What’s Next for Iran?

/ Jim / Leave a comment

Like many, I’ve been wondering if and when the U.S. (and Israel) will finish this war with Iran. Yes, it is (or at least was) a war and now, for several weeks, there’s been a ceasefire (of sorts) and a least an attempt to negotiate a peace in the region. Everyday, reporters question members of the administration as to the status of the negotiations and well, it’s becoming clear to anyone still paying attention that the Iranians appear to be giving us the finger (or whatever they do in Iran). So why is Trump being so patient with the situation as it stands?

Saving Face

As I write this, the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran that was supposed to end tomorrow, has just been extended by our president, indefinitely because Pakistan, the host for the negotiations, asked for an extension. That’s right, there’s no time limit associated with it and the excuse is that Iran has not made any proposals of their own and the U.S.will give them time to(47 more years, I guess) come up with a response to the U.S. proposals over the kinetic action (not a war) with Iran. This is what’s called saving face.

Letting the Lunatics Take Over

You know there is something desperately wrong in the world when everyone you see online is taking the word of a documented lunatic concerning other online personalities simply because these same people, dislike what is being said by the people. What’s strange is that none of what any have said is anything but the truth: We are in a conflict with Ira because of Israel and Israel told us they were going to attack Iran for their own “final solution” to an acknowledged terrorist state whether we approved it or not. How do I know this is the truth? Our Secretary of State said a much to the entire world, on television, the first day of the adventure.

Wars and Rumors of War?

The Iranians, after just declaring the Hormuz Strait open (like they actually had the power to do that), have now closed the same and threatened to attack any vessel attempting to traverse the strait and in fact, have formed on at least one ship as of this writing. What will be Trump’s response? He’s in a corner (that he placed himself in) and will probably have no other option than to continue the air war on Iran with the possibility of landing troops (something he Sid he wouldn’t do!) on Iranian soil.

Get on With It!

In a recent poll, people were asked of they believed the President Trump had a plan for the Iran conflict. In routing numbers, 91% of democrats, 72% of independents and 19% of republicans polled say that they don’t believe in whatever the plan is that Trump has for Iran right now. sO that means that 81% of republicans say yes, right? That’s good, right? Well, sure, but anyone would expect that just like there are 91% of democrats that don’t believe there’s a clear plan for Iran. If I were a staff member in the White House though, I wouldn’t be bragging about this because 72% of independents don’t believe there’s a plan either. In order to make any headway, or even maintain the slim majorities he has now, the president needs a majority of independents, or at least a heck of a lot more than 28% that believe in whatever the plan is for Iran.
