Israelis are in coping mode and cherry picking what Vance is saying. I don't see any impact on/from Trump voters on the negotiations. The AIPAC and Israel Firsters are to be watched though.

Translation
"A strike on Bahrain's early warning radar during yesterday's IRGC attack has been confirmed with new satellite imagery. Radar and air defense stations with low mobility, whether in the south of the Persian Gulf or the north of the Persian Gulf, will not have the necessary security. They only function during peacetime, and in wartime, their fate remains uncertain."

Pakistani “mediators” are acting at China's direction. Pakistan is representing China's demands.

I'm sure the American Freedom Fighters you fantasize about will get right on that.

Foolish. A much better strategy is to cause economic and political pain and that's what Iran did, effectively.

It's been hit or miss for me. I've a lot of extensions added to the browser. Something always seems to break when there is an extension update.I use it on my laptop without having installed anything, and without having logged into it and it works for me every time

It never works for me, given that Musk has reduced Twitter to hot garbage. I am logged in with free account and on laptop.

Which as you know, we are already experiencing.
The question is, will it get worse before it gets better?

You misunderstand me, bro!
I applaud Pakistan for not exploiting the situation.
Pakistan has demonstrated it is not one of those evil Muslim nations.
Iran is lucky to have a border with a Muslim country that cares about Muslims.
My point was in reference to the charade - which Pakistan has no choice but to entertain. Because of it’s precarious position.

I don’t understand why the markets even react anymore-this is making the Boy Who Cried Wolf look restrained…

Trump is desperate to avoid another economic meltdown under him.
That’s Iran’s nuclear deterrent.
Which the IRGC is exploiting expertly.

As to the Twitter posts, most of the time on my laptop, the translations work when clicking on the posts and going to Twitter. But why not give a little hint/summary of the posts so that we can determine whether to further check on Twitter or not? And that applies to all non-English languages posts here.
My two cents!

Reuters is also reporting a potential agreement.
Pakistan, which has for weeks sought to broker a deal, said a final text of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran had been reached, although there was no immediate confirmation from Washington or Tehran.
"Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalise the next steps," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on X.
Leaked terms of the proposed memorandum of understanding outlined by Western, Pakistani and Iranian sources on Friday appeared to favour Iran, drawing criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, who called the reports inaccurate.
While there were minor differences in the accounts, all appeared to offer Tehran much of what it has demanded so far, with Trump appearing to win little of what he has sought, beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran shut after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks in February.
Trump said leaked comments on a deal did not represent what had been agreed to. "The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
"Very dishonorable people to deal with," he said of the Iranians.
However, shortly afterwards, Trump reposted a social media post by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, in which Araqchi said a memorandum to end the war had never been closer - and also warned against speculation over its contents until it was finalised.
Under the terms of the text described by other sources to Reuters, the U.S. would immediately begin providing Iran with billions of dollars in unfrozen assets, and waive sanctions on its oil exports, in return for Iran opening the strait.
Discussion of Iran's nuclear programme would be set aside for a 60-day period of talks on a final settlement, there would be a discussion of war reparations to Tehran, and the dropping of longstanding demands for curbs on Iran's missile programme, the sources said.
Washington has previously demanded Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. But none of the versions of the text reviewed by Reuters includes mention of it, and the sources said the demand had been explicitly excluded for now.
But a senior U.S. official, describing the agreement, said that the uranium stockpile "will be destroyed and removed" and Iran's nuclear programme would be dismantled.
US and Iran signal peace deal near despite differences over terms
- Pakistan PM says text of a deal has been finalised
- Trump calls reports of terms that favour Iran 'fake news'
- Deal as outlined by Western, Iranian, Pakistani sources appears to match terms originally proposed by Tehran
- Western source says deal could be signed as soon as Sunday

WHAT'S IN THE DEAL?
A Western source, an Iranian source and a Gulf source said a key issue yet to be resolved was language on ceasing hostilities in Lebanon. Iran has demanded Israel end a campaign against Iran's allies, the Hezbollah militia.Under the terms of the text described by other sources to Reuters, the U.S. would immediately begin providing Iran with billions of dollars in unfrozen assets, and waive sanctions on its oil exports, in return for Iran opening the strait.

You should post that in the US Perspectives thread. The ultra-nationalist will tell you you are wrong and post a hundred Twitter reposts showing how you are wrong.

People are desperate to avoid a run on the market.
Because no one knows where it’ll end given the west has borrowed like an addicted gambler.
Any crumbs Trump throws is used to justify holding on.
