🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump started with 5 objectives and added a 6th. 1. Prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons 2. Destroy Iran’s missile and drone capabilities 3. Neutralise Iran’s military forces 4. Reduce Iran’s regional influence and proxy networks 5. Regime change (implicit objective) 6. Open and secure the Strait of Hormuz None of these objectives were met in full. US then put out 15 points a couple of weeks into the war. 1. Removal of all sanctions on Iran. 2. US assistance in advancing and developing a civilian nuclear project (electricity generation). 3. Removal of the threat of sanctions being reimposed. 4. Iran’s nuclear programme is frozen under a defined framework. 5. Enriched uranium to remain, but under supervision and agreed limits. 6. Missile programme to be addressed at a later stage, with limits on quantity and range. 7. Use of nuclear programmes restricted to civilian/defensive purposes only. 8. Development of existing nuclear capabilities halted. 9. No further expansion of enrichment capabilities. 10. No production of weapons-grade nuclear material on Iranian soil. 11. All enriched material to be handed over to the IAEA within an agreed timeline. 12. Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow to be taken out of use (destroyed). 13. International monitoring and verification mechanisms enforced. 14. Gradual implementation tied to compliance. 15.Additional regional and security understandings between the parties. Iran countered with 10 points: 1. US guarantee of non-aggression. 2. Iran retains control of Strait of Hormuz. 3. Acceptance of Iran's uranium enrichment. 4. Lift all primary US sanctions. 5. Lift all secondary sanctions on foreign entities. 6. End all UN Security Council resolutions on Iran. 7. End all IAEA resolutions on Iran's nuclear program. 8. Compensation for war damages. 9. US withdraw combat forces from region. 10. Ceasefire on all fronts, incl. Israel-Hezbollah. 🇨🇳🇵🇰🇮🇷 The ceasefire was brokered by China, hosted in Pakistan, and met the 10 points requested by Iran. The source is Iran's Supreme National Security Council, via Nour News and IRNA state media (delivered through Pakistan). Trump called it a "workable basis" for negotiations, accepting a 2-week ceasefire on that framework. That’s where we are now. I’ve already given my forecast on where this goes next which has not changed from my forecasts after the 12 day war last June. Expect more drama and setbacks, but nothing stops this train because China and the financial industrial complex want it. The military industrial complex “forever war” model in the middle east will exit and turn to Europe and Latin America as compensation in my opinion. 🇨🇺 All eyes on Cuba as this progresses. 🇱🇧 Lebanon will escalate to de-escalate. 🇪🇺 Russia & Ukraine probably has another 3 years to destroy Europe further into control by the technical industrial complex police & surveillance state.
