America Blinks, Israel Bleeds The Truth About Trump’s Iran Deal

“You can’t negotiate peace with people who celebrate war — and America just learned that the hard way.” This episode of The Rant Network rips into the fallout of Trump’s Iran memorandum, exposing how the so‑called “ceasefire” collapsed before the ink even dried. Four Israeli soldiers dead, Hezbollah drones in the sky firing on Israel, and Iran celebrating a lifted naval blockade as victory — all while Washington calls it diplomacy. We dissect how appeasement masquerading as progress keeps rewarding terror regimes and punishing allies. From the media’s selective blindness to the West’s obsession with optics over truth, this rant asks the question no one in power wants to answer: how many times will America blink while Israel bleeds?

Juneteenth Schedule And Quick Welcome

SPEAKER_01 0:07

Juneteenth, market's closed. Some people on are off today, so we're hoping that you're watching this at noon Eastern, 9 o'clock Pacific. What is it like 11 o'clock central mountain would be 10 o'clock? We're hoping you're listening to us.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

But like 9, 10, 11, 12.

SPEAKER_01 0:25

You know, we're we're oh yeah, and if you're in Hawaii, if you're in Hawaii, good morning. Uh look, you know, one thing, Stuart, I gotta tell you is what makes

The Deal That Makes No Sense

SPEAKER_01 0:33

to me no sense is how how can you be that either brilliant or freaking stupid? The JD Vance roadshow that was this week was you know, part of it was trying to give everybody an understanding that the United States didn't lose this war and that we're here and and Israel's gonna succumb to what the United States says because Israel wouldn't exist without you know without the United States, you know, that was Donald Trump's statement. And that this mou is just the beginning, and the warning bells were going off everywhere. This is not a peace treaty, this is hardly an MOU. And to sit there and if clause number one says, hey, guess what? Israel must cease all actions and Lebanon must withdraw, or the MoU is dead. That was one of the that was the gotcha clause, Stuart. That to me was knowingly that Hezbollah will continue to fire at Israel, that that was the easiest way to kill this whole MOU. And lo and behold, Stuart, what happened today? Someone's air miles got canceled because they're not going to Switzerland.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

America blinks, Israel bleeds. Four Israeli soldiers are dead this morning. The Inc on Trump Siram memorandum isn't even dry yet. Somebody tell me how this deal is gonna work, which is the flavor on every single news station, whether it's CNN, MS, no, no, no, or Fox News. What happened?

The MOU And The Blockade Lift

SPEAKER_00 2:15

President Trump and Iranian president Moussad Pazakin signed a preliminary MO memorandum of understanding, memorandum offering, benefits to Iran as a first step towards a comprehensive deal. As a part of the ceasefire, the agreement, the U.S. Central Command lifted a blockade on ships entering the existing ready ports and coastal areas. VP Vance was set to travel to Switzerland to negotiate the next Fave. But the trip has been postponed indefinitely, with no explanation given, with the White House confirming that technical talks are not yet finalized. Maybe it's because the Iranians are saying we just beat the Americans. I don't know. The United States just handed Iran a tangible, immediate concession, a naval blockade lifted. Victory in the eyes of these crazy idiots. In exchange for a memorandum that Iran's own foreign ministry is now waffling up, that it's negotiation, that capitulation, an installment plan. Members cabins called the deal bad for Israel. Not to mention that the IRGC said our bombs aren't to negotiate, they're to be sent to Israel. The deal is bad for Israel. And we're right after the reasons came from a horrifying within 48 hours. Vance is not a seasoned diplomat, some argue. And dispatching VP as the face of the most consequential negotiations in generations, that you know, sort of collapse, that doesn't help his political future. The right wing coalition is already pinning its dissatisfaction on Vance. And they should be asking harder questions. Why did Trump lift the blockade before Iran gave a single centrifuge? Well, let's keep going. And if you want to know exactly what Iran did with goodwill,

