Did America lose yet another war? By Harlan Ullman

  After threatening on Tuesday that a “whole civilisation will die tonight”, US President Donald Trump had to backtrack and announce a two-week delay in making good his threat. During this stand-down the US and Iran, along with Israel in the wings, will attempt to negotiate peace. Ironically, while the US maintains an overwhelming military advantage, Iran holds the strategic cards by controlling the Strait of Hormuz and hence retaining great influence on the price of gasoline and diesel fuel and the state of global stock markets. On the current trajectory, the Iran war will repeat past failures of the US to win or to achieve successful outcomes in the wars it has fought.

Defeat from the jaws of victory: Israel reacts to Trump’s Iran ceasefire

Image
  As Israel contemplates a two-week ceasefire announced by United States President Donald Trump in the war on Iran on Tuesday night, it appears weakened in the eyes of its opponents and critics. Its arch-nemesis, Iran, is still standing; Israel’s defensive stock of missiles is depleted and its prime minister is facing a political backlash. Following news of the Pakistan-brokered truce, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement in English, saying that the PM supports the US decision and claiming that “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbours and the world.” Recommended Stories list of 4 items list 1 of 4 Photos: Tehran celebrates as Iran, US agree to two-week ceasefire list 2 of 4 GCC, other Middle East nations react to Iran-US ceasefire announcement list 3 of 4 US-Iran ceasefire deal: What are the terms, and what’s next? list 4 of 4 Lebanon excluded from ceasefire as Israeli strikes continue end of list...
