this retired cia employee has a more accurate view of the 'peace talks' than most i've seen; 

 

During my most recent appearance on Judge Napolitano’s Judging Freedom on Wednesday I expressed the view that the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was a scam designed to support Israeli interests in the region and to give both Tel Aviv and the White House breathing room to prepare for the next major assault on Iran. I based my judgment on several aspects of the story being circulated by the White House and the tame media. First of all, it is being suggested that the US acceptance of the proposal for a ceasefire put forward by Iran through mediators in Pakistan was arrived at without discussions with Israel. In other words, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had no preview of it nor hand in it.

This defies all the history of the relationship between the US and Jewish state preceding the agreement, if that is truly what it was. Up until now, Donald Trump, like his predecessor Joe Biden, has been the “most loyal accomplice” of Israel up to and including that country’s war crimes, never using the considerable leverage the US has to ever contest or block anything Israel does no matter even if it is doing serious collateral damage to the United States or US interests. In that context, one might cite how there have been ceasefires in Lebanon, Syria and with Gaza, all of which had the US as an implementer or guarantor, which Israel immediately violated, just as it is doing right now in all those locations as well as with Iran. When Israel defies what has been agreed upon, Trump says nothing, which suggests that this latest ceasefire was all a clever contrivance by Israel and the US behind the scenes to create a pause in a war that is going badly to permit renewal of fighting possibly as soon as the “two weeks” term of the ceasefire expires without anything more substantive to replace it. To my surprise the agreement did not last even twenty-four hours before Israel chose to stage a devastating attack on Lebanon which killed as many as three hundred civilians and destroyed residential neighborhoods. There should be no doubt but that the Israelis staged the attack to disrupt any movement towards a cease fire or peace arrangement with the Persians.............more........
