In this week’s edition of the CUFI Action Update, we examine some problems and highlight a key part of one solution.  

In this week’s edition of the Action Update we meet the dominant force (presently) in Iran, shine the light on the Pentagon’s effort to sneak a few million over to the LAF, and note just how valuable the Abraham Accords have proven to be.

Hezbollah keeps killing, the Iranians are grieving, and Rep. Massie keeps getting it wrong.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power once wrote, “…the most important part of decision-making was not the justness of one’s intentions but the effectiveness of one’s actions.”

It’s a half-true (at best) quote from someone who advanced and supported some of President Obama’s deadliest policies and acts of indifference. Although ultimately irrelevant to all but the neo-leftist choir, Ms. Powers and this specific quote exemplify the lie that is the foreign policy establishment. The truth is that serious people ensure they are making both just and effective decisions – sacrificing one for the other is why Ms. Powers and her ilk ultimately set the table for the 10/7 Massacre, the current war with Iran, and the deaths of more than 30,000 Iranian protestors.    

So, with this in mind, let’s check in with an Administration that doesn’t accept the (deadly) Powers Compromise…

For the purposes of the first part of this Action Update, we’re going to ignore what everyone is saying. Rather, we’ll just report the reality on the air, land and seas. After that, we promise we’ll bring back in everybody’s statements and opinions so we can check in on the diplomacy front…

While (current) Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi acknowledges that his regime is “in contact” with the US, he maintains, “this is not a negotiation.” Everything’s a negotiation, and we suspect that Mr. Araghchi knows that.

This week, Israel’s words and actions have made clear that Jerusalem will set up a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. On the Iranian front, news has moved so quickly, by the time we write that section, things will have changed – so let’s dive right in.

In this week’s edition of the CUFI Action Update, we spend all the time we’re ever going to on Joe Kent (God willing) and discuss the current situation in Iran and Lebanon.

The war in Iran continues, with American and Israeli efforts destroying 75% of the Islamic Republic’s missile launchers and targeting numerous tools of the regime’s repression. But the United States cannot force a revolution in Iran. Let’s get into it.
