peace in our time. yeah. sounds familiar; 

 

There has been a dramatic and noticeable shift in Donald Trump’s rhetoric and social media posts regarding Iran since Pepe and I received the report of Iran’s threat to do a demonstration detonation of a nuclear warhead if the US does not cease its attacks on Iran. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Iran is still willing to negotiate a peaceful end to the war with the US and Israel but is insisting that the US end its blockade, stop its attacks on Iranian vessels, and halt the Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

In the latest news we received from the Pakistani source, Pakistani officials are expressing optimism that they will be able to broker a deal between the US and Iran that will culminate in a meeting between Donald Trump and Iran’s President, Masoud Pezeshkian, in Islamabad, Pakistan within the next 40 days. Here’s the raw intelligence:

Trump’s inner circle — including Trump himself — and the Iranian leadership have reached a deal to end the war in the Persian Gulf. Pakistan, with China’s full weight behind the curtain and a direct personal endorsement from Putin, brokered it. The announcement is expected within days. Hostilities end immediately.

Trump travels to Islamabad. Signs the Islamabad Accord with the Iranian President on Pakistani soil.

Please remember that I am reporting what the Pakistani source is saying… I am not claiming that I agree. That said, I am confident that the source sincerely believes that Pakistan will succeed in brokering a deal with the US and Iran. I am less sanguine. The specifics of the deal reveal some major potential obstacles. The biggest stumbling block is that the US is supposed to get Israel to end its attacks in Lebanon and withdraw its forces. Second, Iran must convince Hezbollah to end its military operations. I have strong doubts that either side will accomplish those objectives............more..........
