[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this insightful analysis piece, the Guardian’s diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, sums up the state of US-Iran negotiations and nods at how Tehran’s grip on the strait of Hormuz puts them in a relatively strong position going forward despite the country’s economy suffering heavily from the war. Here is an extract:

“Iran’s negotiating demands have been remarkably consistent: a ceasefire in Lebanon including the withdrawal of Israel forces and the unfreezing of half of Iran’s frozen assets, about $12bn; a form of Iranian management over the strait of Hormuz; and detailed discussions later about how Tehran assures the US it is not seeking a nuclear weapon, including the down-blending of its highly enriched uranium stockpile.
Trump has been very close to agreeing these terms, but is trying to find ways to phrase them to make them more palatable to his domestic audience.
That is because on balance, the battle of blockades in the strait of Hormuz is trending in Iran’s favour. World oil inventories slowly running out, crashing the global economy from Japan to Brazil, seems more dangerous than Iran running out of cash and oil exports. The democratic west’s capacity to absorb economic pain does not match that of the Iranian regime.“[/quote]

It seems to miss the quite obvious point that Iran and the US and the global economy would benefit from peace but that's not practical because of Israel's desires.[/quote]
People are finally figuring this out.

Why do more Americans not know about this horrific act on the US by Israel? And why did it take Massie losing his reelection to bring it to the House floor?

Because it was litigated and settled 60 years ago. It was "on the House floor" decades ago.

If an Arab or any other ethnicity did it, it would’ve been seen as an act of terror and act of war against the US. Israel did it so no big deal. [/quote]
