There are reports, according to Dr.David Oualaalou, that Gulf countries are putting together a plan to pull out their investments in the USA, which is giving USA leaders the shakes. Trump is just being made aware that the Gulf countries are not happy with the war which they did not support and were not even consulted but just shafted down their throats, causing extensive damage to their infrastructures and oil and gas fields. Had Trump gone ahead with striking Iran's power plants, the consequence for Gulf countries will be catastrophic.
Besides retaliation against power plants and desalination plants in the Gulf if Trump goes ahead according to his ultimatum, Iran has warned of mining the Persian Gulf as well, which will crash the global economy. Even now, the damage is severe, with repairs needing to take years. That will keep oil prices high for a long time in coming.

Trump wakes up every morning and talks to himself in front of the mirror that Iran is begging for a negotiation. Someone in the USA is now asking who from Iran is negotiating with Trump? Iran has learnt very important lessons about keeping up the pressure by bombing Israel and Gulf assets, even amidst all the talk of fake negotiations going on.
ReplyDeletePakistan just put forward a proposal to act as mediator, which Trump probably twisted into a knot by claiming that Iran, having been sounded by Pakistan, is begging for a negotiated ending of the war. That indicates no one else is negotiating and only happening in Trump's deluded mind.
Iran has put forward five demands to end the war, while the USA has put forward 15 proposals on its side. Both sides are unlikely to acquiesce over each other's demands. This is moving into the same situation as in Ukraine, with very close deals touted but that were never closed, like seven eleven stores.
While Trump is fixated on inventing lies about very nice negotiations being conducted, Pete Hegseth is throwing gasoline into the fire by boasting that USA will negotiate with bombs. That is not what a Secretary of War is supposed to say. Only the USA's gangster and mafia leaders talk in this way - uncouth, unruly, crude and lack of diplomacy.
Trump is now even insinuating that out of goodwill; Iran has allowed ten tankers to depart the Persian Gulf. Those are probably tankers from countries like Malaysia that have been given permission by Iran to leave the Persian Gulf unmolested. Many countries are now negotiating with Iran to do the same. It has nothing to do with goodwill towards the USA.
Oh, by the way, Trump is now insulting Kier Starmer, right in his silly face, about the 'toy' aircraft carriers that the Brits are sending to help in the war. He told Starmer that he does not need the Brits help. While begging other allies to send help, he is basically telling the Brits to get out of sight. That must be the most shameful insult for the Brits.
The Brits should realize that it is now a toothless tiger trying to show the world that it can still bite. The Brits cannot even fool a spoilt D-grader like Trump and wants to wear big shoes by setting an example for other NATO countries to follow. It was a disaster. The Brits should just fade away into the limelight in order not to elicit more shame.
Does the USA have the bombs, knowing that it is scrapping the bottom of the barrel and already moving interceptor batteries around. Pete Hegseth is making empty boast in his drunken state.
ReplyDeleteThey have the smelliest fart which can be a weapon. It caused the crash of the Air Canada jet at La Guardia.
DeleteThis is the latest weapon in the armoury ofUS.
Iran is a member of BRICS. Iran is now helping BRICS to de-dollarize faster than ever. Any country buying Iranian oil has to pay in Yuan. Iran has also set up a toll booth that ships passing the Straits of Hormuz have to pay a toll, and in Yuan.
ReplyDeleteNo other country has done more than what Iran did for China and BRICS. The 'I' in BRICS should rightly be represented by Iran, not some back biting, untrustworthy and double-headed snake. Why shouldn't China be helping Iran, may I ask?
