The White House on Saturday evening slammed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for attacking President Trump’s Iran deal.

President Trump announced that he’s “largely negotiated” a deal to end the war in Iran, with the final details to be announced shortly.

President Trump made the announcement after he had a conference call with Gulf region leaders.

After the meeting with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, Trump announced that an agreement is now pending finalization between the US, Iran, and the other countries.

Full statement from President Trump:

I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE.

An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed.

Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Pompeo came out swinging and attacked President Trump’s deal – even though the details are still under wraps.

Mike Pompeo said Trump’s deal is out of the Obama-era playbook.

Full statement from Pompeo:

The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world.

Not remotely America First. It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region.

Overdue. Let’s go.

White House Comms Director Steven Cheung blasted Pompeo in a fiery statement.

“Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know,” Steven Cheung said.

Monday, May 25th, is Memorial Day. This is the day to honor our fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.

Historian Mark Noah was on “War Room” with host Steve Bannon to discuss the estimated 80,000 missing American soldier casualties from WWII.

Noah is the founder and executive director of History Flight, which is a 501(c) non-profit. Their mission is “research, recovering and repatriating America’s service members back to United States of America.” These soldiers are considered MIA or considered non-recoverable.

“It’s a little-known fact that 19 percent of America’s WWII casualties are still missing today,” Noah said.

“On the Pacific Island of Tarawa, we did the three largest recoveries of MIAs since WWII in three different mass burial settings,” Noah said.

“People would say that’s impossible. All the remains were either buried in these cemeteries, or the families were given options to bring the remains home. Didn’t we go get all of our honored dead, sir?” Bannon asked.

“Well, that’s the popular conundrum is that people would like to think that everything is neat and tidy and elegant as you happily describe the American cemeteries overseas and the ones that are so well kept in America,” Noah commented.

“The simple fact is 19 percent of America’s WWII casualties are still missing today, and that’s a little over 80,000 people,” Noah said.

“In the setting of Tarawa, the Marines fought an incredibly difficult and strenuous 76 hour battle, in which 75 percent of the engaged units, the 8th, 6th and 2nd regiments of the 2nd Marine division, 75 percent of those individuals were killed, wounded or missing,” Noah explained.

Noah explained that after the island had built infrastructure, it resulted in the loss of about half of the buried soldiers’ locations on the island.

“They lost 50 percent of the known buried on the island and so using that information that we recovered from the National Archives, we conducted a 16-year-long project to recover the missing on the island of Tarawa,” Noah continued.

Noah explained that the CCP’s influence on the Republic of Kiribass has prevented them from continuing their work to recover the remains of American soldiers on the island of Tarawa.

“The Chinese Communist Party is quite entrenched in the Republic of Kiribass and they have sought and successfully been able to deny our work visas from being renewed. So, we haven’t been able to be out doing the work that we have done on Tarawa for the last 16 years for about a year-and-a-half now,” Noah said.

The unsufferable ‘Flotilla Activists’ are back on the news, as usually for all the wrong reasons.

The Globalists around the world protested when images arose of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s controversial video taunting detained ‘Flotilla Activists’.

The band of extremists reportedly had no aid of any sort in their boats that were blocked from advancing by the Israeli authorities.

Some countries, like Spain’s corruption-plagued Socialist government, went as far as summoning the Israeli ambassador to protest.

So, what a ‘surprise’ when some activists arriving from Turkey in Bilbao airport were violently received by police.

Jerusalem Post reported:

“Spanish police arrested four Global Sumud Flotilla activists at Bilbao Airport on Saturday after clashes broke out following the return of members of the Spanish delegation from Turkey, according to Spanish reports and videos circulating online.

Footage from Bilbao Airport, in Spain’s autonomous Basque Country, showed officers dragging activists across the terminal floor and striking them with batons.”

“Israel’s Foreign Ministry seized on the Bilbao footage to strike back at Madrid, demanding an explanation from the Spanish government while accusing the flotilla activists of bringing disorder wherever they go.

‘We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists’, the ministry said. In a separate post on X, the ministry wrote: ‘The flotilla anarchists are driving the Spanish police crazy’.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a deal to end the war with Iran has been “largely negotiated,” signaling what could become one of the most consequential foreign policy developments of his presidency.

