Grenell to Newsmax: Trump Strategy Will Win in Iran

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 19 April 2026 10:21 AM EDT

U.S. envoy for special missions Richard Grenell told Newsmax on Sunday that President Donald Trump's negotiating strategy has positioned the United States "on the cusp of a historic, incredible win" in its standoff with Iran.

Speaking on "Wake Up America Weekend," Grenell pointed to Trump's use of pressure-backed diplomacy as the key to shifting the balance after years of policies under previous administrations.

"Look, I think what we're watching is Donald Trump do what Donald Trump does, which is the art of the deal," Grenell said.

"He is one of the best negotiators we've ever seen," he added.

Grenell emphasized that Trump's approach combines diplomacy with credible consequences, including potential military action, sanctions, and economic pressure.

"When he puts out a very credible threat, people know that it's not just a threat, it's actually credible and something could happen," Grenell said.

If you do not negotiate in good faith, if you do not come to an agreement, there will be a very serious consequence behind it," he said.

That leverage, he said, empowers U.S. negotiators at the table.

"Imagine sitting at a table and you're trying to negotiate with Iran … and you can tell them, Look, if we don't come up with an agreement here at this peaceful table, I'm going to have to pick up and transfer this file over to the Pentagon and to the White House," Grenell said.

"Here is your time to negotiate," he said.

Grenell contrasted Trump's strategy with what he described as years of concessions under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

"What we have to remember is that where we are with Iran is that they have always had cash credit and sanctions relief from Presidents Obama and Biden," he said.

"President Trump has completely changed that," Grenell said.

Instead of easing restrictions, Grenell said the Trump administration has tightened economic pressure.

"The sanctions are not being relieved. They're actually in place, and strong credit has dried up," he said.

"Instead of boots on the ground, he's got boats on the water, and boats on the water are actually stopping their ability to collect cash — their economy is in freefall," he said.

Grenell added that the pressure campaign has extended to Iran's leadership structure, though uncertainty remains about who could emerge next.

"When you squeeze them like this and you take out their regime at the top, which has largely been taken out, but we're not sure who's rising yet, as soon as we're able to figure out that portion, we will be able to continue squeezing them," he said.

Despite the complexity of ceasefire and diplomatic negotiations, Grenell said Trump is balancing patience with urgency.

"President Trump will have great patience, but he won't have patience that will last for very long," he said.

"I've been working on this issue for 25 years," Grenell said.

"President Trump is the first one to actually take action rather than just talk, and we are on the cusp of a historic, incredible win for this region that people have been talking about for 25 years," he said.

The issue of our missing or killed scientists is growing more concerning still. While, at first, many wrote these concerns off as just another conspiracy theory, it's looking now like it may be more than that. On Sunday, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Representative James Comer (KY-01) appeared on the Fox & Friends weekend show to express his growing concern.

Trump Just Gave Iran a Big Warning Ahead of the Second Round of Peace Talks

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the Islamic Republic of Iran after the Persian country fired upon numerous vessels crossing through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, despite the Revolutionary Guard Corps granting the ships clearance to move forward.

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 HOLY CRAP, IRAN IS COOKED! 

President Trump just went off and said “No more MR NICE GUY” 

Bridge and power plant day may be coming! 

Trump’s team is now headed to Pakistan 🔥

“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?”

“My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it.”

“I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”

“They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

James Comer to Newsmax: Trump Has All Options on Table With Iran

Options concerning Iran are wide open for President Donald Trump because the country's leaders again have shown "you can’t trust their word," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Sunday.

Appearing on "Wake Up America Weekend," Comer said Iran’s latest actions — including violating a ceasefire and threatening to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz — underscore why the Trump administration is keeping every option on the table as tensions escalate.

"Well, I think everything is on the table," Comer told co-hosts Kenzie Beach and Kyle Lowder.

"Iran has proven, once again, you can’t trust their word when they say there's a ceasefire," he said.