Hezbollah Drone Attack Kills Soldiers

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Washington just extended, look south to Lebanon, where the answer arrived this morning in the form of a Hezbollah drone. Of the $1 billion Iran sent Hezbollah since 2024. That attack killed four Israeli soldiers. And Netanyahu vows very heavy price shall be paid as of today. Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon, which included Colonel Dor Gedalia, Ben Shimon, commander of the Armored 57th Battalion. Netanyahu called it a flagrant violation of the ceasefire and ordered strikes on more than 80 Hezbollah targets, killing dozens of operatives, including follow-up strikes on Hezbollah command centers in Becca Valley. Netanyahu also reaffirmed that Israel will maintain its security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as it feels necessary, regardless of any international pressure. It's about time. This is what Iranian proxy warfare looks like in real time. And it lands one day after Washington agreed to lift the blockade on Tehran. Hezbolla doesn't fire drones by accident. They fire drones when they calculate that their sponsor, the IRGC Tehran, Ayatollah, has just bought itself breathing room to negotiating table or rearmament. Netanyahu's doing exactly what a leader is supposed to do in this sovereign country. Strike back hard, hitting as many targets as it deemed necessary to defend its security zone. But he's doing it while Washington deal explicitly calls for Lebanon territorial integrity, which was diplomatic call for Israeli get out of the buffer zone. The Trump memorandum and Hezbollah drone attacks are not two separate

Why This Is Cause And Effect

SPEAKER_00 6:55

events. They're cause and effect. You cannot negotiate with the head of the snake while the body is still murdering your soldiers. That's not a ceasefire under any memorandum of understanding. The counter-argument. The counter, the mainstream media line. This is a setback, but diplomacy is messy. The deal is still worth pursuing, in my opinion, because military conflict with Iran could literally be catastrophic. Here's why that falls apart completely. The U.S. lifted the naval blockade, money is flowing. A real concrete concession, a received and return memorandum, Iran's own former ministries now treating as optional. If Washington gave away leverage before technical talks even started, what exactly is left to negotiate? And while commentators urge patience, there's still four dead Israeli soldiers killed by its Iranian proxy army. While there is a ceasefire technically still in effect, the diplomacy is messy. Arguments only work if the other side actually negotiates in good faith. Hezbollah's drone answered that question that every normal human being on earth knew would happen. In fact, I had said this last broadcast. Faithful that this is the option to go somewhere, but the likelihood that it actually stick for 60 days with the Iranian regime not blowing it up was zero. Let's talk about this. Iran got a blockade lifted. Hezbollah killed four soldiers. Who's winning the negotiation? U.S. Central Command lifted its naval blockade on Iranian ports as a condition of ceasefire. A concrete concession delivered it before a single comprehensive term was even agreed. Three. Netanyahu confirmed Israeli forces struck these 80 Hezbollah targets and killed dozens of operatives in response to the drone attack that killed its soldiers, including a battalion commander.

Diplomacy Is Messy Argument Tested

SPEAKER_00 9:21

The families of Lieutenant Dior Dahlia, Ben, Shimon, and three unnamed soldiers are burying their sons today. Washington's still deciding whether technical talks are finalized. Someone tell me what's gonna, you know, got the blockade lifted. Members of Netanyahu Cabinet called the deal bad for Israel. Hezguan made their point. This is the oldest pattern in the Middle East. It's the playbook. Washington keeps falling for it, the West keeps falling for it. Iran smiles, negotiates, puts up its pawns that has no value in human life, pockets Americans' conceptions. Concessions. And then a naval blockade's lifted before the final deal exists. Hezbollah does the dirty work. Tehran has plausible distance. Four mothers and fathers bury their children today. The prime minister of a sovereign nation strikes back. Trump's memorandum never got Lebanon to agree. The security zone is going to be kept in the north and the south. It's not a bargaining chip. Israel didn't sign it. It's not appeasement that Israel's going to tolerate in 2026. Switzerland's canceled. That's it. Blood is on the Americans' hands. Yet again. You cannot placate a country with an ideology. You can't. They're looking at its citizens as willful pawns. They're martyred. I can go on, David, the entire 15 minutes on this. But I'm going to take a pause because I think you got what to add.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

