Trump to Iran: ‘Do Not F**k Around with Us’

Oct 13, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

After Obama gave them billions, it’s easy to see why the Mullahs think America is a pushover. My latest in FrontPage:

Iran, said President Trump on the Rush Limbaugh show on Friday, has been “put on notice.” The President elaborated: “If you f–k around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are gonna do things to you that have never been done before.” Amid all the pearl-clutching on the Left over the President’s language (as if any Leftist politician speaksdemurely by comparison), the point has been lost that Trump’s tough stance toward the Islamic Republic of Iran has been effective in a way that Obama’s billions never were.

Back in April, for example, Trump tweeted: “I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.” This came after, according to Business Insider, “nearly a dozen Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy vessels sailed out Wednesday to harass a collection of US Navy and Coast Guard vessels conducting operations in international waters.”

The U.S. Navy stated that eleven Iranian boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy (IRGCN) “conducted dangerous and harassing approaches,” and added that “the IRGCN’s dangerous and provocative actions increased the risk of miscalculation and collision.” The Iranians, said the Navy statement, were violating the “rules of the road.”

But then came Trump’s threat, and lo and behold, the Iranian harassment of American ships ended. Trump has demonstrated again and again that being strong with Iran, instead of pursuing appeasement as Obama did, works. As Obama (who stopped Israel from going after Quds Force commander Qasim Soleimani) concluded his notorious nuclear deal with Iran, Iranian political analyst Ali Wambold pointed out that the Constitution of the Islamic Republic “proclaims ‘the ideological mission of jihad,’ which it defines as ‘extending the sovereignty of God’s law throughout the world,’ through Iran’s Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.” Thus, he said, “to treat with the Islamic Republic over the particulars of its weaponry while failing to address the very purpose of its bellicosity is delusional. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action does nothing to change the fact that, in plain Farsi, Iran is committed to world conquest by Islam, with its clerics as warlords. Those to be conquered include America (the ‘Great Satan’), Israel (the ‘Little Satan’) and the Sunni-led Gulf States.”

The nuke deal did nothing to change that aspiration because it cannot be changed. Iran’s Brigadier General Qolamhossein Qeib-parvar of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared: “There are only two things that would end enmity between us and the US. Either the US president and EU leaders should convert to Islam and imitate the Supreme Leader, or Iran should abandon Islam and the Islamic revolution. If they are not going to turn Muslim, we are not going to abandon Islam or the revolution either. But I do not know why some people believe that some day we will make peace with the US and start relations with them.”

On September 23, 2015, two months after the nuke deal was finalized, Khamenei published an article entitled “The Idols Will Be Shattered,” illustrated with a drawing of the Statue of Liberty shattered in pieces. In it he declared, “The idol of the soul, the idol of pride, [and] the idol of sexual lust; the idol of tyranny and subservience; the idol of global tyranny [that is, the U.S.]; the idol of sloth and irresponsibility; and the other idols that shame the precious human soul—a plan that will spring forth from the depths of the heart will shatter them.”

But then Donald Trump became President. Iran continued its adventurism, and got new sanctions. Nonetheless, it persisted, and Soleimani was killed. Do the mullahs really doubt that Trump will act swiftly and decisively in response to further Iranian provocations? The Left’s outrage over the President’s language may be designed to obscure the fact that his strategy is working. Islamic supremacists and jihadis generally understand the world in terms of strength and weakness. They respect strength and despise weakness, and they see appeasement and accommodation as weakness. When Obama gave them billions and a pathway to nuclear weapons within ten years, they became more aggressive than ever. When Trump spoke and acted more firmly, they have curbed their activities.

But will the establishment media ever grasp the change, or report it to the American people? Of course not. They would much rather f**k with the President.

    It appears President Trump is the ONLY leader we have had since WW II that is not embarrassed or ashamed to use our military as it was intended. If, God forbid, the doddering Joe Biden was elected as the new figurehead President, those who control him would capitulate to Iran and the mullahs in a NY minute. The ONLY way we can reach any type of accommodation with Iran is the TOTAL elimination of the mullahs. The few Iranian people I have known are NOT represented by the mullahs, just as Obama, Biden, the DNC and the entire Democrat party in no way, shape or form represent me.

      You quickly forget (or never heard of) President Reagan. H took on our external enemies in Lebanon, Libya, Panama, Grenada, Nicaragua, with Military Force, all the while defending the United States from the Mainstream Media and the Legislature (they called him the Teflon President for a very good reason; their “crap” did not stick to him). He assisted The Falklands with Intelligence Overflights as they fought to defend their Island from Argentinian Aggression. He did things to protect the American People and Industries from dangerous subversive events within the Nation such as the PATCO Strike (which angered people depending on what side of the issue they were on. He was not afraid to lead, and lead he did). How did the general public rate his leadership? He won two terms as President by a margin never seen since WW-II. President Reagan was a World Leader with influence. He even made a big impression on the world’s communist, from the Soviet Union to North Korea and the Mid-East Countries.

