The current round of ceasefire efforts between the US and Iran has reached a dead end, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing mediators.

Additionally, an unnamed source told Iran's semi-official Fars news agency on Friday that Tehran had rejected the US proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire.

The sooner our side realizes that the Iranians are stalling until Russia or China gives them more firepower the sooner we can obliterate their sorry asses!

The claim is that China is not giving them anything and is pressuring the Iranians and wants uninterrupted oil to resume.

The Russians OTOH have every reason to want as much chaos and high oil prices as possible.

The 48 hour USA cease fire request sounds bogus to me.

The Jerusalem Post is Hard Left and anti-Trump.

The Wall Street Journal News Division (Front Page) is Center Left and vehemently anti-Trump.

Right? Didn’t we learn anything from the Rolling Thunder bombing pauses in Vietnam. The IRGC will use any pause to reconstitute air defenses.

Y’all haven’t figured it out have you?
As long as we treat Democrats as equals we are screwed.
Be they Chinese Russian or European. They are run by their local versions of Democrats.
Bust them all up!
Quit thinking of, or fighting the last war, execute the next one; it is going to be different.
I was just an junior NCO in the military and they taught me that, as a matter of course.
That is why our military kicks butt when it is unleashed from Democrat politician Hem’s and Ha’s.

Because this is FR and the Boomer-Cons would be mortified, I generally don’t go beyond the limits of “Constitutional Conservatism” and “the rule of law” in suggesting solutions.

I understand.
Since Jim no longer runs the show, I’ll admit
in another life I was banned from FR
for being too Conservative.
I may get banned again, since they
know I’m back,
but it’ll be worth it.
My banned name was rellik.

Iran’s ‘leadership’ is evil - nothing they say can be trusted. I’m sure that’s what you meant, right? You weren’t passing along their Tokyo Rose crapola, right?

Oil was over $100 for three and a half years of Obama’s term without daily headlines - MSM sucks...

Hunt down the IRGC.

Bunker bomb the storage facility until UF6 gas fills the air.

Start taking out electric substations near where the IRGC leaders are likely living. Then have drones look for generators.

Around day 50 of Trump’s 60 days, start taking out electric substations elsewhere.

Fly old helicopters into Iran under remote control, crash them, and have drones pick off people looking for US airmen.

Airdrop guns with ammo packed in Styrofoam or polyurethane blocks to slow their descent and protect the guns in farming areas, in areas where the thugs have been really nasty and areas around universities.

“the rule of law”

Iran has paid people and given them weapons to militarily attack Israel.

Israel has the right to smack Iran back.

The US, an ally of Israel, can help out.

As of a few days ago, the ISW had the Russians pretty much blocked in the Donbas.

Perhaps Rubio can work to bring peace to Ukraine. Russian oil and natural gas will then be available to the EU.

“I’m surprised by the 48 hour ceasefire proposal.”

Why? It is to give a safety net for any “negotiators” to be able to meet face to face...
