Trump Rips Media over Iran Coverage: ‘They Have Gone Absolutely Crazy’

President Donald Trump ripped establishment media on Monday, contending that even if Iran surrendered, outlets like the New York Times would spin it as a victory over the United States.

Trump blasted the Times and others in a Truth Social post on Monday morning:

If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT

Here’s the latest Al Jazeera ‘news’ from Trump

Here are some of the latest updates from US President Trump regarding his war on Iran:

  • Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday afternoon that there is “a very good ⁠chance” that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE could reach a deal to end the war soon.
  • “If we can do that without bombing the hell out of them, I ‌would be very happy,” Trump said.
  • The US president again emphasised his primary condition is that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, but said the US would “be probably satisfied also” if its allies in the region were also satisfied.
  • Trump further specified that he had agreed to wait two or three days before bombing Iran after announcing he had delayed an attack planned for Tuesday.

Today in Modena, Italy, a Moroccan man run over with a car a bunch of pedestrians and then crushed it into a store. He then stabbed a passerby that tried to stop him. We really don’t have to live this way. We shouldn’t accept this as our new reality in Europe. Deport them all!

IDF eliminates Hamas terror commander behind the October 7th terror attacks in 2023

Israel Defence Forces Kill Chief Hamas Architect of October 7th Terror Attacks

Jerusalem has claimed that it has killed the Hamas terror commander behind the October 7th terror attacks in 2023 that saw over 1,200 people killed in Southern Israel and hundreds more taken captive.

One of the key architects behind the deadliest series of terror attacks in the history of the Jewish state has been killed, the Times of Israel reported on Saturday. The Israel Defence Forces said that he was killed in a “precise strike” in Gaza City on Friday evening.

IDF Chief of Staff  Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is quoted by the paper in announcing the killing of the head of Hamas’s armed terrorist wing, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, whom he said was central to the deadly attacks that sparked a war in Gaza.

“This is a significant operational success by the IDF led by the Southern Command, the Intelligence Directorate, the Air Force and the Shin Bet,” Lt. Gen. Zamir said.

“In every conversation I held with the hostages who returned, the name of the arch-terrorist, Izz al-Din al-Haddad — one of the main figures responsible for the October 7 massacre and the head of Hamas’s military wing — came up again and again,” he added.

“Today, we succeeded in eliminating him. The IDF will continue to pursue our enemies, strike, and settle accounts with everyone who took part in the October 7 massacre,” Zamir vowed.

The IDF leader said that the Israeli Southern Command has been instructed to “maintain high operational readiness” in case the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists seek to strike Israel in a revenge attack.

According to Jerusalem, Haddad had taken over as the top military commander of the Hamas terror group in May of 2025 following the killing of  Mohammed Sinwar.

“War (Jihad) will not end. Either they eradicate us, or we eradicate them.”

Prosecutors allege Al-Saadi posted messages urging followers to “kill everyone who supports America and Israel.”

“Do not leave any of them remaining,” he allegedly continued. “Civil and military targets — kill them everywhere.”

Feds Nab Iran-Backed Terror Commander Behind Global Campaign Targeting Americans, Jews

Federal authorities charged an Iran-backed Iraqi militia commander accused of orchestrating a sweeping retaliation campaign targeting Americans and Jews, alleging he coordinated nearly 20 attacks abroad before authorities disrupted a plot targeting a prominent Manhattan synagogue and Jewish institutions in California and Arizona.

Federal authorities alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Friday that Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi — described as a senior commander within Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iraqi terrorist organization backed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — spent months coordinating attacks against American, Israeli, and Jewish targets as part of a broader retaliation campaign launched following the military conflict with Iran that erupted in late February.

Starmers UK is in deep shiite

Yesterday at the Palace of Westminster in London, UK🇬🇧! A large group of Muslims blocked the streets to perform Namaz prayer, while they demanded that the UK immediately implement Sharia law and abolish the British monarchy, because Islam recognizes only Allah as sovereign. Meanwhile, a large number of Muslim police officers were on site maintaining order, protecting these foreign invaders. UK Prime Minister Starmer stated that this is the future of Britain🇬🇧, and it is something he and his Muslim brothers have been pushing for all along.

US President Donald Trump described the UK Prime Minister as weak on immigration, and urged him to ‘stop with the windmills’ in an apparent reference to wind turbines. Trump made the remarks on his way back to the US from a state visit in China.

Trump: ‘this has been a successful 40 hours in China’

Trump Refuses to Reveal Whether He Would Defend Taiwan

The Ayatollahs and the Mullahs are watching American cable news.

They see Democrats scream “illegal war.” They watch anchors call our own President the bigger threat.

