Promethean Action PAC puts together another video drawing attention to the connection between pressure on both Hezbollah (Lebanon) and Hamas (Gaza) that is forcing the terrorist networks within both conflict zones to suddenly discuss disarming and a pathway to peace.
Kokinda notes Secretary Bessent’s sanctions and money intercepts against all of the various Iranian financial systems are creating problems for the networks they support. That is leading to unexpected pressure on the terror networks.
“From Camp David, President Trump framed a reported Hamas disarmament agreement as a breakthrough enabled by pressure on Iran, arguing the regional strategic terrain has shifted. The episode highlights two developments presented as unprecedented: Hamas agreeing to disarm and Israel and Lebanon resuming talks after three decades, both attributed to cutting off Iranian funding for proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Kokinda claims the decisive “weapon” was Treasury action under Secretary Scott Bessent—sanctions, OFAC tools, anti–money laundering measures—described as “economic fury,” including designating over 1,000 Iranian-linked individuals, ships, and companies and disrupting routes through shipping, insurance, and offshore finance. The script also points to the February 19, 2026 launch of the multinational “Board of Peace,” tasked with rebuilding Gaza, as a preplanned institutional blueprint that helped secure the Hamas agreement.”

Rule #1 in Military history, pay your troops.
One might be able to get away with not paying the troops for awhile if they are a Washington, as in George, but me thinks there are none of his ilk in that cesspool of a region.
Their view of ‘disarming’ is ridiculous. Totally unacceptable.
Makes even more sense why Bessent was an assassination target at the very onset of his tenure.
Iran is or was the primary hub for the command control of Chaos across several regions, working on behalf of and enable by the Global Corporate Financial Masters.
Hezbollah
Hamas
Somali Pirates
Houthis
Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS
East African Islamic Terrorists killing Christians
Use of lines of communication and transportation owned by Drug Cartels in the Americas (i.e. Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Cuba, Canada and Mexico as well as parts of US thanks to Auto-Pen Immigration).
Control of Poppy Fields and Taliban as well as their associates in Afghanistan
They have become the Cubans of the 21st Century (referring to the use of Cubans by the USSR 1960-90 as their proxies and frontmen).
There is more to this than oil and the straits of Hormuz.
The people in charge of running the Iranian Hub do live in nor operate out of Iran. The crazy zealots in Iran are opportunists who decide to take the risk to move up the local hierarchy for power, glory and MONEY .. as they replace those eliminated in decapitation strikes.
Secretary Bessent has cut their money lines … if only we had an INTEL Community aligned with President Trump that would enable attacks on the real head of the snake hidden outside Iran.
Very interesting. Peace through wealth building instead of theft.
Not just wealth but life as well. Not all those running the terrorist groups yearn for an early meeting with the Virgins at the Oasis. Some actually want time here among the living to enjoy stuff.
Cutting off access to the assets of the Iranian hub creates an uncertainty that may be exploitable.
Bessent was explaining this at the camp David meeting. His report had more impact than anything. He was right. The financial collapse of the Iran systems and their 150% inflation is doing even more damage than our military attacks.
This is brilliant. Thank God President Trump has him.
Disarming for how long? Unless Iran is neutralized the terror networks will just rearm once Iran is free to play its games again.
“Deals” with terrorists are worthless.
I have seen too many agreements over the last 60 years.
They have never been honored.
Post when there is proof that they have been disarmed.
Remember this deal?
Oslo Accords said the PA would have a 12000 man police force. Not an army.
The violation of that agreement occurred in the open
The Palestinian Authority systematically violated the Oslo Accords to build a military force 6x larger than agreed — and why
The PA was limited to 12,000 police with 8,000 weapons — now fields 70,000 armed men in military uniforms.
What is that army for?
PA forces train at a public military academy in Jericho — urban warfare, helicopter assault, artillery
Members are sent to Pakistan for advanced training: RPGs, drones, offensive operations
Convicted terrorists are actively recruited into the “security forces”
8,000 convicted terrorists in PA ranks vs. ~3,000 trained Hamas attackers on October 7th
70-80% of Israel’s civilian population lives within the 22km threat radius
The PA views October 7th as a political “success” — and has every incentive to repeat it.
Always keep in mind Machiavelli observation that Theocracy’s are the most difficult forms of overcoming. Beliefs ignore facts. His solution was implemented in India by the British when they destroyed the Thug’s belief in their invulnerability then isolating the men from the women. The only sure way to defang radical Islam is to confront the Mullahs that the Five Pillars of their faith which they ruthlessly use against their followers to incite terrorism in the rest of the world and subject to destruction if push comes to shove. It would be an act of desperation but Mecca can be wiped from the face of the Earth. That is not the only vulnerability of Islamic Faith falsely promoted by the Mullahs as necessary for people to believe in Allah. The Christian Catholic faith which promoted their invulnerability by asserting priests , bishops, popes, could behave in any sinful manner they wished and still retain secular authority. I’m of the Catholic faith and I thank God for Martin Luther.
Scott Bessent is a brilliant man.
One of his previous employers was George Soros, with that background he knows both sides of the fence.
(disclaimer, this is not an accusation just noting a past employer)
Lately I have been noticing how news items like this one at Promethean Action has been coming to my attention just as my hope gas tank was running on empty.
Just in time before I was about to run out of gas.
I am sure many others have been struggling with a decreased amount of hope in the tank as I.
I don’t think this is a coincidence,
This brings to mind the story about the two sets of foot prints in the sand turning into one
Once again Christ is carrying me.
God is Great.
