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.

UK Defence Secretary Resigns over Funding - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 12.23pm post the following, " Healey says he has 'no other option' but to resign "

Let's Get Real:

John Healey has done the honourable thing, he says in essence that Starmer promises on Defence cannot be trusted.  Interesting what will Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting say, what will be their policy on Defence, its the 1st duty of Government to defend the Realm, time for Sir Keir to go, his time is up.

Trump stops Iranian strikes at the request of Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.25am post the following, " Trump: Iran asked me to stop bombing - and I will "

Let's Get Real:

Just because a terrorist Regime asks something, it does not mean that you grant their request.  What does the US get out of the deal, at first sight NOTHING, Trump is really a chicken, TACO as the money markets call him.  Who is Trump talking too, Sky Reports that Iranian Media has denied the request came from Iran.   Another strategic mistake by Trump, he is so desperate for a deal, nothing else matters, even the reality of the situation in the Middle East.
