Washington has potentially raised the cost of doing business with Hezbollah by formally tying the group to Iran under U.S. sanctions law. On Thursday, August 20, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) redesignated Hezbollah under Executive Order 13224 for being “owned, controlled, or directed by, or” acting for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF), the guard’s foreign-operations arm. Treasury cited Quds Force coordination of Hezbollah attacks and “deep involvement” in its political decision making. It also sanctioned 10 people it says moved funds for Hezbollah and the IRGC-QF.

Peace becomes impossible when a public culture rewards the sacrifice of children more than the protection of their future.

Dr. Alex Grobman |   Aug 23, 2026

For years, Western leaders have insisted that Islam itself is not the enemy. After September 11, President George W. Bush declared that “Islam is peace” and that terrorists “represent evil and war.” President Barack Obama later told the Muslim world in Cairo that America and Islam “overlap” in principles of justice, progress, tolerance, and human dignity.

Both men were drawing an important distinction. A religion is not the same thing as the political culture that may develop around it, exploit it, or weaponize it.

Israel has been putting up with repeated threats and active support of Arab Hamas butchers of its people originating from Turkey for decades.

Peloni:  This is the war which underlines setbacks on all of the other war fronts facing Israel today, and yet it still lacks a clear strategy.  This will be the greatest challenge facing the next govt, as it was so for the last govt which failed to address it.

Peloni:  The conditional and delayed aspects of this declaration holds a very pregnant pause on yet one more very large and yet to be realized threat against Iran, but the threat to friend and foes of the US is now the greater prize in this current line being drawn in the sand by the US.  In fact, US allies such as Qatar among other would find themselves in the crosshairs of this Economic D-Day if it or when it were ever to materialize, in addition to such peer competitors as China.  So is this latest threat, as large and encompassing as it stands as stated, be understood to be more compelling to Iran than Trump’s multiple, and numerous, threats to rain down hell on them which came to very little when ignored by Iran over the last several months?  Notably, the Iranians appear to be taking this current threat from the US with more concern than previous warnings, but that is because the threat is not just focused on Iran alone.

The real question which remains to be seen is whether Trump truly enforce the policy of “With Us or Against US” which has at its core a much larger paradigm than just dealing Iran a devastating blow.

Peloni:  The AstroTurf campaign supporting Jihadists in the West is as misled as the Western obsession with creating a Jihadist second Palestinian state out of the heartlands of Israel.  While the memes of chickens protesting on behalf of the fox in the henhouse seems innocent enough, the policies which might follow such untethered political campaigns as Gays for Gaza, if successful, could only secure misery, hardships and horror as their end goals.  It is a sad indictment of the failure of the West to secure their education and agencies against the willing intrigues being bought by foreign and enemy forces, and if continued to be left unchecked, these forces will oversee the fall of the West as well as its subjugation to Communist/Islamist forces.

Philadelphia was the site last weekend of a “Naked Bike Ride,” in which “protesters” rode their bicycles through the city stark naked.

What were they protesting? According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the participants painted their bodies with slogans about “immigrants, calling for a freed Palestine, and demanding enhanced bicycle safety measures.”

Peloni:  EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called on Israel to withdraw a tender for 1,234 homes in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, saying the project threatens the prospects of a two-state solution by dividing the West Bank and isolating East Jerusalem. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway and other governments have also criticized the plans.  Israeli officials rejected the pressure. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar defended Jewish residency throughout the Land of Israel, while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel would not accept foreign dictates and described E1 construction as a means of preventing a Palestinian state. The United States did not directly oppose the tender but reiterated its opposition to Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria.  The tender is also facing an internal Israeli legal challenge from Peace Now, Ir Amim, Bimkom and Palestinian Bedouin residents, with the state ordered to respond by September 1.  While the US is not blocking the E1 project moving forward, the hurdle of the High Court still looms in the distance.  This remains the most concerning aspect of this pivotal project being realized.
