Why Hasn't The US Reimposed The Hormuz Blockade Against Iran

Why the Iran-US ceasefire is falling apart | The Bottom Line

Neither Iran nor the United States seems able to deliver a “knockout blow at an acceptable price” to the other side, and both know “they have no choice other than engaging in diplomacy”, but they’re not ready to make uncomfortable concessions, argues Ali Vaez, director of the Iran Project at International Crisis Group. Vaez tells host Steve Clemons that Tehran and Washington are trying to “enforce their own interpretation” of the ceasefire agreement they signed last month. President Trump has become “frustrated” with diplomacy because he’s not seeing “the kind of quick results that he likes to see”, Vaez says. #iran #unitedstates #iranwar #ceasefire #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish

Iran’s ‘new nuclear weapon’: Weaponised geography in Strait of Hormuz

Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the terms of the US peace talks with Iran are going to be “incredibly difficult” to negotiate. “I’m reminded of what the Taliban said, in reference to American efforts in Afghanistan. You have the clock; the Taliban said, we have the time,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “We’re not going back to February 27 when 20 per cent of global oil supply flowed. It’s not going to be free and unfettered anymore. “That is the new Iranian nuclear weapon. They’ve weaponised geography, and they’ve done it with a terrifying clarity and impact.”

DANGER!The U.S.

DANGER!The U.S. is quietly making massive concessions to Iran.
