The next elected leaders of Israel will not be less genocidal than Netanyahu. This state has been irreconcilably radicalized and must be dealt with as such.

No more asking Israel what to do. The next American president will be giving orders, not taking them.

@UnboundedVoice @BrettErickson28 The MOU was all BS. Israel and its staunch supporters in Trump’s orbit are pulling the strings behind the scene.

@borzou The man-child has to be the center of everything regardless and his obsession with awards and trophies are probably flaring up.

@JoshClimbsTrees @CENTCOM Typical American mentality that killing people in other countries & destroying their countries is the norm because that’s all they know as US has always been the bully & aggressor. There are casualties in a war of choice. Nuke these muzz rats????

Iranian channels report that Qatar has submitted a new ceasefire proposal to both Tehran and Washington.

- According to initial details, it calls for an end to the war and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control for a 10 day period.

- No official confirmation yet.

The U.S. is deploying additional F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, along with aerial refueling aircraft, to the Middle East, according to U.S. officials.

The move, ordered before Iran's recent attack in Jordan that killed two U.S. soldiers, comes as tensions with Iran continue to escalate.

Some of the additional aircraft may be stationed at Israeli Air Force bases, according to an Israeli military official.

🎥 Crisis Group’s Ali Vaez asked why Iran would “sacrifice” a supposedly generous U.S. deal over control of the Strait of Hormuz, including a southern corridor handling at best 20% of traffic. Vali Nasr rejected the premise, arguing Tehran concluded early that Washington never intended to honor the MOU and was using it to catch its breath before another war.

Nasr said Iran had expected another Israeli/U.S. round by October. Instead, it came much sooner. He identified four signals that convinced Tehran the MOU was never going to be implemented:

1️⃣ No money arrived. No frozen Iranian funds were released. Nasr said one person told him that if chief negotiator Qalibaf had returned from Doha with even $1 billion, “the conversation in Iran would have been very different.” Two months of oil waivers do little to change Iran’s economic position.

2️⃣ Lebanon showed Tehran the U.S. would not honor what it signed. Nasr said Washington agreed to provisions on Lebanon in the MOU, then almost immediately helped create conditions for Israel to operate there with the Lebanese government’s approval, effectively stripping Iran of leverage.

3️⃣ The U.S. began rebuilding for war immediately after signing. Military assets poured into the region in a pattern Tehran recognized from the buildup before February. Nasr said the rhetoric around diplomacy was simply not matched by what Iran was seeing militarily.

4️⃣ Washington began “whittling down” Iran’s control of Hormuz. Nasr stressed two separate moves: the U.S. encouraged tankers not to coordinate with Iran at all, then pushed them toward the southern channel. Iran drew the line. Washington responded with a massive escalation, targeting missile and drone batteries in an effort to take control of the strait out of its hands.

🔸Vali Nasr’s key point: Iran does not see this as a choice between economic benefits and Hormuz. In Tehran’s view, there were no economic benefits to “sacrifice” because Washington was never going to deliver them. And without control of Hormuz, Iran believes it has no leverage to force the U.S. to implement any future deal.

As Nasr put it, control of the strait gives Iran a “sword of Damocles over the head of the global economy” that Tehran sees as “essential” to getting anything from Washington.

It’s very craży that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline BUT we're allowing them to run our ENTIRE country.

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

This is what the Hawks and Lobby are now once again pushing. Fantasies. Delusions.

How can one still seriously believe the people are going to rise up and topple the regime? Why?

We just killed 168 children in this war. We threatened to wipe out their entire civilization. We’re bombing their water infrastructure. Bombing their economic infrastructure. Their civilian infrastructure.

President Trump must realize that this is a sign that the Hawks and Lobby are entirely desperate. They don’t have a strategy. They don’t have a solution.

They’re merely parroting the same Western propaganda that led to this disastrous outcome in the first place.

“To achieve an end to Tehran's current regime, the Trump administration needs to focus on the one element that has largely been absent since the latest round of fighting broke out at the end of February: the Iranian people themselves.”