      This is not to detract from President Trump. I hope he wins re-election. This is to say your uncontrolled einsteinium comes across as hyperbole, which is very much the Democratic Communist exaggeration or moslem dramatization. In some circles your contribution can loose it’s impact under suspicion it needs to be propped up in order to be worthy of consideration.

        Ben Kennedy,

        I had a patient a few years ago who was a former air traffic controller and member of PATCO.

        He deeply regretted being part of the 1981 strike and refusing to return to work as ordered by Pres. Reagan.

        He just didn’t believe the President Reagan would make good on his threat to fire all non-returning air traffic controllers…

        I have the greatest respect for President Reagan. His record on Islam is rather mixed, though–unlike Communism, he did not appear to recognize Jihad terror as a specific threat.

        To be fair, few did at the time–including myself.

    One report shares, our national security just removed 92 Iranian websites pushing Biden’s propaganda, which may include some of Obama’s former policies. I think Barrack Hussain Obama, as a Muslim, was obligated and commited to help the Islamic world, not appeasing. He has used his Muslim name, and didn’t hide his connection with the Muslim Brotherhood, or his support of Iran as well as ISIS. Syrian leader, Bashar al Assad, recently clarified, Obama’s financial support of the Islamic aggression. His comrades, Hillary and John Kerry were both assisting him. The riots now are a mix of Islamic Socialists with the Liberal, Radical Socialists. Regarding the foul term used by President Trump, the Muslim squad used it often in their social media. The world uses it so often, it has become a common, filthy term as any slang.

      Yes.

      Sounds a lot like “Don’t tread on me !” from the American Revolution. Ben Franklin spoke about the rattlesnake on the Gadsden Flag which bears that motto:

      “… she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of stepping on her.—Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?”

      You don’t answer an iron fist with a velvet glove. President Trump believes in victory as the goal. Obama is a servant of the One World Order of Islam and the shadow government still creeps around in the back halls of our congress. We, as Americans , in order to protect the Republic, must remain vigilant and at the ready. Islam has a seven hundred year track record of patience. The alternative for the free world is either to crush their agenda or submit to world domination. The choice is on November 3rd.

    And not to forget that IRAN is the land of AL-RAZI /AL-RHAZES (854-925), the Most Brilliant Physician of the Middle-Ages. He used the Scientific Method to make his discoveries,contributions.

    HE WAS AN EX-MUSLIM

    He wrote a book,of which we have fragments,called “The Prophets’ Fraudulent Tricks”, against Mohammed and Islam.

    BUT BEFORE

    It was the GOLDEN AGE of SCIENCE in the Muslim world with:

    1.AL-KHWARIZMI: (died 850 ) Persian mathematician, famous for his book on ALGEBRA and who introduced the INDIAN NUMERALS to the Arab empire.

    2.AL-HAZEN ( 965-1040): the greatest physicist of the Middle Ages,born in Irak,wrote on optics.

    3.AVICENNA (980-1037): great Persian physician

    4.AL-BIRUNI ( 973-1050): also Persian, learned SANSKRIT and wrote a HISTORY OF INDIA and was an impartial writer on customs and creeds of various nations.

    5.ABULCASIS / AL-ZAHRAWI (936-1013): famous physician born in Muslim Spain,considered to be the greatest surgeon of the Middle Ages

    WHAT AL-RAZI WROTE IN HIS BOOK:

    He said:

    ““You claim that the EVIDENTIARY MIRACLE is present and available, namely, the KORAN.

    You say: “Whoever denies it, let him produce a similar one.”

    Indeed, we shall produce a THOUSAND SIMILAR,

    from the works of rhetoricians, eloquent speakers and valiant poets,

    which are more appropriately phrased and state the issues more succinctly. They convey the meaning better and their rhymed prose is in better meter. … By God what you say astonishes us! You are talking about a

    WORK( my note:the KORAN) which recounts ancient myths,

    and which at the same time is FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS and does NOT CONTAIN ANY USEFUL INFORMATION OR EXPLANATION”

    HE ALSO STATED:

    “If the people of this religion are asked about the proof for the soundness of their religion,

    they FLARE UP ,

    GET ANGRY and SPILL THE BLOOD of whoever confronts them with this question.

