UK and US leave Iraq Again - Update

BBC News: Reports " The last British and American troops have left Iraq after a military presence of more than az decade in the country. "

Let's Get Real:

Is this the final time or will old ethnic violence return, will Daesh return and force the return of the US and UK troops in the future! Time will tell, Iran might invade as to cause problems for the US and UK due to the Iran War, nothing is ever OVER in the Middle East, it always causes problems for the man in the Oval.

Iran ATTACKS Egypt Port - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Tehran used Egypt port strike to signal threat to global energy supply: report "

Let's Get Real:

This is Tehran warning the World, it can hit anywhere it wants in the Middle East and further afield. The US and the West have to take the attack seriously, they should respond and warn Iran off, they are getting bolder, where next, Europe.  The US SHOULD carry on with its strikes, Tehran Regime had to be bought down, for the safety of humanity.

Trump threatens Tehran Bridges and Power Plants - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.03pm post the following, " Trump threatens to hit bridges and power plants in Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This is a good move by Trump, put Tehran on notice if they shoot at any tankers in the Strait of Hormuz then Trump will take out civic infrastructure in Tehran.  This could force the people out on the streets, no power, no water, no bridges, make them more afraid of the US than their own EVIL REGIME, and bring down the theocracy in Iran, Trump could save future lives in the region and around the World.

Iran's nuclear stockpile and Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.47pm post the following, " Trump says US will hit reported uranium stockpile site 'pretty soon' "

Let's Get Real:

One of the principal reason for the WAR was to removes Iran's nuclear stockpile, if the Tehran Regime has moved it, then the US will have to send in the Bombers again, Trump should not have warned them, someone needs to explain operational security to Trump.  Time for action less talk!

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.

Israel hits Tyre in Lebanon - Update

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!

Israel HALTS strikes on Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 1.33pm post the following, " Israel’s Channel 12 news channel is reporting that Israeli strikes on Iran are being halted per US president Donald Trump’s request. "

Let's Get Real:

The Jerusalem Government has followed the Trump's Oval request and stated it would stop strikes on Iran.  The one condition is, if  Hezbollah hits Israeli towns then Israel will hit Beirut, thus back to start again! No wonder the Middle East is a mess.  Time for Trump to get his delusional peace deal to the end.

Israeli - Lebanon Ceasfire - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew their fragile  ceasefire "

Let's Get Real:

The ceasefire will only hold if Hezbollah does not fire in to Northen Israel.  Hezbollah has stated it will only cease the war when Israel leaves Lebanon.  This is not going to happen, the people of Northen Israel are tired of being bombed, thus the Jerusalem Government facing elections will keep troops in Lebanon and will strike close to Beirut if it feels the need.  The Trump Oval cannot be seen as appeasing Iran and their ally Hezbollah, no matter how much Trump wants a deal to end the US - Iran WAR.

Lebanon and Israeli Update

Guardian: Reports in 8.19am post the following, " Conflict in Lebanon continues despite Trump hailing Israeli-Hezbollah de-escalation "

Let's Get Real:

If Trump knew his ceasefire deal with Israel and Hezbollah was a hail Mary pass at best.  If Hezbollah attack Northen Israel from Beirut then Israel will attack back.  On the other hand it gives POTUS time to get a deal with Iran, also a hail Mary pass.  The hardliners in Tehran know now that Trump can rolled after they linked their peace to Lebanon.

Ceasfire Agreed between Israel and Hezbollah - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Netanyahu threatens strikes in Beirut if Hezbollah fails to halt attacks " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS made the call to Israel not to attack Beirut in Lebanon, a concession to the Hawks in Iran.  The Israeli PM has agreed to the Trump Oval request only as long as Hezbollah does not attack Northen Israel.  The problem is that Trump's words often do not match reality.  There is a suppose ceasefire already between Israel and Hezbollah already, it has not worked since the start.  This when lack of Presidential Credibility is a worry, does Trump's words have any power, is any one afraid of Trump NOW?  Israel has been thrown under the bus, but they will act if Hezbollah fires more Drones at Northen Israel.  This story is never over, it has not been in decades.

Trump makes more demands - Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 1.41pm post the following, " Trump suggests Saudi Arabia and Qatar sign Abraham accords as part of Iran peace deal "

Let's Get Real:

Sometimes this blog thinks POTUS is just nuts, Arab States have to worry about the Arab Street.  The feeling there is that the Palestinians should have a STATE or the chance of one in Gaza and the West Bank.  Is Trump trying to sink any deal with Iran, the blowback from Republicans and even Democrats has been severe, does Trump want to go back to bombing Iran.  How can the Master of the Art of the Deal Deal be so out of it, unless a strategic move, one does wonder.

