John Kerry Breaks Down How the Iran Deal Actually Worked

Posted on by Lone Candle

In tough diplomacy, the world came together to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Even Israeli intelligence said Iran was in compliance. Trump blew all that up by leaving the agreement unilaterally, claiming he could get a better deal. Instead, he gave us war.

The Obama-Iran deal set back Iranian nuclear development by over a decade, and was intended to be the start of negotiations and the relationship, not the final say. They hoped the next president, Hillary Clinton, could push deals forward. Instead, Trump was elected and took a different path.

Why the Iran Ceasefire Changes Nothing Economically

Posted on by Lone Candle

Thanks to the US having weaker relationships with our allies due to Trump’s bullying, and Trump’s, so far, failed war in Iran, and Trump’s failure to contain Russia or China…US military spending is going to be much higher. Trump’s attempts at saving money by getting allies to pay more has backfired.

URGENT UPDATE – The Iran War Expert: The Most Dangerous Stage Begins Now

Posted on by Lone Candle

Trump may have gotten the US into a trap. He left the deal Obama made with Japan, and similar ones were on the offer, but he rejected them and instead chose war. Now the US may be stuck between either a massive ground invasion of Iran or Iran as a new great power.

Mehdi’s EXCLUSIVE interview with Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman On The War

Iran says that the reason they enriched uranium past the agreed upon amount was because Trump betrayed the deal Iran made with the United States. They only did it as retaliation for the United States backing out of an agreement both countries agreed to, not because they wanted a nuke.

How Trump decided to strike Iran

Posted on by Lone Candle

“A last chance to avert war with Iran played out Thursday in Geneva, where Trump administration officials told Iranian counterparts they must not take certain steps needed to build a nuclear bomb.

It didn’t go well.

As the U.S. delegation laid out its position that Iran couldn’t enrich uranium for the next 10 years, the Iranian side balked, said a senior Trump administration official who described the meeting on condition of anonymity.

Iran has an “inalienable right” to enrich uranium, Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, told the Americans. And the U.S. has an “inalienable right” to stop you, Steve Witkoff, a member of the U.S. delegation, replied.

After having heard the U.S. demands, Araghchi started yelling at Witkoff, who was accompanied at the meeting by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, among others, said the senior official.

“If you prefer, I can leave,” Witkoff said.

Araghchi’s representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Afterward, the American delegation reported back to Trump what had happened. Trump was “nonplussed,” the senior official said.

By Saturday morning, the U.S. was at war.

…

“They weren’t willing to stop their nuclear research,” Trump said. “They weren’t willing to say they will not have a nuclear weapon. Very simple.””

Morocco has controlled all the valuable parts of the land, but the rebels had the desert and help from neighboring Algeria. Recently, Morocco has gained more and more international support for its claim, culminating in a UN Security Council vote in favor of its claims, with help from the United States.
