Iran Israel Updates Wed June 24

- Trump: The war is going very well. As you know, we are winning by a lot. Iran is making very significant concessions. We'll see what happens, but it's going very powerful.

- NYP: Republican poll: “After hearing details of the memorandum of understanding signed by President Trump last week, just 32% deem it a 'good deal' while 44% pan it as a 'bad deal,' with another 15% saying it’s 'neither.”

- Rubio on Lebanon: The US is working to establish a “pilot zone” where the Lebanese Army will incrementally begin taking over these zones one by one.

- NYP: Israel furious with Trump for being left out of the US-Iran peace talks: ‘It’s a huge mess’

- David M Friedman Brad Lander made a simple calculation. He could betray the Jewish people, slander the State of Israel, and embrace radical Islam, and thereby pick up enough votes to enter Congress. The math was correct, the morality despicable.

- Scott Jennings cnn Pundit: What is happening right now in New York City, the Democratic Socialist takeover of the Democrat Party should frighten not just Jewish Americans but all Americans everywhere because this is the direction the Democrats are headed nationally.”

- Trump: Iran has informed the U.S. that, despite troublemaking Fake News reporting to the contrary, there are “NO TOLLS, NO INSURANCE COSTS, & NO OTHER CHARGES OF ANY KIND BEING SOUGHT OR RECEIVED BY IRAN ON SHIPS TRAVELING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. If this is false information, negotiations would end, immediately! Additionally, no money has been given to Iran, or released from their money to them, by the U.S. We will be releasing some of their money, that is totally controlled by us, to our Farmers and Ranchers, for the purchase of Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, and more. Food is desperately needed in Iran, and we will be purchasing it for them exclusively from the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

- IDF struck two Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon: "They endangered our forces; we will continue to operate to remove immediate threats

- The Hamas  terrorists  in Gaza are strengthening: The IDF reports that it struck four rocket-launching positions in the Gaza Strip overnight that were prepared for launch and had been established during the ceasefire."

- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

“Even if there will be an American demand, we will not withdraw from southern Lebanon.

Two hundred thousand residents will not return. There are no residents and no terrorists. Why? Because in the past, security zones that included a civilian population became breeding grounds for roadside bombs and attacks against our soldiers. We will not allow that to happen again. Soldiers inside, residents outside. The infrastructure is destroyed, the houses are damaged and pose a threat. We are not withdrawing.”

- Trump: So, I have Iran on the “ropes,” ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME, and the U.S. Senate decides to have a poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote, telling the Number One Sponser of Terror in the World that the United States doesn’t like what I am doing to them, and I must stop, and by so doing has provided aid and comfort the Enemy. Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats, and Iran asked my people, “what does that all mean?” These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done! President DJT

WSJ: Iran's negotiation team consulted psychologists to understand better Trump's line of thinking in light of his series of threatening tweets alongside the talks. According to the report, there are no psychologists on the negotiation team itself, but they are assisting Tehran in understanding how the president will respond to Iranian proposals
