Shapiro identifies a split inside the Trump administration: Marco Rubio brokered a new Israel-Lebanon deal designed to expel Iranian influence, while a separate faction — reportedly advised by Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute and Sohrab Ahmari — is pursuing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran that Shapiro calls a 'surrender deal.' He quotes both advisors saying the two tracks are mutually contradictory. On the military front, Iran struck a Singaporean-flagged vessel in the Strait of Hormuz; CENTCOM responded with strikes on missile storage and coastal radar sites. Fox's Jennifer Griffin reports Iran reconstituted its air defense and missile systems along the strait since the US bombing campaign ended April 7th. Shapiro outlines three alternatives to the current approach: destroy key Iranian economic infrastructure (Kharg Island, South Pars gas field) and leave; force the strait open militarily; or fund Kurdish and Baloch insurgencies against the regime. Instead, he says, the US caved — agreeing to stand down and meet in Doha — after 'hitting a few camels in the ass.'

Iran used the ceasefire to rebuild the exact air defense and missile systems that US strikes had destroyed. CENTCOM had to bomb Keshem Island and Sirik again — sites already struck before. Every unilateral ceasefire is a gift to the enemy.
