BBC News: Reports in its 11.09am post the following, " Air strike shown hitting tower block in Tyre "
Let's Get Real:
Thus after the shortest ceasefire ever, Israel is hitting Hezbollah in Lebanon, what will Iran do know, will the Trump Oval demand that Jerusalem ceases action, will Tehran place pressure on D.C to act or no Memorandum of Understanding. The Middle East is never quiet!
Guardian: Reports in its 2.33pm post the following, " Iran says no peace talks with US until Israeli operations cease "
Let's Get Real:
Thus we come to the escalation trap as mentioned in the last post, does Trump throw Israel under the bus and order that they leave Lebanon or does he resume attacks. The last thing Trump wants is to be seen as a LOSER, he needs to support Israel or the Hawks on the Republican side in the US Congress will savage him in public, even the Democrats would attack him. Time for Trump to find his inner Reagan and stand up to Iran their threats.
Sky News: Reports in its 12.49pm post the following, " Iran 'will leave no act of aggression unanswered' after US launches fresh strikes "
Let's Get Real:
Iran should know terrorism, its the chief exporter of terror in the Middle East and around the World. It was behind the US Marine Barracks bombing in Lebanon in 1983, and other crimes around the world. The US action was a matter of self defence, Iranian actions are threat to ships passing in the Strait of Hormuz, the US action was against threats to the US Navy and its troops. The ceasfire is still on, we are waiting to see if Iran and the US sign a memorandum of Understanding as to close the war.
Sky News: Reports in its 5.02pm post the following, " Trump says he'll crash Iran economy 'because I want to win' "
Let's Get Real:
POTUS means it, the Iranian economy is FREE FALL already, inflation is in nightmare dreams in the West. The Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is blocking Iran from selling its oil, thus funding the State and allowing Iran to fun Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Trump wants people out on the Streets, calling for the downfall of the Tehran Regime.
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.
BBC News: Reports in its 11.02pm post the following, " Lebanon tells BBC it will take part in talks with Israel if ceasefire in place "
Let's Get Real:
Thus another hindrance before talks start in Pakistan. Thus Oval will have to talk to Jerusalem, get them to agree to a ceasefire with Lebanon and stop the bombing, as along as Hezbollah also agree to stop bombing Northen Israel. The talks start on Saturday, we shall see if they are successful or fail.
Fox News: Reports in the following post, " Israel agrees to talks with Lebanon on Hezbollah "
Let's Get Real:
One would not be shocked if this is idea of Trump Oval, ceasefire talks in Pakistan could fall apart anyway, they have different agendas and thus the prospects are not great. Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is a side issue in the view of POTUS. Thus not hard to place pressure on Israel when it comes to this subject. IT would be Rude for Israel to bomb Lebanon and very Un-diplomatic when in talks. Thus no bombing one can presume as long as Hezbollah does not bomb Israel.
Update: CNN and BBC News reports that Israel is bombing Lebanon again and targeting Hezbollah, what will Hezbollah do and more importantly Iran! Bombing and Diplomacy, interesting.
Sky News: Reports in its 1.15pm post the following, " Iran's president warns more Israeli strikes on Lebanon will 'render negotiations meaningless "
Let's Get Real:
The President of Iran in normal days would not have much power. The power is centered on the Supreme Leader, the new Leader is in a coma or dead. Thus no one for sure knows who leads Iran at the moment. The Theocracy placed power in many areas if the Supreme Leader is killed, thus we shall who turns up in Pakistan for ceasefire talks, Moderate by Iranian standards or a hard liner, and can they make decisions or do they have to go back Tehran for an answer. Israel action in Lebanon could break the ceasefire, as Israel and the US have stated, Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire deal.
BBC News: Reports in its 4.57am post the following, " Trump says US forces to stay 'in place' until 'REAL AGREEMENT' complied with "
Let's Get Real:
This is a threat from Trump, US Armed Forces are loaded and ready to shoot. The ceasefire is still on so far, Europe wants appease Iran, no great shock, the UK FCO is in full Appeasement mode, have they learned nothing from the 1930s and the Appeasement of Nazi Germany. Israel and the US have made it clear that the war in Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire deal. Thus we wait to see what Iran does now.
Guardian: Reports in its 3.30pm post the following, " Iranian navy threatens ships in strait of Hormuz without permission "
Let's Get Real:
This is a very fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran. On the one hand you have Israel attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon, and you have Tehran confirming that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is still on going, against the ceasefire deal. Will this ceasefire hold, it has to be asked.
