Is the Iran ceasefire actually holding or already collapsing?
Is this a ceasefire or not? Like, what is going on here?
I mean, right now, at this particular moment, we're in a place where the Trump administration is saying one thing. They're saying that, you know, we didn't agree to this 10-point plan, even though Trump previously said that that was a good basis. And Iran is saying, no, we actually want Lebanon to be part of this ceasefire. And Netanyahu was pretty much jeopardizing the entire deal. And up to about a minute ago, the latest update is that Netanyahu is now saying that they want to start direct talks with Lebanon for disarming Hezbollah. But, you know, we're going to see how that goes. Every time this happens, Israel continues striking. So at the moment, the ceasefire is tenuous. It's very, you know, we really don't know exactly where this is going to go.
Yeah, great. You have the tweet up there. But it's a rapid moving situation. And, you know, the big picture is we are in a worse place than we were before the war started. Iran now has control over the Strait.
It does. It has. J.D. Vance, who was supposed to be helping with these negotiations, J.D. Vance is saying that Lebanon was never part of these negotiations. So where is the miscommunication, I guess? And who's doing the negotiating? Because Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are heading over or over in the region, and they're going to go over to negotiate, but they have negotiating experience. So is this like the Keystone Cops? What is going on here?
It's just, there are a bunch of incompetent, you know, overreachers here. And that's what we see happening. I mean, when you look at Vance going this Saturday with Witkoff and Kushner, I mean, right now, Iran did indicate they want to talk to Vance. So I guess you could look at that as maybe semi-positive. The miscommunication here is, I think this is exactly what happened. Iran previously put out this 10-point plan, and then Trump, just needing some kind of off-ramp, agreed to one of their previous... uh one of their previous you know demands right it wasn't even their most recent one it was a 10 point plan and then iran just like we're just going to take this as a propaganda win win right there was no not really much direct communication clearly because they clearly misunderstood whether or not lebanon was part of this ceasefire uh the 10 point plan that trump said was a good starting point demands that the u.s leaves the middle east entirely
and leaves all their military. Like there's very clear things in that 10 point plan that would not happen. So the communication has broken down. And then now I guess we're hoping to restart. I would consider Saturday when they go to Pakistan, that would actually be the true start of direct talks because neither of them have any idea what is going on. It's like basically been two regimes that are selling propaganda wins to their various bases. That's what's happened so far. I don't,
I don't administration can sell any of this as a win for anybody because I mean, clearly it's, you know, it's obviously it's not a win. I don't know how they can do that. Donald Trump seems to be, he's like, I'm, I'm out. My name is Wes. I ain't in this mess. He's not, he's barely, he doesn't even want to talk about it. And I'm wondering if this is the JD Vance setup, right? Where they say, okay, now you go in and fix it. They're going to have him. you know, and some, I guess, show that, okay, he is presidential material. I don't think J.D. Vance can fix this because he's just a, you know, like a tap dancing salesman, right? A fast talking, slick, you know, salesman. And I don't, you know, negotiating with these folks or it takes someone with some foreign policy experience, which was, you think about it, the presidency is about
Being able to make decisions, but also having people around you, a cabinet that can give you great advice, a cabinet of rivals, so to speak, as some presidents like to have. And that was the reason that Barack Obama chose Joe Biden is because of Joe Biden's foreign policy expertise and experience.
