Last week, Donald Trump, newly crowned “Daddy” of the world by his fervent supporters, flexed his global dominance by ordering U.S. B-2 stealth bombers to drop 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators—30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs—on Iran’s key nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes, which Trump boasted “completely obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, were a direct slap to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was left reeling in a bunker, cut off from electronic communication to avoid assassination. The operation, dubbed “Midnight Hammer,” showcased Trump’s willingness to wield unmatched U.S. military power, earning him cheers from hawks like House Speaker Mike Johnson and Israeli President Isaac Herzog, while critics like Rep. Thomas Massie decried it as unconstitutional. Trump’s social media taunts, claiming he knew Khamenei’s hiding spot but spared him “for now,” cemented his brash persona as a global enforcer unafraid to “spank” adversaries into submission.

Now, Trump is pivoting to a bold diplomatic gambit, planning a face-to-face meeting with Khamenei to capitalize on Iran’s weakened position. Sources indicate Trump sees the strikes as leverage to force Iran to the negotiating table, demanding “unconditional surrender” or a deal to permanently dismantle its nuclear ambitions. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, has been in contact with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, signaling that the U.S. seeks diplomacy but only on Trump’s terms. The proposed meeting, potentially in a neutral location like Oman or Geneva, is a high-stakes play to reshape the Middle East, with Trump betting that a humiliated Khamenei, facing domestic unrest and a battered military, will bend to avoid further devastation. Yet, Iran’s leadership, including Khamenei’s advisor Ali Akbar Velayati, vows defiance, warning that the U.S. “will not have the last word,” setting the stage for a tense encounter.

The world watches as Trump, reveling in his “Daddy” moniker, prepares to confront a defiant Khamenei, who is under pressure from his own Revolutionary Guard and a restive populace. Trump’s strategy blends showmanship with coercion, aiming to project strength while dangling the prospect of peace to silence MAGA anti-interventionists like Tucker Carlson. However, Khamenei, at 86 and cornered, faces a dilemma: negotiate with the man who just bombed his nation or risk further Israeli and U.S. strikes that could topple his regime. The meeting’s outcome hinges on whether Trump can translate his military “spanking” into a diplomatic win or if Iran’s retaliation—potentially targeting U.S. bases or disrupting the Strait of Hormuz—will escalate the conflict. As Trump himself posted on Truth Social, “Iran must now make peace, or there will be tragedy far greater,” a stark warning that his next move could redefine the global order.
