To precisely no one’s surprise, AIPAC wouldn’t permit the Fake Trump administration to accept the peace deal offered by Iran under the aegis of the Pakistani moderators:
....Iran doesn’t have any problem agreeing to a fight to the death with Israel. That’s a war they know they are going to win. The Israelis presumably believed they could sever Iran from Hezbollah since they’ve been successful dividing the Arabs for 80 years, but Persians are not Arabs and the Iranians have presumably learned from watching Israel methodically divide, conquer, and expand over the decades.
This obvious failure to put American national interests first will rightly kill Republican chances in the mid-terms and cement the complete failure of Trump’s presidency. He’s gone from one of the best presidents in US history to one of the worst, and his legacy will be losing the war that ended US global dominance; his only consolation will be that historians will eventually admit that it wasn’t even him in the White House.
There is no longer even any pretense of the war being against Iran; what is the US national interest in permitting Israel to invade and occupy Lebanon? It will be interesting to see how things proceed now that there is no reason for China and Russia to desist from providing more aid and more active support to Iran and helping the Iranian people decisively win their war against an enemy that has now established itself as the imperialist aggressor in the region.
I didn’t see any real benefit to Iran to agreeing to talk to the US representatives, particularly in light of the outcome of the previous two talks. But what they have managed to achieve through them is proving to the American people that the US government is prioritizing the interests of Israel, and not their own national interests.
