Donald Trump Announces Iran Deal Has Been “Largely Negotiated”

The Iran War has allegedly been postponed for two months.

Axios:

“The agreement the U.S. and Iran are close to signing involves a 60-day ceasefire extension during which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Iran would be able to freely sell oil, and negotiations would be held on curbing Iran’s nuclear program, according to a U.S. official.

Why it matters: The deal would avoid an escalation of the war and decrease the pressure on the global oil supply. However, it’s unclear whether it will lead to a lasting peace agreement that also addresses President Trump’s nuclear demands.

State of play: Both Trump and the mediators have indicated the deal could be announced on Sunday, though it has not been finalized and could still fall apart. …”

My thoughts:

1. As we head into the summer, anything that brings down gas prices and inflation is good news, even if it is only a temporary respite. Gas prices normally go up anyway in the summer.

2. Even if the war is only temporarily paused, anything on Iran that upsets the likes of Mark Levin, Mark Dubowitz, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham is good news.

3. Obviously, I don’t support high gas prices and higher inflation because I subscribe to any “worse is better” theory of politics. Everyone is tired of paying the Israel Tax.

4. They all told us last summer that the war was over after Operation Midnight Boomer destroyed Iran’s nuclear program. Israel went to work on Trump and pressured him into restarting the war. They ultimately succeeded in dragging us back into it in February. The same thing will likely happen again.

5. Undoubtedly, the extension of the ceasefire is about pivoting to the midterms and trying to mitigate the catastrophic damage that Trump has done to his own political standing.

6. Republican senators like Ted Cruz, Roger Wicker and Lindsey Graham are upset that the war has been paused. These people want to drag us back into it. They are the only people in the country who want this. I definitely won’t forget that in November when I vote to remove them from office.

7. Finally, you could say that the finger pointing and the blame game for this disaster has already begun in what is left of the GOP. Maybe we don’t even have to wait for the midterms.
