Events are moving very quickly. Almost as soon as I finished last night's "confession" livestream the news broke thatIsrael
and Iran had
agreed to a ceasefire. Once again I didn't hear the news until the morning and
when I did I gasped. Surely this couldn't be possible considering the terrible
escalation on both sides, plus the revolting and disappointing American
intervention. The missile attack on the US Al Udeid base in Qatar
was exactly what I was afraid would happen and I expected to wake up to news of
more exchanges of fire between US and Iranian forces. Instead President Trump
had announced that there was now a "complete and total" ceasefire.
This would hopefully lead to a restart of negotiations and ultimately an end to
the war. This looked above board, with Iranian state media boasting that they
had "imposed it on the enemy" and Israel
going along contingent on no further Iranian attacks. Yet literally within
hours both sides began accusing the other of breaking the ceasefire and
announcing retaliatory action. Israel
claimed Iran
carried out a deadly strike in Beersheba
that killed four people. Iran
denied this and said they had not opened fire at all after the time the ceasefire
came into effect. Iran
accused Israel
of striking a radar complex near Tehran
in violation of the truce. I think the problem might be that nobody is
currently running Iran
at the moment. The Islamic Republican authorities have fled the capital,
according to many need reports. If the ceasefire was broken it was probably
because a military staff member decided to without authorization. Alternatively
Israel might
have initiated the renewed hostilities to take advantage of Iran 's
interregnum. Trump was so frustrated by this that he broke a political taboo
and swore at some news reporters. "They don't know what the fuck they're
doing!" he grumbled. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFZPbT0rn8E.
Trump's loss of composure is out of character, but maybe he deserves it for
breaking his promise to everybody who voted for him by meddling in a foreign
regional conflict. The fact that he managed to get the two sides to shake hands
informally with their fingers crossed behind their backs is not good enough to
redeem him. Could the US
president do anything that could persuade me to reboard the Trump train? Yes,
of course; but he would really have to start delivering significantly. As I
said in the livestream, he would have to expose the truth about the corruption
in past US
interference and take legal action against those responsible. He would also
have to pledge that this was a turning point in American foreign policy and
that such trite and derivative presidential decisions are over for good. This
was a part of his election campaign after all.
