Trump warns Israeli PM and Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Frustrated Trump sends a chilling message to Netanyahu and vows to 'take out' Iran's final untouched nuclear site if deal is not reached "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval does not like to be shown in up public by a friend, specially if that friend is Israel telling him that Iran has been placing its nuclear stockpile in another mountain after Trump bombed Iran last year over the fear of its nuclear stockpile.  The Trump Oval has given peace talks with Iran a chance, its never the last time with Iran, they have talks, shoot at tankers and then have further talks, they are playing Trump for a fool.  The Trump background is real estate and reality TV, he does not understand the Iranian mind set or how to win a WAR.  The President as stated in previous post is listening to his Vice President, J.D Vance, who more concerned about the 2028 race and if he can win the MAGA base and win the General Election.  LBJ made sure his VP kept to the script, he bugged his plane as to know in advance if his VP was about to break with him over the Vietnam War, while that was going on the FBI was bugging the South Vietnam Embassy and discovered that the Nixon Campaign was telling South Vietnam not to go the Paris peace talks.  It would be fair to say that LBJ kept quiet about it, as would cause a constitutional crisis and it would be something that LBJ had over Nixon, the Watergate caper of Nixon trying find out what the Democrats had on the affair, thus the fall of Nixon.

PAUSE in US - Iran War - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.23pm post the following, " Iran war, day 150 - hopes of peace talks grow after strikes paused for two days "

Let's Get Real:

This is a mistake by the Trump Oval, he listening to VP Vance, an idiot who stated that WW2 was bought to end by talks, as we know both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were destroyed, the Allies demanded and got Unconditional Surrender.  The Trump Oval has to destroy the Tehran Regime, it is EVIL, you do talk to EVIL, Chamberlain found that out in 1939.  Thus the US should restart bombing in till the Tehran Regime does surrender.

US Soldier killed in Iraq - Update

Daily Mail: Reports the following, "  The US military has announced a third service member has been killed in the Middle East by an Iranian drone as tensions between the two countries continue to hit a peak. "

Let's Get Real:

As this blog suggested some time ago, Iran would take the WAR outside its borders.  Thus far it has been the Gulf States, Jordan, now it is a drone strike that was being defused in Iraq.  What if Tehran restarts the Iraq - Iran WAR, that would be nightmare for the Trump Oval.  The Trump Administration has to go all in when comes to the Iran War, win quickly and finish the job, before Iran acts and the Mid Terms.

Tanker Decline in Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports the following in its 11.02am post, " Traffic through strait of Hormuz plummets after US-Iran strikes "

Let's Get Real:

This can't go on, it will effect the Western economy sooner or later.  Tehran has shown its word cannot be trusted, it lies as it talks, the are playing a crafty game of waiting out Trump and the US Navy.   The Mid Terms are coming and the Democrats should win the House of Representatives, then we have two years of Trump investigations and Impeachment, followed by the 2028 Presidential cycle.

US to Iran tonight - Trump at NATO Summit, - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.00pm post the following, " Donald Trump warned the US is preparing to launch more strikes against Iran, after he said he considered the US-Iran truce to be “over”. " 

Let's Get Real:

This Trump playing games, will he carry through with his threat, this blog has its doubts, he has threatened Iranian civilization before and backtracked before the attacks.  The Trump Oval has to follow through, he has no Presidential Credibility on Iran, how many u - turns have we seen, more u turns than Sir Keir Starmer.  The American people support winners, appeasers and failures do not have good reviews, just ask Richard Nixon or LBJ.  Trump needs to win in Iran.

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.

US strikes Iran - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " US launches fresh airstrikes against Iran following continued aggression ......Explosions were reportedly heard in Sirik, Qeshm Island, Minab and Isfahan, key Iranian sites amid the major escalation between the United States and Iran. " 

Let's Get Real:

Thus Trump has followed through, harder hits but will Tehran smell the coffee, to win all Iran has to do is outwait Trump, the Oval is afraid to use ground troops, that is the only thing that will move the theocracy Regime in Tehran.  The US will need troops to go and get Iran' nuclear stockpile or dust as called by Trump.  The Tehran Regime has stated it will strike back, thus further tit for tat strikes, Trump should go in hard and stay and remove the Regime, anything else is a strategic mistake.

