A five-day ‘pause’ allows Gulf nations to find dwindling air defences, buys Iran’s decentralised military system respite and gives Trump the chance to reflect on how to get out of a quagmire Tehran prepared for him, writes world affairs editor Sam Kiley
Iran needs to demand Joe Kent be the US negotiator instead of Mossad agents Witkoff+Kushner, because they will certainly bs through/sabotage negotiations for Israel. No one in Iran has said they have heard of any negotiations/offers from US so far.
Latest move is most likely a Trump bluff to start negotiations, fundamentally ready to accept Iran terms. Israel sabotage attempts are a certainty.
