The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
(NOTE: Relax! We the People may not have even thought of some of this stuff, but the Trump-Vance ‘A’ team is already on top of it.)
1. Trump Warns Iran, Urges ‘Make Middle East Great Again’
President Trump is urging for novel and lasting peace between Israel and Iran, hoping to end the decades of unrest, calling to “make the Middle East great again.”
After years of chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” Iran, is redirecting blame on the U.S.
While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that if Israel’s strikes on Iran stop, then “our responses will also stop,” he pointed his ire on the United States as “a partner in these attacks and must take responsibility.”
President Trump stated:
If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.
Further:
However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!
2. Trump Vetoed an Israeli Plan to Kill Iran’s Supreme Leader
Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.
They said the Israelis reported they had an opportunity to kill the top Iranian leader, but Trump waved them off of the plan.
One of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official, said:
Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership.
When asked about Reuters report, Netanyahu, in an interview on Sunday with Fox News Channel’s Special Report With Bret Baier, said:
There’s so many false reports of conversations that never happened, and I’m not going to get into that.
Further:
But I can tell you, I think that we do what we need to do, we’ll do what we need to do. And I think the United States knows what is good for the United States.
Trump has been holding out hope for a resumption of U.S.-Iranian negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program. Talks that had been scheduled for Sunday in Oman were canceled as a result of the strikes.
3. US State Department Backs Ireland as EU Threatens Legal Action Over Noncompliance with “Hate Speech” Censorship Laws
Ireland is once again at the forefront of a growing battle over free expression, as the European Union threatens legal action if the country fails to implement controversial hate speech laws. The dispute highlights a deepening divide between centralized EU directives and the sovereignty of member states seeking to preserve open discourse.
The European Commission has given the Irish government a two-month deadline to adopt legislation expanding the definition of “hate speech” to include denial or trivialization of certain international crimes, including the Holocaust.
These changes would bring Irish law in line with EU mandates, but they go far beyond Ireland’s existing legal framework under the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989.
Efforts to pass such laws domestically have already been rejected. Last year, the Irish government backed away from its Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill after it failed to garner political support.
Supporters of the EU’s approach argue the laws are necessary to combat racism and hate online. Yet the broad language of the proposed rules has raised serious concerns about censorship and the potential for abuse.
The U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, & Labor weighed in publicly on June 14, having written:
The United States is deeply committed to supporting freedom of expression and national sovereignty. We support the Irish people and our shared commitment to fundamental freedoms.
4. Israel Has Requested the United States to Join Military Operations in Iran
In recent days, the United States has assisted Israel by using its air defense systems and a Navy destroyer to down incoming ballistic missiles launched by Iran.
The Times of Israel reported:
Israel has urged the United States over the past two days to join its newly launched military campaign against Iran, but the U.S. is currently not considering such a move, from Israeli and American officials.
A U.S. official confirmed Israel’s request and said the Trump administration is not currently considering joining the conflict, the report reads.
Israel seeks American assistance primarily to destroy Iran’s underground Fordo uranium enrichment site, which may be beyond Israel’s military capabilities to do alone, says the report.
A senior White House official told Axios:
Whatever happens [with Israel’s strikes on Iran] cannot be prevented…But we have the ability to negotiate a successful peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing. The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program.
Axios reported earlier, citing Israeli officials, that Trump recently told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the U.S. would consider striking the Fordo site if such a move would become necessary to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
5. Musk Activated Starlink in Tehran after Regime Cut Citizens off from Internet Amid Israeli Strikes
The Starlink satellite communications system has been activated in Iran after Tehran cut off internet access to citizens in the wake of Israeli strikes against its nuclear program early Friday morning.

Elon Musk wrote Saturday morning:
The beams are on.
In a statement, the Iranian Communications Ministry on Friday said that due to the situation “temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet,” in effect blocking Iranians from accessing outside news sources during the conflict between Tehran and Jerusalem.
