There is much more to be said about the terms of the ceasefire under which the Iranian regime is now raking in the billions (under the general license granted by Secretary Bessent that I posted yesterday in “First tango in Lake Lucerne”) . We must have lost the war. President Trump has posited the alternative to the deal as a global depression. I didn’t think a master dealmaker would reveal to his opponent that his opponent holds the winning hand. Apparently that isn’t the case.
In the adjacent post I write about the fate that has befallen my high school alma mater. Montana Senator Tim Sheehy is a former Navy Seal, a successful businessman, and a distinguished alumnus of the school. Indeed, he is the first SPA alum to serve in the United States Senate, although he remains unmentioned by the school. He is also an alumnus of the Naval Academy, which rightly touts him as a notable graduate.
On the other side of town The Blake School is probably SPA’s foremost prviate school competitor. Blake has senatorial bragging rights on Al Franken. However, Franken resigned his seat in disgrace. You’d think SPA might call on Senator Sheehy now in its hour of need.
In the video clip below Senator Sheehy explains what the Iranian regime is all about for those who need help piercing the fog emanated by the Trump administration’s testimonials to our Iranian interlocutors and Pakistani/Qatari “helpers.”
This is the most eloquent and informative explanation of the Iran regime threat that I’ve heard in 23 years working on the issue.
And I’ve heard many.