Trump shows YELLOW Streak over Iran -'Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.56pm post the following, "  US will leave Iran in 'two or three weeks', Trump says  "

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is showing cowardice over Iran, when the US leaves in 2 to 3 weeks, the Tehran Regime will still be there, more radical and ruthless, they will have their long reach weapons and most important they will still have a nuclear stockpile within reach.  The Iran War has been a strategic disaster for the US, as the Strait of Hormuz is under the full control of Iran and they will blackmail Europe and the World economy for access to oil.  The Trump will find that this will cost the US in inflation.  JFK and Reagan are rolling in their graves, Trump has  been a World disaster and humiliation to the US.


Trump chickens out over Strait of Hormuz

Guardian: Reports in its 1.55am post the following, " Trump tells aides he’s willing to end war without reopening Hormuz strait – report "

Let's Get Real:

Thus as expected Trump turns chicken over Strait of Hormuz, he will declare a fake victory, and leave the Strait to others to solve, Sir Keir Starmer might regret his snubbing of Trump's request to join the War.   The Iranian would still have a nuclear stockpile, Trump would have failed, no new regime, a regime with missiles and the ability to go nuclear in the future. TRUMP is CHICKEN.

Good will from Iran - Iran War

Guardian: Reports in its 4.02pm post the following, " Trump says Iran allowing some oil tankers through strait as sign of good faith "

Let's Get Real:

Trump is easily impressed, if the Tehran Regime had released some political prisoners from the January unrest, that would have been impressive, also why is the Tehran Regime denied that there are talks.   The reason that Tehran Regime allowed 10 ships to pass is they are by flag registration under the Pakistan authority, the mediators in the talks between the US and Iran.  There are still tankers blocked going through the Strait of Hormuz, that is the blackmail.  The Tehran Regime is sophisticated in blackmail, they don't have other forces, due to destruction by the US.  Trump should be wary that he is being player by Iran.

Update: Sky News reports POTUS is delaying the bombing of the power plants of Iran in till the 6th of April at the request of Iran.   Is POTUS being played by Iran, it looks like it at the moment.

Futher Iranian Threars to Trump's 48 hour ultimatum- Update

Sky News:  Reports in its 4.33pm post the following, "  Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed, and it will not reopen until our damaged power plants are rebuilt; "

Let's Get Real:

This is the main threat and to go after similar facilities in Israel and the Gulf States. Trump cannot back down, any Presidential Credibility he has would be gone.  The press will be counting down the hours, any weakness would be jumped on, he would finished as an effective President.  Thus will it be WIMP or HERO from Trump, Monday will decided the answer.


Iran's threat to the US after 48 houre ultimatum from Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 12.52an post the following, " Iran threatens retaliation against US energy infrastructure if its facilities are attacked "

Let's Get Real:

The question is who will blink first, Trump cannot afford too, its about Presidential Credibility, he does not want to lose that before the November elections.  Also the World is looking, China will be concerned about Taiwan, North Korea and its threat to South Korea and the Region. Does Trump have the backbone to carry through with his threat. Interesting hours ahead.

Israel kills Iranian Intelligence Minister - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.19am post the following, " Iranian intelligence minister killed, Israel says "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Israel is keeping up the tempo, this is their chance to set the board for the Middle East for decades, and also to remove threats to Israel.  The Israeli armed forces should use this chance, while Trump is on board, POTUS is so erratic, he might declare victory tomorrow, with Tehran Regime still in place, and their access to its nuclear stockpile, so Israel should use this time wisley, eliminate who they must and be ready for a new Middle East at some point.

Trump not happy with UK over Strait of Hormuz Policy - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 5.17pm post the following,  "I was not happy with the UK... they should be involved enthusiastically'  "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Administration started this war without Allies, at Bush 43 had the UK and others in the Iraq War.  The Strait of Hormuz should have been planned for, of course Iran was going to block it, that is their main asset, the US Chief of Staff should have planned for blocking of oil.  The UK these days does not have the ships to lose to a drone or mine strike.  The US should do it first, like in late 1980s.  If it works, then we can come in.  This will shaft the Ukraine, Trump is a transactional politican, in other words you scratch my back and I will scratch yours, political decisions are tough, on thus UK PM is right at this moment.

Israel has thousands of targets in Iran - Update

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.

Trump victorious over Kharg Island - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.04pm post the following, " Military targets 'obliterated' on Kharg Island, says Trump "

Let's Get Real:

The Trum Oval left the oil facilities on Island alone, but gave a warning to Iran that if it attacks more oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz the Trump Oval will reverse its decision on Kharg, it will be interesting to see what Iran does, will it submit to Trump or carry on the War.