    They FORBID RATIONAL SPECULATION, and STRIVE TO KILL THEIR ADVERSARIES.

    This is why truth became thoroughly silenced and concealed.”

    I am in England-Dover to be precise, where we are being invaded daily by diseased and illegal immigrants , all men with the exception of one woman and or child every few thousand so the media can claim they are poor refugees. None are DNA tested. None are tested for covid. They are asked if they feel well and for details which they all lie about-taqiyaah. It is against their human rights to go further. The extreme twisted left in this country, with the help of the blm loving media, is forcing their agenda on us but as with you in America, I believe we are more in number than ‘they’ want us to think. I believe it is exactly the same in America I hope Donald Trump gets back in. Good Luck America

    Its hilarious to hear the president drop the f bomb but even funnier to hear Biden say he wants to rejoin the JCPOA or Iran Nuclear Deal.

    I guess when u see the world through the lens of racism and “white supremacy” its difficult to tell friend from foe.

    First, Trump was speaking to those in power in that “mullah regime” in Iran in the only language that they are able to understand.

    Second, the movie /documentary Trump Card by Dinesh D’ Souza reveals that those in control of that aggressive Islamic tyranny of Iran do back that feeble minded weak man Joe Biden for President of the United Sates because they want to get rid of Donald Trump.. For that mullah president Iran and other in power in the tyranny know that they can manipulate Biden ,as President for their Islamic agenda but they but that cant do so with President Trump.

    Third, that Sharia law based tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran which has the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran” and also about the chief and head Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had a strong hand in establishing this so called “Republic “
    The very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny, Ayatollah Khomeini, had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic . Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style. ‘” [1]

    Forth, that cruel and tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran regime has severely limited to an extreme much knowledge and wisdom from the outside world. This is because that fiendish and murderous ayatollahs and mullahs in power in Iran are very much afraid the Iranian people might discover different ideas. As the idea’s and philosophy of John Locke

    For example, Locke views the people living under any genuine government are people retaining their individual rights after a government has been established to protect human rights. . In other words, the securing of their rights – the protection of the life, liberty and property of all – is the sole legitimate purpose of government. I If a government begins to abuse those rights it then becomes tyrannical and the governed [the people] retain the right to overthrow that government and replace it with one that does its job properly.

    So that heinous”mullah regime” of Iran, greatly fears such ideas and keeps the people under his hideous control of his tyranny in and the darkness of much limited information.

    It should be made clear that “the Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” [1]
    It’s complete blindness , delusion ,folly and error to even attempt to establish Sharia law in North Africa or for that matter any other nation or place in this world.

    About Islamic law ,otherwise known and Sharia law. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.

    There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.

    Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.

    In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.

    The US sanction ban on oil exports from this the “mullah regime” of Iran is a grand and wise plan. The Trump administration has said that it aims to reduce those exports to zero.” For that Islamic tyranny is hostile against the United States, the State of Israel and many other nations and the people who are citizens of those countries.

    As for those current economic sanctions that are being held against that Islamic tyranny of Iran Is very good and appropriate. This Islamic rough state of Iran inappropriately it has the word “Republic” in its title. America’s National Security Adviser, John Bolton, had said that goal of the sanctions is not to make a “regime chance” but to cause charge for the better in the actions and polices by the heads of state in Iran .

    For those mullahs and the others in power in Iran are so thoroughly deceitful, demonic, wicked, vicious and cruel that they will not change their malicious ways. As explain in the Bible “What is crooked cannot be straightened; which is lacking cannot be counted.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.I.V.] Indeed, Those malice -filled and hateful Muslim clerics who have much power in Iran along with the other Islamic stooges who rule Iran “cannot be counted” to make any chances for the better . The ayatollahs and mullahs in their likeminded Muslim partners in total governmental control of Iran are very anti- female m as in extremely misogynistic and oppressive ruthless to both girls and woman as well as all of the Iranian people who are trapped in forced to existed in this diabolical Islamic regime. As it is written in Proverbs 15:15. “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” Likewise, Ecclesiastes 4:1 reads “ I saw the tears of the oppressed – and they have no comforter; power was in the side of the oppressors …”

    Furthermore ,Proverbs 28:15 very well describes such wicked characters who rule Iran as president Rouhani and ayatollah Khamenei . For it reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.” Furthermore, such a vicious mindset of heinous arrogance of Rouhani, Khamenei and the other hateful and spiteful Islamic clerics in this “mullah regime” of Iran is reflected in the words from the Bible describing tyrannical villains in power of an oppressive regime. For Psalm 73:6—9 read “Therefore pride is their necklace:: they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil ;their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.”
