Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[Pblakeney]

Thought this is the relevant thread than the Donnie one. Part of the "deal" is the enriched uranium being removed from Iran. Not necessarily to the US, but a 3rd country. What's the betting that country is Israel who will then weaponise it against Iran? Shades of Ukraine here.

There has been zero trust (or relations of any sort) between the US and Iran for over 45 years.
That's quite a problem when you have someone like Donnie in charge on one side.

Trūmp and Netanyahu. When sticking with your allies like Iran are and ceasefires including your allies are openly broken clearly agreeing any ceasefire is somewhat meaningless.

Iran will have noticed that for Israel (and increasingly US) "ceasefire" means escalate bombing and killing without constraint.

I think Roland Sm*th is just being friendly. I think that's how it works.

Seems to be a little more activity around the Strait of Hormuz on the various AIS ship tracking sites.

Trump on the verge of approving $300 Billion 'investment' fund for Iran to end the war.

You just know one or all of his extended family will benefit.

Let's see what Netanyahu does.

Probably more.

(No idea if it's already been posted here but anyway ...) Maybe time for Donald Trūmp to take his own advice about Iran from back in Jan 2020. Appears genuine

I think you left a nought off there.

To me the daft thing about US attacks during ceasefire and Israel pretty well ignoring the ceasefire is the issue of trust.

For a peace, trust between parties must play an important part and US having attacked mid negotiations (twice) makes any trust so much harder. Israel's increasing attacks into Lebanon must be making any trust so much harder.

Without trust I'd expect Iran to be after far more extensive steps to reduce what they see as threats 'cos they can't trust US/Israel to keep yo the agreed terms.

Does US really want peace?

No they don’t. The Iranian people and much of Asia are also suffering with their currency. Worse than us I’d say.
This stuff doesn’t just happen by been at loggerheads. Trump and Iran could cut a great deal now but that’s not the plan. Central banks need to do something.

Trump threatened to invade Kharg Island tonight and bombard Iran.
He's since TACOd.
🤷‍♂️
