Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

[Ron in Regina]

Yeah, Ukraine & Israel on the same side? That sounds vaguely familiar and consistent for the last 2 1/2 years. Anyway, it’s a Thursday for the cease fire, so the second flare-up this week, coincided with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha celebrated across the region, where multiple countries have been caught up in the conflict triggered by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted the U.S. base responsible for an early-morning attack near Bandar Abbas ⁠airport and that any repeat would lead to a "more decisive response", Tasnim news agency reported.

Iran, US reach deal to extend ceasefire, pending Trump's approval — Reuters

The United States and Iran reached an agreement on Thursday to extend their ceasefire and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sources told Reuters, though U.S. President Donald Trump has yet to approve it and Iranian state media said it had not been ‌finalized.

Oil prices rebounded before the weekend, with U.S. crude futures up around 3% after falling 5% on Wednesday, while stocks fell and the dollar rose on fading investor confidence in a “peace deal” that many see as key to easing global inflation risks.

Anyway, Trump dismissed an Iranian state TV ‌report about an ⁠unofficial draft of an agreement to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within a month, with Iran and Gulf state Oman jointly managing traffic.

Trump said no single country would have control over the waterway, and appeared to threaten Oman, with which the U.S. has decades-long military and economic ties.

"Nobody's going to control (the strait)," Trump said. "It's international waters, and Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up. They understand that, they'll be fine."

According to four sources familiar with the matter, the agreement would extend the truce for another 60 days and allow traffic to flow through the strategic waterway while negotiators tackle difficult issues such as Iran's nuclear program.

If approved by leadership in Washington and Tehran, it would amount to the biggest step towards peace since the conflict began on February 28. News of the possible agreement came after a round of tit-for-tat attacks between the two countries, the latest such incident since the ceasefire took effect in early April, etc…

[Ron in Regina]

What nuclear program?

The one in the news story at the link. For power consumption they may need to enrich uranium till about 5%-10% or something like that….& for some medical research it needs to be enriched to 20%. Iran has uranium enriched to something like 60% because they don’t wanna build nuclear weapons, or something along those lines.

All I know is life has gotten really expensive the last couple of years and more so the last couple of months. Trump may have all the time in the world, today because it’s a Thursday, but the rest of the globe is being squeezed, and it sucks. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what he says on Tuesday as he and his buddies Cha-Ching the global markets.

Hey hey hey whooooooa! That's antisemitic. Straight out the Elders of Zion.

Wanna know something? At a low point in life I met and shook the hoof of their god. It's was surprisingly cold.

In the antisemitic rulebook does it say which god Israelis/Jews (Israelites/Judeans/Samaritans) worship to qualify as a Jew. Which is it? Yahweh or Ba'al?

Which one chose them? My money Is on the one with the child sacrifices, the raping and the pillaging. You know, like that high priest guy with the island and ranch where thet did the sacrificing and raping children. What's his name again? Oh yeah, Jeff somethingsomethingSTEIN.

The pillaging is being redacted or labeled "whistleblower allegations" as we speak but only enough proof came out with a claim Epstein acted alone in market fraud and insider trading and some dabbling in the UK Govt.

https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMg_d8dd3f8c-1083-432c-9488-34ceb13a90e4

Why would they need to redact and censor the three wars Israel is in if they were on the up and up? What are they hiding from us that their enemies don't already know in real time with satellites and people on the ground?

The answer is in the questions you're too afraid to ask out loud ya silly Goyim.

They think the same about you and I as they do about those in this clip.

US and Iranian negotiators edged toward a deal to extend their fragile ceasefire for 60 days, but the potential breakthrough was still hanging on President Donald Trump's approval, US sources told AFP on Thursday.

Iranian sources cited by local media said any deal would be complete only when announced by Tehran, not unilaterally by Trump.

Iran's top negotiator said Friday that Tehran would only trust Washington's actions, not its words, after US Vice President JD Vance said progress had been made on a deal to extend a ceasefire and provide a framework for peace talks.

President Donald Trump has remained notably silent about the deal despite US sources telling AFP it only needed his sign-off, underscoring the unpredictability of talks three months after the conflict engulfed the Middle East and shook the global economy.

"We place no trust in guarantees or words; only actions matter. No step will be taken before the other side acts first," Iran's Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.

Energy markets have whipsawed this week as investors parse the chances of an agreement that could potentially resume normal shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump said he was making his final decision on a potential deal with Iran on Friday, because Friday, as Tehran insisted any agreement on ending the Middle East war hinged on Washington dropping its "excessive demands".

