Trump Berates Israel & Agrees Peace with Iran
- A Radical Dispatch
1) Trump Makes Peace With Iran
In a historic moment, President Trump has finalised the long awaited peace deal with Iran.
The Strait of Hormuz will reopen for global trade.
The Times reports 16th June 2026:
“President Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz ‘partially’ reopened as the electronically signed peace deal with Iran was roundly criticised in Israel. Speaking at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, alongside the host President Macron, Trump said that the ‘deal’s all signed’ and predicted the key shipping lane would be ‘completely opened’ by Friday..”
The deal is already signed.

President Trump: “It’s already signed. The deal is already signed. And the Strait is partially opened as you know, they’re doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they’ve already found.”
Though Trump makes it clear that it must be implemented.

Reporter: “Is the text of the agreement now final?”
Trump: “No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding. And if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head. Okay? Because they’ve misbehaved for 47 years. All right? But nobody could have made this deal. I mean, the JCPOA done by Obama, he handed him a billion seven in cash, gave him hundreds of millions of dollars, hundreds of, gave him billions and billions of dollars, but he gave him 1.7 billion dollars in cash, green cash from banks, into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. And they stood at the plane. I have pictures of it, like, oh my, look at this money he’s giving us. He tried to bribe his way out. I didn’t do that. Nobody mentions that. 1.7 billion and hundreds of millions of dollars. They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he’s a stupid son of a bitch. Okay, thank you very much.”
Regardless, here is the reported final text of the deal.
We provided our reaction on the first night of this news breaking for GB News America with Bev Turner.

Maajid Nawaz: “First of all, it’s a great moment. It’s a historic moment. And before we count our chickens before they hatch, it’s important to say that though, of course, the world is anticipating the signing of the peace deal on Friday, there are some strings left undone. There is, of course, the reaction of many voices inside Israel that are skeptical of this deal. There are voices, even interestingly, on the left, that are anti-Trump, that find themselves curiously on the same side of Israel, being skeptical of this deal, even though they are ostensibly anti-war voices. But of course, with that said, we are cautiously optimistic about about what will unfold over the course of this week with the signing ceremony in Geneva on Friday. Of course, President Trump is already there and this is truly a historic moment. It is something that changes the equation in the Middle East. The deal will mean at the end of the root cause of what has been a decades long conflict in the Middle East, and there were really two main parties that were behind that decades long conflict. Multiple countries, by the way, involved in that war over decades. And those two main warring factions were of course Iran and all their proxies that they were backing across the region, and on the other side, Israel. Now what President Trump has really achieved here is truly groundbreaking. No other US president prior to this has been able to achieve this. Even the Obama deal that President Trump undid famously. The difference this time is that President Trump, right up until the last moment, was working hand in glove, it appeared to be, with the Israelis and taking them all the way up to this line, where this peace deal has been signed. Now the Israelis, many voices in fact inside Israel, have complained about the deal, but the problem, the difference this time around is there really isn’t much room left for them to manoeuvre, beyond this deal. So even if they try and make some military manoeuvre, say in Lebanon where Netanyahu has made some noises about not being happy, about having to pull his troops out, the difference this time around is that if Israel were to continue this war, they would really find themselves internationally isolated and perhaps for the first time, without even US backing beyond this point as well. And now if we look to Iran, again this war has demonstrated what with the complete decapitation of the Iranian leadership that Iran, after doing everything it could in the region including bombing its neighbours found itself, also, after that point isolated. Because all of the Sunni Arab Gulf states, of course backed by Pakistan, stood on the one end opposed to Iran’s continued bombardment of its neighbors. So both countries found themselves relatively isolated in the region. And so it really is a unique moment that despite, despite the fact that there is clear will inside Israel to carry this on, there isn’t much political room for anyone to manoeuvre beyond this point. So what we’re hoping to see is a peace deal that despite difficulties, is held and maintained. And it could truly mean the end of a decades long conflict in the Middle East and perhaps the beginnings of an era of peace. Of course, with that said we’ve still got the Gaza situation and the Gaza peace board to get to as well, but one thing at a time Bev.”
2) Middle Eastern Countries Are On Board With Trump’s Peace
Iran has confirmed this deal.
So too has Lebanon.
Of course, it was Pakistan that mediated this deal, and so they too are naturally in alignment.

“After three months and sixteen days of immense trials, Alhamdulillah, Iran and the United States have announced an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all sides, including Lebanon. Speaker, the signing ceremony of this historic agreement will be held in Geneva, God willing, on Friday, June 19th, and this event will be hosted by Pakistan, by the grace of God.”
Turkey is also in favour.

