Deal Close - Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.00pm post the following, " Peace deal has 'never been closer', Iranian foreign minister says  "

Let's Get Real:

The Iranian Government could be one faction in Iran, even if it was reported that the President offered to resign as the government was being shut out of talks.  The hardliners would be the Revolutionary Guard, who want to play hardball with the Americans, it depends who Trump has been talking too, the Doves or the Hawks.  Thus we await more confirmation about the deal from the US and Iran, is the Supreme Leader still alive and active in the talks!  Trump's Presidential Credibility has been shattered by the War of his making.

Update: Sky News reports in its 6.23pm post that,   The Memorandum of Understanding states that the ceasefire will be extended by 60 days.  There will be free access through the Strait of Hormuz, the US will lift the Blockade.   The Iranian nuclear stockpile will be destroyed in Iran and taken out of the Country.  The Tehran Government will only gain gaine benefits back if they follow through on the agreement.  Lets see how this works out, will the US Navy stay AROUND to enforce the deal when Tehran breaks it and they will, to miss quote Reagan, Don't trust and verify, a terrorist Regime cannot be trusted.

Trump CRITICAL of Tehran Regime - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump blasts Iranian media reports, says country must ‘get its act together’  "

Let's Get Real:

Thus we are back to were we started, a very confused world.  One can take the view that Iran is trying to sell the deal to its own people, by lying about the Memorandum of Understanding, or another view that the factions in Tehran are trying to get the upper hand with nominal Supreme Leader under the control of one of the factions.  On D.C front Trump does not want to be seen as an appeaser, what is the TRUTH, God Knows!

US will have no control of the Strait of Hormuz- Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.49pm post the following, " Tehran would not cede control of Hormuz in deal with US, Iran state media report "

Let's Get Real:

This could be the truth or the Tehran is showing it is strong when faced by the US.  Thus far no official copy of the Memorandum of Understanding, has Trump made concessions that will upset the Hawks in the Republican Party, will the Memorandum be seen as Appeasement, very much like Neville Chamberlain in Munich in 1938.  The matter of Iran's nuclear stockpile is a concern, what does the Memorandum say about that, has Iran even official said yes to the Memorandum, are they plating games?

Starmer will not resign - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.21pm post the following, " Starmer says it is his duty to carry on as PM " 

Let's Get Real:

Politicians never learn when their time is Up, Lady T served to long, Sir Tony Blair kept Brown waiting for years, Starmer has lost the trust of the people.  The latest crisis over Defence spending shows that Starmer is not up to the job.  The question is will Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting be any better, will Putin wait before taking action.

US - Iran Deal to be signed in Europe - Trump

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump says Iran deal is nearly complete and could be signed in Europ within days 

Let's Get Real:

Why is Trump not attending, does he have doubts about the DEAL, he does not want his fingerprints on the document, is he afraid of another Munich 1938, there is no way in hell that the Theocracy in Iran is giving up its nuclear stockpile or dust as called by Trump.  It was a redline for the theocracy in Tehran.  DOES Trump wants his VP to take the blame if the Deal falls apart and it will in time.  PEACE IN OUR TIME - Neville Chamberlain, after Munich 1938.

Trump cancels strikes on Iran, Deal Close - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 6.32pm post the following, " Trump cancels strikes as he says deal to be signed shortly "

Let's Get Real:

Trump is a chicken, the TACO nickname is well earned, Trum Always Chickens Out.  The World has heard that a deal was close for weeks, if true, why NOW.  Is the Tehran Regime, playing the US for suckers, could be, what concessions has Trump given?  Trump is really Neville Chamberlain of the 21st Century.  A win for Iran, they will never give up their nuclear stockpile now.

US to bomb Iran and take Kharg Island - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 1.37pm post the following, " Trump threatens to attack Iran 'very hard tonight' and seize Kharg Island "

Let's Get Real:

I wish someone would tell Trump about operational security, you don't tell the enemy your coming.  The taking of Kharg Island would take ground troops, Iran could place troops there, one assumes they have already placed mines on the Island.  One would take Trump more seriously if he did take Kharg, its the tap for Iranian oil.  Lets see if Trump is less than a chicken, one is not holding one's breath.