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Trump said the final details of the agreement are still being discussed and will be announced shortly. The president described the emerging arrangement as a “Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE,” following calls with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. 

Trump also said a separate call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went “very well.”

The central issue appears to be whether Iran will agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the critical shipping passage that has been at the center of global economic concern throughout the conflict. 

Reuters reported that the proposed framework would unfold in three stages: formally ending the war, resolving the Hormuz crisis and opening a 30-day window for a broader agreement.

That broader agreement would likely focus on Iran’s nuclear program, the biggest sticking point between Washington and Tehran. 

Iran has insisted that nuclear issues are not part of the current negotiations, while Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei described the draft as a framework agreement meant first to end the war. 

He said additional details could be discussed over a “reasonable time span,” between 30 and 60 days, if the framework is reached.

According to Al Mayadeen, a Lebanese pan-Arabist outlet based in Beirut, sources claimed the memorandum could grant a 30-day deadline to reach a nuclear agreement after the framework is signed. 

The outlet also reported that the memorandum could include the release of half of Iran’s frozen funds, amounting to $12 billion, along with measures to facilitate maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Those specific claims have not been confirmed by the Trump administration.

Reuters reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated Trump’s demands, saying Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, the straits must open without tolls, and Tehran must turn over its enriched uranium.

The Strait of Hormuz issue is especially important because international law does not allow Iran to treat the passage as a private toll road or political weapon. 

Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, all ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage through international straits, and that passage “shall not be impeded.” The convention also states that bordering states “shall not hamper transit passage” and that there shall be “no suspension of transit passage.”

That means reopening the Strait of Hormuz cannot simply mean allowing limited shipping under Iranian control, selective permission, or unofficial tolls. A serious agreement would need to restore free, continuous, and unimpeded navigation for commercial and military vessels consistent with international law.

For now, no official text of the deal has been published. Foreign reports have described possible terms, but the Trump administration has not confirmed the details. What is clear is that Trump is attempting to end the war while preserving the threat of overwhelming military force if Iran refuses to comply.

A Venezuelan national with an immigration detainer hold was arrested this month for attempted murder outside of a barbershop in Margate, Florida.

19-year-old Joan Jose Ferrer Azuaje was at the barbershop and had an argument over an unlawful gun deal. This was according to the affidavit regarding his arrest.

The conversation between the parties became heated, and according to a witness, Azuaje opened fire on individuals outside of the barbershop on May 9th.

According to the affidavit, a 10-year-old boy was inside when the gunfire occurred. The boy’s father was hit by the gunfire. A mobile phone kept in his pocket prevented the bullet from entering his leg.

Miami Herald Reported:

A teenager accused of shooting three people at a Margate barbershop was arrested on a plane at Tampa International Airport shortly before he was scheduled to take off for Colombia, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers went to the Dominican Style Barber Shop, 326 S. State Road 7, after a shooting was reported on the night of May 9, the Margate police said in a statement.

Joan Jose Ferrer Azuaje, 19, of Tampa, went to the barbershop that night and was there during an argument stemming from an illegal business deal over a gun, according to an arrest affidavit. The involved parties moved to the rear of the business to continue their conversation.

According to the police, three people were hit by the gunfire and had non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to make a full recovery.

Some of the neighboring businesses were damaged by the gunfire.

After Azuaje was positively identified, police investigators were able to track him down two days later. He was at Tampa International Airport on a flight to Bogota, Colombia. He was captured on the flight while he was in his seat prior to departure. The flight was already taxiing.

Azuaje is being charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of firing a gun into a vehicle with people in it, and other various charges. Even though three people were shot, one decided not to pursue prosecution.

Partial transcript below of news clip.

“Joan Ferrer Azuaje was extradited following his arrest in Hillsboro County. Police say the 19-year-old pulled the trigger earlier this month during an argument at a shopping center,” NBC 6 News Reported.

“The suspect is charged with attempted murder. The shooting happened in the presence of a child, so prosecutors have also charged the suspect with child abuse. He’s also facing an immigration hold,” NBC 6 News Reported.
