No one could have predicted that Israel would not abide the peace agreement?

Everyone, literally everyone predicted this

@#3 ... No one could have predicted that Israel would not abide the peace agreement? ...

Israel wants a War to the Finish with Iran.

They want the Iranian State destroyed and Iran in Chaos.

A patchwork of feuding Warlords or Worse.

Israel has No Ability to bring this about.

So they Convinced Trump in his Stupidity to help them with the Heavy Lifting.

Things went terribly wrong. The Iranians were Resilient and able to Hit Back.

Now Trump wants a Temporary off Ramp.

Israel feels "Betrayed".

If they go it alone Iran will destroy their Infrastructure and weaken them more than believed possible only a few months ago.

What to do?

Spoil the Ceasefire and get Trump to finish it For Them.

How will this Turn out?

Iran may have more Surprises.

Israel Hates Losses. Human or Financial.

They Can't get Americans To Die for them.

So now its just a big Game of Uncertainty.

Which means Paralysis,for Now.

*** Dummkopf Trumpf Threatens Iran While VPOTUS JD Vance Negotiating with Them ***

"Dummkopf Trumpf warned Iran Sunday after VPUTZ JD Vance arrived in Switzerland for nuclear talks:

"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble," Trumpf whined on Truth Social Sunday morning.

"If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!"

Source: Bombastic buffoon

The Israelis have no intention of leaving Lebanon and some want the entire country burned down.

Ethnic cleanser Itamar Ben-Gvir suggested abducting Lebanese children and bellowed "all Lebanon must burn."

Therefore, Iran will continue defending the Lebanese people who are counterattacking the invading IDF whose soldiers have been looting homes and desecrating Christian sites.

Good thing the Joe Biden administration-- during all of 2024-- checked ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu by cutting off all economic and military aid to this Rogue State, securing the progressive vote on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 and maintaining Democratic Party incumbency.

With US-provided munitions funded by the hardworking American taxpayer, the ghastly IDF will therefore continue its unstoppable killing spree of Muslims in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, southern Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, just like homicidal maniac Jeffrey Dahmer.
