US-Iran War Mudpit Thread

[Thoughtful3]

Yes, a threat. No glasses needed. A threat to Israel. Now terminated.

Since you brought up Israel- Something has just come up on the radar.

Is there anyone that is not under Israeli influence? I was hoping for more "Peace Through Strength" rather than partnering with a country that is endlessly involved in wars.

How?

MANPADS, "shoulder-launched" guided missiles, smuggled into the UK, most likely via container cargo ports.

When you have the resources of a state-backed government, made savy to various smuggling techniques and contacts as a result of years operating under the weight of international sanctions, it becomes relatively easy to smuggle virtually anything into virtually anywhere.

Yes.  I hadn't thought of that.

The most important thing just happened.  You can see the dog attached to the tail now.

Now there is a framework for a peace deal underneath the distraction and use of Iran...

"ME Peace" gets a reset to 10/6.  

And its STILL the same deal.

The emerging agreement centered on a massive trilateral exchange:

• For Saudi Arabia: The Saudis sought a formal mutual defense pact with the United States and assistance in developing a civilian nuclear program.
  

• For Israel: The ultimate prize was full normalization of ties with the Arab and Islamic world's most prominent leader, integrating the Israeli state deeply into Middle Eastern economic and security networks.
  

• For the Palestinians: In exchange for Riyadh's recognition of Israel, the deal required significant, irreversible concessions from Israel toward the creation of a Palestinian state, including handing over more control of territory in the West Bank.
  

This is waiting for Netanyahu to be deafeated this Fall.  The Center-Right "Together Party" and "Yasher Party" needs their (non-Likud) coalition to be negotiating on Israel's behalf. A government willing to withdraw in the West Bank and give Arabs (with Saudi Arabia's possible Guardianship) more Old City influence.  

It doesn't need a left-leaning party, but it needs something way closer to that then Netanyahu.

Some might argue that giving the Saudis a nuclear deal is a bit of a piss-take, considering what's expected of the Iranians.

Talk about adding fuel to the fire...

It's a non-starter anyway, as Trump wished them to sign the Abraham Accords.

And the Saudis would never consider doing so without Palestine being recognised as a state...
