War Won

~ Clarissa

Of course, as soon as I gave my interview, the war with Iran was won, making my interview outdated before it had a chance to come out.

It’s great news otherwise. Let’s celebrate. Yay to us.

    1. The Strait of Hormuz is reopened, there’s a ceasefire and a peace plan. The nuclear destruction of 93 million Iranians that Tucker announced the other day didn’t materialize. He must be devastated.

  4. Really brilliant. Your dear leader killed 200 school girls, had to ease sanctions against Iran and Russia therby helping both of those wonderfuls regimes, killed some old Iranian mullahs who were replaced by younger Iranian mullahs, which is fantastic prograss, he showed Iran how much leverage they have by stopping traffic through the strait of Hormuz and did not manage to end the nuclear program. And now he agreed to a ceasefire which gives him absolutely nothing that he did not have before he started that idiotic war. But this is a fantastic win, yes, you must be tired, or maybe already deeply asleep from all this winning.

  5. \\ The Strait of Hormuz is reopened

    [in the official Iranian statement] “For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations,” 
    …
    Claiming victory, Iran said the talks, which may last up to 15 days and can be extended by agreement, aim to finalize details of its 10-point proposal, which calls for “continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of enrichment, lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions.”

    Other key demands in the 10-point blueprint, offered through mediators in Pakistan, include US military withdrawal from the Middle East, an end to attacks on Iran and its allies, the release of frozen Iranian assets and a UN Security Council resolution making any deal binding.
    …
    Several hours after Trump’s initial announcement, Netanyahu’s office issued a statement welcoming the ceasefire, while stressing that it does not cover Lebanon despite Pakistani mediators’ claims to the contrary.

    [A senior Israeli official] said the two-week ceasefire allows both Iran and Oman to charge fees on ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, with the Islamic Republic to use the money for reconstruction. The strait, which is in the territorial waters of both Oman and Iran, is considered an international waterway and tolls have never been paid before to pass through it. There were also no “technical limitations” in place as Iran said there will now be prior to the war, when over 100 ships a day passed through as part of a decades-old traffic system.

  6. I don’t think he is right and believe Trump does want to end this war, but it’s an important point nevertheless:

    A detail that’s not being discussed.

    By concluding a temporary ceasefire, Trump has, in effect, “renewed” his own war timeline.

    According to the US Constitution, the US president cannot conduct military action without Congressional approval for more than two months. In the case of Trump and Iran, that deadline was set to expire on April 28 – very soon. Going to Congress for an “extension” would have been a serious test and political challenge for Trump, given the unpopularity of this military campaign within the US.

    However, now, if hostilities resume (which is highly likely), the two-month period during which Trump can make unilateral decisions on the conduct of the war will begin to run from scratch.
