Joe Kent goes to the heart of the matter: Without addressing America's imbalanced relationship with Israel, the current war won't end and a deal with Tehran cannot be found. "The main issue is that the Israelis are out of control, and they are driving this entire war."

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Even short of war, the ceasefire is putting too much pressure on the US economy and the GOP's political prospects. And Iran needs to translate the outcome of the war into much-needed sanctions relief. Both will lose if a deal is missed.

Told @AJE that the US's strategic defeat against Iran also raises questions about the sustainability of American primacy, not just in the Middle East, but globally. Iran has done to the US what Ukraine did to Russia.

It would be bizarre if the US went to Islamabad insisting on zero enrichment, knowing Tehran would never accept it. Indeed, if the nuclear issue were truly the focus, it could never be agreed upon in a single round of talks, given its technical complexities.

Told @AJEnglish that both Iran and the US believe that another round of fighting will give them an edge in subsequent talks. But when both sides believe this, the gravitational pull toward conflict becomes dangerously strong — however irrational it may be.

Whatever was left of the "West's" moral standing and credibility was destroyed here, in Gaza. Gaza will be rebuilt, but it will take a Herculean effort to rebuild the standing of the West.

Told @AJEnglish that the Israelis are driving this war right now, and Trump must retake control of it because Israel's interest diverges from that of the US. Israel wants to prolong the war to degrade Iran's industrial base - regardless of the cost to the global economy.

This is the moment Israeli forces hand over a small Palestinian child to the Red Cross The Israelis had reportedly tortured him by extinguishing cigarettes (!) on his tiny body in front of his father in order to extract confessions Israel is doing this with American tax money

Told Steve Bannon that the manner in which Israel and Trump have conducted the war on Iran has left most of the population increasingly convinced that it's a war on Iran, not a war on the theocracy. This cannot be reversed - rather, Trump should just end the war.

Part of my debate with Matt Kroenig as to whether Trump's Iran war is legitimate: KROENIG: "The US is being a responsible power following the law of armed conflict and only going after legitimate military targets." PARSI: “Does that include the girl's school in which 165 children were killed?”

May 18, 1999: Allan Houston finishes the New York fast break with a slam in Game 1 of the ECSF. Houston scored 34 PTS (13-20 FG) and Latrell Sprewell added 31 PTS off the bench in a 100-92 Knicks win. Steve Smith scored 25 PTS and Chris Crawford had 26 PTS for the Atlanta Hawks.

This is how the Israeli minister Ben-Gvir is treating the European hostages Israel kidnapped in International Waters. Where is the outrage? Our Media and Politicians are owned, get them OUT.

Crypto money is now trying to buy this election. This is the problem with money in politics. When powerful interests think a real grassroots campaign might actually win, they try to drown it out with outside spending & attacks. But they can’t outspend people power if we organize hard enough. 1/2

The arch Thatcherite politics of Reform UK including their fossil energy security politics are nothing but an intensification of the status quo
