Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

I still think this whole thing is little more than bluster meant to appease the Israelis and scare the Iranians into signing a disadvantageous deal. I expect to see some nominal bombings and missile strikes take place over the coming weeks, but I think Trump realizes that anything more than that would not only be extremely difficult for the U.S. military to sustain logistically, but would provide very little geostrategic benefit for the U.S., and would be politically disastrous to boot. At the end of the day, like all bullies, Trump operates mostly on hot air and bravado. He talks a big game and then ends up delivering very little before walking away and declaring victory. I'll be surprised if this latest brouhaha turns into anything more serious than the previous "war".

This whole scenario over the last three decades has been like a bad marriage between The Goy Who Cried Wolf and the movie Groundhog Day. Oh, "this time" Israel and Iran are going to go to the mat and "the US will put boots on the ground in Iran on behalf of Israel."

Ain't gonna' happen.

How many times can someone hear the same (((MSM))) proclamation before realizing it will never come true?

The question thus becomes, "Why would (((They))) keep pushing this same false narrative over and over again, year in year out, decade after decade, yet never actually pull the trigger?"

I think most men here can figure out an answer to that.

U.S.-Iran deal is "within our reach," Omani mediator says

Negotiators from the U.S. and Iran have made "substantial progress" toward a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi told CBS News on Friday.

He said Iran has agreed that it will "never, ever have … nuclear material that will create a bomb," which he called a "big achievement." The country's existing stockpiles of enriched uranium would be "blended to the lowest level possible" and "converted into fuel, and that fuel will be irreversible," according to Albusaidi.

And Iran is willing to grant inspectors from the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency "full access" to its nuclear sites in order to verify the terms of the deal, said Albusaidi.

"There would be zero accumulation, zero stockpiling, and full verification," he said. Albusaidi said that if there is a fair and endurable deal in place, he is "quite confident" that even American inspectors will have access at some point in the process.

Seems very at odds with what Trump was saying earlier today about his unhappiness with the current state of negotiations though.