Sky News: Reports in its 3.23pm post the following, " Tehran will withdraw from ceasefire if attacks on Lebanon continue - Iranian state media "
Let's Get Real:
This will be hard one for Trump to deal with, Israel has made it clear that its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon is separate. LAST YEAR, Trump ordered Israel planes back while they were in mid flight. Does he have the same power now. The CEASFIRE between the US and Iran is fragile, also the Israeli lobby is powerful in the US, can the Oval blackmail Israel this time? The post is an interesting development!
Update: Reports from the Guardian that President Trump has stated that Lebanon was not part of Ceasefire deal. The President must be thinking of the November Mid Terms. This statement means that Trump cannot pressure Israel to stop bombing Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Guardian: Reports in its 10.01pm post the following, " Benjamin Netanyahu announced an expansion of Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon as his forces target Hezbollah. "
Let's Get Real:
Israel has to take Southern Lebanon as the Iran Terror linked Hezbollah uses the South as a location to fire missiles at Israel, Jerusalem should not be put off by Western reaction, they do not faced being bombed daily. Israel can mend fences later, as long as they are supported by the USA, they can do what they like in the Middle East.
BBC News: Reports in its 10.44am post the following, " Houthis launch strike on Israel as Iran war enters second month - a recap "
Let's Get Real:
THIS opens the War on the Western front, puts the Suez Canal in play, Iran can block the Strait of Hormuz, and the Houthis can attack in the Med, leading to the Suez Canal. That would cause a recession/depression to the Western economy, governments would feel the wrath of voters, due to food and petrol inflation. Trump could have opened a evil Pandora box, did he have a choice is the question.
Update: BBC News reports 2nd missile fired from the Houthis towards Israel.
Guardian: Reports in its 2.21pm post the following, " Israel says thousands of targets remain as Iran urges others to avoid war "
Let's Get Real:
Israel will not give up, it has Iran on the robes, Hezbollah on the run Lebanon. This is the time to kill off the threat to Israel, Jerusalem has faced threat for years from Beirut under control of HEZBOLLAH, in Yemen with its terrorists supported by Iran. The Theocracy in Iran has used Terror in the Region, Iraq with US faced terrorism for years. The US has a President who is not afraid to take action, the problem with Trump he is erratic, might declare victory tomorrow with the job half done. The War goes on, the US and Israel have to win.
Sky News: Reports in its 12.28pm post thar another US Soldier has been killed.
Let's Get Real:
President Trump has been honest about this, there will be casualties, a lot more. WAR is hell, there have been friendly fire incidents, 6 piolts had to bail out, they are secure the US Defence Department has stared. Israel has attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon after they fired at Israel, US and Israel have to win this WAR, for the safety of the World.
Guardian: Reports " Trump’s current war on Iran picks up where a longstanding enmity left "
Let's Get Real:
444 days will always be in the memory of this blog and haggard look on Jimmy Carter, the President during the Hostages Crisis of 1979 -81. IRAN has been an evil presence in the International system since then. The hostage crisis in Lebanon, and the IED's in Iraq developed by Iran. If this is the end of the theocracy, that is good, there is an hell for the Supreme Leader and his supporters or prison for those still alive.
CNN: Reports that the USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier is being sent to the Middle East.
Let's Get Real:
As the article makes clear Trump wants a deal with Iran, any deal that makes him look good, Tehran has to give the appearance that they are making concessions to avoid a strike by the US. Thus the Middle East will have two US Aircraft Carriers, the fire power to take down the theocracy Regime. TEHRAN is lucky, Trump always chickens out, he is weak, and does not have the stomach for a long war, to be fair, neither do the American people. Trump is no Reagan, that President lost 240+ Marines in one day in Lebanon, the next day he invaded Grenada, that is Presidential character and greatness, something Trump does not have in his character.
Sky News reports in its 1.40pm post that Israel hit Hezbollah sites in Lebanon today.
Lets Get Real:
When one fire goes out, another starts in Lebanon, this time its the terrorist group Hezbollah who are the targets, its Trump's peace Plan and he has to solve it, its all about details, Hezbollah is breaking its agreement when it comes to rebuilding its Terror sites, Israel is taking the correct actions in the Middle East.
BBC News: Reports in its 1.21am post that Israel has targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and also Tehran the Capital was hit.
Lets Get Real:
What will Iran do in reaction, its terrorists groups satellites will hit Israel and the US. The Government in Jerusalem has shown that it will take action even if the US says No. The days ahead will be interesting and destructive in the Middle East. Developing story.
.
Sky News Reports in its 9.16am post that President Trump has set his conditions for Iran, 1. End supporting terrorists? 2.No more Proxy Wars.,3. No Nukes.
Lets Get Real:
None of the above will happen, all Diplomacy has been tried with Iran. They are a rogue theocracy, will try to stall Trump and prevent Israel taking action. This blog will trust Mossad to know what is happening in Tehran. Trump Diplomacy will not work, it has not in the past by previous Presidents.
