Iran War Enters Eleventh Day: ‘Very Complete, Pretty Much’

The Iran War entered its eleventh day on Tuesday as President Trump sent contradictory signals about when the American-Israeli military campaign might end.

On Monday afternoon, Trump told CBS News that the war “is very complete, pretty much.” But later on Monday evening, Trump said that “we will hit them so hard that it will not be possible for them or anybody else helping them to ever recover that section of the world.” He later warned Iran on Truth Social that, if oil does not flow freely through the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. “will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them.”

Trump said U.S. forces have carried out 3,000 airstrikes since the war began. The Washington Post reported how the Pentagon spent at least $5.6 billion worth of munitions in the first two days of the Iran War. The total cost of the war so far is not publicly known.

The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf rejected the possibility of a ceasefire, writing on X that “we are not seeking a ceasefire; we believe we must strike the aggressor in the mouth so that it learns a lesson and never again even thinks of aggressing against our dear Iran.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told PBS Monday that ceasefire negotiations are off the table at the moment. “We negotiated with them last year, in last June, and they attacked us in the middle of negotiations. And, again this year, they tried to convince us that this time is different,” he said.

Israel continued its invasion and bombing of Lebanon. Lebanese authorities reported Monday that the death toll from Israeli attacks across Lebanon was 486.Nearly 700,000 people have already been displaced, according to UNICEF.

Iran’s strikes and its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which have forced oil and gas facilities across the Gulf to shut down, caused crude oil prices to surge to $120 on Sunday night before coming down to $89 Tuesday morning. Gas prices continued to rise, with AAA reporting Tuesday that the national average regular gas price is at $3.54 per gallon.

ICYMI: Tucker Carlson Calls Mark Levin’s Messaging “A Species of Witchcraft” — Suggests Mike Huckabee Is Under a “Spell” to Support Israel

Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson engage in a discussion on The Megyn Kelly Show, featuring a modern studio setup with microphones and a glass of water.

Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson engage in a discussion on The Megyn Kelly Show, featuring a modern studio setup with microphones and a glass of water.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused radio host Mark Levin of engaging in what he described as “a species of witchcraft” to manufacture political consensus, while also suggesting that Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee may be under some sort of “spell” when it comes to his support for Israel.

Tucker Carlson’s remarks about Mark Levin were made during his appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show on February 26, approximately two weeks ago.

His comments suggesting Mike Huckabee may be “under a spell” come from a separate appearance on the Judging Freedom podcast with Judge Andrew Napolitano on December 17, 2025.

Both clips have recently resurfaced and are now going viral again on X, where users are widely circulating the segments amid the ongoing debate inside conservative media about U.S. foreign policy, Israel, and Iran.

During a recent interview with journalist Megyn Kelly, the conversation turned to the increasingly heated debate among conservatives over U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel and Iran.

According to Carlson, some prominent conservative voices are attempting to create political “truth” simply through repetition.

Tucker Carlson:
What people like Levin—whom I’m not attacking; I feel sorry for him because he’s clearly living in hell—are trying to do is a species of witchcraft. It’s really simple: you repeat something until it becomes true.

Khamenei must die. We’re going into war. We’re gonna knock off the government. This is good for us. Anyone who’s against it is an antisemite, a Nazi, should be expelled, Benedict Arnold, not allowed in the White House. You keep repeating things that are untrue until they become true.

[…]

You speak, and you create truth by speaking. In the beginning was the Word. There’s a holy power, a supernatural power, in words. Describing things is different from simply doing them.

If you can talk reality into being, this is what an incantation is. This is what a spell is. It’s not spooky or crazy stuff—it’s the lived reality of every person. Say it, and it becomes true. And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. And nobody is making the case for how does this help The United States? How does this make us richer, safer, happier? Zero.

Carlson also took aim at former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, suggesting that some political figures are acting as paid advocates rather than independent thinkers.

Shills like Pompeo—who are getting paid from who knows how many different groups to lie to you—come across as some moral voice.

During an appearance on the Judging Freedom Podcast, where he elaborated further on what he described as a deeper and almost “metaphysical” explanation for some political behavior in Washington.

Tucker Carlson:
But there’s something deeper. There’s almost a spell. Huckabee, for example—do you really think Huckabee is being threatened? I know Huckabee well. I’m sure you do, too. Nice man.

