Trump halts Armageddon for 10 days to negotiate what he calls a workable Iran's 10-point plan.

“Have you looked at Iran’s plan? It reads like a Tehran wish list from before the war, calling for a global recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium, the removal of all American forces from the region and a lifting of economic sanctions. And it calls for the payment of reparations to Iran for damage caused in the war,” said Richard Fontaine, the chief executive of the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank.

“Iran remains in the control of the Strait, which was not the case before the war,” said Fontaine. “I find it hard to believe that the United States and the world could accept a situation in which Iran remains in control of a key energy checkpoint indefinitely. That would be a materially worse outcome than existed before the war.”

The IRGC is locked and loaded waiting for Trump's and Netanyahu's next treacherous move.

So why does the US an Israel have the right to destroy Iran? Serious question. Please give a reasoned response.

@hippyjoe1955 The wish is mutual between Israel and Iran, and Iran's government is undoubtedly nasty; but neither has right to destroy the other.

The USA's intervention probably has more to do with perceived advantages to the USA than anything else, and has not given any clear reason for wading in all guns blazing. It is Israel's main ally in the world but I don't think the US government has offered helping Israel as a reason.

Really, tensions between Iran, Palestine and Israel has been simmering ever since Israel as a distinct territory was carved out of Palestine in very unpleasant circumstances in the late 1940s. Its expansionist activities in recent decades have worsened the tension; and Iran is ready and willing to back the brigand groups like Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel.

None of the three countries - Iran, Israel and the USA - will come out of this war with any credit, or any real sense of "victory".

Whatever the outcome, and whenever that may be, the real vanquished will be the ordinary citizens of Israel, Palestine, Iran and Lebanon.
