White House blasts Cruz, Pompeo for trashing Trump peace efforts as Iran appeasement

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While President Donald Trump was burning the midnight oil hammering out a last-minute peace and denuclearization deal with Iran, his White House inner circle was hammering the critics from the right for either working to «undermine» peace efforts or «illegally» abusing residual security clearance.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a Fox News contributor, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, received X criticism from some of Trump’s top inner circle advisors, including White House communications director Steven Cheung, deputy assistant on counterterror Sebastian Gorka and outside political advisor Alex Bruesewitz.
«Mike Pompeo has no idea what the f— he’s talking about,» Cheung wrote in a scathing X post Saturday night. «He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.»
The Pompeo post that drew the ire suggested an impending Trump deal would wind up being an Obama-era-esque capitulation to Iran’s ongoing nuclear weapons aspirations.

«The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world,» Pompeo wrote on X. «Not remotely America First.»
«It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region.
«Overdue. Let’s go.»

Gorka, while confirming nothing from Pompeo’s post, did suggest the former secretary of state might be «illegally» abusing his residual high security clearance.
«You have no knowledge of what is being negotiated in secret,» Gorka wrote on X. «If you did, you would be in possession of information illegally provided to you and which you are wholly unauthorized to have or to share.»
«So are you a liar or a criminal Pompeo?» Gorka asked.
WHY IRAN TALKS ARE IN LIMBO AS TRUMP SCRAMBLES FOR A WAY OUT OF THE WAR HE STARTED
Cruz also received blowback for a post suggesting Trump’s peace efforts would come up short because of releasing «billions of dollars» to the Iranian regime.
«I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran ‘deal,’ being pushed by some voices in the administration,» Cruz wrote Saturday on X. «President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results — including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
«If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant «death to America» — now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
MORNING GLORY: TRUMP SHOULD DEMAND A CLEAR VICTORY OVER IRAN AND REJECT WEAK COMPROMISES
«The details are still coming out — and I pray the early reports are wrong — but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
«President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.»
That drew criticism from one of Trump’s outside political advisors in Bruesewitz.
ISRAEL-IRAN WAR DIVIDES DEMOCRATS, BUT TRUMP’S DIPLOMACY ALSO SPLITTING REPUBLICANS
«Cool, Ted,» Bruesewitz wrote on X, touching off a tit-for-tat exchange with Cruz. «No one asked you, bro.
«Stop trying to undermine the President and his administration.»
Cruz fired back, suggesting Trump’s inner circle might be pushing Obama-era «Iran appeasement.»
DAVID MARCUS: THE MAGA ‘CIVIL WAR’ OVER IRAN IS A MYTH
«Hush, child,» Cruz replied on X. «The adults are talking. I’m not your ‘bro.’ And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.»

While there is some criticism of the Trump White House peace efforts, a noted Senate anti-war voice from the right came out to tell critics to let Trump cook.
«War virtually always ends with negotiations,» Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote Sunday morning on X. «Critics of President Trump’s peace negotiations should give President Trump the space to find an American First solution.»

Anti-G7 protest turns violent as demonstrators torch Tesla and smash UN office windows

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Protesters on Sunday set a Tesla vehicle on fire and smashed windows at a United Nations agency in Geneva as they marched against a Group of Seven summit set to kick off across the border in France, prompting police to fire tear gas.
Around 20,000 people gathered for a march that was initially peaceful before some protesters later damaged what they described as symbols of capitalism and multilateralism, including the parked Tesla and the UN agency.
Demonstrators grabbed bricks from the ground to throw at police, as tear gas was deployed in Geneva’s streets, witnesses told Reuters.

There have been previous protests at G7 gatherings over the years, with many demonstrators using the summits to speak out against capitalism, globalization, climate change and inequality.
Demonstrators in the latest protest said they were marching against the G7 as a symbol of concentrated political and economic power.
This comes after Tesla owner Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire last week.
«To me, it’s a meeting of the rich that shows once again how the rich can become even richer while the poor are left behind,» protestor Pippa Saugy told Reuters.

The G7 summit, scheduled to take place from Monday to Wednesday in Évian-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, will feature the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S., as well as the European Union.
The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are expected to dominate the agenda. Leaders will likely attempt to avoid a clash with U.S. President Donald Trump after he announced a tentative agreement aimed at ending the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
Businesses in Geneva were boarded up and hundreds of riot police were deployed in the streets over concerns about violence.