What is this? I look at him and I see a man under a spell. I mean this—and I’ll be mocked for it—but I mean it. There’s no practical, conventional explanation for some of this behavior. I look at Ted Cruz and I’m like, I think I know what’s going on. Lindsey Graham—I think I know what’s going on. But Mike Huckabee? I think he is under a spell. He is not thinking clearly at all.

So when Mike Huckabee stands up and says—and I think Mike Huckabee likes America, or did—but when he says, “God will destroy our country if we don’t support Bibi,” it’s like: how could someone ever say something like that? I don’t know the answer, but I think it’s more metaphysical than political.

A Tennessee Republican congressman sparked widespread fury across social media after weighing in on last weekend’s Islamic terrorist attack in New York City, but he is not backing down one inch.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence on Saturday. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.

One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

The two thugs responsible for the terror attack, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, were charged </> in federal court yesterday with attempting to support ISIS.

A furious Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) responded to the terror attack with an extremely provocative comment: Muslims do not belong in the United States.

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote. “Pluralism is a lie.”

Ogles’ tweet prompted a series of furious responses from leftist Democrats, including elected officials. Some demanded that Ogles be expelled from Congress, while others demanded the GOP denounce his remarks.

“To Hakeem Jeffries, Gavin Newsom, and the high-ranking Democrats flooding X to condemn me,” Ogles said. “A Muslim shot and killed three Americans in Texas. Two Muslims tried to blow up New York City…again.”

“Meanwhile, all DHS counterterrorism programs are unfunded because you shut them down.”

Ogles added that no one would be saying a word if he said the same thing about Christians.

“My comments wouldn’t even be a news story if I had said this about Christians,” Ogles wrote. “Please spare me your moral outrage. Cry harder. ”

“Christ is King.”

JUST IN: Trump Appoints Erika Kirk to US Air Force Academy Board of Visitors

Donald Trump presents an award to a woman during a ceremony in front of American flags in a formal setting.

President Trump presents Erika Kirk with Charlie Kirk’s posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom

President Trump has appointed Erika Kirk, the widow of slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, to fill a vacancy on the US Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors. 

Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on September 10, 2025, by a leftwing assassin, was also a member of the Board of Visitors at the time of his passing.

“We are shocked and deeply saddened by the murder of Mr. Charlie Kirk, a member of the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Association & Foundation said in a statement following Kirk’s death. “Mr. Kirk was a passionate champion for our Academy, its timeless mission and the extraordinary Cadets who have dedicated their lives to service before self.”

“I had the privilege of serving alongside him on the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors this year, inspiring the next generation of servicemembers together. My heart aches for the Kirk family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. Please join me in lifting his family and our entire nation up in prayer,” Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), Board of Visitors Chairman, said.

The Board advises the Department of War on morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“The Board consists of six members appointed by the President, two designated by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, one designated by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, one each designated by the Chair and Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, two designated by the Majority Leader of the Senate, two designated by the Minority Leader of the Senate, and one each designated by the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee,” according to the Air Force Adcademy.

As a presidentially designated board member, Kirk joins Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Dan Clark, Doug Nikolai, and Dina Powell.

Per the Colorado Springs Gazette:

As a Board of Visitors member, Erika Kirk is one of 16 members responsible for making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense about changes at the Air Force Academy. The board also includes members of Congress including 5th Congressional District Rep. Jeff Crank of Colorado Springs along with Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Chairman Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, among others.

The board did not announce her appointment. But her name now appears on the list of members.

Turning Point USA said Erika Kirk was unavailable to respond to questions about her Board of Visitors appointment.

During his short time on the board, Charlie Kirk drew attention to the construction delays at the chapel and encouraged the school to emphasize what sets America apart.

“It’s imperative that these cadets know that we are the greatest nation ever,” he said, the board meeting in August.

Erika Kirk also took over as CEO of Turning Point USA after Charlie Kirk’s death.

HERE’S THE LIST! Mark Meadows Reveals Which Senators Back Passing the SAVE America Act with a Standing Filibuster — And Which Holdouts Are STILL Missing

The pressure campaign on Senate Republicans is escalating as conservatives demand action on the SAVE America Act, and now President Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is putting lawmakers on notice.

Mark Meadows has dropped the hammer on X, revealing exactly which Republican senators are ready for a ‘standing filibuster’ for the SAVE America Act, and which RINOs are still dragging their feet, potentially sabotaging President Trump’s top priority to secure our elections from fraud and illegal alien interference.

As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, the SAVE Act is the critical election integrity bill that mandates voter ID and proof of citizenship for every ballot cast, commonsense measures supported by a whopping 85-90% of Americans, including Democrats.

