New Peace proposal from Iran - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 7.46am post the following, " Iran reveals its demands in latest peace plan sent to US " 

Let's Get Real:

The new Iranian proposal should be rejected by the Trump Oval.  They demands that sanctions should be lifted, that the US leave bases close to Iran, reparations for the WAR, does not mention their nuclear stockpile, release of funds, it goes on this vain.  The TACO President should find his backbone and say NO.  The Democrats and Gulf States would be appalled by such a plan.  What will Trump do, ACT or take another TACO moment.

Iran's response totally unacceptable - Trump

Guardian:  Reports " Trump calls Iran’s response to peace plan ‘totally unacceptable’ as ceasefire frays....Trump expresses ire at Tehran’s reported demands, as drones strike Gulf nations and Israel warns war ‘not over’ "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Tehran was playing the Trump Oval, have they overplayed their hand with Trump.   One has to ask if the bombing will restart, or will the Blockade be given more time.  One can presume that oil prices will go up, thus gas prices will go up in the US before the Mid Terms.  POTUS will not be happy, the War going will be the background to his visit to China.  Thus his Presidential Credibility is in threads.

Iran no longer laughing at the US - Update

Fox News: Reports " Trump blasts Iran for decades of deception, says will no longer be 'laughing' at US "

Let's Get Real:

There is still no word from the White House on the Iranian response to the US peace Plan.  Tehran stated it was transferring its reply through Pakisran.  It does give one the impression that Tehran is playing the US, waiting and waiting till last to give a reply, they know that Trump is weak and the War is unpopular in the US; Trump did not sell the WAR; and Trump wants to go to China with the War solved.  Thus we wait for word.

Bombing campaign “at a much higher level if Iran doesn’t accept terms - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.52pm post the following on a deal between the US and Iran, " If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. " 

Let's Get Real:

This POTUS being good coo/bad cop in one.  On the good side Trump will lift sanctions and there will be talks on Iran's nuclear stockpile, the bad cop is offering increased bombing.  This could be Trump's Munich 1938, Tehran get what it wants and Trump gets a piece of paper. PEACE IN OUR TIME ANYONE! 

Trump does TACO over Convoy in the Strait of Hormuz- Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 12.01am post the following, " Trump: 'Project Freedom' to be paused "

Let's Get Real:

Thus another Trump TACO moment, the US Navy only has had 2 vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, now Trump paused the operation, just because Pakistan asked, does not mean you grant the request.  What has Iran agreed to do, NOTHING, Trump is desperate, he wants out of the War he started, Trump is so weak, its embarrassing for the US and the World.

Iran's new offer to the US - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.21am post the following, " The US has received a new Iranian proposal through Pakistani mediators - which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but postponing nuclear negotiations  " 

Let's Get Real:

As stated Tehran is playing games, they know that the Oval could not agree to the new plan.  The media and the Democrats would have a field day, it would be another TACO moment, Trump they would say started a WAR of choice but could not win it.  Its a ploy by Tehran, endless talks that go nowhere, Trump has to stand tough even against the MAGA base, and keep his VP on the same script, he wants the nomination in 2028.

Iran BLAMES US for failure of talks - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 8.55am post the following, " Araghchi blames US's demands for talks failure as he lands in Russia "

Let's Get Real:

Tehran is playing games, the US has 2 sticking points, Iran hands over its nuclear stockpile or dust as Trump calls it, and allows the free passage in the Strait of Hormuz.  There is the lessee point but still important that Iran stops funding Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.  The ball is in Iran's hands, who is ever leading Iran at the moment.

Trump cancells US Delegation trip to Pakisatan - Update

Fox News: Reports in the following in a recent post, " Trump cancels Witkoff, Kushner trip to Pakistan for US-Iran talks "

Let's Get Real:

Trump is not going to have his delegation snubbed by Iran.  On this POTUS has a point, the US is the sole super power and Trump is the leader of the free world.  No US President would allow Iran to play games, at some point the Trump Oval will let lose the dogs of War on Iran, really hit Iran and force them to Real talks, Iran has to give up its nuclear stockpile and control of the Strait, if Trump wants a win before the Mid Terms.

Iran discuss its Agenda with Pakistan - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 1.02pm post the following, " Iran shared 'views and considerations' with Pakistan on ending war - foreign minister " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus no meeting between the US and Iran in Pakisran.  The Pakistan Government will give Iran's agenda to the US Delegation when it arrives, what was the point of the US Delegation going to Pakistan, at least the US VP did not go, it would be seen as a snub by Iran if they did not meet the VP.  

US Delegation to Pakistan - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.28pm post the following, " US president Donald Trump is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with the Iran’s foreign minister,  " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is desperate to get a deal before the Mid Terms, he knows that Democtrats will use the issue of affordability against him, gas has gone up, the cost of goods in stores.  The War was a choice one, he did not build support for a WAR, there are no Allies with the exception of Israel.  It's Trump's war, one for him to solve.

