Iran is cleverly trying to divide the US from Israel with this latest proposal that they will open the Strait for the duration of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Araghchi made the announcement proposing opening the Strait in return for the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Araghchi said in an April 17 post on social media.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.”
As I have said, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are Jewish, and you do NOT send them to negotiate with Iran with the involvement of Israel. Those who led the Iran negotiations with Vice President JD Vance not only lack the expertise and diplomatic experience needed to secure an agreement, but they are ethnically compromised in the Middle East when this is a religious war. They should be replaced forthwith.
Iran is not stupid. They understand that Trump is trapped by Netanyahu. This is turning back on Netanyahu. The question is will Netanyahu claim they violated the agreement by June to create the image to win reelection.
The nonsense that we cannot allow an Islamic country to have a nuke overlooks that Pakistan has nukes. Just because they are Islamic does not mean that they casually push the button. Like Pakistan, Iran sought nukes as a deterrent against Israel, which also has nukes. The excuse that they will have a nuke is not really the issue. It has always been that their rhetoric to boost their support among their religious following and to suppress their domestic opposition by painting them as supporters of evil. They have been always preaching Death of America and Israel for the last 47 years to retain power. We still see Iran will peak out in early 2027.
