World News: Iran at War
All arrows are pointing to the sign that reads, “Iran is sitting in the Catbird’s seat, for now.
Iran’s strategic position amid ongoing conflicts underscores its central role in regional stability and global politics.
Regardless of the negotiations to end the conflict among the warring tribes of Israel, Iran, and the U.S., the bombings continue.
Iran surprised the entire Middle Eastern region and the U.S. by launching retaliatory strikes against U.S. assets three hours after the U.S. and the Israelis bombed them on February 28.
While deadly missiles rain down from the skies like unwelcome manna, the Israelis continue their public beheadings of any Iranian leaders they can locate.
The celebratory slaughter of Iran’s leaders caused President Trump to quip, “‘There’s no one left to negotiate with.’
One lesson the American Mafia learned from earlier was that murdering a prosecutor on their case was futile.
As soon as you kill one prosecutor, another takes her place.
The roster of those sitting in the Catbird’s seat is endless, as has been shown by the Mafia killing prosecutors.
With each prosecutor that the Mafia killed, the government replaced them and added another charge. And the beat goes on.
On that note, today, former Trump administration four-star General James N. Mattis indirectly threw General Raising Cane a bone.
General Mattis advised Cane that, in a television interview, targeting isn’t strategizing. For example, President Trump announced that the Iranians gave the U.S. “a very big present.”
Iran employed its second strategy by closing the Strait of Hormuz shortly after the Israelis struck it.
That bloodthirsty man never seems to shed enough civilian blood. He gets off on that kind of thing, inflicting misery on humans.
Shortly after President Trump made his announcement about the back-channel agreement, Tehran announced that it was opening the Strait of Hormuz to all “non-hostile” vessels.
About 21 percent of oil ships travel through the Strait of Hormuz.
Since Iran closed the Strait, the price of fuel has gone up more than a dollar in some U.S. cities.
This rapid increase in fuel and fertilizer prices is due to Iran’s restricting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
So, for now, does the control and closing of the Strait put the Iranians in the Catbird’s seat?
Likely, but this move could escalate regional tensions and provoke international responses that shape future stability.
Although this small agreement between Trump and Tehran gives the Iranians a sliver of light at the end of the tunnel, they’re mindful that sliver of light could be a bullet train coming down the track.
Like President and philosopher George W. Bush once said, “Fool me once, shame on you. If you fool me twice, shame on me.” If you fool me a third time, then you’ve fooled.
As reported, the Iranians have rejected President Trump’s 15-point ceasefire proposal.
“Think globally, act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
Embrace the three Constants: change, justice, and rightness.
The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech. If allowed their march to madness, they will arrest your very thoughts.
Free Speech is thy Lord.’
