It’s glaringly obvious that Israel is just there to sabotage every diplomatic avenue the US might take.
And the US is basically getting cuckolded as Israel gets everything it wants and the US just impotently watches and pays for it all.
There’s really no excuse for Israel to be doing this, and they also assassinated negotiators earlier. They really do not want any peace treaty or the US to pull out.
The Iranians know that Trump cannot actually guarantee that Israel will stop doing anything, that Trump has no realistic ability to force Israel to stop, due to basically lets say, his ties to Israeli intelligence cough cough, and his domestic political situation.
... What they almost certainly actually want from the US is a withdrawal from region, cessation between US+GCC<->Iran hostilities, some kind of recognition of some kind of Hormuz tolling set up (they want that as a UN resolution, revenue split with Oman, the idea is the toll would replace demands for reparation payments), and something approximating a pledge of neutrality from the US in the ongoing exchanges between Iran and Israel.
They want the US to effectively bow out and also admit that the Israelis are insane and the US is impotent to stop/control them.
They will of course act outraged and surprised that the US, under Republicans, cannot actually stop its rabid ally... but they obviously already know that to be the case.
The Iranians are literally the most rational actor in this conflict.
They want to essentially be the new ones to cuck the US.
They do that... petrodollar ain't lookin so hot now is it?
Anyway, its important to remember that both the US and Iran have stated that they've agreed to an outline for negotiating a solid, actual deal, with a 14 day ceasefire for those negotiations to actually take place.
Nobody has actually, technically, said that anything other than 'lets stop shooting each other for 14 days and hammer out a deal.'
But, because this is being so heavily propogandized by... basically everyone involved... a whole lot of people are not actually reading what people have actually said.
Apparently its very difficult in the Twitter era, for people to comprehend a complex, conditional, nuanced statement.
Hooray for media literacy, which is downstream of just literal literacy.
Coincidentally, the USA under Democrats built Israel, and continues to finance it to this very day
THOSE DAMN REPUBLICANS STOP COPYING DEMOCRATS
My read on the situation:
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/full-text-iran-national-security-council-statement-ceasefire
There's quite a lot more to it than that, but I've selected here the parts that make it clear that Iran is proposing 14 days of negotiations (potentially more, if the US and Iran agree they want more time) with the US in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The 'surrendered to the will of Iran' type language... they're referencing how they refused negotiations untill the Americans accept their 10 points as a basis for negotiations, how they refused many earlier attempts by the Americans to start such a ceasefire without consideration of all their terms.
They're basically being boastful and literally holier than thou, but thats rhetoric.
They at no point mention Israel being present at or party to the negotiations in Islamabad.
They also quite plainly say that they will continue to fight, if this falls through.
So... nobody has actually agreed to any of Iran's 10 points or the US's 15 points yet.
They've agreed that those sets of points represent acceptable starting conditions for an actual negotiation to begin... and that there should be a ceasefire in effect for the duration of these negotiations, between the US and Iran.
This is how... this kind of thing works. You each start with your sets of demands/conditions, then you work toward something that probably features some of both, some compromises, some concessions of your demands for some concessions of the opponent's demands... then hopefully both sides mutually agree to the deal.
Again they know the US isn't capable of reigning in Israel... they're not stupid, they know Israel will still be attacking them while these negotiations are occuring.
Now, if Iran believes the US has resumed attacking Iran, yeah that could blow this up, but if the US just sits tight, without Trump going insane again, or having another stroke, well, maybe something can be accomplished.
Which puts Trump in a great position because he's apparently getting phonecalls on the daily from the Saudis pressuring him to sort out the Hormuz and the "Iran keeps blowing up oil infrastructure" situation. And since the Saudi's have got a lot of leverage on his family business it's no wonder he's been publicly crashing out. There's even a rumor (so take it with a grain of salt) that some of the Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth funds backing the WB+Paramount deal are considering pulling out; and Trump wants as much media as he can to fall into the hands of his oligarch buddies.
So, appease Israel for political gain with paleoconservatives? Or appease your wealthy business partners? 🤔
ME leaders likely arnt getting the benefits of manipulating trump as much as they hoped by BRIBING him, unlike russia, and israel(who has epstein files krompromat on most US politicians, EU politicians and thier billionaires).
He has to appease Israel as they clearly have the dirt on him. He has to appease the Saudi's or they'll destroy him financially. Haha. Hope he strokes out.
I aint saying shes a gold digger...
But she ain’t messin with no ceasefire
