Iran on the Trump sanctions - Iran Crisis

Sky News: Reports " Iran nuclear deal: Supreme leader 'doesn't trust UK' and says 'Trump will be worm food'...Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iranian officials want a nuclear deal but "he doesn't trust Germany or France either". "

Lets Get Real:

Iran has a complex power structure, its  leader is the Supreme Leader not the President.  The President is seen by the elite press as moderate while the Supreme Leader is seen as very Conservative.  One can not dismiss the chance that Iran has a secret nuclear buildings that the UN does not know about.   Thus Tehran wants to keep the EU in the deal while it develops the bomb under its nose.   The Tehran Regime has two real choices, either talk to the US on a REAL DEAL or carry on as it is, make soft music with the EU while in secret building the bomb.   It was reported yesterday on CNN that Israel expects Iran to hit Israel from Syria, this would be a mistake by IRAN, a direct Iran attack on ISRAEL would bring the US into the fight.   The Middle East has just gotten hotter. 

Trump and North Korea - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " North Korea has freed three US citizens from prison, according to a tweet from US President Donald Trump.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is further good news from the Trump Oval, yesterday was the news that Trump had decided to pull out of the Obama/Iran deal, the elite left wing press has been highly critical, but the Oval has been supported by Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States.   The news from North Korea shows how much in charge the Trump Oval is,  one would think that there would be no summit without the release of the hostages.  President Trump has showed who is in charge in D.C, the more moderate members of the Trump Administration have been shown the door, Trump know understands Foreign Policy, he is his own man, he is the President and the final decider.

Trump on the Obama/Iran Deal - Historic Day

Lets Get Real:

This policy change by POTUS was a great day for the US and the West, the Obama/Iran deal gave to much to Iran, with the lifting of sanctions and hard currency.   This move by President Trump should force Iran to come to the table and agree a good deal that will prevent Iran going nuclear in the future.  POTUS also stated that the US Secretary of State is on his way to North Korea for talks, this shows how the strong comments by POTUS has forced North Korea to come to the table. 

The Democrats on the Obama/Iran Deal - Update 4 - Iran Nuclear Crisis

CNN - Politics: Reports " Former US Secretary of State John Kerry urged US President Donald Trump not to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday, warning that withdrawing from the pact could lead to conflict and further destabilize the Middle East.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats HAVE never gotten over the fact that President Trump beat HRC in 2016.  The Obama/Iran deal is the only real legacy of the Obama years when it comes to foreign policy.   The Trump Oval should revoke the deal, this blogger does not trust the Tehran Regime, one can assume that they like North Korea have secret bases as to develop the bomb.   Those that want to keep the deal are more afraid of another War, and will try to keep the deal at any cost, even if that is accepting that Tehran will get the bomb sooner or later.  The Trump Oval should have US military strikes plans for Tehran, they can not be trusted. 

Trump and Iran - Update 3 - Iran Nuclear Crisis

The New York Times: Reports on the expected termination of the Obama/Iran deal, "  the announcement will be the most consequential national security decision of Mr. Trump’s 15 months in office — though it could be eclipsed in coming weeks by his direct negotiation with North Korea’s leader over surrendering its nuclear arsenal.  "

Lets Get Real:

IF POTUS does terminate the Obama/Iran deal, the devil will be in the details, will it be a HARSH termination, as in tough sanctions, or a light termination, soft sanctions and not hitting foreign companies.   Of course the OVAL can argue, if it does a tough deal with North Korea, then it will do a deal with Iran that is both tough and more far sighted.  This could be a very important day for the Trump Presidency, either PEACE or WAR in the Middle East and Asia.   The elite left wing press will go town should POTUS back off any termination or if if he does a tough termination, in many ways POTUS can not win, if he backs off it will look like weakness after Allies tried to talk him out of it, if he does it tough termination then he we will be seen a cowboy who tears up agreements.   Better a Cowboy than Neville Chamberlain. 

The Obama/Iran Deal - Update 2 - Iran Nuclear Crisis

Guardian: Reports " The accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Program of Action (JCPOA), requires Iran to give up its stock of 20% enriched uranium, halt production and limit research of new nuclear centrifuges and allow extensive international inspections of its nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Authority.  "

Lets Get Real:

The gossip from the White House suggests that President Trump will revoke the deal, but go soft on the imposition of sanctions on Iran, also not hit foreign companies who have business links with IRAN.   As stated if that happens it would be a mistake, the Trump Oval should expect Iran to carry on cheating, this blog does not trust Iran is not doing that already.   The Oval should increase the CIA eyes and ears when it comes to Iran, find out what they are hiding and how the US can prevent Iran going nuclear.   We shall see what POTUS does, he really does not like President Obama and wants to remove any Obama legacy. 

Customs Partnership Debate - Update 2 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " PM insists her Brexit customs plan is NOT dead despite Boris Johnson branding it 'crazy' as she stops short of rebuking him at awkward Cabinet meeting  "

Lets Get Real:

At some point the PM will have to make a choice and chose a side.  Either she goes along with a HARD BREXIT and fails to get it through the House of Commons, or a soft Brexit that might get through the House of Commons at the cost of her job.  As stated this blog has been very clear on what must be done, the UK needs to remain in the Customs Union and Single Market, that is best for the future of the Conservative Party and the UK.  The new split will come within Labour, hard remainers in the Lords want the UK to take the option of staying in the Customs Union and single market, this would restrict a future Corbyn Government, this is opposed by the Labour leadership, both political parties have problems.
