The idea that one can reason with an unreformable terrorist regime—a regime that has tortured, murdered, and suppressed its own citizens since its inception while blanketing the Middle East in terror and chaos—is not just naïve; it’s dangerously absurd. It was the Iranian regime that specifically requested Steven Witkoff for negotiations—a weak, compromised figure already manipulated by Qatar, whose track record with Putin leaves much to be desired. Hiring friends is bad business; Trump, of all people, should know that. After a series of humiliating defeats—including the decimation of its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, while Israel continues to dismantle its remaining asset, the Houthis in Yemen—the Ayatollah regime is terrified and teetering on collapse. Khamenei knows that to maintain his imperialist grip and fulfill his apocalyptic vision—centered on the return of the Shia Imam Mahdi—he must acquire nuclear weapons. With his regional militias in ruins and the Abraham Accords regaining momentum, nuclear capability has become his last card. But if nuclear arms were to fall into the hands of apocalyptic zealots like those ruling Iran, the doctrine of mutually assured destruction would cease to function. You cannot negotiate with a death cult obsessed with ushering in global Sharia law and the return of a messianic figure riding in on Judgment Day. This is not merely a geopolitical threat. We are facing a theological machine with no off switch, no internal mechanism for moral recalibration, and no capacity for reform. Offering them a lifeline now won’t foster peace. It will cost countless more Iranian lives and allow the regime to regroup—preparing for their next October 7 and another 9/11. #NoDealWithKhamenei
