Well, what we gather is that the U.S.
conducted strikes on Iranian missile facilities that they believe were preparing to attack U.S.
interests in the region and also vessels, Iranian naval vessels that they accuse plausibly of preparing to further mine the Strait of Hormuz.
So those are the targets that we gather have been attacked.
And at the same time, negotiations are gaining steam in Qatar.
They are inching closer to a memorandum of understanding for a peace agreement that would hold for two or three months, something like that, in order to open the possibility of an agreement on much more intractable issues such as the nuclear file.
Yeah, that's a really interesting question.
I mean, things like a ceasefire agreement or arms reduction agreements are in that category of statecraft agreements, agreements between nation states that are valid until they're not, and that are in force until they aren't.
They are rock solid until the day that they evaporate.
If the Iranians declare that this has been an unbearable, egregious ceasefire that has brought
the end of conflict provisions to a screeching standstill, then it will presumably be that, exactly that.
Well, I think it's all very predictable because I think it's still pretty clear that Israel has its own agenda and Israel is going to do what it's going to do.
But when it comes to Iran, they have to be very careful.
to keep Washington on side, not to exceed their remit, not to go too far in annoying the Americans, and not to exceed their mandate from Washington.
The measures that Israel might be contemplating would be okay in Lebanon as long as they didn't attack the airport and the port, which they've been told not to by the United States.
But when it comes to Iran, they've really got to let Washington take the lead.
Yes.
Well, he's been very clear about that for many weeks.
And really, since the first time he postponed the major attacks he kept talking about, the civilization-ending attacks that did not budge the Iranians one inch.
And then he decided to give them a last-minute reprieve for no discernible reason, no apparent reason.
