MORNING GLORY: There is a lot of news, but only one 'story' history will focus on

Even his worst critics will eventually have to admit that President Donald Trump has dominated international and national events since he returned to office five months ago His masterful ambiguity in the third round of the Iran-Israel War is only brilliant History will record it as such You may have attended or watched either the Army s birthday parade or a No Kings rally or perhaps just watched the U S Open on Father s Day but what will history note of the weekend s events That President Trump has controlled the events unfolding in the Middle East and has done so with extraordinary skill ISRAEL S ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN CREATE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN NUCLEAR TALKS EXPERTS SAYThe majority serious analysts in Israel agree For example Amit Segal of Israel s Channel a sort of rare but highly respected combination of anchor reporter and analyst along the lines in the U S of Bret Baier Segal and others believe President Trump gave a green light to Prime Minister Netanyahu to strike Iran in this third round of direct Iran-Israel combat in the past months Iran entered Israel s Long War directly on April and again on October of that year by firing hundreds of missiles and bombs of all types via multiple attempted delivery mechanisms at the civilian population of Israel The Israeli Defense Forces IDF with the assistance of the United States and other allies of the Jewish State intercepted those two waves of attacks and Israel absorbed several damage and loss of life and others injured Israel responded with small but very precise counter-attacks that damaged Iran s air defenses and which sent a message about Israel s capabilities President Biden and his association worked to restrain Israel from additional escalation on both occasions After as Israel reeled Iran began a rush to weaponize its enriched uranium into a nuclear weapon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the order to advance to ongoing planning of this past weekend s strikes shortly after President Trump s sweeping conquest in November and days before the capitulation of Hezbollah to Israel in the Lebanon theater of the Long War in the same week of Trump s triumph But Netanyahu still needed at least tacit approval from President Trump which he received after the expiration of the -day window which Trump had given the Iranian theocracy to engage in serious negotiations over the dismantling of its nuclear weapons scheme Iran tried to play the president and that was a mistake of historic proportions Now stories are flying about Iran s desperate attempt to get the U S to stop Israel s pummeling of the theocratic dictatorship which has ruled Iran since under first Ayatollah Khomeini and now Ayatollah Khamenei Those two dictators are responsible for all the ruin Iran is experiencing now and for the past years Now the aging and obviously incompetent fanatic Khamenei has been allowed to survive to see the destruction of his madness He may not live to see the overthrow of the regime but he might Because Donald Trump recounted him what he had to do and he not only rejected it he repeatedly mocked Trump and threatened the U S Khamenei spent decades and billions building proxy forces in Hezbollah Hamas Syria s Assad regime the Houthis in Yemen and selected militias in Iraq in a vain attempt to intimidate Israel and thus prevent its striking Iran s nuclear facilities openly Khameini is also suspected of trying to assassinate Trump and other American administrators after Trump ordered the elimination of General Qasem Soleimani when this mastermind of Iran s international terror setup landed in Iraq on January on a mission to kill more Americans The Islamic Republic of Iran is directly responsible for the killing wounding and hostage-taking of thousands of Americans since Khomeini overthrew the Shah of Iran in In five months Trump has moved the United States from telling Israel don t attack Rafah in Gaza to go ahead strike Iran They refuse to negotiate in good faith Netanyahu didn t or need or ask a second time And for the first time in the a great number of times Netanyahu has solicited for the encouragement of Israel s military leadership for the strikes the IDF agreed Rise up and strike All this time Trump has maintained a masterful ambiguity about his role It is remarkable and unprecedented A name from long ago Sir John Lawrence should be mentioned here Lawrence was the British governor general and Viceroy of India from - and used the term masterful inactivity to summarize his protocol towards Afghanistan a procedures that became associated with the very long and triumphant tenure of Lord Salisbury as Prime Minister of the Great Britain who served as the top official in the United Kjngdom three times at the height of its Empire retiring at last in Salisbury adopted and used the Lawrence approach again and again Trump may not be up on the details of the Great Powers maneuverings from the late th century but he certainly knows how to play the new Great Tournament in the st century Trump offers to mediate peace everywhere and perpetually He also unfailingly tells our enemies to not kill or wound Americans or they will feel the full force of the American military And he knows as only very experienced real estate developers do when to make offers when to withdraw them or condition them and when to walk away The past days of negotiations between Iranian representatives and Special Envoy Witkoff were a genuine window for Iran to avoid the punishment it is now absorbing from Israel Trump has offered to again dispatch Witkoff and now the U S has much greater leverage for those talks if they resume President Trump is allowing Israel weeks to degrade Iran s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and possibly destroy its ability export lifeline if Tehran continues to target Israeli civilians He has not noted so publicly but he warned Khamenei it could come to blows CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTrump is a master messenger He basically messaged the edge is closed and spoke that into closure He is now messaging the criminal element among the millions of immigrants that crossed the open limit in the Biden years to get out or get arrested He s messaged the Congressional GOP to get the One Big Beautiful Bill H R done and done And he s messaged American pride in its military with the Army s birthday parade which is best understood as part of our country s th birthday celebration which culminates on July Trump lives inside the heads of his opponents The absurdity of the No Kings theater is just the latest example of how the left wing of the Democratic Party not only dominates it but also lacks even a basic grasp of where the majority of the country is politically That majority elected Trump overwhelmingly and overwhelmingly both supports law enforcement at every level of ruling body and condemns political violence whether from the left or the far right Trump's condemnation of the Minnesota killer was quick and complete As someone who has himself at least twice been the target of assassins I expected nothing less Trump has months left as president I hope they are as achieving as his first five months back Hugh Hewitt is a Fox News contributor and host of The Hugh Hewitt Show heard weekday mornings am to am ET on the Salem Radio Architecture and simulcast on Salem News Channel Hugh wakes up America on over affiliates nationwide and on all the streaming platforms where SNC can be seen He is a frequent guest on the Fox News Channel s news roundtable hosted by Bret Baier weekdays at pm ET A son of Ohio and a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School Hewitt has been a Professor of Law at Chapman University s Fowler School of Law since where he teaches Constitutional Law Hewitt launched his eponymous radio show from Los Angeles in Hewitt has frequently appeared on every major national news television infrastructure hosted television shows for PBS and MSNBC written for every major American paper has authored a dozen books and moderated a number of Republican candidate debates most of not long ago the November Republican presidential debate in Miami and four Republican presidential debates in the -
