CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 9, 2026
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ANNOUNCEMENT OF A CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN AND THE LIKELY RE-OPENING OF THE STRAIT OF HURMUZ IS WELCOME TO SAY THE LEAST. LET’S HOPE ANY AGREEMENT MADE WITH WHOEVER IS RUNNING IRAN STICKS AND THEY WON’T KEEP TRYING TO BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THEY HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED IN THAT EFFORT BY RUSSIA AND CHINA.
THE FANATICAL REGIME DOESN’T CARE ABOUT NORMS OR KEEPING PROMISES. TIME AFTER TIME THEY HAVE PROKEN PROMISS AND AGREEMENTS. WILL THEY KEEP THIS ONE IN VIEW OF PROMISES OF MORE BOMBING BY THE U.S. AND ISRAEL IF THEY DON’T? WE’LL SEE BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THEIR GOD WANTS THEM TO KILL JEWS, AMERICANS AND EVEN FELLOW MUSLIMS WHO DISAGREE WITH THEM ABOUT IMPOSING SHARIA LAW ON THE WORLD. YOU DON’T REVERSE YOURSELF ON A SERIOUS THEOLOGICAL BELIEF BECAUSE THE INFIDELS THREATEN YOU.
AT THE LEAST WE MUST DEMAND REGULAR INSPECTIONS IN IRAN BY THE IAEA. WE HAD THEM BEFORE BUT THE IRANIANS THREW THEM OUT. I HOPE THIS AGREEMENT STICKS, THAT GAS PRICES COME DOWN AND THE PRESIDENT – AND REPUBLICANS IN NOVEMBER — GETS THE BENEFIT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
