Brief: Will diplomacy work between US and Iran before elections? | The Take

President Trump`s political opponents badly acted outrage over the threats he made to the Iranian leaders at the time was ridiculous. Iranian leaders did not in reality negotiate. They played time. President Trump`s message about ending their civilization was a warning for the Iranian leaders in a language that they understand: start negotiating in good faith, or.... . That Trump`s warning started the negotiations.
<br>
<br>President Macron, PM Keir Starmer and too many European leaders with them were unwilling and/or unable to realize that Russia and China are fighting together against them and against their countries in the Middle East. And that Russia and China do that both through Iran and through its proxies.They were also in reality protecting Hezbollah at the cost of all ordinary Lebanese people. Were they really too stupid to understand that Hezbollah is an internationally recognized terrorist organization and Iran`s proxy?
<br>
<br>There is something terribly wrong with those Western leaders who refuse to &quot;understand&quot; that the US and Israel are finally putting a stop to decades of blackmailing and violence that the Iranian leaders and their proxies have been guilty of.That same ignorance and stupidity applies practically to the whole international mainstream media. The Iranian leaders are still blackmailing the whole world. And practically the whole international mainstream media still talks more about how terrible President Trump is when he demands the Iranian leaders to stop that. The international mainstream media has lost both their focus and their ability to logical thinking, totally.
<br>
<br>And so have too many Western leaders. President Trump demanding the Iranian leaders to open the Strait of Hormuz has been worse in their empty heads than the Iranian leaders blackmailing the whole world by closing it and by attacking all their neighbors. The fact of the matter is that none of the violence in Lebanon would have happened if Hezbollah would have not been able to act in Lebanon. And that same applies to Hamas and Gaza.
<br>
<br>Opening the Strait Of Hormuz with a deal that would leave Hezbollah active and in power in Lebanon, as the Iranian leaders continue to demand, would be a really bad deal also for Lebanon. Iran, Russia and China try to protect Hezbollah in Lebanon. And they are doing it knowingly at the cost of all ordinary Lebanese people. Too many Western are still not willing to realize that either.
<br>
<br>The Iranian leaders have been playing their violent and harmful games for close to 50 years. They have played it against all their neighbours, against the US, against Israel, against the whole West and in reality against all other countries- and even against their own people. It is high time to finally end that, instead of crying over the gazoline prizes. That is only temporary. All those who are using the gazoline prizes against President Trump are in reality playing for the cruel Iranian leaders and for their cruel proxies.

Gaza and West Bank can become Isreali provinces and Palestinians should get Isreali citizenship in united Israel. They can live together in peace or destroy each other with rockets <br><br><br>Iran and USA should cooperate and settle their differences diplomatically and avoid war at all costs <br><br>Iran can keep civilian nuclear program if they want but shouldn&#39;t build nuclear weapons <br><br>Sanctions from Iran should be lifted so Iran can do business and sell it&#39;s oil in the world market <br><br>Iran and Israel don&#39;t share any kind of border and should stay out of each other&#39;s business

As an Iranian, I can say that if Trump initiates any attack, Iran will drive the price of a barrel of oil up to $200. If Trump thinks rationally—and stops listening to Netanyahu—he will realize that attacking Iran was the single biggest mistake he made; he had assumed the war would be over in two weeks.
