To end the war now, Trump should simply announce- “I’ve taken out the regime’s top men and destroyed their navy and air force, so as far as I’m concerned my objectives are met and the war is over, so there’s no reason for them to keep Hormuz strait closed, the ball is now in their court”.
The naval blockade…the names involved(Jewish, Israel-firsters & deep-staters) should be a sign that it is all going to hell and the fact that the rag (FreePress) carried this, should be saying just as much. Zelikow (9/11 commission) couldn’t come up with anything other than what benefits Israel….to say nothing of Haass

Ahead of crucial talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad this weekend, Niall Ferguson, Philip Zelikow, and Richard N. Haass urge the US and allied partners to take steps to ensure the free flow of goods, principally oil and gas, through the Strait of Hormuz. To do so, they suggest a “military undertaking” to demonstrate to Iran that the US is willing to use force to facilitate maritime transit through the strait. Next, they suggest a tacit arrangement with Iran, similar to the Black Sea grain export understanding between Russia and Ukraine, to get ships moving. Third, they propose a new multilateral organization to codify and enforce terms of open navigation of the strait. “For the US and its friends, since there is no good way to minimize the economic costs of the war, they may as well develop a strategy that charts a new course through the storm—and envisions a safer and more stable harbor on the other side,” the authors conclude.
This NYT piece was published on the 25th of March….long before the ceasefire and i think it is an indication of the long-range planning for the Iran war in the event that Iran closed the Strait. Again, the people who planned this have no interest in opening the Strait because it’s closure opens the door to the restructuring of the world…politically, socially & economically.

In this article we subject these basic assumptions to scrutiny by examining the intellectual accomplishments and capacity of leading figures on both sides.
We show that Iran’s leadership is far more sophisticated, intelligent, literate and accomplished than Trump’s United States.

“The original ending of Syriana was George Bush going into Congress and i was going to use the actual footage from the Iraq War declaration and he’s going to declare war on Iran. Inotherwords, the end of the movie would be the president of the US declaring war on Iran.
Okay 2003, this goes up the flagpole with the studio & the producers and everyone is like you’re insane…there isn’t going to be a war…Meanwhile my no.1 cohort & source for all this stuff is the ex-Iraq bureau chief…so all his pals are Iran hands. They all said to me, from the first moment of research on Syriana - Iraq is a sideshow” ~Stephen Gaghan

UN experts condemn Israel’s unprecedented bombing in Lebanon after ceasefire announcement, demand immediate halt to hostilities
15 April 2026
GENEVA — UN experts* today condemned Israel’s illegal aggression and indiscriminate bombing campaign against Lebanon on 8 April, only hours after a ceasefire agreement was brokered by Pakistan between the United States and Iran.
“We are witnessing the continuing utmost contempt for the international legal order, for diplomacy, and above all for the lives of civilians and the environment in Lebanon,” the independent experts said. “Israel has chosen the very moment a ceasefire was announced – one that its Pakistani mediator stated included Lebanon – to unleash the largest coordinated wave of strikes on the country since 1980.”
“This is not self-defence. It is a blatant violation of the UN Charter, a deliberate destruction of prospects for peace, and an affront to multilateralism and the UN-based international order,” they said.
The experts were concerned that despite the recent announcement of a ceasefire between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, prospects for wider regional de‑escalation remain uncertain. The lack of tangible progress on talks last weekend underscored the fragility of existing ceasefire efforts and urgency of stepping up diplomatic engagement.
“The United States’ imposition of a naval blockade is an act of war that has further destabilised the situation,” the experts warned.
Since the cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel on 27 November 2024, Israel has repeatedly violated Lebanon’s sovereignty. In a 10-minute onslaught on 8 April 2026, Israeli forces struck more than 150 locations simultaneously across Lebanon, killing at least 303 persons, and wounding 1,150 others. Hundreds remain under the rubble. Many strikes hit densely populated residential neighbourhoods and commercial areas in central Beirut in violation of the principles of distinction and proportionality and the obligation to take all feasible precautions under customary international humanitarian law (IHL). The strikes caused severe environmental damage by releasing toxic air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, contaminating water systems, and destroying ecosystems through fires, debris, and chemical residues.
According to the Government of Lebanon, since 2 March, the Israeli army has killed more than 2,000 people in Lebanon, including health workers and journalists, and injured 6,588 others. Over 1 million people have been displaced amounting to approximately one in five of Lebanon’s population, of which an estimated 140,682 are in overcrowded shelters. Already in March 2026, the experts raised alarm over a rapidly escalating displacement crisis in Lebanon, after intense Israeli airstrikes and evacuation warnings in southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut. The pace of displacement in this phase of the conflict has been described by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as faster than during the 2024 escalation. Thousands of civilians — among them women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities — have been compelled to abandon their homes.
“The issuance of blanket evacuation orders, combined with the destruction of urban and village housing that displaced persons would have returned to, is consistent with the pattern of domicide that was initiated during the genocide in Gaza,” the experts warned. “The deliberate destruction of homes is a weapon of war and a form of collective punishment, particularly in Shiite areas in the rural South of the country. It also points to ethnic cleansing.”
“Forced displacement of a civilian population constitutes crimes against humanity and is a war crime under international law,” they said.
The experts also condemned Hezbollah’s recent cross-border attacks against Israeli civilians and urged it to abide by the 2024 ceasefire deal, pursuant to Security Council resolution 1701.
The experts urgently called for:
-
Israel to immediately cease all military operations in Lebanon, comply with the ceasefire framework and Security Council Resolution 1701, withdraw its forces, enable the safe return of displaced persons, and engage in direct negotiations with Lebanon.
-
The United States to use its influence to ensure Israel halts strikes on Lebanese civilians and infrastructure without delay.
-
All Member States to suspend arms transfers to Israel while there is credible evidence of serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
-
The international community to support Lebanon’s humanitarian response, including funding the USD 308 million Flash Appeal.
Biden and his Democrat cronies and everybody who voted for them went some way in killing America, but Trump is raising America from the dead, good for him..