So look, Stuart, what did uh Donald Trump do when a drone shot down an American helicopter with two people in it who didn't die? We're gonna give him uh we're gonna give him help. Stuart, remember that? Pounded the crap out of a riot, but Israel can't. Israel shouldn't. I have an MOU, I have an election to win. I

The Proxy Warfare Playbook

SPEAKER_01 11:55

am gonna tell you what to do. I decide. Really, Donald. Really? You get to decide for a sovereign nation whether or not she's allowed to defend herself or not? Uh-uh.

unknown 12:07

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

No, no, no. You're an idiot to believe that Iran was gonna keep any part of this MOU. You're an idiot to believe that you are allegedly giving away more than the GCP JCPOA. Yeah, you could say, oh no, we backhanded it. Oh no, we're this, we're not. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. You also have to realize one thing that what you what the American media and Western media doesn't want to show you is what the Ayatollah really says and what the president of Iran really says. That they just took the first step to crushing America and Israel, that they want to conquer Jerusalem. And you want to avoid all that just to do what? Western media are complicit in terror, my friend. That is my accusation today. Because you're not showing the real side of Iran. You just want to embarrass Trump. You want your guy or person, whoever woman, or whatever, trans person, I don't fucking care, as the next democratic candidate and win the next election. You want to crush Trump in the in the in the midterm elections. That's all you care about. So you're hiding the truth. You're hiding the truth that that Donald Trump calling in on Syria to help in Lebanon is absolute sham. You also cannot like you just you're just buying into this narrative that this was peace in our times. And I don't could care what media house, by the way, Stuart, whether it is Fox or MS Stupid, I don't care. You all said the peace deal. It's not a peace deal. Trump called it peace. It's not peace, unless you spell it differently. There are no there's no peace in the Middle East, there's just quiet and there's noise, because there's never peace. You said it, Stuart. There's an ideology that is not changing, and there these these mullahs have absolutely no power if they don't have an enemy. Let me say that again. These mullahs, these terrorists, and you call them operatives, Stuart. They're terrorists, they're not operatives. Operatives don't work that way. Terrorists are going after innocent civilians. And Hezbollah's fired rockets and drones into civilians. Today they hit soldiers, yes, but they've been attacking the north of Israel since early October 2023. And the West blames Israel. The West is saying it's a war with Lebanon. No, it isn't a war with Lebanon. What you may not have heard on Media Stuart, of course, because God forbid you should do that, is both the Prime Minister and the President of Israel reached out to Lebanon to say, we want to work with you to get rid of the cancer that is Hezbollah. But don't no no. Don't listen to people like Bridget Gabriel, who was born and raised in in Lebanon, who survived what was what that that disaster that is you know terror. Stuart, what people don't want to see is that 50 years ago, before you got, or even 60 years ago, before you had these mullahs and these extreme terrorists and what have you, the Middle East actually looked like the West. Lebanon was considered the powers of the Middle East, ruined by terrorists, ruined by the PLO, ruined then by Hezbollah. And it blamed Israel because

Media Narratives And Ideology Reality

SPEAKER_01 15:30

that's the easiest thing to do. It's the thing that people can agree on. Blame the Jew. And that's what's happening today. And the paid people to comment on our sites, who are paid by the Soros associations and other groups to go online, to intimidate, to yell, to shit on, to whatever, they're not there, they're trying to convince you once again. You see, we would have had peace in the Middle East, but the Jew fucked up. The Jew retaliated. I don't understand war games, please. Ukraine and Russia can beat the crap out of each other, you don't say a word. The United States can pound Iran and you don't say a word. But the minute Israel tries to defend herself, you yell and scream, how dare she? Israel is not gonna lay down. If you haven't seen that since October 7, 2023, Israel is trying to rid itself of the cancer that's there. First, it was Hamas, who by the way is rearming. Thank you very much, Mr. Trump, again for trying to create something that is non-existent. There is no peace. Where is your boat of peace to stop the re-arming of Hamas? And now you've got this. And I talked about this on Wednesday. Yeah, Stuart, you said it was an attempt, it was a change of path. It wasn't. Because once you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. I don't care what color the lipstick is. And you know what, Stuart? Iran basically said, kiss my ass.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