Trump on Iran - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 5.00pm post the following, " Trump threatens more strikes on Iran after US helicopter collision with Iranian drone " 

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is talking tough, he has done that before and not followed through with his threats.  Trump is chicken, the money markets are clever, that is why they call him a TACO President; Trump Always Chickens Out; all the Tehran Regime has to do is out last Trump.  This blog feels sorry for the Iranian people and the thirty thousand of them killed by the EVIL Tehran Regime, nothing lasts forever, the Regime will FALL, if the USSR can fall, then the Theocracy will fall, it is destined to fall, Evil falls sooner or later.

US and Iran Exchange THREATS - Update

BBC News: Reports the following, " US President Donald Trump and Iran's senior officials have traded new threats of further action, after the two sides exchanged strikes. "

Let's Get Real:

Either the sides have REAL talks or its all out War again.  Of course both sides could be bluffing, a TACO President and a divided Tehran Regime.  The US will have no better chance to take out the Iranian Regime before it gets Nukes, the lesson of North Korea should be in the minds of policy makers in the Trump Administration, US Administrations before Trump failed to stop North Korea, thus the threat to Asia and the World today.  Thus who will blink first in this stand off, more likely Trump, he wants out of the WAR before the Mid Terms in November, Trump is always chicken.

Trump states Iran is taking to long to make a deal - Update

Noted: Just reading Dr. Jill Biden's memoirs, so far informative and moving, have not gotten 2224 and the decision to run for re - election and the disastrous debate with President Trump and Biden being forced out by his Party.

Sky News: Reports in its 12.19pm post the following, " Trump 'Iran has taken too long to negotiate - now it will have to pay the price' " 

Let's Get Real:

Another threat from a TACO President, he makes big threats and does not carry them out.  The Oval likes limited strikes, but nothing big like ground troops to take Iran's nuclear stockpile or dust as called by Trump.  Tehran knows that Trump is delusional and wants out of the WAR he started.  Unfortunately the Tehran Regime can out last Trump and the MAGA movement, another failed Presidency after Biden.

US hits Iran after helicopter Loss - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, "  US begins 'self-defense strikes' against Iran, CENTCOM says  "

Let's Get Real:

If the Tehran Regime is sane, that is open to question, they will not react to the US counter attack because of the helicopter loss, they will carry on with talks they are winning, the TACO President wants a way out before the Mid Terms in November.  The erratic President sees the Memorandum of Understanding as the goal no matter the consequences for the Gulf States, Israel and the World.  Trump will go down as another Neville Chamberlain, an appeaser who did not see the threat out there.  The Iranian nuclear issue will face the next President, in that time the Tehran Regime could have a nuclear weapon.

Iran Shoots down US Helicopter- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 5.43pm post the following, " Trump says Iranians shot down Apache helicopter over Strait of Hormuz "

Let's Get Real:

Thus POTUS says the US must respond, he told Israel not to react when Iran targeted Israel with missiles, on this the TACO President must respond, the US cannot have countries thinking they can shoot down US assets, even if no loss of lives.  POTUS must also remember his fabled peace talks are on the table.  Thus what will Trump do?

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! 

Trump WARNS Israel - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump warns Netanyahu to 'be very careful' as Israel risks losing US backing in Iran conflict "

Let's Get Real:

This is an empty threat from Trump, the Republican Party as a whole supports Israel, the Democrats have gone far left, in other words the base of the Democatic Part is very firmly anti Israel and pro Palestinians, the candidates in the 2028 Presidential cycle will have to appear to the left to get elected and move to the centre to get elected, not an easy move for the Democrats, easier for Republicans to move from the right to the centre.  

