There it is. The phone call that proves everything conservatives have been saying about Iran for thirty years.
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 — because American military force finally did what thirty years of diplomacy, sanctions, and strongly worded UN resolutions never could.
It worked. The strikes worked. Now comes the hard part: don’t squander it.
Trump said the quiet part out loud: “I just don’t know if they’re worthy of making a deal. I don’t know that they’re going to honor the deal. That’s the problem.” He’s right on both counts. And the fact that he’s already skeptical is the most encouraging thing he’s said about Iran policy in weeks.
