[[[ Something to think about…the reason Russia still has not won against Ukraine is because Putin still thinks he has the might of the old Soviet Union…he does not. The reason we have not yet won in Iran is because Trump still thinks ‘The Art of the Deal’ easily translates into ‘The Art of Wars Won’..it does not. ]]]

Iran rejects latest cease-fire proposal as Trump considers ‘massive attack’: report

Victor Nava / NEW YORK POST  

Iran reportedly rejected a new cease-fire deal Thursday that was presented by Iraq’s prime minister on behalf of President Trump. 

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi – fresh off a White House visit and Oval Office meeting with Trump – brought the proposed deal with him to Tehran and presented it to top Iranian officials, who refused to entertain the proposal, according to the New York Times. 

The terms of the rejected truce are unclear, but Iranian officials described it as the “only offer on the table” and a “temporary deal” that did not resolve the question of who would control the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet reported. 

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Tehran’s lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were among those who met with al-Zaidi and Iraq’s delegation.

Trump says Saudi nuclear pact requires kingdom to normalize Israel relations through Abraham Accords

In a post on social media, the Republican president said the deal doesn’t allow for enrichment of uranium. Nonproliferation experts have raised concerns that the deal fails to include guardrails to prevent enrichment of uranium to weapons-grade levels.

Trump’s post said the agreement “will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords.” He added that “The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities.”

The Saudis have made clear that normalizing relations with Israel would first require the establishment of a clear path for Palestinian statehood. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the idea of Palestinian statehood as being untenable for his country’s security.

The Saudi Embassy in Washington on Thursday declined to comment on Trump’s assertion that the deal will require the kingdom to join the accords.

[[[ As Trump continues to foolishly publicize our next military moves against Iran...and I do NOT believe it's a diversion tactic as some so love to claim...it becomes more and more apparent that he simply does NOT know when to shut his mouth, and that it will be Israel who finishes this war for us. My opinion and I stand by it. ]]]

[[[ Just to let some who criticize my stance on how Trump is handling this war, please know I've been in this fight against radical islam since soon after 9/11...I'm no newbie to the understanding of whom and what we are really fighting against. 

 

The first thing I learned was that the word 'surrender' only appears in islam in regards to faith...'surrender' to the faith of islam that is. And when one's reality is locked into that must be accepted concept alone, those who are now our enemy will willingly fight to the death even if it means the lives of their own people are to be forfeited.

 

The regime is indeed playing President Trump because they know he does NOT understand islam nor the islamic mindset, and they are using that to their advantage even while we go "boom" and "flex military muscle" here and there for they are doing what their faith commands them do...die instead of even considering surrendering.

 

Simply, this war lingers on, because President Trump does not yet grasp how hard it is to win a war against a mindset so alien to us that the realities of war from our end are being made to the best of our western mindset ability. We should be trying to understand the mindset, actions, and consequences of how this enemy thinks and operates. Until that happens I truly believe this war will linger on well past the midterms which is what Iran probably has wanted all along, and for what should be obvious reasons. ]]]
