What it takes to end a reign of terror
American Thinker ^ | 27 Jun, 2026 | Mark C. Ross

Regardless of how it gets done, putting the crazy-vicious Iranian mullahs back into their box will trigger a sigh of relief all across the planet. This sigh will be loudest among the millions of innocent Iranian captives of this despotic regime. Meanwhile, criticism of U.S. efforts to complete this process is both loud and mostly erroneous. Why? Because Trump is leading the effort.

This misinformation campaign is obviously fracturing American support. For example, I recently received this email:

Hello Mark. Can any sane person believe that the US MOU with criminal Iran can have any basis for approval? IRGC remains intact, they keep their missile capabilities, they demand we side with them against Israel’s destruction of Hezbollah, we tell them their country will be rebuilt. What happened to our leadership?

Of particular significance is that my correspondent was, for a tour of duty many years ago, head of the Pentagon’s Middle East desk. Also, more recent events have further bolstered confidence in the beneficial conclusion of the current conflict.

A plethora of opinions on this subject is still flooding all forms of media. Getting the “president” of Iran to agree to unfettered U.N. oversight of their nuclear activities is a serious declaration. However, the mullahs object. Gee, I’m shocked!

Bottom line: Iran is already defeated...it’s just that it doesn’t matter all that much to the ruling theocracy. Also, unlike the Iranian regime, the U.S. and Israel are modern nations, largely influenced by pragmatism rather than a religious dogma that has long been at war with most of the rest of the world.

Lurking behind all of this guessing is whether or not a genuine conclusion, truly beneficial to the U.S. and its “friends,” can be achieved while Mr. Trump is still president. Fortunately, more than two years remain before

The DemocRATs do not want President trump to have a victory no matter how much it hurts long=term world peace. It seems they are siding with the terrorists, especially the “Jihad Wing of the DemocRAT Party”.

I hope Trump’s team is looking at the City of London as one of the culprits orchestrating the attacks in the Persian Gulf. They are the only ones to benefit.

Yes...recently read about “City of London” involvement in middle east. A little confused. Is it actual city, or just a term for a group?

City of London is it’s own country like the Vatican is in the middle of Italy. A city state that has been pulling the strings for a long long time. Including the US.

YW, Another way to think of the City of London is to compare it to Iron Bank of Braavos in Game of Thrones. They pretty much controlled all wars and empires.