Yet, radical leftists like Chuck Schumer have shamelessly compared it to “Jim Crow 2.0,” even though resurfaced footage shows Schumer himself railing against immigration fraud and demanding voter ID back in 1996!

President Trump has put the Senate on notice, vowing not to sign ANY other bills until the SAVE Act lands on his desk, and he’s even demanded key enhancements to make it ironclad against Deep State sabotage.

But as we’ve detailed, establishment RINOs like Senate Majority Leader John Thune have stabbed Trump in the back, refusing to nuke the filibuster and admitting the GOP is “not unified” on using a talking filibuster to ram this through.

Even worse, Mitch McConnell has been caught blocking the bill from even reaching the floor, prompting Trump to troll him mercilessly with viral memes highlighting his cognitive decline and anti-America agenda.

Now, Meadows is turning up the heat with a daily “whip count” to shame the holdouts into action. In his latest X post, he laid it all out:

“I’m going to keep posting our whip count so America knows which senators are supportive of passing the SAVE America Act via standing filibuster.

As promised, I’ll update this list daily as more senators join the fight.”

According to Meadows’ list, the following Republican senators have already signaled support for passing the SAVE America Act through a standing filibuster:

  • Jim Banks (IN)
  • Marsha Blackburn (TN)
  • Ted Budd (NC)
  • Katie Britt (AL)
  • Bill Cassidy (LA)
  • John Cornyn (TX)
  • Ted Cruz (TX)
  • Joni Ernst (IA)
  • Bill Hagerty (TN)
  • Josh Hawley (MO)
  • Ron Johnson (WI)
  • Mike Lee (UT)
  • Cynthia Lummis (WY)
  • Roger Marshall (KS)
  • Dave McCormick (PA)
  • Ashley Moody (FL)
  • Bernie Moreno (OH)
  • Markwayne Mullin (OK)
  • Rand Paul (KY)
  • Jim Risch (ID)
  • Eric Schmitt (MO)
  • Rick Scott (FL)
  • Tim Sheehy (MT)
  • Dan Sullivan (AK)
  • Tommy Tuberville (AL)

But then Meadows called out the MISSING IN ACTION crew, who have not yet publicly supported the standing filibuster strategy, encouraging voters to pressure them.

“Again, here are all the GOP Senators that are not yet on the list. Feel free to invite them to show their support!”

Those senators include:

  • John Barrasso (WY)
  • John Boozman (AR)
  • Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
  • Susan Collins (ME)
  • Tom Cotton (AR)
  • Kevin Cramer (ND)
  • Mike Crapo (ID)
  • John Curtis (UT)
  • Steve Daines (MT)
  • Deb Fischer (NE)
  • Lindsey Graham (SC)
  • Chuck Grassley (IA)
  • John Hoeven (ND)
  • Jim Justice (WV)
  • John Kennedy (LA)
  • James Lankford (OK)
  • Mitch McConnell (KY)
  • Jerry Moran (KS)
  • Lisa Murkowski (AK)
  • Pete Ricketts (NE)
  • Tim Scott (SC)
  • John Thune (SD)
  • Thom Tillis (NC)
  • Roger Wicker (MS)
  • Todd Young (IN)

Look at this rogue’s gallery: From McConnell, who’s been exposed as the chief blocker, to Thune, who’s quashing the talking filibuster thanks to four unnamed GOPers (but we can guess who). And don’t get us started on Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, or Susan Collins.

Even John Cornyn, who recently got a savage takedown from Texas AG Ken Paxton after flip-flopping to support the talking filibuster, made Meadows’ good list, but only after public shaming. This proves pressure works!

It’s time to FLOOD these senators’ offices with calls and emails! Tell them to get on board. The future of our Republic depends on passing the SAVE America Act NOW, before the midterms turn into another stolen mess.

Police Bodycam Caught Chilling Statement from NYC Terror Suspect After He Was Taken Into Custody

Two young men interact on a city street, with police officers visible in the background, highlighting a tense urban scene.

Two young men interact on a city street, with police officers visible in the background, highlighting a tense urban scene.

The two men arrested in Saturday’s attempted bombing of a demonstration in New York City apparently didn’t bother invoking their right to remain silent.

In fact, they did everything but.

And a federal court filing Monday that included details picked up by police body cameras as 18-year-old Emir Balat was being taken to a precinct house makes it clear Islamic terrorism was behind the attempted atrocity.

“This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet,” Balat said in a recorded moment, according to a prosecution complaint filed in the Southern District of New York.

