ignorance.

We don't even know the full details of the deal and what the consequences are for them breaking it.

You will find that any GWOT vet would love nothing more than to see the regime that runs things in Iran have a real can of whoop-ass opened on them from the people that have to live under it.
A lot of us also know that if boots were on the ground, in Iran, said boots CANNOT be under the insane RoE that governed GWOT missions.
That said, I'm not a fan of putting boots on the ground in Iran, but I want to see the regime come to its wicked end, at the hands of its people it has oppressed for so long.
But an unarmed nation of people vs a regime known for its brutality...

Having a protest about the wrong thing, should be protesting the surveillance state that as it turns out isn't about control at all, it's about targeted population reduction.

205 So, a couple things that I'll note about the Iran situation:

- What happened to the "return of the Shah?"
- Where was the public during all this?
- What happened to the various plans to arm the public, import "freedom fighters?"

Seems like some of the solutions that might have made a difference (or not) were abandoned. For various reasons, apparently. Which left it up to American troops to deal with the situation on the ground?

No thanks.

217 Ben Had. I’m a hammer so everything looks like a nail. I would have preferred we continued combat ops until the IGRC was gone. But there’s an argument that mission would have caused a lot of instability. Which I suppose is plausible. I’ve seen it elsewhere when every single terror group in the alphabet floods in. The Iranians also are not collectively backing any particular person or party to challenge the mullahs. The current conventional thinking is that over time the current government will deteriorate and the push for democratic reforms and an opposition party will take root. I’m highly skeptical as these people are fanatics and I have seen what they can do. They won’t stop and if they stay in power we will be back. I can almost guarantee it. But I’m willing to try another way and see if the regional powers will box them in. YMMV.

224 >>Ironically I think Obama was the only president that understood that the mullahs cannot be negotiated with. It was easier for him because they were already on the same page as far as "Death to America."

Back when he was first elected, I recall reading an article/blog about how both Obama and Brennan thought that the solution to the ME was to replace America with Iran as the stabilizing superpower. Brennan has written a detailed paper about this (probably removed from the internet by now) a few years before Obama as elected. It demonstrated why Brennan would work well on Obama's team.

I think it's more accurate to say the first POTUS to negotiate with Iran on Iran's behalf, backed by a team of likeminded, pro-Iran staff, including Brennan, Jarrett, and Kerry.

It wasn't "the goal." It was one of the triggers for the US to get militarily involved. The other was the IRGC fucking around with Hormuz.

We got the mullahs to lay off the public, but the IRGC beat us to Hormuz. Their bigger mistake, however, was pissing off every other country in the region. The US draws down its forces but the other ME countries there are going to have to pick up the slack.

We'll see how that all works out in the next couple months to a year or so.

276 If the most likely thing happens, Iran reneging on "The Deal," I suspect that fire will once again rain down on the mullahs and the IRGC. I also suspect that the mullahs are having some internal discord and the IRGC is in full scale war with its self. The Kurds want mullah/IRGC blood as well as the majority of the citizens.
THANK ELOHIM THAT OUR FORFATHERS HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO ENSHRINE THE 2ND AMENDMENT HERE. The good Persians in occupied Iran need a 2nd amendment of their own and ready access to inexpensive arms and ammo.

The YouTube "algorithm" sent out a vid of Anna Kendrick (alright I might have looked her up once 👀

in some Broadway thing at 13. Not AI, it was posted 10 years ago.

And she's gyrating on the stage with a bunch of women and men in women's underwear surrounding her and she's singing about being a "hussy".

And so I expected most of the comments to be "wtf is this gross shit" but no most were talking about "go Anna" and they liked how she said "hussy". There were like 10% that were mortified and a few saying they were "waiting for MAGA to come along and criticize it". Anyway that was the 1990's and I would assume she had parents. If I'm on the side that is criticizing that stuff then I am doing something right.

Choose your own strawman.

I consider it progress toward a new direction that doesn't involve sending my and many others' family members to the meat grinder for dubious goals of westernizing a backwards, dead end society of strongmen and goat-fucking tribesmen.

Whether that achieves laudable, stated goals is an open question. But declaring it a failure before it's even signed is just as retarded as declaring it an overwhelming success.

But ask yourself why people are requiring the admin which is attempting to negotiate a lasting peace for us and the region to come out and declare it doomed to failure before it's even signed, because it is something that they do not personally support, for reasons.

That's not just retarded. That's retarded to the retarded power and belies their obvious biases. So fucking tiresome.

They store a lot of it. In the movie "Melania" there's a few bits about all that. From what I gather, the Oval Office and the personal spaces in the White House can be tailored to most any taste in decor from what's in storage. Or personally provided.

