The white noise around the Iran situation is deafening. There is nothing fair, honest and reliable to base any conclusion on.

America can shut the Hormuz straight any time they choose.
We can seize any Iranian oil tanker.
We can overfly the country and pretty much bomb any area at will.
Our biggest deficit is the dastardly democrats who seek to undermine Trump at every turn.

It’s pretty simple, really, for a middle eastern war.

There are main two factions in the Iran IRGC right now.. One wants to talk, and draw out talks about a ceasefire. The other is currently chanting “death to the compromisers” and wants to die fighting.

There was supposed to be a two day ceasefire before talks about a long ceasefire and possible peace deal, starting Friday.

At least one of the factions wanted the ceasefire to include Hezbollah Lebanon, and they are angry that Israel specifically excluded them from any deals. Therefore, they began shooting at all and sundry not 5 minutes after the short ceasefire was supposed to begin.

At least one of the Gulf countries started bombing Iran this morning. I think Oman.

That’s because things are not going as well as expected and they don’t want us to know that.

Agree. That's why I'm not paying attention to any of what comes out. I'll know when it's over, if I'm still alive at that time.

It seems to be a hot mess. Of course, we don’t know everything that’s going on behind the scenes. Maybe Trump was too confident after the big win in Venezuela. Who knows?

One thing for sure: Iran isn’t going to negotiate in good faith. Their beliefs aren’t political. The core beliefs are religious and they’re true believers in annihilating the two Satans. A few meetings aren’t going to change that. They need to be eliminated, not schmoozed.