“We take action! We take action!”

In Balat’s case, according to authorities, that “action” meant building and hurling explosive devices for the express purpose of murdering those who participated in a protest outside the Gracie Mansion home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor.

According to the complaint, the protest was called “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City, Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer.”

That drew a counterprotest, “Run Nazis out of New York City,” the complaint said.

Shortly after noon, an individual now identified as Balat ignited and threw what was found to be a bomb at the anti-Islam protesters. He then got another device, also a bomb, from another man, now identified as his accomplice, 19-year-old Ibraham Kayumi, according to the complaint.

Balat lit that bomb and dropped it near police officers who were approaching. He then fled, but was arrested almost immediately.

Kayumi was also arrested quickly. According to the complaint, he was asked by someone in the crowd why he had been part of the attack and he responded, “ISIS.”

Once at the precinct house, Balat made the attack’s motivation even clearer. Provided with a paper and pen, he had pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group.

“All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds,” he wrote, according to the complaint. “I pledge my allegience [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar!”

The complaint noted that “kuffar” is a term for non-Muslim, and “die in your rage” is an Islamic State slogan based on a verse in the Quran, the Muslim scripture.

Besides his Islamist terrorist motivation, Balat made it clear that his goal was mass murder.

When interrogators asked Balat if he was attempting to do something like the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013, in which two Muslim brothers detonated explosives near the finish line of the event, Balat confirmed that he was.

That attack caused three fatalities and left hundreds wounded.

One of the bombing brothers died in a shootout with police. The other is on federal death row.

“No, even bigger,” Balat replied, according to the complaint. “It was only three deaths.”

According to CBS News, Balat and Kayumi are both charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, use of a weapon of mass destruction, transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives, and unlawful possession of destructive devices.

Both men are from homes in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, northeast of Philadelphia.

Balat’s family is of Turkish origin, and his parents became naturalized American citizens in 2017, according to CBS News. Kayumi’s parents are from Afghanistan and became naturalized Americans in 2004 and 2009, the outlet reported.

Sen. Mike Lee Fires Back After RINO John Thune Claims Support for SAVE America Act Is Driven by “Paid Influencers”

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has fired back at Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) for arrogantly dismissing the massive grassroots demand for the SAVE America Act as nothing more than a “paid influencer” scheme.

This comes as Thune, the epitome of establishment weakness, continues to drag his feet on passing the critical voter integrity bill that would mandate photo ID and proof of citizenship, measures overwhelmingly supported by real Americans sick of election fraud and non-citizen voting.

Sen. Lee didn’t mince words in his powerful statement, directly countering Thune’s insulting narrative that belittles millions of patriotic voices:

“Over the last few months, tens of millions of Americans have jumped on the cause of supporting the SAVE America Act and using the talking filibuster to advance it.

I regret that some in Washington tonight are dismissing all those who feel this way—and who have weighed in—as somehow “paid influencers” or the product of paid influencers. This is wrong.

If you’re hearing this message and you agree with these objectives, please redouble your efforts. Make it clear this is not the product of paid influencers. These are real Americans doing what Americans do best.”

WATCH:

President Trump himself shredded Thune’s lame excuses during a recent House Republican retreat, emphasizing that everyday Americans are begging for the SAVE Act: “The people are DEMANDING it! Every time I go out, [people say] ‘The SAVE America Act, sir! We want the SAVE America Act, sir!’ That’s ALL they talk about!”

Trump knows this isn’t some fabricated campaign. It’s a genuine outcry from patriots furious over the Biden-Harris invasion that flooded our country with millions of illegals, many of whom could tip elections if not stopped.

Thune needs to man up, pass the SAVE America Act NOW, or face the wrath of primaries.

US Not Happy with Israel Over Latest Iran Strikes: Report

The film was captivating, but the reviews were negative.

Israel launched a devastating attack Saturday night on oil storage facilities in Tehran, with results that residents told the U.K.’s Guardian were “apocalyptic.”

“Thick black smoke was still rising in the sky, soot covered the streets and cars, balconies filled with black gunk, and the toxic air had filled the lungs,” the Guardian said in describing the aftermath of the attack.

Multiple social media posts showed the extent of the damage.

But the Trump White House was not cheering the devastation — quite the contrary, according to Axios, which said the results were not what the U.S. expected from the raid.

“We don’t think it was a good idea,” a senior U.S. official said.

An Israeli official said the American message to Israel was “WTF”.