New US - Iran talks in Pakistan - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.38pm post the following, " Pakistani government expects US-Iran peace talks to resume, source tells Sky News "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the Mexican stand off is OFF for the moment.  ONE assumes the US will send a delegation.  The 2 sticking points are Iran's nuclear stockpile or dust as POTUS calls it, and the Strait of Hormuz.  The first could be sticky, neither side want to compromise, Iran wants enriche its nuclear stockpile to NUKE capacity, while the US wants ZERO enrichment in Iran.  As for the Strait, the Trump Oval cannot compromise, it would be against international law to allow Iran to take it over.  Thus expect tense talks.

Trump does another TACO moment over Pakistan - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.14pm post the following, " Trump announces extension to Iran ceasefire ".

Let's Get Real:

Trump has chickend out again, Iran and the World knows that Trump has a yellow streak.  In his truth social, POTUS stated that the extending the ceasfire came at the request of Pakistan, one would not be shocked if Trump requested that  Islamabad ask for the extension. Trump gives cowardice a bad name, that what happens if you elect a reality TV star for President.  Trump has earned the title, Trump Always Chickens Out.

Iran will TALK with US - Trump-

Guardian: Reports in its 2.57pm post the following, " Trump says Iranian leaders will 'soon be in negotiations' with US "

Let's Get Real:

One presumes that POTUS knows for a fact that the Tehran delegation will turn up in Pakistan, any humiliation climb down should not have the face of the Trump Oval behind it, that is the job of the VP, he wants the nomination in 2028 and Trump's support.  It will depend how poor deal goes down in Washington DC, will the Republicans in the Congress support the deal, even if the US gives concessions to Iran over its nuclear stockpile and the Strait.  The Trump Oval will sell ANY deal as a victory, it choose this war, did not build support for a War or sell it to the American people.

Update: Sky News reports that Pakistan is still waiting for confirmation from Tehran that they are coming to Pakistan for talks.

Update 2: Sky News reports via the New York Times that the US VP's trip to Pakistan is on hold.  This is Tehran being rude to the US and Pakistan.

Iran BREAKS Ceasfire numerous times - Trump

BBC News: Reports in its 12.18pm post the following, " Trump accuses Iran of violating ceasefire 'numerous times'  ".

Let's Get Real:

Thus far neither the US or Iran have flown in to Pakistan for talks.  The American Vice - President can not fly to Pakistan on Speculation that Iran might turn up.  The US is the sole superpower in the World.  Tehran must think they have Trump over the barrel with them having shut down the Strait of Hormuz and Trump thinks he has Iran over the barrel by blockading the Strait to Iranian oil tankers. WHO will blink first? 

US Navy takes Iranian ship in to custody - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.26pm post the following, " US Navy seizes Iranian ship trying to pass naval blockade, Trump says "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump statement is packed up by Force, on top of Trump sending a delegation to Pakistan, the same meeting that Iran has stated its not going too! If it was not so serious it would be a British farce.

US off to Pakistan AGAIN for Talks - Update

BBC News:  Reports in its 1.21pm post the following  " Trump: US team heading to Pakistan for talks with Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This could be it from Trump, take this ďeal or else.   There are only so many times can do a TACO moments, the Iranian's can only hope for so long that the Democrats will come to rescue them, North Vietam had the right instincts about the Congressional Democtrats in 1975.  

Iran tried to blackmail US again -Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.53pm post the following, " They wanted to close up the strait again, as they've been doing for years, they can't blackmail us, Trump stated. " 

Let's Gets Clear.

This was Trump's warning Iran off, Trump comes from the tough World of New York Real estate, all his existence is about the DEAL, one would like to think he has learned something about Foreign Affairs. The dreaded Munich Agreement of 1938, and political ramifications, the War in 1939.  

Trump's Iran Deal - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.43pm post the following, " Trump: Iran's enriched uranium will be brought to the US "

Let's Get Real:

This will be the tricky part in any deal with Iran, the Tehran Regime since the start of the conflict has been firm about Iran's right to have a nuclear stockpile, that is why the US is keeping up its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, it wants a total win.  There is talk that the US will give Iran back 20 billion in frozen Assets.  IN Trump's mind that is not baying the nuclear stockpile, as Obama did with his deal.  A deal is expected in a few days in Pakistan. 

Strait of Hormuz OPEN -'Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " Iran's foreign minister declares Strait of Hormuz 'completely open' for rest of ceasefire "

Let's Get Real:

The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is winning, Iran has its hand on the throat of the Strait, thus winning on Tactical level, but it cannot get its oil out, thus no money for the Regime, thus a strategic win for the US. Trump might not be completely lose cannon when it comes to foreign policy.

Pakistan suggests further talks this week - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its  4.11am post, " Pakistan proposes hosting second round of US-Iran talks - report "

Let's Get Real:

POTUS has suggested that Iran wants further talks, Iran has stated it will freeze enrichment of its nuclear stockpile for 5 years.  This would be a mistake for the US to accept, does any one trust Iran with a nuclear bomb, Israel would see itself under more of a threat.  The Strait of Hormuz is also a problem, it cannot be controlled by Iran, it would be against international law.
