We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel, they took every opportunity to tank this deal & will likely do so again unless we take action.
We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners can’t strike us to drag us back into the fight.
Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iran’s terms.
Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

“Trump s solving problems in a complicated part of the world...”
But this time he effd up big didn’t he ?
Now whatcha gonna do?
Clark Kent's little sister
“I was not aware that Israel had tanked any deal with iran.”
To avoid using “brain-dead” I’ll just say: Are you serious?
EVERY time there is even a hint of a possibility of a deescalation Israel torpedoes it !
To make your point correct: MI6 takes out Russia refineries over 1,000 miles from Ukraine..
“Now whatcha gonna do?”
Perhaps:
“In 2020, nearly two million tons of depleted uranium was accumulated in the world. Most of it is stored in the form of DUHF in special steel tanks.”

Nope.
It’s called good cop - bad cop
Does anyone actually believe that Israel would execute a major attack to assassinate the top Iranian terrorism asset in the Hezbollah leadership without coordination and a green light with the Trump Admin
That just does not happen
Iran publicly told Trump they would not even show up to sign the MOU and left JD Vance hanging in Switzerland to try to embarrass and humiliate Trump and assert their dominance on the world stage
In response , Trump green lighted Israel and smoked Irans top guy in Hezbollah to show Iran the error of their ways. This also gave Trump an out to save face and blame Israel for the delay in the signing of the MOU .
And Trump then went on one of his theatrical rants to blame Netanyahu to bolster his image as the rational peacemaker trying to broker a peace deal
Iran got the message and rescheduled the signing for the upcoming Friday
I’d say Israel saved Trumps Iran deal and forced Iran back to the table by acting as a proxy to punish Iran for their bad faith negotiations by resuming their wildly successful targeted assassination program against and letting the IRGC know that they could be next on the hit list
One thing is 100% certain, Iran had no intention of of even showing up to in the MOU on Sunday and Israel had nothing to do with that decision
Iran publicly went on record that they were not showing up to sign the MOu well before Isreal did their hit on Hezbollah
Israel smoked Irans top guy in Hezbollah in retaliation and force Iran back to the negotiating table.
Shortly after, Iran capitulated and announced they would sign on this upcoming Friday
I’d say Israel did not tank the deal. Instead , israel saved the deal and then sealed the deal for Trump - at least for now .
Iran only responds to power and force.
Israel demonstrated who holds the power and applied the force needed to coerce Iran to the negotiating table to sign Trumps MOU
Surrender is always an option I guess.
Trump seems to have already kicked Israel to the curb. If he thinks they are not going to defend themselves, with or without our approval, he is crazy
You do know that Joe Kent easily took out big time RINO JaimeHuerraBuetler in the 2020 primary but was then torpedoed in the general by less than 1% in two decade red WA3 by the pissed off RINO deep state?
but that doesn’t matter to you because he exposed the idiocy of this war. YES this war FOR ISRAEL..
multi tour combat special forces and CIA (’k, that’s a negative, but..))
Liz Cheney was #3 Republican in the House.I think she spoke with experience.
Mike Pence was #2 in the Administration. I think he spoke with experience.
There is an ocean between ‘telling Israel to stop action in Lebanon’ and ‘cut all military/intel assistance to Israel’.
The same tactic used by somebody who said to Eve, “”Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The Joe Kent who resigned as Trump's Director of the National Counterterrorism Center because he didn't like how Trump handled Iran?
Now he's out here lecturing us on how to strengthen the peace deal Trump just delivered, by cutting aid to Israel.
Funny how the guy who quit when the pressure was on suddenly has all the answers.
Where’d ya get the intel?
Trump got the job done.
Some people just couldn't handle it.
Nope.
You don’t get to resign when the going gets tough then turn around and dictate policy after others have done the job.
Because Iran secretly just loves us, if not for Israel.
Buy a clue.
👍👍
“He was an insider just a few months ago. I think he speaks with experience.”
____________
He was an insider that was prohibited from insider meetings. Senior administration officials confirmed that former National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Director Joe Kent was deliberately sidelined from high-level intelligence briefings and strategic planning sessions regarding Iran.
He is a traitor who cannot be trusted.