“The president doesn’t like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn’t want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices,” a Trump adviser said, noting that attacking oil that Iranian citizens need could make them rally around their government at a time when the U.S. is trying to promote disenchantment with the regime.

Israel said the depot was a legitimate military target.

The attack also drew a rebuke from hawkish Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

“Our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative. However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah’s regime. In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select,” Graham posted on X.

“Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor,” he posted.

Despite the administration’s squeamishness over the oil depot raid. President Donald Trump said Monday that the day could come when Iran’s power grid becomes a target, according to the Times of Israel.

“We’ve left some of the most important targets for later, in case we need to do it,” Trump said.

“If we hit [those targets], it’s going to take many years for them to be rebuilt. [The targets have] to do with electricity production and many other things. We’re not looking to do that if we don’t have to,” Trump said.

HUGE NETWORK EXPOSED: Fox News’ Will Cain Reveals Paid Protest Machine Behind Anti-Trump Iran Demonstrations

News anchor presenting information on screen during a live broadcast at Fox News, featuring details about Code Pink donations and Neville Roy Singham.

News anchor presenting information on screen during a live broadcast at Fox News, featuring details about Code Pink donations and Neville Roy Singham.

A stunning new investigation highlighted on Fox News has raised serious questions about whether the anti-Trump protests erupting across the country over the Iran conflict are truly “grassroots” or part of a coordinated, well-funded activist network backed by radical groups and foreign-linked money.

As The Gateway Pundit has relentlessly exposed in our previous reporting, these “protests” are nothing but astroturf operations – fake outrage bought and paid for by deep-pocketed leftists and foreign influencers.

During a deep dive on his program, Fox News host Will Cain pulled back the curtain on a tightly connected ecosystem of far-left activist organizations repeatedly showing up behind anti-Trump, anti-ICE, pro-Palestine, and now pro-Iran protests.

And according to Cain, the same names and the same funding sources appear again and again.

Cain pointed to several organizations whose logos and organizing infrastructure repeatedly appear on protest posters and social-media calls to action.

Among the most prominent:

  • ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism)
  • National Iranian American Council (NIAC)
  • The People’s Forum
  • Code Pink

These organizations have frequently organized demonstrations opposing U.S. foreign policy, immigration enforcement, and Israeli military operations.

The ANSWER Coalition, for example, was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks and has long organized anti-war demonstrations. This outfit has “well-documented connections to Hamas and Iran,” according to a 2024 House Committee report.

They’ve protested the killing of Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani, rallied for Palestine in 2023, and even demonstrated in support of Maduro’s capture.

Similarly, Code Pink, a far-left activist organization known for staging protests in the halls of Congress, has led demonstrations opposing U.S. military actions and has organized pro-Palestinian activism for years.

Cain spotlighted the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), accused in 2020 of being an unregistered foreign agent with deep ties to the Iranian regime. Founded in 2002, they’ve consistently shilled for Iran while embedding themselves in these so-called “protests.”

Then there’s the People’s Forum, a 2017 creation obsessed with “anti-imperialism and anti-capitalism” – code for hating America and everything it stands for. They’ve organized in support of Palestinians, defended Columbia University students expelled for anti-Semitic antics (many of whom faced immigration woes), and yes, protested Maduro’s downfall.

Cain argued that when Americans look closely at protest posters and event organizers, these same groups repeatedly appear behind major demonstrations.

“This isn’t random,” Cain said during his investigation. “It’s the same networks, the same organizers, and often the same funding.”

Cain’s investigation then turned to the question that many Americans are now asking:

Who is funding these operations?

The trail leads to a controversial figure: Neville Roy Singham, a former American technology entrepreneur who sold his company for hundreds of millions and now resides in Shanghai.

Will Cain:
“Hold it right there for one moment.

Neville Roy Singham—connected to the Chinese Communist Party—has funded multiple groups we just showed you up on these walls. He funded The People’s Forum. He funded Code Pink. There is also reporting that he helped fund the ANSWER Coalition.

Neville Roy Singham—multiple groups here. The background. The money.

In 1974, he was the subject of an investigation over ties to groups engaged in activities inimical to United States interests. He later worked as a consultant for a Chinese multinational corporation and technology company. As mentioned, he currently lives in Shanghai.

Whether it’s anti-ICE protests, Free Palestine rallies, or now pro-Iran demonstrations, it’s the same networks, the same branding, and in many of these cases the same organizers and funding.

They’re mobile, fast, well-funded, and they consistently side with America’s adversaries.
