Why sanctions relief is an essential part from Tehran's standpoint that helps ensure that the war truly ends and that Iran doesn't get attacked again in 6-8 months. It's what gives a non-aggression pact a degree of credibility. I suspect this will be non-negotiable for Tehran.

There is still an off-ramp available to Trump, but it will require a compromise, including sanctions relief for Iran. There are ways Trump can do this that will serve US interest. But if he goes in with ground troops, the opportunity will likely be lost.

Told @chrislhayes that while the GCCC states are infuriated with Iran, their reliance on the American security umbrella has not granted them security, but rather made them the targets. As a result, after this war, they will likely rethink their complete reliance on the US.
In times of crises, some nations shrink, others rise. Not through force, but through wisdom Germany & much of Europe are shrinking Qatar is rising Despite being betrayed by the US & struck by Iran, Qatar speaks with wisdom, not anger. It looks to paths for peace, not revenge.
An entirely new security equation will be needed after this war. Won't be easy. GCC dependency on the US is partly why they're in this dire situation. Finding a new relationship with Iran will be difficult, given Iran's attacks. But there is no other way: geography is permanent.
I was asked by @NewsNation about Merz's comments, and I told them that the Chancellor may have said it, but most world leaders think it. Because Trump didn't have a plan B, the war has created a mess, and other countries are suffering economically far more than the US is.
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.
Israeli minister Ben Gvir says Trump's deal with Iran is "bad for Israel" and that Israel will not "allow" it. Let that sink in. And remember this clip next time someone claims that a factual conversation about the Israeli government's influence in DC is off-limits...
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.
Trump had time on his side during the ceasefire - until he imposed the blockade per the recommendation of FDD, Israel, and Lindsey Graham. Though the blockade is hurting Iran, it has ended up hurting Trump more, with oil prices now exceeding where they were even during the war itself.

After another hard day of doing nothing to improve the lives of Americans, and burning through billions of dollars on an unprovoked war in #Iran, it's time for a nap.
We see it in Ukraine, Iran, and Gaza; cities are crucial military objectives. With dense populations and critical infrastructure, they are the decisive terrain of modern conflict. My guest today is John Spencer. John and I discuss the evolution of urban warfare in Ukraine.

The term “genocide” is a political slogan, not a proven legal judgment. The International Court of Justice has not declared Israel guilty of genocide, and no credible tribunal has issued such a verdict. The ICJ, World Court in The Hague, did not decide that the claim of genocide is plausible.