Regime leaders watch Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi, and AOC do their jobs for them on live television.

So why would they ever take a deal? Why negotiate in good faith?

The mullahs and generals have been told, over and over, by half of Washington and 90 percent of the press, that all they have to do is wait. Stall. Hold out. The Democrats will do the rest. The media will do the rest.

Our latest meme nails exactly what is happening.

Trump, Rubio, and Hegseth swinging the Maximum Pressure hammer at a cracking Iranian regime.

Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi, AOC, and a wall of media microphones scrambling to hold the pedestal together before it collapses.

Look at it. Whose side are these people actually on?

And now we are right back to the brink.

“Trump is going to hit them a bit,” one administration official told Israel’s Channel 12. Trump just rejected Tehran’s peace offer outright, calling it “a piece of garbage” and the current ceasefire “unbelievably weak.”

If the war resumes in the coming days, and every signal says it will, remember exactly how we got here.

Iran did not hold out because they are strong. They held out because they were told they could win the waiting game.

They were told American voters would crack first. They were told American media would carry their water for free.

They were told correctly.

So when the shooting starts again, do not let a single person forget the names on that cartoon.

Schumer. Jeffries. Pelosi. AOC. Every anchor screaming about Trump while the mullahs sleep soundly in Tehran.

Whose side are Democrats and the mainstream media on? Name the worst offender in the comments. Then share this so every American sees who is propping up the regime.

  • China’s Foreign Ministry says the Iran war has caused “disasters” in the Middle East, after US President Donald Trump’s visit to meet with his counterpart, President Xi Jinping.
  • The US president and Xi discussed the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the White House said, with the Chinese leader agreeing that the waterway “must remain open to support the free flow of energy”.
  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US is sending “contradictory messages” on negotiations, further complicating the process.
  • Dozens of vessels including Chinese-owned have passed through the Strait of Hormuz under Iran’s “management protocols”, the Revolutionary Guard says, as Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping discuss the crucial waterway.
  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi has denounced the US and Israel for “expansionism and warmongering” saying instability in the Middle East is a “lose-lose proposition for all sides – including the aggressors”.
  • Iranian officials are saying the strait is not fully open and not fully closed. They say it is open to everyone, except their adversaries. They are trying to put this grand strategy into practice.

Marco Rubio says US ‘not asking’ for China’s help on Iran

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has insisted the US doesn’t need China’s help on Iran while reiterating that President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping found “common ground” on the Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re not asking for China’s help. We don’t need their help,” Rubio told NBC.

Trump: ‘this has been a successful 40 hours in China’

We were told the US and China were looking to establish a “Board of Trade” to oversee commerce between the two countries.

There’s been no official announcement about that.

But a lot of what Trump wanted to do here, he will think he has achieved.

He talked about selling more planes to China. According to Trump, Boeing is leaving with a deal for 200 jets.

The US also expects to sell more agricultural products to China, in what could be billions in sales over the next three years.

That would be a success for Trump.

He also says there has been progress with the idea of China opening up its markets. That’s why so many US companies were on the trip here.

All in all, Trump will feel this has been a successful 40 hours in China.

But remember, this is just the first of three more expected meetings that the leaders will have this year – two at summits later in the year, and then, of course, an expected state visit by Xi Jinping to Washington, DC in September.

For ISIS (Sunni Muslims) Shi’a are “Rafidite dogs.”

Islamic State Kills Shi’ite Cleric in Damascus

ISIS — the Islamic State — is opposed not only to non-Muslims (Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists), but also to those who profess a brand of Islam that ISIS deems illegitimate. For the fanatical Sunnis of ISIS, this means the Shi’a, whom many Sunnis, even those outside ISIS, regard as Infidels (kuffar).

These Sunnis describe Shi’a as “Rafidite dogs.” “Rafidi” means “rejectors”, and here the “rejectors” referred to are the Shi’a, who “rejected” the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Umar. Some Sunni groups, especially those whom Salafi or Wahhabi interpretations influence, and who rely on scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah, view Shia doctrines — such as the accusation that the Quran is incomplete, reverence for Imams, and cursing of the Companions (Sahaba) — as “vile and evil” acts of apostasy or polytheism.

The Sunni hatred of the Shi’a has led to wholesale killings of Shi’a believers. In Pakistan, for example, there is a Sunni group, Sipah-e-Sahaba, that attacks Shia mosques and madrasas, and kills Shi’a individuals. According to Stanford University’s “Mapping Militant Organizations,” as of February 2012, the “primary methods” of Sipah-e-Sahaba were targeted killings of prominent Shi’as – including political activists, doctors, businessmen, engineers, and intellectuals. The Shi’a have sometimes fought back, and assassinated some of the Sipah-e-Sahaba leaders, including Haq Nawaz Jhangvi in 1990, Isar ul-Qasmi in 1991, Zia ul-Rehman Farooqi in 1997, and Azam Tariq in 2003.