«This is an attempt to frighten demonstrators, to frighten people and discourage them from coming out to protest,» protester Mattia Piccard told Reuters.
Another demonstrator said she wanted to raise the issue of gender inequality during the march against the G7.
«The values represented by the G7 are completely misogynistic, and they contribute to inequality,» Clélia Colin told the outlet.

El precio del petróleo se desploma tras el anuncio de acuerdo entre EEUU e Irán y el alivio en el estrecho de Ormuz

Los precios del petróleo se desplomaron y las bolsas mundiales registraron fuertes ganancias este lunes después de que Estados Unidos e Irán anunciaran un acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra que enfrentó a ambos países durante los últimos tres meses y que provocó fuertes tensiones en los mercados energéticos internacionales. La noticia también contempla la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz, una de las rutas marítimas más importantes para el comercio mundial de crudo.
Washington y Teherán confirmaron un anuncio previo realizado por Pakistán, que actuó como mediador entre las partes. La firma oficial del acuerdo está prevista para el próximo 19 de junio en Suiza. El entendimiento pone fin a un conflicto que elevó los precios de la energía y reavivó las preocupaciones por un posible repunte de la inflación a escala global.
El estrecho de Ormuz, por donde transita aproximadamente el 20% del suministro mundial de petróleo, permanecía prácticamente cerrado desde que Teherán tomó medidas tras el inicio de las hostilidades el 28 de febrero. El conflicto comenzó después de ataques de Estados Unidos e Israel contra territorio iraní.
El presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, anunció el acuerdo el domingo a través de las redes sociales. “El acuerdo con la República Islámica de Irán ya está completo”, escribió el mandatario al coincidir el anuncio con la celebración de su cumpleaños número 80.
Trump agregó: “Por la presente autorizo plenamente la apertura sin peajes del estrecho de Ormuz y, simultáneamente, autorizo el retiro inmediato del bloqueo naval de Estados Unidos”. Además, expresó: “Barcos del mundo, enciendan sus motores. Que fluya el petróleo”.
Por su parte, el viceministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Irán, Kazem Gharibabadi, sostuvo en una entrevista televisiva que el acuerdo supone un “fin inmediato” de la guerra. El funcionario también informó que las partes mantendrán conversaciones durante los próximos dos meses para alcanzar un “acuerdo final”.
A pesar del anuncio, el contenido específico del pacto aún no fue divulgado. El entendimiento llega después de semanas de negociaciones complejas y de reiteradas advertencias por parte de Washington sobre la posibilidad de nuevos enfrentamientos si no se alcanzaba una solución diplomática.
La reacción de los mercados fue inmediata. Los precios del petróleo registraron fuertes caídas ante la expectativa de una normalización del suministro energético mundial. El crudo estadounidense West Texas Intermediate (WTI) bajó un 5,6% y cotizó en 80,16 dólares por barril, mientras que el Brent del Mar del Norte retrocedió un 4,1% hasta los 83,77 dólares.
Ambos contratos se alejaron así de los máximos superiores a los 110 dólares alcanzados poco después del inicio de la guerra. La caída del petróleo redujo las preocupaciones sobre nuevas presiones inflacionarias que pudieran obligar a los principales bancos centrales a endurecer nuevamente sus políticas monetarias.
La semana pasada, datos sobre un aumento de los precios al consumidor en Estados Unidos durante mayo, junto con un sólido crecimiento del empleo, fortalecieron las expectativas de que la Reserva Federal pudiera elevar las tasas de interés antes de fin de año. Sin embargo, el descenso del crudo modificó parte de esas previsiones.
Las bolsas asiáticas lideraron las ganancias globales. El índice Nikkei de Tokio avanzó un 5,4% hasta los 69.593,64 puntos durante la media sesión, mientras que la plaza de Seúl también registró una subida superior al 5%, impulsada por las compañías tecnológicas y fabricantes de semiconductores.
En el resto de Asia, Shanghái ganó un 1%, Hong Kong avanzó un 0,5% y otros mercados como Sídney, Singapur, Taipéi y Wellington también cerraron en terreno positivo. En Indonesia, Yakarta subió más de un 4%, mientras que la rupia se fortaleció hasta las 17.700 unidades por dólar, su mejor nivel desde finales de mayo.
En los mercados de divisas, el euro avanzó hasta 1,1599 dólares frente a los 1,1577 del cierre del viernes. La libra esterlina también ganó terreno y se ubicó en 1,3438 dólares. Por su parte, el dólar retrocedió ligeramente frente al yen japonés.
