Grave mistake for Iran to take the truce as the end of hostilities

I think it is a grave mistake for Iran to take the truce as the end of hostilities. It will not be the end of the story, as long as Netanyahu exists. Netanyahu needs wars to continue, in Gaza or with Iran, so that he can remain in office to starve off personal problems that are detrimental to his smugness.
Iran must continue to be vigilant. All it takes is a false flag to ignite the flames and Israel has done it in the past. Everyone knows it. That pre-emptive strike by Israel should be a lesson for Iran. Netanyahu's intention was to prevent another nuclear treaty between USA and Iran.

Forget about the mantra that Iran is five months away from making a bomb, a narrative that the Israelis had been shouting over the last 40 years. That nuclear treaty brokered by Barack Obama in 2015, honored by Iran, prevented the Israelis from destroying Iran's nuclear sites, a mindset that the Israelis had harbored for 40 years. Trump, the violin by Netanyahu's side, was conned into tearing up the treaty during his first term, all because it was brokered by Barrack Obama.

Trump was trying to renegotiate with Iran (true or fake) but fell at the doorstep of the meeting room, sabotaged by the Israelis. But whether that was just an act out of collusion is open to speculation.

Now Trump is even saying that China can continue to buy Iranian oil. He wants to take credit for everything happening around the world. But he will blame everything wrong on poor Joe Biden, who probably must be wondering why Trump is using him as a human shield for everything wrong. Thanks to his dementia, Joe will still be able to sleep like a baby, despite all the brickbats thrown at him by Trump.

Oh, about China being able to buy Iranian oil, that should also be a lesson for China to continue to be at least less dependent on energy from the Middle East, just in case. What does not kill China will make it stronger. This is one lesson to be learnt and not to be forgotten.
