- President Trump announces a cease fire!

“An unconditional surrender”

Segment Topic:
- Shahin, I cannot imagine what you and other members of the NCRI are feeling over the past 12-days.
- Can you tell us what is going on side Iran with the Iranian people? Many of us saw protests in Tehran and more “Death to America” chants. Where are the Iranian people in this war?
- There are reports that tractor trailers were lined up outside the Fordo nuclear facility prior to the U.S. bombing raid on Saturday. In addition, the IAEA says there are 400 kilograms of nuclear material unaccounted for. Has Iran moved enriched uranium and are there hidden nuclear facilities inside Iran – where this material was moved to?
- The cease fire has already been violated and the regime claims they are innocent. Do you fear they are no longer in control of their proxies or can they just blame the proxies when they launch further attacks at Israel and the West?
- In the past, you have indicated that the Baby-Shah is not an option. Over the past 12-days, he has indicated that he is willing to return to Iran and take his fathers seat on an interim basis. What is the NCRI’s response?
- How close are we to a democratic Iran?
Panelist:
Shahin Gobadi
U.S.-educated nuclear engineer, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Iran’s Parliament-in-Exile. Mr. Gobadi is a U.S. educated nuclear engineer.
The president-elect of the NCRI; Mrs. Maryam Rajavi issued a statement on the cease fire:
The proposal for a ceasefire and ending the war is a step forward for the third option: neither war nor appeasement. Let the people of Iran themselves, in the battle of destiny, bring down Khamenei and the dictatorship of (the Persian translation is "guardianship of the jurist" or "rule of the jurist.”
The people of Iran, in their century-long struggle, at tremendous and bloody cost, have repeatedly rejected the dictatorships of both Shah and Sheikh through successive uprisings.
I repeat that we seek a democratic, non-nuclear republic, with the separation of religion and state, gender equality, and also autonomy for Iran’s nationalities. This will bring peace, democracy, human rights, stability, reconstruction, friendship, cooperation, and economic development to the region and the world.”
10:35
Segment Topic:
- How skeptical were you of a cease fire and not an unconditional surrender from the Regime in Tehran?
- You speak often of your time in a bomb shelter, however; earlier today an Iranian rocket Beer-Shiva made a direct hit on an apartment complex bomb shelter killing a family of four. Your response?
- Do you fear that the Regime is no longer in-control of its proxies and can simply blame them for any future attacks on Israel or the United States?
- Jonathan, tell us about the children, homeless due to war. What is Genesis 1-2-3 doing to help them?

Jonathan Feldstein, President: Genesis 1-2-3 Foundation
Host of the “Inspiration from Zion” podcast

Segment Topic:
- The Israeli/Iran War has had an impact on oil prices and now threatens 20% of the world crude oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Oil spiked at $81 dollars a barrel and then plummeted into the $60’s by yesterday afternoon.
- Will China get involved in Iran tries to close the Strait?
- If Israel decides to target Iran’s oil infrastructure, what will China do?
- If the price of oils continue downward, how will this affect exploration and production?
- If oil hovers in the $60’s; is it a good time for President Trump to start refilling our Strategic Reserve?
- Larry Behrens, Power the Future, opinion piece in the Daily Wire: “Running On Empty: How Biden Drained America’s Gas Tank.”
- How is the U.S. doing to rebuild our domestic oil production? Are we close to being at the point where we were during Trump’s first term?
Could New York State lead the way with the first new, nuclear power plant built in this country in over 40-years?
Panelist:
Daniel Turner
Energy expert and founder of Power the Future.
Daniel says: “Iran is trying to use energy as a weapon, but thanks to America’s energy workers we’re producing more oil than ever and in a stronger position to withstand aggression like this. But let’s be clear—our strategic petroleum reserves are still much too low because Joe Biden drained them for political cover. Now that we’re facing international instability, we’re left to face this threat without the additional security of oil reserves. Biden’s legacy continues to weaken us.”

Senior Policy Advisor at the Institute for Energy Research. Caleb is an expert on geopolitics and energy markets.
