Israeli attacks, occupation in Lebanon violate MOU, Araghchi says

Speaking at a meeting with foreign diplomats in Tehran, Araghchi said Iran will view any military attack on Lebanon by Israel and the continuation of its occupation as a "violation of the MOU."

So, the MoU is already essentially null & void.  Until Israel leaves Lebanon, there is no reason for the Iranians to fulfill any of the promises they have made on their side of the deal.  So far as Hormuz being open, it may be but you still gotta pay a toll.  So will any sanctions be lifted or money released?  No, not as long as the Iranians are charging a toll.  Will they start discussing the Nuke issue?  Nope, because the other shit has to be resolved first.

IOW, the MoU is about as meaningful as the ceasefire.  Nothing has changed.  Just a few less bombs dropping, mainly because they are running out of ammo,

G7 leaders — and the rest of the world — wait for clarity on US-Iran agreement

After almost two hours, the sun had nearly set. Despite a “frank” and in-depth conversation on the agreement, at least some of the leaders walked away from the custom-built dinner pavilion just as mystified about the details of the plan as they were walking in, according to two officials familiar with the matter.

Days after Trump applied his electronic signature to the agreement, the exact terms of the pact remain known to only a few. Neither side has published the one-and-a-half page text that was formalized in the virtual signing Sunday, leading to sometimes contradictory statements from Washington and Tehran. Even officials inside Trump's government offered slightly different takes on how the plan would work.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

True that. But Iran is expecting accountability, and making a deal with the US from their point of view weakens Israel.  The rub is that Iran is expecting America to force Israel to fall in line.  That is where things break down.

Citrinowicz* further noted that if an agreement between Tehran and Washington is finalized, Israel will face a strategic reality it cannot alter. He argued that the U.S. administration has little appetite for returning to military confrontation with Iran, a position that enjoys considerable support across the American political establishment.

Israel and Iran harden stances on Lebanon pullout, risking Trump’s deal

Iranian official says MOU will be void if IDF does not fully withdraw, while source near PM vows not to back down; army posts fresh map of buffer zone, says troops will remain.

You heard it here first!  As I said, the deal is meaningless as long as Israel has troops in Lebanon.  The Iranians don't have to do anything until that happens, they can just sip Margueritas.  Of course they knew Bibi wouldn't pull out, it's Political Suicide for him in Israel.

What will this mean as far as Hormuz is concerned?  Well, they WANT it open, because they HAVE to sell their Oil, otherwise they'll have to shut down wells.  They're out of storage space.  Chump wants it open, otherwise we get a Global Recession (which is probably already baked in the cake anyhow).  However, there won't be any negotiation on the Nuke issue.

I wonder how many ships have actually sailed thru since the signing?  No newz on that yet

Lebanon says Israel has carried out a wave of fresh strikes, killing at least five people

On Friday, Israel's national security minister said "all of Lebanon must burn" after the Israeli military reported that four of its soldiers had been killed in the south of the country.  "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote on social media.

They really need to STOP using the word "CEASEFIRE".  It has completely lost any meaning whatsoever.  Even putting it in quotes doesn't fix the damage done to this word.  Webster's or Oxford or needs to sue.

Supposedly Witicoff flew out this morning to negotiate, which guarantees nothing will get done.  He couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

Iran says it's closing Strait of Hormuz again as Hezbollah and Israel trade attacks

The Strait of Hormuz will be closed again, Iran said Saturday, after accusing the U.S. and Israel of violating the memorandum of understanding by Israeli troops not withdrawing from southern Lebanon.

Back to Square 1.

What effect did this have on Oil Prices?  Practically none.  Oil still trading at $76.  What does that tell you?  What it tells me is that Demand Destruction has already set in.  Everybody who can't afford over $80/bbl has dropped out of the buyers market.  Thus, even with Hormuz closed, there is plenty of oil available for buyers at $76.

The problem of course is that even for economies that can afford the current price, it's taking money out of Konsumer pockets they would have used to buy other things, like new carz and toys for the kids and vacations.  Thus economies slow down, biznesses lose customers, jobs are lost, recession sets in.

What's Chump's next move?  Politically, I'd say he HAS to sanction Israel.  He's gotta prove "he's the BOSS".  What sanction would bite hard enough?  I'd say no more Patriot missiles for defense.  Israel would be a sitting duck for Hezbollah missile attacks.  Will he have the balls for that?  Probably not.

I wrote earlier that Trump needs to keep the war going.  The challenge for Trump is that his ability to keep the chaos that he generates by existing, and which he needs like air to stay alive manageable is not possible.  Trump grabbed a tiger by the tail and can't let go.  The minute he lets go the Epstein files bite him.  Never have things been more out of control for Chump, so he needs chaos like a dying man in a desert needs water.

Did Epstein give Israel pictures of Trump with his cock inside a little girls mouth through his Mossad connections.

Or not.

Did Epstein have Mossad connections?  Did Epstein like money?  Did Epstein have pictures of Trump with his cock inside a little girl's mouth?

To construct a statement using Aristotelian logic that establishes Trump is compromised by Israel we must proceed with a logical deduction.

Assumption 1 (Major premise): Epstein had connections to Israel, specifically to Israeli intelligence services.
   
Assumption 2 (Minor premise): Epstein had pictures of Trump with his cock inside a little girl's mouth.
   
Conclusion: If Epstein, had connections to Israeli intelligence services, and had compromising pictures of Trump, it logically follows that Trump is compromised by Israel through these connections. 

Money being the prime mover.

It's definitely no coinkidink that Chump started the war right when the heat was turning back up on Epstein.  If Mossad does have Pics or other evidence of his sexual escapades with Jailbait Escorts though, this would be about the  time to leak them.  Problem of course is Chump has the MSM so intimidated even if they get a 250 GB hard drive delivered by FedEx to the editors of the NYT, WaPo and Faux Newz complete with .mov files featuring The Donald's best Money Shots after the Bethesda Junior High Homecoming game they won't make it out of the office.  Even Wikileaks is pathetic these days in terms of getting any real information out of the Black Hole of the FSoA 4th Estate.

I do agree though that eventually His Trumpness will succumb to his own incompetence and Entropy will win the day.  So many things are spinning out of control now it can't be contained and covered up with perpetual lies.  We just need to be patient and he will hang himself.