Iran to stop hitting Israel, its conditional - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 12.22pm post the following, " Iran announces end of attacks against Israel "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the Tehran has followed the demand from POTUS to stop shooting at Israel, while Israel thus far has not replied. The one condition that Tehran has stated is that Israel will cease  its actions in Lebanon.  ONE assumes Jerusalem will follow Tehran and cease shooting at Iran, as to Lebanon the Jerusalem Government will want to protect Northern Israel, so still an open wound.  Let's see if Trump can get his Memorandum of Understanding over the finish line.

Israel HITS Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in 6.00am post the following, " Israel launches retaliatory strikes on Iran "

Let's Get Real:

The White House will not be happy, in fact Trump will be furious, but it will SHOW Trump he does not hold the ALL the cards.  TRUMP cannot afford to annoy the Israeli lobby in the US before the Mid Terms.  In will be interesting to see how the day develops, many Presidents have had Middle East follies, how will Trump come back!

Iran Fires missiles at Northen Israel - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 8.41pm post the following, " IDF says it has intercepted all missiles launched from Iran "

Let's Get Real:

Will the Trump Oval allow Israel to hit back, or will they ask for Israel not to react.  There will be calls in Israel for them to hit Iran.  The question is can Trump stop them, does he want too.  Interesting hours and days ahead.

Iran threatens US and Israel - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.02pm post the following,  " Iran's top negotiator threatens US bases and assets in the region "

Let's Get Real:

Thus the conquences of giving a conditional blank cheque to ISRAEL.  This blog supports Israel 100%, but US and Israel agenda might differ.  In the eyes of Israel the Hezbollah terror group is an arm of Iran and has to be destroyed, its either the survival of Israel or Hezbollah, a terrorist group.  The US just wants out of the Iran War it started, its all about inflation and the price of gas.  Trump must follow through and take out the Tehran Regime.

Israel attacks Beirut, Lebanon - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.20pm post the following, " Israel strikes Beirut's Dahiyeh suburb "

Let's Get Real:

This could torpedo the US - Iran talks, Tehran has made it clear that the ceasefire should cover Lebanon and the terrorist group Hezbollah.  The Israeli people, especially those living in Northen Israel want the rockets fired by Hezbollah in Lebanon to STOP.  Thus Jerusalem is under political pressure to take a firm stand, no matter what Trump wants.  This blog gave a warning about a blank cheque to Israel.

US - Iran Draft Deal - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 3.36pm post the following, " The draft Trump has shared is not vastly different to the one that has been circulating across the Middle East for days, under which the strait of Hormuz would be opened to commercial shipping, the US blockade of Iranian ports would by lifted and Iran would be given access to as much as $12bn (£9bn) in frozen assets "

Let's Get Real:

The idea of giving 12 billion to Tehran should stop the deal in its tracks.  Trump has complained about Obama's Iran deal giving billions to Iran.  President Trump promised this would not happen, has Trump turned chicken again.  The Tehran Regime will spend the money on funding its terrorists Allies in the Region and World wide.  The Hawks in the US Congress should oppose such a deal, its a present to a terrorist Regime.  One hopes that Israel will oppose the deal.  Trump is a TACO President and weak.

Update: Sky News reports in its 3.26pm post that a deal has been agreed by the US and Iran 3 days ago, but both Tehran  and Washington D.C have been slow to sign, the deal gives the ceasefire an extension of 60 days and opens the Strait of Hormuz, but leaves the Nuclear stockpile of Iran for later talks.  If confirmed, thus would be a strategic defeat for Trump, sets the conditions pre War, and this blog will state that Iran will never give up its nuclear stockpile, its their future security.  The US hawks will be appalled, Israel will be very concerned about its security.  A major failure for Trump and the US.  The Democrats will have field day before the Mid Terms.  Trump really is chicken, TACO is confirmed.
