The Iran MOU is barely signed at Versailles and the knives are already out. Senate Republicans who were "gung-ho about starting this thing" — as JD Vance put it — are now lining up to kill the deal in the public sphere. Cassidy calls it the "worst foreign policy blunder in decades." Cruz says Trump is getting "bad advice." The childless senator from South Carolina who has never seen a war he isn't happy to send other's sons & daughters off to die for, Lindsey Graham compares it to Obama's JCPOA. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies wants to restart the war. National Review is dusting off the 1930's era Chamberlain comparisons.

Meanwhile, 'our greatest ally' Israel — not a party to the negotiations — launched new strikes on Beirut timed to derail the Switzerland signing, and the Bürgenstock talks have now been postponed.

Iran is signaling it may withdraw from the MOU entirely if the Lebanon escalation doesn't stop.

Mike sits down with J. Arthur Bloom — managing editor of Modern Age, former editor of The American Conservative — to trace the Straussian intellectual roots of the neoconservative project and why peace is the one outcome the Death Cult cannot tolerate. From Leo Strauss to Bill Kristol to the Senate floor in 2026, the pattern is the same: permanent war dressed up as moral seriousness.
