Although President Donald Trump has sought to destroy Islamic terrorism and its foremost global sponsor, the Islamic Republic, or the Islamic Caliphate of the Shiite Mullahs, he confirmed Wednesday that Vice President JD Vance had written to a senior official of Iran’s occupying, repressive, plundering, and destructive regime, days before the midterm elections, under the latest delusion and mirage called “peace negotiations.” For the vice president of a nation considered the cradle of democracy and the rule of law to contact Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, an Islamic criminal and veteran terrorist of the Mansouroun group, is grotesque.
Trump said Vance had sought his approval: “I said if you want to do that, that’s OK.” What value does writing to a terrorist have? What credibility does it confer? What has happened in the White House that the delusion persists that “destroying and changing the regime in Tehran” remains taboo? What stands in the way? The White House’s willingness to endure such humiliation by a criminal sect in the 21st century is astonishing. Is there fear? Of what? Is there a deal? Is this a game?