In Afghanistan, the Sunni fanatics of the Taliban have killed the Shi’a, bombing their mosques, killing them at checkpoints, and randomly selecting Shi’a for execution whenever the spirit moves them. The Taliban have repeatedly carried out massacres of the Hazara, an ethnic minority whose members are Shi’a. The Shia have been subject to at least ten mass killings. The worst of those massacres was carried out in August 1998 at Mazar-e Sharif, where the Taliban massacred an estimated 8,000 Hazara civilians. Many thousands more Shi’a Hazara died between 2002 and 2022, with both the Taliban and ISIS targeting unarmed civilians in mosques and schools. In addition, the Taliban have been systematically forcing Hazaras off their land and homes.

The ISIS killing of an important Shi’a cleric in Damascus on May 1 is just the latest example of Sunnis killing Shi’a religious figures, as they have done in the past in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Islamic Jihad has published a list of 15 commanders killed in the war….

The jihad is permanent & relentless. All Muslims must participate, those who don’t are renegades, ‘hypocrites’, worse than infidels, and must be killed.

A post from the IDF: IDF units and an IDF drone have successfully killed 400 armed terrorists from the murderous terror organization Hezbollah, including in their central headquarters, and seized 1,000 of their weapons over the past 2 months. (13.05.2026)

How the Palestinian Authority brainwashes kids to love jihad terror, glorify jihadis, and seek ‘martyrdom’

The IDF has confirmed the elimination of Anas Muhammad Ibrahim Hamed, identified as a Nukhba commander involved in the October 7 massacre at the Nova music festival.
 
According to Israeli reports, Hamed was part of Hamas’s elite “Nukhba” unit, the same force that led the brutal cross-border assault targeting civilians that day.
He was reportedly killed in a precise strike in central Gaza after being tracked by Israeli intelligence and assessed as an ongoing threat to troops operating in the area.
 
For context, the Nova festival attack saw militants storm the site, opening fire on fleeing civilians and abducting hostages in one of the deadliest incidents of October 7.
 
Israel has repeatedly stated it is systematically targeting individuals directly involved in those attacks. This strike appears to be part of that ongoing effort.

The Gulf Countries Are Building a Middle East that Iran Cannot Tolerate

For decades, Iran’s leadership has opposed the direction much of the Gulf has taken politically, economically and diplomatically. Today, that opposition is increasingly being expressed through direct attacks on the states’ infrastructure and way of life. Since Feb. 28, the Iranian regime has launched 549 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles and 2,260 drones at the UAE.

The Iranian regime presents its model as the only legitimate form of Islamic governance. Yet, Gulf states have demonstrated that economic growth, global engagement, and religious life can develop together without the same degree of state control.

US demanded Hormuz opening, enriched uranium during Islamabad talks: Iranian official

Mahmoud Nabavian, member of Iran’s negotiating team, says the US had two main demands during the Islamabad talks: Complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of all 60 percent enriched material from Iran.

In comments shared by ISNA news outlet, Nabavian is quoted as saying:

  • Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said that although the US had the ability to strike Iran’s infrastructure, Iran could also “raze all the infrastructure in the region to the ground in less than half a day”
  • The US said $6 billion in frozen assets be released if Iran cooperated with the demands
  • After contacting Trump, Vance suggested negotiations continue based on the plan presented by the US and Ghalibaf had agreed
  • However, Vance suddenly announced that Trump would not accept the agreement.

Hamas’ Sexual Terror Unveiled

Recurring patterns of rape, sexual torture, mutilation, and abuse of captives is part of jihad & goes back to the days of Muhammad.

‘Silenced No More’: Report Details Sexual Violence Was ‘Deliberate, Systematic’ in Hamas’

‘Silenced No More’: Report Details Sexual Violence Was ‘Deliberate, Systematic’ in Hamas’ Oct. 7 Massacre

A major new report from a two-year investigation documenting Hamas’s October 7 atrocities concluded that sexual violence during the terror group’s massacre and subsequent hostage captivity was “deliberate,” “systematic,” and “integral” to the attack, detailing what researchers described as recurring patterns of rape, sexual torture, mutilation, and abuse carried out across massacre sites, abduction routes, and throughout the prolonged captivity of hostages in Gaza.

The 300-page report — titled Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled — was released Tuesday by the Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children following a two-year investigation into the atrocities committed during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel, the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, in which roughly 1,200 people were murdered and more than 250 taken hostage into Gaza.
