From the heart of the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Gary Franchi delivers an explosive first report from inside the International Media Center as global diplomacy teeters on the brink. What was meant to be a week of peace, leadership, and unity has already collapsed under the weight of broken promises and brazen aggression.
Just hours after President Trump announced a hard-won ceasefire between Iran and Israel — ending what he called “The 12 Day War” — Iranian-backed militants fired missiles into Be’er Sheva, striking civilian areas and reigniting tensions across the region. With that one act, the ceasefire crumbled, and the hopes of avoiding broader war unraveled live before the world.
Before departing for The Hague, President Trump unleashed a fury rarely seen. He didn’t hold back. In unscripted moments outside the White House, he condemned both Iran and Israel for recklessly endangering peace, while lashing out at legacy media outlets like CNN for spinning the facts and downplaying the success of the American B-2 strike mission. Trump’s message was clear: peace only comes through strength, and strength only matters when backed by will.
That strategy was reinforced by Stephen Miller in a Fox News segment shortly after the Iranian facilities were bombed. Miller explained that Trump’s actions weren’t just about retaliation — they were about removing a threat the world had ignored for too long.
From there, the tensions only rise.
America’s NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker laid out new expectations from Washington — a bold 5% GDP commitment from allies — making it known that the U.S. is no longer footing the global defense bill alone.
Then came Turkey’s President Erdogan, who delivered a fire-laced speech before boarding his plane, condemning Israel and calling for immediate ceasefire enforcement — not from NATO, but from the nations left standing between war and total collapse.
And as if this summit needed more theater, footage emerged of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky smiling alongside King Charles in a staged pre-summit photo op — even as civilians in Kyiv were under missile attack. Since that moment, Zelensky has arrived in The Hague and begun aggressively pushing NATO leaders to fast-track Ukraine into full alliance membership.
It’s surreal. It’s dangerous. And it’s happening now.
This report takes you inside that moment, behind the spin, through the barricades, and face-to-face with the crumbling illusion of control. From fiery speeches to failed ceasefires, from royal photo ops to strategic ultimatums, the real story is unfolding in real time — and we’re bringing it to you unfiltered.
