File under: Govt of Iran

1 I'm not privy to what is going on behind the scenes, but a 60 day cease fire seems to give Iran too much time. I still think the Iranians are trying to string this out until the mid terms in the hopes that the Demoncrats gain control of one or both branches of Congress. I don't see an active conflict in Iran during the mid terms to be a good idea.

2 I can’t tell how Iran is currently doing with regard to paying their military and where the actual majority of popular support is for the regime. I am OK with this type of settlement as long as there aren’t cash payments to them or significant unfrozen assets.

3 Does the Mullants even know what a MoU is?

It's just and understanding of maybe terms, not a real agreement.

I seriously doubt that the current Iranan leadership have any intention of sticking with a worthless "MoU".

No more delay, finish the jb!

4 No more delay, finish the job!

Or stop using phrases like "cheese-eating surrender monkeys".

5 "US Vice President J.D. Vance announced progress in negotiations with Iran, noting the Iranian side's good-faith approach to the process."

Idiots. Good faith. Aliens are demons. This guy. WTF. I've come to dislike Vance b/c of the words he chooses. Meanwhile in GOOD FAITH, Iran stated:

and that the international internet fiber optic cables passing through the coasts of the Islamic Republic would be “subject to fees”; otherwise, the “international internet” would be cut off.

6 More Iranian Good Faith Diatribe

Tehran’s Friday prayer leader described recent developments in the region as signs of the decline of the United States and Israel, stating that during the Ramadan War, Washington and the Israeli regime realized that the United States has completely lost the ability to maintain a presence in West Asia.

8 I have no doubt our folks are checking the tire pressures and polishing the canopies while the charade continues.

Maybe Trump needs a 'Gulf of Tonkin' moment. But I'm sure he wants to say, most earnestly, 'I gave them every opportunity for peace.'