295 Reddit coment from above:
we're gonna end up literally eating one or two of them, and the rest will come to heel. It's too much of a meme. There's gotta be dozens of people plotting their sides for their Musk Steak Dinner™, right now.
--------------------------

I will break the rules and do maths here to show how dumb the wealth takers are.

One Trillion dollars divided by 8 Billion people = $125. Yes, if Musk's wealth were confiscated, every man, woman, child and tranny on Earth would get $125. A one-time payment of $125. Yay, we'll all be rich! The Left says we'll only give Musk's wealth to people in the Third Word? Lets say 6 billion people are in the Third World. Each of them gets a whopping one-time payment of $167.67. Wow!

Of course, whatever amount of Musk's wealth is distributed to the down-trodden around the globe, governments will find ways to take some off the top.

Promising to make everyone's life better by seizing the wealth of the evil Oligarchs is a purely political play. So is reparations.

Musk is joking that he's about to begin construction on that volcano lair he's always wanted.

Do you think it should be run by the public before it's actually negotiated and signed? WE must approve first?

Sorry, but after all this time with Trump as President, I pretty much trust his better judgement and will roll with what he decided was a good deal for all involved.

The mullahs will likely be largely neutered, they won't get nukes and their people will not be slaughtered in the streets every day.

347 There's no paper with this "deal" written on it, signed by Trump and some mullah in Iran. At least as I understand it.

There is, however, a list of things the Iranians will do and a list of things we will do. I'm not even sure if there's an actual order to it, yet. Like, Iran does A... then we do B. Or whatever.

And that list of things to do hasn't been made official. Something like 60 days to amend, bitch about, strike, add whatever other issues need or want to be addressed.

If one of the first things agreed was to draw down our forces in the region I'm fairly certain there's a corresponding thing the Iranians have to do.

Or else.

350 Like Freddy from Germany comments about how stunned he was about the size of Auburn's stadium. He couldn't believe it was run by a college. People argued how Europe had large stadiums but it was pointed out only Wembley and Barcelona are larger. Then someone noted that Auburn is the 8th largest of 14 stadiums ..... in the SEC.

"JD Vance on Iran:

We are now speaking directly to the Iranian system. We have some good relationships there.

We are not passing messages through backchannels anymore; we are actually talking to them.

When you talk to them, you figure out what's real, what's fake, what they're serious about, and what they're not serious about..

We are extending an open hand to Iran. If they want to change their relationship with us, we will change our relationship with Iran.

That's the offer."

I suspect that a large part of the reason for the deal is that-

the Iranians were finally convinced that they can run but they cannot hide. If Trump is forced to bring war back to them because of their intransigence, "they" as a group and individuals will most likely die.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago,

if they Iranians "think in decades and hundreds of years, then in their minds they can still achieve victory by waiting out Trump and any successors until the next Democrat Presidency, who will sell the US and Israel down the river in a New york second.

Sidenote: The Iranian people have proven unable or unwilling as a group to successfully overthrow the mullahs/etc. That should not be a reason to delay this deal. Sad as that is.

Now, let's see what happens.

356 There's a lot of skepticism expressed here about the Iran deal. But the current/next string of leadership in Iran may be a bit more willing to abide by the terms of the deal considering that we have demonstrated that we can and WILL take out anyone that violates said terms.

Hard to tell, there are so many angles and allegiances and self-dealing.

Easier to spot the behavioral trends than to speculate funding sources.

Clearly you have the Trump must fail at all costs cult, whatever their motivation.

And of course you have the Israel can't achieve any benefit of US foreign policy weirdos, lest it be ironclad evidence that evil Jews control the world.

Whatever happened to just sober analysis of facts we can know?

We expect that Iran will be represented at the signing ceremony by the speaker of the parliament, the foreign minister and other officials.

We hope that the text of the agreement with Iran will be published this week.

The agreement includes a long-term commitment that will ensure that Iran will never develop or obtain nuclear weapons.

The agreement deprives Iran of the financial resources needed to restore its nuclear program.."

365 At the end of the day, whatever the Iran deal is, if it lowers gas prices, lowers tentions in the region and prevents the mullahs from developing a nuke, it's a good deal, in whatever form it takes.

If materially changes, then it's just diplomatic masturbation.

Aussie tourist takes down a dindu:

Given that he's Australian, "enjoying himself" might well apply.

Some are criticizing him for the sucker punch under the impression that some kind of "fair fight" rules apply in a situation like this.

They don't. There's no referee standing ready to break things up. No ring-side judges to remove points. If the dindu got the Aussie on the ground, he and five of his buddies would happily put the boots to him.

380 Also, Keir Starmer today is going to pass a law that will put restrictions on under-18's using social media (but not Bluesky, oddly enough).

The point of doing this, of course, is that if you put restrictions on what under-18s can view on the internet, then you need to have a mechanism so people can prove that they are over 18.

In other words, the end of anonymity on the internet.

Arrests and bank account seizures to follow...
