There is a 100% chance he’s seen it, and there’s a 200% chance it is a material part of his motivation for action.

    If only we could come to an agreement with Iran and all of our allies to bring them to the table to end their nuclear program.

    First, this is the problem with any POTUS entering into such a dramatic deal without congressional approval.  Because if we let one guy do it, then we do not have a choice if the next guy wants to und

Total wishcasting. The people inside Iran are not going to overthrow the regime. It ain't happening until there is an actual organized and powerful opposition with a realistic vision for the future. And right now, they have absolutely nothing.

The only threat to the Islamic regime is Trump and Netanyahu bombing the hell out of the country.

It's time to unleash our secret weapon...

Macklemore, time to suit up, parachute into Tehran and lead your people to freedom.

Alexander Smith: Trump says 'we saved a lot of lives' as Iran signals it won't execute protesters

Iran signaled it would not move ahead with executing protesters and reopened its airspace Thursday, as President Donald Trump left it unclear whether he would take military action over the regime's deadly crackdown. The United States began evacuating key personnel from its largest military base in the Middle East on Wednesday as the prospect of an American strike loomed, and activists said the death toll in Iran had passed 2,500.

But speaking by phone to NBC News on Thursday, Trump said “we saved a lot of lives yesterday,” an apparent reference to his claim that the Iranian regime has stopped killing protesters and halted some planned executions, which he had previously warned could trigger a U.S. military response. Trump did not say whether he has decided to take action on Iran, responding: “I’m not going to tell you that.”

The United Nations Security Council had scheduled an emergency meeting Thursday afternoon at the request of the U.S. Iran's judiciary said Thursday that a man feared to be facing execution would not face the death penalty. Trump posted on Truth Social early Thursday that this was “good news. Hopefully, it will continue!” Erfan Soltani, 26, was expected to be the first protester to face execution, according to the State Department and human rights groups.

However, Iran's judiciary said Thursday that he had not been sentenced to capital punishment. Soltani's charge of "colluding against the country's internal security and propaganda activities against the regime" did not carry the death penalty but he remained behind bars, state media reported. The Norway-based Hengaw Organization for Human Rights said his execution had been "postponed," citing information from Soltani's relatives. Amnesty International said the same, citing a source.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also appeared to step back from official calls for rapid justice by telling Fox News that there would not be "any hanging today or tomorrow or whatever.” He said, “I’m confident about that. There is no plan for hanging at all.” Earlier in the day, Trump said in the Oval Office, “It’s stopped. It’s stopping, and there’s no plan for executions.” Discussing the response from security forces, Trump said that “people were shooting at them with guns, and they were shooting back.” He added: “And you know, it’s one of those things.”

Trump is ready to follow through on his repeated promises to protesters that the U.S. would intervene militarily to support them, but has told his advisers he would want any action to deliver a swift and decisive blow to the regime, according to a U.S. official, two people familiar with the discussions and a person close to the White House. They have so far not been able to give him that guarantee, the sources said.

With the world watching for potential signs of U.S. action, Iran closed its airspace for nearly five hours overnight into Thursday, issuing a "NOTAM" — or "notice to all airmen" — that all flights were banned except ones to and from Tehran that had been given special permission. During that time, FlightRadar24 and other tracking websites showed no planes over the country, which lies along key East-West aviation routes.

That notice was valid for around two hours and nearly five hours, later some planes were seeing making their way toward Tehran, FlightRadar24 showed. Iran closed its airspace during its 12-day aerial conflict with Israel in June. Despite the resumed air traffic and calmer rhetoric, the country is still reeling from the crackdown on the unrest that rocked the Islamic Republic, according to activists and analysts.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said Wednesday that it had confirmed more than 2,600 deaths — including 150 security personnel — and more than 18,000 arrests in protests that were sparked by skyrocketing inflation and the crash of the Iranian rial against the U.S. dollar. Protests kicked off in the capital, Tehran, but had spread to 187 cities around the country, according to HRANA.

The advocacy group says it relies on supporters in Iran cross-checking information and that its data goes through “multiple internal checks.” HRANA attributed a dramatic rise in its death toll this week to Iranians’ ability to make their first calls to the outside world in days since an internet and phone blackout. Authorities have not released an official death toll.

There have been harsh crackdowns on protests in the past but the level of violence in recent days indicated security forces had “waged their deadliest crackdown yet,” Amnesty International said in a report Wednesday. The ruling clergy has indicated that it will not back off the ongoing crackdown to maintain the Islamic Republic, analysts say. “Whatever political legitimacy it had is long gone,” Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, told NBC News in a text message response to questions. “It still has a repressive capacity and dwindling base of support, but its long twilight keeps getting darker.”
