Joe Kent, former National Counterterrorism Center Director of the United States, believes that Trump's statements about a potential peace agreement are excellent news.
But he pointed out the crucial issue.
To make the agreement effective, we must maintain realism toward Israel. Any form of peace agreement with Iran will be perceived by Israelis as an existential threat to their goals, and thus they will seek to undermine it.
He said, "To prevent Israelis from sabotaging a potential peace agreement, we would have to cancel (the military support) that enables them to launch attacks against Iran."
Perhaps Trump has drawn too many "war K-lines," so that whenever there's a hint of good news, most people remain skeptical and hesitant to place bets.
Al Jazeera reported that Iran is exposing Trump's inner hopes. Iran publicly claimed that U.S. officials told them Trump's tweets were "mainly for publicity and media consumption."
What does this mean?
There's deep significance here.
The implication is: Trump boldly tells Americans that nuclear restrictions are red lines!
But in reality, Trump’s own team is telling Iran, “Ignore these targeted messages fed to the media.”
In other words, it's a case of “dual contracts” or “double dealing.”
Is Trump trying to settle things privately?
