The so-called "Pakistani" truce proposal is awfully similar to the Minsk agreement trap that ultimately fueled a larger conflict in Ukraine. Just as Ukraine used Minsk to regroup and rearm, Trump is likely to use this "Pakistani" (effectively his own) proposal to do the same.


The Israeli/US murder of Kharazi at his house along with his wife was truly despicable act—killing a reformist diplomat who served an FM for Khatami and helped develop his “Concert of Civilizations” idea and was reportedly helping mediate the current situation.


Infuriating details about attack in Kuwait that killed 6 U.S. troops: -Unit was relocated *closer* to Iran -Post was “not a fortified position” -Post a “known target” to Iran, per intel -SecWar claim “that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood” -Tragedy was preventable cbsnews.com/amp/news/iran-…

There is good reason to worry about the safety of our negotiators in Pakistan. The country is armed and dangerous and the government is not fully in control. Previous high level visits were short and they involved decoy aircraft, as when then-President Clinton surreptitiously changed airplanes so no one would know which one he was on. The USSS did not like President Bush going there in 2006. The Secret Service will be tested this trip. So too will the military that supports this mission. Pray for the safety of our negotiators, including the VP, and for their success.

That means that South Korea will end up removing sanctions on Iran and, in exchange, will be allowed to pay Iran for the privilege of letting South Korea receive oil and gas shipments. After SK does this, many others will follow the same exact process. But they'll also have to unfreeze Iranian assets. The Americans' options are terrible. If they resume the war, what energy infrastructure is left will be destroyed, and, even in twenty years, they won't win. And if the Americans accept this, there's little to no point in them remaining in the Gulf. Their presence would be a sign of their humiliation. And their exit would make Iran more powerful still.

Arnab Goswami becoming an overnight hero in Iran 🇮🇷 for his Trump bashing wasn’t something i ever expected to witness. Crazy times, this video is viral across Iran
