Just so everyone knows: I have chronic face pain, and reading and retweeting news helps distract myself from the pain. I don’t post my original thoughts much, because dealing with idiotic people from the far left and right that respond just makes my head hurt more...

A ceasefire is only a ceasefire if both sides cease firing. If only one side stops firing and the other keeps doing whatever it wants, it’s just a surrender.

Significant: “April 8 ambush of U.S. diplomats in Baghdad.” That’s an attack by Iran—these militias operate under its direction—targeting U.S. diplomats on the first day of an alleged ceasefire with the U.S.

I hope those advising the U.S. President are making the following points clear: 1. Iran sees itself as having achieved a significant strategic gain. From its perspective, if its terms are not met, there will be no meeting in Islamabad, even at the cost of renewed escalation. 2. Iran is unlikely to reopen the straits without a full ceasefire, which it believes was promised, even under pressure or threats. 3. Tehran has no intention of offering new concessions beyond what has already been discussed with the U.S. It views itself as negotiating from a position of strength, so why concede more? 4. The “Axis of Resistance” operates as an interconnected system. As long as fighting continues in Lebanon, Shiite militias in Iraq and potentially the Houthis, are likely to remain engaged. Iran does not see itself as having been defeated. It did not seek these negotiations, and it is unrealistic to expect concessions at the table if, in its own assessment, it has not conceded on the battlefield.

🚨🛢🚢Trump on Truth Social: Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!

Wow!! Yesterday, during the ceasefire, Iranian-backed PMF militants attempted to ambush US diplomats in Baghdad. It’s unclear what the details are or the result.

How do we know if there has been regime change in Iran? If the survivors who negotiate in Pakistan sing the same “we can keep/enrich uranium” tune as their predecessors, it’s not regime change. If they say they control Hormuz, it’s not regime change. If it’s the same as before, this isn’t over.