Comer emphasized that Trump entered negotiations with clear-eyed realism about Tehran's track record and has already demonstrated he is prepared to act decisively if necessary.

Rick Scott: Trump Has Authority to Act Against Iran Threats

Despite what Democrat critics claim, President Donald Trump has the right to prevent Iran from killing Americans, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said Sunday.

Speaking in a weekend television interview, Scott forcefully defended Trump's authority to take decisive military action against Iran, pushing back on Democrat accusations that the president is overstepping his powers amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

"Every president has said since Truman that they have the ability to use the military to protect Americans," Scott said.

"So this president has that right, and he’s doing the right thing," he said.

As Spanish Premier Urges China to Take Bigger Role in Global Order, Analysts See Risks

Pedro Sánchez’s rhetoric doesn’t represent the entire EU but a dangerous trend within it, analysts say.

In his recent visit to Beijing, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urged the Chinese communist regime to play a bigger role in global issues such as security, inequality, and climate action.

Analysts told The Epoch Times that although Sánchez’s call doesn’t represent the European Union’s stance, it does represent a dangerous trend in Europe.

Visiting China from April 11 to April 15, Sánchez gave a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing, calling upon the Chinese regime to assume more substantial global leadership responsibilities.

“Europe will also have to redouble its efforts, especially now that the United States has decided to withdraw from many of these fronts,” he said.

Holt to Newsmax: Iran's Strait of Hormuz Closure Claims Show 'Failing Regime'

VIDEO

By Jim Thomas | Saturday, 18 April 2026 12:54 PM EDT


Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt told Newsmax on Saturday that Iran's declarations that the Strait of Hormuz is closed amount to posturing by a collapsing regime, even as commercial vessels continue to transit the waterway under tighter conditions.

His comments on "America Right Now" came after reports that Iranian gunboats fired on tankers in the strait and that Tehran had again declared the waterway closed to traffic in response to a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. 

Holt said maritime tracking data he was monitoring during the interview showed vessels still moving through the strait, though not at normal volumes.

He attributed the slower pace to insurance concerns and precautions against potential mining, rather than to any effective Iranian blockade.

"Well, I can say that the Pacific Ocean is closed. I could do that from right here in Idaho. But if I don't have a Navy, if I don't have the means to close the Pacific Ocean, then I don't think they'd listen to me for very long," Holt said, drawing a parallel to Iran's closure claim.

Dick Morris to Newsmax: Trump Is the New OPEC Now

By James Morley III | Saturday, 18 April 2026 04:56 PM EDT


On Newsmax’s "Saturday Report," political strategist Dick Morris dismissed Iran’s claim that it controls the Strait of Hormuz, arguing instead that “the U.S. has control of the Straits, and at any point they need to exercise it if they can.”

Morris framed the situation as the culmination of a major shift in global energy power driven by U.S. oil production.

"The world produces 100 million barrels of oil a day," he said, noting that U.S. output had once fallen to "only 4 million barrels out of the 100 million," allowing OPEC to dominate and declare, "your trade is insignificant."

That dynamic, he argued, has now reversed.

"About two weeks ago, [President Donald] Trump increased American oil exports to 14 million barrels a day, completely wiping out everybody else," Morris said, adding that "what Trump basically said was, ‘I am the new OPEC. I will decide who gets to export what to whom, when and where.'" 

According to Morris, Iran initially resisted that shift, "Iran said to hell with you. We don’t recognize it," but changed course after the threat of a U.S. embargo.

"Trump said, 'I’ll impose a total embargo and nobody will be able to get any oil in,'" he explained, prompting Iran to "basically back down."

While Tehran has not formally conceded, Morris suggested the outcome is inevitable.

"They haven’t conceded it completely diplomatically, but it’s on the way," he said, calling it "the most amazing triumph you can imagine for Donald Trump."

Looking ahead, Morris predicted a decisive resolution: "In a few days, Iran is going to officially surrender and the U.S. will control it," he said, adding that "the U.S. Navy will basically be the blockade enforcer" in what he described as a "permanent situation."