In a call with his Omani counterpart, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi "indicated that arriving at a final agreement depended on ending the American party's attitude based on excessive demands and shifting and contradictory positions", his ministry said in a statement.

"I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination," Trump said in a lengthy social media post, reiterating long-held demands that Iran agree never to have nuclear weapons and open the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes.

He said Tehran would remove mines in the strait, the US would lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, and the two countries would coordinate on removing and destroying Iran's enriched uranium, though he did not clarify whether the points had already been agreed or were part of the deal under consideration.

Whose approval are you seeking?

Are you sure about Allah (same God as Christians) or you just say random shit to try to fit in with a now rapidly diminishing crowd who still believe Zionazis are good people and ALWAYS THE VICTIM as portrayed?

Do you have any idea how fucking retarded it is for a non-believer of the Abrahamic religions to support the claim of Jews being chosen by God who allegedly have a Right to the lands of 5 sovereign nations?

You claim they're a Democracy and you support them for this reason. Isn't America also a Democracy? How can it be a democracy with 82% opposed to the war with Iran which includes Jewish Americans of which 68% agree Israel has committed genocide in Gaza?

The Zionists would applaud you but it's hard to clap when you have hooves.

Biden says he will stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if it launches major invasion of Rafah

Kevin Liptak CNN
Updated May 9, 2024

In May 2024, the Biden administration officially paused a shipment of 2,000-pound and 500-pound bombs. [1, 2]

This pause was specifically enacted over concerns that these heavy unguided bombs would cause mass civilian casualties if Israeli forces proceeded with a major ground offensive in the densely populated southern Gaza city of Rafah. [1, 2, 3]

The administration also delayed shipments of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits that turn unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions. [1]

Continued Support
The hold only applied to specific offensive weapons; defensive systems (such as the Iron Dome) and major financial aid continued to flow.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

June 27 2024

The debate...

The fall of Biden.

July 25 2024

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House on July 25, 2024. The discussions heavily focused on cease-fire negotiations, the release of hostages held in Gaza, and efforts to secure a deal. [1, 2, 3]

August 2024

The administration continued to approve other massive arms deals, including a significant $20 billion package approved in August 2024.

Resolution and Aftermath
The temporary embargo/pause on these shipments was largely lifted before the end of Biden's presidency.

In early 2025, the delayed shipment of 1,700 heavy bombs and 173 D9 bulldozers was unfrozen and delivered.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later cited the delayed shipments as an operational hurdle, though former Biden administration officials maintained that it was a strategic delay, not a total embargo. [1, 2]

Israel got rid of Biden by drugging him and in turn AIPAC and Israeli big dollar donors end backing Trump against Harris Instead.

The Jerusalem Post adds

The Netanyahu-Biden arms dispute, explained | The Jerusalem Post

Was it wise, or necessary, for Netanyahu to raise this issue now? To what end? For what purpose?
www.jpost.com www.jpost.com

In the 52nd minute of a 56-minute press conference last Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignited a sharp dispute with veterans of the Biden administration when he said an arms embargo had cost Israeli lives.

He did not mention former US president Joe Biden by name, but his meaning was unmistakable when he said the embargo had ended only after President Donald Trump came to power.

Speaking at the press conference following the return of the body of the final hostage, Ran Gvili, Netanyahu said Israel had paid a very heavy price during the war. Part of that price, he argued, stemmed from a shortage of ammunition at a critical stage, which limited Israel’s ability to deal with booby-trapped homes.

“Part of this problem was because of ammunition, and it was also a result of the operation,” he said, adding, “Incidentally, this operational situation changed beyond recognition with the entry of President Trump’s administration.”

Like a lizard sunning itself on a rock, US President Donald Trump has held a meeting to make a "final determination" about an agreement to extend a ceasefire with Iran….on a Friday afternoon. What time does the stock market close for the weekend in the US again?

He trumped that Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon or bomb, that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for "unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions", and that any mines in the waterway are "destroyed". Friday's meeting was held in the White House's Situation Room, used for dealing with major crises. Iran earlier said it was not negotiating its nuclear programme.

Since the ceasefire came into effect on 8 April, Trump has repeatedly suggested the US and Iran are close to a deal and negotiations are progressing on Fridays, but so far there have been no substantive results or outright confrontations over the weekends before the stock markets would open on Mondays.

In Friday's post on Truth Social, Trump said he was prepared to lift the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and ships caught in the waterway "may start the process of "heading home!" He also insisted Iran allows the US to remove and destroy its enriched uranium, so hold onto your hats and your wallets, as it’s about 60 hours until Monday morning. Later on Friday, a White House official confirmed to the BBC that the meeting in the Situation room had concluded. The official provided no further details.