Oh, I love that. Great, great, great close. You know, I I I you know let let me be clear. And and and I I hope I didn't parse my words, and and unfortunately, the web won't let me do so. It's always been my belief that you have to start with something. And it's President Trump as it was President Biden and President Obama. I I take offense by that, it's not Mr. The reality is if they don't comply, the reality is they're likely just gonna blow the shit into the Stone Age and have an excuse to do it. And I I don't think that if they would have just gone and blown it up, that would have been the right methodology either. You know, giving someone an off-ramp is something that politically they felt was required. Is

Off Ramps Versus Consequences Debate

SPEAKER_00 17:55

it the right decision, David? You know, history will come back and let us know. But for the four mothers and fathers that buried their children today, it clearly wasn't.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

Ah, Stuart, you keep talking about the four parents today, but you're not talking about the thousands. Stuart, you you know what?

SPEAKER_00 18:13

David, I'm talking about the four mothers and fathers. No, no, the ink's not even dry on this half of the day. That doesn't discount, that's not discounting who came from before. I again, I don't know why you have to take that negative viewpoint. I'm not taking the negative view, you know, I'm not disregarding, but by by acknowledging the mothers and fathers of these four as the ink's not even dry, is only acknowledging what's happened just since the ink's dried, not the thousands of people and the atrocities that these animals have brought to the entire globe, not just Israel, for 47 years.

SPEAKER_01 18:54

You're getting, I get you're caught up in the four, and you should be. And you're right. The ink's not dry, and look, here we are again, and nothing has changed. That's what I'm trying to get at. Guys, nothing has changed. This regime isn't gonna succumb suddenly to Western values, it's not gonna agree. It continues to say that they won the war, that they brought Trump to its knees. Is that a peace partner or is that a warmonger?

unknown 19:21

Warmonger.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

Okay, that's what you've got, Stuart. You got warmongers, you got people who want to bring Sharia law to the world, they want to create disruption. Russia's involved here. They've uh there's an there's an un you know, there's an alliance with Russia. There's not stability, Stuart. It's all about

What Real Peace Partners Sound Like

SPEAKER_01 19:40

instability. That's the what the Iranians want, that's what the Iranian regime wants. The IRGC is not gonna give up its power. You know, the the Mullah right now, Khomeini, is not running Iran. Let's get real. Iran is being run by the IRGC, and you could tell by the negotiations and you could tell by the demands that this is not about any type of reconciliation. Stewart, the we in the West promised that we would bring change to the Middle East. We, as in Trump and whatever, we didn't bring any change, Stewart. The problem is we just moved the pawn backwards. And so we'll just start the game all over again. We're restarting the chess game. There's no clean game, there's no clean relationship, there's no alliance, there's no, you know, you look at what Israel did, for example, with the UAE, first with the Abraham Accords, and there was progress, always progress. Here, there is no progress unless Iran benefits. So to sit here today and say, listen, we will we relieved the blockade. Iran today, the IRGC is celebrating a victory that they brought the United States to its knees. And if this is what you call a peace partner, that's not the message a peace partner drives. When King when King Hussein of Jordan signed the the peace treaty, peace treaty with Israel back before the Middle East changed about 30 odd years ago, again, okay, he was talking about peaceful relationships, cooperation. Those were words that a peace per that a person who brings peace talks about. Same thing on the Abraham Accords, same thing with Anwar Sadat. All you hear here is conquest and destruction and the eradication of Jews. If you call that peace in our times, Mr. Chamberlain, good for you. David, that's it. Have a good week.
