in Iran, people are confusing cease fire and Peace deal
from The Tara Show
In the wake of the Pakistani-mediated agreement, a significant wave of confusion has swept through the Iranian public as citizens struggle to distinguish between the current two-week ceasefire and a permanent peace deal. While the truce has brought a temporary halt to the threat of imminent U.S. military strikes, regional analysts note that many in Tehran are celebrating as if the conflict is over, despite the fact that formal negotiations on the 10-point proposal haven't even begun. This misunderstanding of terms has created a delicate political situation for the Iranian leadership, who must manage high domestic expectations while preparing for the high-stakes diplomatic summit in Islamabad this Friday.

What this episode covers
00:00 Good morning, Lee. Hey there, Tara. All right, so fog of war. Yeah. Honor in. General Jack Keane not happy. They knew full well that their only objective they had in closing the Straits of Bermuda was to stop the war. And they they have achieved that. 00:23 But, says the head of the Middle Eastern forum, Jim Hansen, people are confusing ceasefire and peace deal. They are not the same. One thing to consider about a ceasefire is it's not a peace deal. If we had all of this hammered out beforehand and the deal was ready, we wouldn't have to negotiate one. 00:48 So I think the idea of a ceasefire is to stop shooting long enough that we can go ahead and start beating the actual plan into shape. There is a lot of room between the two positions. I know the Iranian 10-point plan was wish casting on their part, and they didn't expect a lot of that. But they need to realize that President Trump is not going to cave or compromise in any way on the most important things. No nukes. 01:15 no missiles and no funding terror in the region. They're going to agree to those or there will be no deal. 01:23 So, two very different things here, but people don't realize this, Lee. uh Donald Trump, far from being a lunatic warmonger who just randomly one day started lobbing bombs, has been negotiating with Iran for a year now. Every month, haven't missed one. Going back to April of last year. So this idea that we can talk some more, you... 01:50 I don't know, we're not gonna get anywhere. We haven't gotten anywhere in a year. Nobody else has in 47 years. So the idea that Trump is going to do it, great analysis out overnight. I'm gonna get into some of this coming up. Every single deal that Iran has ever agreed to, without exception, they have violated. 02:14 No exceptions. And not only have they violated those, I'm gonna read you a list of Iranian officials not only admitting they violated them, but saying we lie all the time. That's what we do. 02:30 So the idea that this is going to be different, I don't know. Perhaps Trump is pausing for the consumption of Americans. In other words, look at me, I'm not a crazy warmonger. I'm being realistic here. I'm giving them one more chance, not just lobbing bombs. Or perhaps militarily, they're getting ready to do things. We've seen this before. Remember the term taco? 03:01 Trump always chickens out. When did that start trending on X? When was that made up? That was made up before Midnight Hammer because Trump kept putting off the destruction of the nuclear facilities. Well, did he ultimately put it off? No, he went in and bombed them. What do we find out later? That the reason that he hesitated a few times was because strategically, militarily, 03:30 He was not where he needed to be. Everything needed to line up. But we wouldn't know that till later. That's why when you're analyzing this, you can't take Trump at face value, whatever he's saying. He's an awardee. We've seen him do this before. Trump, check it out. He's never gonna, oh my gosh, there go the bombs. So there's a lot at play here that we don't know kind of what's going on. So there's two sides of it. um But General Jack Keane saying for now. They knew full well. 04:00 that their only objective they had in closing the Straits of Bermuda was to stop the war. And they have achieved that. Yes, they have achieved that. Where are they going now? And you can clearly see where Iran and the Democrats are going. They are working hand and hand. If they were coordinating this at this point, Lee, would honestly would not surprise me, given the messaging. 04:28 They're messaging as one entity because the Democrats understand the Iran strategy for survival. And the Iran strategy for survival is simple. Delay until Democrats are in charge and can save you. At least until hopefully they take Congress. Something Iran is so invested in, Lee, remember they were working with China in 2020 to hack our boards ...
