This was also clearly a play by Iran to divert attention away from them. It worked, to a degree. But this will all be wrapped up by 8/14 or so, giving plenty of time to focus on the 22nd and the 31st when sanctions could be approved.
If this ends with the ceasefire resolution in place and sanction on Iran, Iran has lost.
If no sanctions go into effect, then Iran wins.

02:43 Bolton: no agreement yet on UN truce resolution but hope for one Fri. (Reuters)
With all of the tap dancing about this Israel/Lebanon resolution...there is NO WAY this same group of people can agree on an Iranian Sanctions resolution...
And besides..we don't need an Iranian resolution...Mike Wallace says that all AJ wants is "peace and love"..and is an okay guy!!!
