Description:
Shaky truces are in place in Lebanon and Iran as the belligerents plot their next moves. Can an uncertain war become a certain peace? Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter this week on The World This Week.
Just two days after Iran responded to a ceasefire in Lebanon by “completely” opening the Strait of Hormuz – prompting Donald Trump to declare the war all but over and himself luicrously as the victor – Iran's military said today they are reimposing control over the strait until the U.S. ends its blockade of Iranian ports, as ineffective as it may be.
What happens now in this uncertain war? (apologies to Tacitus) Benjamin Netanyahu is unhappy with both ceasefires and the Israeli public is behind him. They want more war.
Trump is acting all tough with the Netanyahu. On social media. He wrote: “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT.”
But what is his word worth when he faces Netanyahu behind closed doors?
It seems unlikely more war will produce a better result for Trump and Netanyahu.
An objective assessment shows that none of Trump’s and Netanyahu’s war aims were met in 40 days of war: the Iranian government was not overthrown, its ballistic missiles are still intact, Tehran maintains relationships with its regional allies, it continues to enrich uranium and still maintains its 6o percent stockpile.
This unnecessary, unprovoked war of aggression may come down to whether the U.S. and Israel can find a way to gracefully accept defeat. Otherwise we may just see a total war of revenge for losing.
