Diplomacy By Peddlers

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Trump is making the biggest mistake of his Presidency by allowing one failed, (Witkoff) and one connected (Kushner) real estate peddler to conduct foreign policy in the Middle East.  They have no clue to the mindset of the radical Islamist.  They don’t want money to rebuild their country. They can’t be trusted, they only stall and re-arm.  They lie and promise to compromise only to gain time to strengthen their position.

These two carpetbaggers negotiated the deal of the century with Hamas.  Really?  Now we see the same Barney Fife like mentality exhibited with Iran.  We call it a deal when we stop (supposedly) fighting to talk?  Evidence is clear that Iran has already started re-building some of the previously destroyed missile launching facilities.  We have pictures.   The art of the deal is not the important part, the actual deal is the primary issue.  There is no deal, none that Iran will actually agree to and most certainly none they will abide by.  Marco Rubio, where are you? We need an adult in the room.

We will once again leave a country in the Middle East the same as before.  Nothing changes.  Regime change needs to happen, but who?  The Middle East is a quagmire and always will be.  Age-old customs, rivalries, and religious wars have dominated the region.  I feel for the Iranian people who have been subjected to such horrors over the last 40 years.  Their plight is worthy of much prayer.  There is a revival happening in Iran now!  But can it overcome the evil power embedded in the elite?  Probably not.

The Biblical perspective is Iran will never be completely destroyed, because they play an integral part in prophecy.  Russia, Turkey and Iran will lead an axis of evil to attempt to destroy Israel in the future.  We don’t know exactly when, the Bible only gives us limited information.  We do know it will be at a time that Israel is living in some sort of peace and will seemingly be surprised by the invasion attempt. Peace and safety is the only clue the Almighty gives us in Ezekiel 38.  

God will fight for Israel to make his name known to all the world at that invasion, and then Iran will meet its day of destiny.  It won’t happen in this action, but someday…. Rh

Trump Statement

President Trump:

I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President Donald J. Trump

Interesting, who blinks first?  Obviously Iran needs a deal regardless of what they may put out for public consumption.  Trump has declared to destroy oil infrastructure soon.  Don’t think Trump is bluffing, but obviously complete and total surrender with the US getting all the processed uranium out of Iran might just stop this war.  America has to make sure Iran is defeated and can not develop more nuclear material or work on ballistic missiles.  That should be a given.

Following Trump’s announcement of talks, markets reacted immediately. Oil prices dropped by 8%, but futures rose by 2-3%.

The back and forth continues. Please Trump don’t stop until you have all the objectives accomplished,  Don’t Bush this wart, by stopping too soon and have issues in the future!

  • Fars News Agency quotes an Iranian source: “There are no direct or indirect negotiations with Trump. He backed down after hearing our threats.”  Not sure if true or not, but Iran is notorious for lying about talks and negotiations.  So take it for what it is.
  • Reuters: Washington updated Israel on its talks with Tehran, and Israel is likely expected to follow the US and suspend any attacks on power plants and energy infrastructure in Iran.

Trump on Iran

  • “Well, they’re gonna have to get themselves better public relations people. We’ve had very strong talks. Mr Witkoff and Kushner had them. They went perfectly.” – Trump on Iran denying that any talks happened.
  • Trump: “If we have a deal with Iran, we will go down to the nuclear facilities and take the uranium ourselves”. 
  • We want no enrichment, and we also want the enriched uranium.
  • If this happens, it is a great start for Iran to build itself back.
  • We want the nuclear dust. We’re going to want that, and I think we’re going to get that. 
  • We’ve agreed to that—yeah, we’re going to; we’ve agreed to that.

Well there you have, it if Trump is telling the truth he just doubled down on his requirements to end the war.  I have no reason to doubt him, but….remember Iran is a bunch of lying extremists.  Their religion allows them to lie for the greater good of Islam.  Stay tuned.  Rh
