Trump: Stopping 'Evil Empire' Iran More Important Than Oil Prices

U.S. President Donald J. Trump said the ...

Preventing "evil empire" Iran from possessing nuclear weapons is far more important than rising oil prices, President Donald Trump said Thursday, emphasizing that national security and global stability remain his top priorities amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Trump argued that while the war with Iran has caused volatility in global energy markets, stopping Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons must come first.

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stopping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World."




KILLER IN A COMA Iran’s impotent new Ayatollah is in a COMA and has lost at least one leg – as his rogue regime plunges world into chaos
Iran’s new ‘nepo-terrorist’ Supreme Leader ‘suffers horror leg wounds in US-Israeli blitz & is in hiding in secret bunker’
News, sport, celebrities and gossip ...

IRAN is waging a war detonating global chaos led by a man in a coma, it was revealed today.

New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been put in charge by the rogue state’s mad mullahs despite being critically wounded in an air strike.

Sources told The Sun the 56-year-old son of assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lost at least one leg and has also suffered serious stomach or liver damage.

In a bizarre attempt to cover up their stricken Ayatollah, Iranian state TV broadcast what they claim to be his first statement since coming into power.

The statement – read out by a news anchor – said Iran will not hesitate to “avenge the blood of Iranians” who have been killed as it vowed to continue attacks on Dubai and block off the vital Str




Iran’s new impotent supreme leader releases first statement — after reports he’s in coma, had leg amputated

Iran's new impotent supreme leader ...

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, allegedly released his first statement Thursday vowing to use the “lever” of closing the Strait of Hormuz to international energy shipping — after reports circulated that he was in a coma and had his leg amputated after being severely injured in the US-Israeli strikes that killed his father and other family members.

The lengthy message was read out on Iranian state TV by an anchor as an image of Khameni was displayed on screen. No explanation was provided for why the 56-year-old did not appear or read out his purported words.

“I assure everyone that we will not refrain from avenging the blood of your martyrs,” the supreme leader said. “The retaliation we have in mind is not limited only to the martyrdom of the great leader of the revolution [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]; rather, every member of the nation who is martyred by the enemy constitutes a separate case in the file of revenge.”

Iran's new leader issues new statement, says Strait of Hormuz to remain closed

India Today | Iran's newly appointed ...

Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released a new message Thursday saying that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the war is over.

The message about the Strait of Hormuz -- a key route where much of the world's oil travels through -- was read by a news anchor on Iranian state television.

Khamenei also told Gulf neighbors that U.S. military bases need to be removed from their countries. Iran has repeatedly been firing at countries across the Middle East in response to the United States' Operation Epic Fury.

Mojtaba Khamenei did not appear in person while making the statement.




Oil prices surge above $100 per barrel as seven ships attacked in Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz

Oil prices briefly spiked above $100 ...

Oil prices briefly spiked above $100 per barrel early Thursday as seven tankers were attacked by Iran in a two-day period across the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

The two most damaging attacks, apparently carried out by explosive-laden boats, hit the tankers Safesea Vishnu and Zefyros in Iraqi waters, killing at least one crew member and setting the vessels ablaze.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attacks, releasing a video of the burning Safesea Vishnu in which a man can be heard shouting: “Allah is the greatest! The destruction of an American tanker in the northern district of the Persian Gulf! I obey you Khamenei! Hail be the Islamic Republic of Iran! Soldiers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy!”



White House Slams Dem War Powers Strategy

accusing congressional Democrats ...

Several senior White House officials are accusing congressional Democrats of using war powers oversight as a political tactic to delay President Donald Trump's national security agenda, arguing the effort has instead produced repeated votes backing the administration's military operations.

According to the Washington Examiner, the officials said Democratic attempts to challenge or scrutinize U.S. military actions abroad have "overwhelmingly backfired," prompting Congress to reaffirm support for the president's policies multiple times.

"Democrats have sort of perverted this into a method to delay or obstruct the Republican agenda," one senior White House official told the outlet. "While at the very same time having confirmed Congress' perspective on these war operations more times than any Congress in history."

Kelly Clarkson reveals 'lying ...

Kelly Clarkson accused “American Idol” of “lying” about the $1 million check that she was supposed to receive after becoming the singing competition’s very first winner.

The 43-year-old “Since U Been Gone” songstress made the bombshell claim during Tuesday’s episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where she was joined by “Harry Potter” actor Daniel Radcliffe and reality star Rob Rausch.

Clarkson brought up the topic while discussing Rausch’s $220,800 winnings from Season 4 of “The Traitors” — which he revealed he still hasn’t received.

Kelly Clarkson claimed she never received the $1M prize for winning "American Idol."



Missing retired US Air Force general has ‘UFO community’ ties, his wife says amid kidnapping speculation

Missing Retired Air Force General McCasland

Missing retired US Air Force General William McCasland had a “brief association with the UFO community” – but doesn’t have inside intel on “ET bodies” that would be worth kidnapping him over, his wife has said.

Susan McCasland Wilkerson attempted to clear up what she called “misinformation” around her husband’s nearly two-week disappearance after he was last spotted in Albuquerque on Feb. 27.

Retired US Air Force General William McCasland’s wife said he doesn’t have inside intel on “ET bodies” that would be worth kidnapping him over.



President Trump and the US are waging a righteous battle — and winning

The Congressional Republicans should loudly and frequently speak out in support of this cause
By Hugh Hewitt

The United States and Israel are winning this battle with the Islamic Republic of Iran — decisively. Our Gulf allies are standing strong. The cost has already been high, with seven U.S. service members dead and many wounded, some seriously. Soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces have been killed and civilians in Israel and among the Gulf states murdered by the lashing out at every country in the region by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

But of course, some hard-left partisans hate the prospect of either President Donald Trump or the United States winning an important, indeed crucial battle.  That includes, shockingly, Catholic cardinals in the U.S. These cardinals are putting politics ahead of faith and demonstrating deep ignorance of national security affairs combined with indifference to the patriotism of their parishioners — many of whom with family on the front lines — who can be expected to at least stop giving to an anti-American church if not leave it.

For anyone who, out of ignorance, real or feigned, does not understand the nature of the regime atop the 91 million innocent people of Iran: These fanatics murdered 35,000 of their own people in two days and nights of terror in January in Tehran and across other cities in the vast country. 35,000!



The far-left media showed just whose side they’re on during coverage of the NYC ISIS-inspired bomb attack

By Miranda Devine

The sinister media soft-soaping of Saturday’s ISIS bomb attack on the Upper East Side shows exactly whose side these corrupt news organizations are on — and it’s not yours.

They are so far in the tank for the revolutionary left that they aren’t even capable of hiding it with their usual cunning.

We are at the point where the New York Times, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and USA Today will downplay, obfuscate or even justify an ISIS terrorist attack in New York City simply because it was aimed at people they loathe.

Never mind that we saw video all over social media Saturday showing one of the ISIS-radicalized suspects yelling “Allahu Akbar” as he tossed a bomb packed with shrapnel and “Mother of Satan” explosives into an anti-Islam protest near Gracie Mansion.
