Kushner and Witkoff are who Trump relies on. And they are very focused on Israel's interests. |

I was confused about it enough that I went and looked at the map. Maybe they’re talking about re-routing everything through the Red Sea? The Mediterranean? |

This response feels so, so, so good! Your inability to detect the fact that radar is already locked-on is going to make your eventual accountability for decades of atrocities, deception, and unmitigated evil all the more enjoyable as it unfolds in the coming years. After decades of vicious aggression and collective punishment hidden behind a “preemptive self-defense” shield, Israel and its unconditional defenders better get ready to acquaint themselves with “ex post facto accountability”. |

| Netanyahu says the ceasefire won't include Lebanon so war crimes and Israeli terrorism will continue there for the time being. |

Very peculiar and unhinged behavior from the FCC chair here. He is pretending a statement read on CNN, which came from Iran's Supreme National Security Council, is fake, and he is threatening CNN over it.

Pakistan has been fairly neutral so far as it wanted to play mediator. Piss them off and Iran will have a bomb in no time. Netanyahu says US-Iran ceasefire ‘does not include Lebanon’ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/8/netanyahu-says-us-iran-ceasefire-does-not-include-lebanon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has announced that Israel backs the United States’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks, but said the truce will not apply to Lebanon. In a statement on X on Wednesday, Netanyahu said that Israel supported US President Donald Trump’s efforts to ensure “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbors and the world”. He said the US has told Israel that it is committed to achieving these goals in the upcoming negotiations in Pakistan’s Islamabad on Friday. But the two-week ceasefire “does not include Lebanon”, he added. Netanyahu’s statement comes after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the US, Iran and their allies “have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere”. Sharif said the move was “effective immediately”. |

If that's the case, then Israel isn't going to abide by the ceasefire. Now what? |

Not sure how many cards Israel has left. The entire world is glazing PM Shehbaz Sharif and he probably wins a Nobel Peace Prize. Pakistan media is also playing this up so losing face would be brutal.

Here's an article from Pakistan's largest English paper Dawn, which was started under British rule.
‘Biggest diplomatic win in years’: Pakistan’s quiet role in US-Iran ceasefire https://www.dawn.com/news/1989780/biggest-diplomatic-win-in-years-pakistans-quiet-role-in-us-iran-ceasefire More than two weeks of intense, largely unseen diplomacy preceded the announcement that the United States and Iran have agreed to observe a two-week ceasefire, diplomatic observers told Dawn — a breakthrough they say would not have been possible without sustained mediation by Pakistan. Islamabad moved quickly after the conflict erupted on Feb 28. Within days of the first strikes, Pakistani officials began activating diplomatic channels across multiple capitals. While publicly maintaining neutrality, Pakistan quietly positioned itself as a bridge between Washington and Tehran — two adversaries that do not maintain direct diplomatic relations. Pakistan represents Iran’s interests in Washington, giving it a rare institutional foothold in both capitals. “Why has Pakistan remained front and center in a high-stakes and high-risk US-Iran peace facilitation effort?” asked Michael Kugelman, a Washington-based scholar of South Asian affairs. “Strong ties with all key players, trust from the White House, ongoing direct engagements with Iran, and buy-in from Pakistan’s ally China,” he said, noting that Beijing holds significant leverage with Tehran. Kugelman argued that Islamabad also had compelling reasons to step forward. “It is especially vulnerable to the conflict’s effects. It doesn’t want to get dragged into the conflict and has strategic interests in showcasing its agency as an influential regional actor,” he added. For Islamabad, however, the ceasefire already marks a significant diplomatic achievement — demonstrating that sustained engagement, even when conducted largely out of public view, can alter the trajectory of a fast-moving regional crisis. |

Trita Parsi discusses the strange circumstances surrounding the protests in Iran back in January. About Trump trying to arm protesters via the Kurds; the not usual amount of violence that occurred; Mike Pompeo's infamous tweet; the targeting of mosques, banks, and police stations; and 200 govt forces killed. He also claims 7,000 were killed not the 30-50,000 that others state..
Trita Parsi is an Iranian-Swedish IR/PoliSci analyst. He got his Ph.D. at SAIS under Francis Fukuyama. This is discussed from (0:00 - 3:50) in video. The rest of the video is on the Trump lunacy the past few days. Iran Fears Trump's LOST IT: Will Nuke Them |

There’s no more uncertainty.
Israel DID violate international law and interfere in Iran’s domestic affairs to arm and manipulate dissident groups, leading to whatever deaths occurred in January 2026. Israel DID drag the U.S. into this war on the basis of, surprise surprise, false claims and propagandized “intelligence”. How many decades of this treachery are we going to tolerate? |
