The Iranian regime must be held accountable for its extortion of global energy markets and indiscriminate targeting of civilians with missiles and drones. Under @POTUS’ leadership, as part of Economic Fury, Treasury will continue to follow the money and target the Iranian… https://t.co/gtD6E3til4

SALENA ZITO: ‘I am a Democrat’: Will Pennsylvania turn on John Fetterman?
Fetterman’s pro-Israel stance increasingly made him “pro-Trump” in the eyes of many progressives. When he and his wife, Giselle, met with Trump in Florida to get acquainted — what was once a common courtesy between congressional members of opposite parties and presidents — it was considered an act of betrayal.
Powerful Democrats such as Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer were once aligned with Fetterman on issues such as securing the border and supporting Republican presidential picks for Cabinet positions despite political differences.
It wasn’t Fetterman who changed; he still believes in those things as much as he believes in a woman’s right to choose, rights for the LGBTQ+ community and progressive economic views such as closing tax loopholes for the wealthy and supporting workers’ rights and affordable health care.
“The party has abandoned core values in the face of TDS,” Fetterman said, referencing “Trump derangement syndrome.”
Hatred of Israel and observant Jews, too.

BREAKING:
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP ANNOUNCES IRAN CEASEFIRE EXTENSION@willcain has the details. pic.twitter.com/KrgJbOuA3M

Trump: “Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.”
So the regime not showing up in Pakistan for the talks might have been less about intransigence and more about political chaos.
Regardless, the blockade remains in place, and that’s the most important pressure point.
UPDATE:
Hearing from Arabic sources that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard places Qalibaf, Pezeshkian, and Araghchi under house arrest.
Negotiations with US are halted.

If — again, if — the IRGC has seized what’s left of the civilian government leadership, it’s hard to see how the ceasefire extension lasts very long. Those guys are hardcore revolutionary Islamists.

Read the whole thing, but this part stands out: “The color revolution playbook has one tool for security forces: social pressure through professional networks to induce defection. Driscoll is embedded in those networks. He can be pulled away. Hegseth isn’t.”
Aside from Trump, Hegseth might be the most important individual in the entire executive branch, and for reasons most Americans can’t even imagine.
HMM: Are We Seeing the Makings of an Iranian Civil War? “So we see that when Iranian President Pezeshkian, who seems, as a rule, more pragmatic than the IRGC, signaled he’s ready to be reasonable and will negotiate, the IRGC didn’t follow along, but rather launched a war against Iran’s civilian government. It is the IRGC who have been working against every diplomatic channel that Pezeshkian has been trying to open.”
NICE WORK, FELLAS:
