** President Trump: Please Do Not Leave the Iranian Regime in Place ([link removed])
We Waited More Than Four Decades for You, We Will Not Get Another Break

* Iran's regime has been using two tactics. It says: "We need time. We are, because of the strikes, fractured and our leadership divided." Or, as Vice President J.D. Vance naively noted on its behalf, it says it does not know what it wants. "The Iranians aren't themselves quite clear in what direction they want to go," Vance, with a straight face, told reporters at the White House; "they are also just a fractured country."
* That is exactly what the regime wants: that you are dumb enough to believe that. The Iranian regime knows precisely what it wants.
* The supposed "moderates" will say, " Oh please wait for us. We are so fractured! We just want to win over the hardliners -- and we are ALMOST there!" This dish has been served up for years. It works.
* If Iran's regime stays in power, it will break every agreement -- with full vengeance. The world cannot wait another 50 years, hoping for maybe another President Trump.
* Do not listen to the liberal media outlets that are telling you to stop, de-escalate, or accept 20-year fake "moratoriums" or other idiotic half-measures.
* Your trusted "negotiator," Pakistan, is a long-time supporter of Iran. Pakistan wants to see the regime survive.
* President Trump: For the world, for humanity, for Western civilization, please do not leave this regime in place -- or a secular military one that is just as fierce. We cannot wait another 50 years for someone like you again.

The Iranian regime is playing its game again: drag everything out to stay in power until the American public grows tired of high gasoline prices; or until the November midterm elections. Drag the deals. Drag the talks. Drag the feedback. Drag the confusion. Or else: Put a deal out on the table and then take it back. Then put out another deal. Then another one. Before you know it, the West will be worn down. Pictured: US Vice President JD Vance, on April 11, 2026, in Islamabad, Pakistan, where he led US negotiations with Iran.

The Iranian regime is playing its game again: drag everything out to stay in power until the American public grows tired of high gasoline prices; or until the November midterm elections, when the Democrats might win; or until 2029 when President Donald J. Trump's term finally ends and he is replaced, with luck, by an invertebrate.