And even Hamas are on board.
3) Israel, the CIA & Globalists Oppose Trump’s Deal
Upon hearing this news, our first reaction was to warn of those who would seek to undermine the peace.
And when we appeared on GB News UK with Michelle Dewbury, debating Labour’s Lord Reese, we were provided with a live example of this mindset.
Click to play:
Lord Reese: “The Strait of Hormuz.”
Maajid Nawaz: “Sorry?”
Lord Reese: “Iran now know that they can choke it. They didn’t know this before, in an operation way, right?”
Maajid Nawaz: “No, that's not the deal….Iran has agreed not to charge tolls for any ships to go through that strait. Thanks to the mediation of Pakistan, and of course with the backing of the United States of America, the only money they’ll take for ships sailing through that strait is for services they provide, which is fair enough. But they will not charge tolls. So as a result, what we’ve got is a reopened strait. We’ve got a normalisation that will occur with Iran, a reintegration of Iran into the region, under Pakistani nuclear auspices. Surely that’s a good thing? Israel is furious because of the fact that Trump as agreed this deal. So when you say Trump is bringing instability to the world, I see the exact opposite happening. I see President Trump brining stability to the Middle East in the form of the peace deal with Iran, of course mediated by Pakistan, with Turkey on board, Saudi Arabia on board. Now you’re looking at me with that funny face. But all the Middle Eastern Muslim majority countries are backing the Trump deal and they are the countries of the region who all, without exception, are actually saying that Trump’s bringing stability to the region. Pakistan, in fact, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Not that I say I endorse that. In fact, I think Pakistan should get it. But the fact is we’ve now got stability in the Middle East.”
Lord Reese: “Well, that’s a lot of words, but to describe a world that is opposite to the one that we now actually have. The idea that the world is more stable today than it was three years ago is, frankly, I don’t know where you get this from. The impact on our economy, Western nations stepping away from Trump, the talk that Trump had about invading Canada and co-opting it, the instability with international agreements. Countries are now planning not how they relate to a dependable US. But how they relate to a volatile US, an unpredictable US. And actually, Trump is not the only voice in US politics by the ay. I work with US mayors all the time, and they are themselves at pains to try and reach out and maintain relationships of stability with political leaders around the world with whom they have had relationships that they feel are being undermined by now. So this is not just an outside perspective on the instability the US is bringing, this is an inside perspective within the United States.”
Maajid Nawaz: “Sir, three years ago Yemen was engulfed in war, Syria was engulfed in war with chunks of that country ruled by ISIS. Iraq was engulfed in war because of the spill over from the effects from Syria. And you’re saying that the world is now less stable than iit was three years ago? What’s happened in those three years is, Syria’s become stabilised. Yes, because of course, the relationship that the new Syrian government has with Erdogan of Turkey, and the stabilising role that Turkey has played. Saudi Arabia’s played a stabilising role. Pakistan’s played a stabilising role, in Syria. But all of that because of the umbrella, the security umbrella that the Americans have provided. So Syria’s stabilised. Yemen is beginning to stabilise. Saudi Arabia’s war with Yemen has stabilised. And of course now we’ve just got the peace deal with Iran, and you’re sitting here trying to convince those that follow politics in the Middle East, the world is now less stable now than it was three ago in the Middle East. This is absolutely the opposite of what’s just unfolded in the Middle East.”
Lord Reese: “Well, we are living in different reality. So the missiles that have been flying around the world…”
Maajid Nawaz: “Which ones?
Lord Reese: “From Iran to the neighbouring nations…”
Maajid Nawaz: “You mean the war that Trump just stopped? The war that Trump just stopped. That is what we’re talking about!”
Lord Reese: “It’s incredibly difficult to argue against something that is self-evidently true.”
Maajid Nawaz: “In your head!”
Lord Reese: “The idea that at this moment in time, the United States is a more dependable partner in our network…”
Maajid Nawaz: “100%, yeah, it is.”
Lord Reese: “…in our network of world relationships, when you look at those historic relationships with Canada, across Europe, is frankly ridiculous…The fact that national leaders, even in the G7 right now, the G7 meetings are planning on how they work with Trump, an unstable Trump. They don’t have a president that is certain. We’ve had 30 declarations of peace. 30 declarations of deals on the table. That in and of itself is unstable. The global markets are going up and down. People make money from those global markets going up and down. But the markets going up and down in and of themselves are proof of the instability that Trump has brought to the world.”
Maajid Nawaz: “Sir, you’ve named Canada. That’s a first world example of a country that’s upset with President Trump. And they’re upset because they’ve been incredibly privileged up until he came along. Likewise the United Kingdom, likewise Europe. Now if you look at the countries that actually matter, and those are countries that actually suffer from the conflicts and the wars, the permawars that the neocons started in the Middle East, I’ve named you a few of them and I note you haven’t responded to any of that. Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. All of those countries. All of those countries have been very happy with Trump. In fact, if you look at those who signed up to the Gaza Peace Board, all these Muslim majority countries have suffered from the wars in the region, have been incredibly happy with the stabilising force that President Trump has brought to the Middle East.”
Lord Reese: “There are plenty of countries in the region who are incredibly unhappy at the moment..”
Maajid Nawaz: “..first world countries like Canada.”
Lord Reese: “No, no, in the Middle East because of the missiles that have now been fired and fired to..”
Maajid Nawaz: “First world countries like Canada.”
Lord Reese: “Nope no, in the Middle East.”
Maajid Nawaz: “Name them.”
Lord Marvin: “Saudi Arabia.”
Maajid Nawaz: “No, unhappy with Trump.”
Lord Reese: “Yeah, because of the instability that he’s brought to the region.”
Maajid Nawaz: “Saudi Arabia is not unhappy with Trump Marvin.”
Lord Reese: “So he’s not happy with the missiles that are being fired around the region.”
Maajid Nawaz: “That is a straw man argument.”
Lord Reese: “When Qatar got fired on and the United States didn’t...”
Maajid Nawaz: “You’re making stuff up, sir. You’re literally making stuff up.”
Lord Reese: “Can I finish the line?”
Maajid Nawaz: “Please address the point made.”
Lord Reese: “The fact that missiles were fired in and the United States did not come...”
Maajid Nawaz: “That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re saying, are they happy with Trump?”
Lord Reese: “We’re talking about countries that have been on a receiving end of fire because of the instability Trump has brought to the world. That’s the world we’re in.”
True to their globalist nature, the American intelligence community in the form of the alphabet agencies, have been briefing against this deal.
The Times reports 16th June 2026:
“While Vance, along with the US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, is believed to have argued for the agreement in private, Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, and Pete Hegseth, the war secretary, have raised concerns about it, Axios reported. ‘The intelligence reflects that the Iranian intentions are not in line with their commitments under the deal,’ one source told the news outlet, after intelligence agencies supposedly concluded that the way Iranian officials were discussing the deal among themselves was inconsistent with what they were telling the mediators.”
We responded to this development as below.

Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOIR CREED: “Nevertheless, we carry on reading from the Times. Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, and Pete Hegseth, have raised concerns about it, Axios reported. The intelligence reflects that the Iranian intentions are not in line with their commitments under the deal, one source told the news outlet, after intelligence agencies supposedly concluded that the way Iranian officials were discussing the deal among themselves was inconsistent with what they were telling the mediators. So here we have it. Axios reporting from sources in the intelligence community that the intelligence community, in other words, the alphabet agencies of the United States of America, at their head, the CIA, are working to undermine Trump. They always have been. And now that this peace deal has been agreed, again, they’re briefing media that they don’t believe it. The truth is, it’s these intelligence agencies that are the neocon war hawks who have been working with the globalists to undermine Trump in America all along. And they’ve been working in Britain to undermine the soon to be Prime Minister of this country, Nigel Farage. It’s the intelligence communities who are losing what is effectively a civil war within our countries between patriots, those who are anti-war patriots who put their country first and the globalist neocon warmongers, led in particular by the intelligence communities. It was the intelligence communities that started all of this war in the first place. It was they who invaded Iraq. It was they who were convinced our political leadership, back when Iraq was invaded, to do so. So it’s no surprise that the alphabet agencies in America, dominated, controlled and run by globalists as they are, have been briefing media against Trump’s peace. That comes as no surprise whatsoever.”
It is no surprise then that globalist intel asset and Iranian Monarchist Reza Pahlavi also opposed the deal.
The Times reports 16th June 2026:
“Early signs of backlash also included the initial reaction from Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the shah, who told The Times that ‘any deal with this regime will ultimately fail’.“
Though President Trump using his deputy JD Vance (clearly Palantir’s man, but who will do as he is told by President Trump, or else) has set such voices straight.
Click to play:
VP JD Vance: “President Trump never said that his goal was to install Reza Pavlavi to become the new leader of Iran. What he said is, if the Iranian people want to rise up, great. That’s their business. That’s between them and their government. What we want is a cessation of their nuclear program, either through diplomatic means or through military means as he ultimately went down that pathway.”
With the above in mind, it is also unsurprising that the warmongering globalist uniparty in Washington DC also opposed the deal.
The Times reports 16th June 2026:
“In Washington, Democrats demanded immediate publication of the terms. The Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called on Trump to brief Congress. ‘The American people deserve details and full transparency — what exactly is in this ‘understanding’?’ Schumer said. ‘Will service members remain in harm’s way? What have we actually gained here from Trump’s war?’ Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator and ally of the president, struck a note of scepticism. He said he was ‘somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming’ while describing Vance as the ‘architect of the deal’, in a sign Republican hawks could pin any weaknesses on the vice-president.”
4) Israel’s Opposition is Most Volatile
Out of all the factions that oppose the deal, Israel is the most dangerous and volatile.
The Times reports 16th June 2026:
“In Israel, the deal was met with outcry, directed at Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, who was sidelined in the peace talks. Yair Lapid, who will challenge Netanyahu in elections this year, wrote that the deal was shaping up to be ‘one of the most shocking failures in Israel’s foreign and security policy … entirely registered in Netanyahu’s name’. The national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, said: ‘We are not partners to this agreement, which does not safeguard our security’. Netanyahu avoided criticising the deal and called it ‘Trump’s decision’, while claiming Israel had achieved its main goals in the war by eliminating the ‘existential danger’ posed by Tehran. In his first public comments since it was announced, the prime minister insisted his country’s military would remain in Lebanon, Gaza and Syria ‘for as long as necessary’.”
Multiple Israeli opposition leaders have spoken against this deal.
In fact, Israel seems to be the most dangerous faction opposing Trump’s deal, with a former prime minister even suggesting that he’d…
