I explained on @cnn that Lebanon may be the real sticking point, since Iran demands Israel end the bombardment of that country. “For the Iranians, this is a test to see whether the United States is capable of controlling and reining in Israel.”

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 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.
Trump cannot escalate his war out of this war because Iran can inflict costly counterescalation. If Iran destroys the regional oil infrastructure, oil prices will shoot through the roof in an enduring way and cause global economic depression. The only way out is de-escalatory.
Perhaps the most important thing @joekent16jan19 told @TuckerCarlson is that the deal to end the war will necessitate some sanctions relief for Tehran - and that it lies in the US's economic interest to lift sanctions:
Stunning lyrics by Siba Alkhiami, a German-based artist, against Israel's repression of Palestinians.
In this extremely sensitive stage of the talks, the last thing needed - beyond the exchange of fire - is rhetoric that pours more fuel on the fire. During the campaign, Trump showed great message discipline on Iran; that's what he needs to do now, instead of the below:
Spoke to @owenjonesjourno about how Trump has already lost control over the war and that increasingly desperate measures are being considered as a result. In comparison, the Iraq war plan didn't go off the rails until August 2003.
Told @cnn that Iran wasn't pursuing a nuclear weapon according to US intelligence services before the war, but the war may dramatically incentivize them to go in that direction if a deal is not reached.
Just as in Gaza, the US is lifting the constraints on how Israel can use American bombs. As a result, Israel uses 2,000lb bombs to strike densely populated areas in Tehran. So, we are now seeing Gaza-style images of civilians and children being killed en masse in Iran.
