Peace in our time? I have lots of doubts, frankly

The news of a deal sounds wonderful but I do not trust Trump or the US deep state one inch.

Will Netanyahu really withdraw from Lebanon and end the killing in Gaza? I find that hard to believe.

Professor Marandi says Iran wins if the Americans honour the deal and if they don't, in which case the world blames America and Israel.

Brian Berletic this morning calls it "a deal the US had no right to demand be made in the first place, in a region of the planet it has no right to be in, and all while the US continues striking at or seizing ships transporting Russian energy and continues destabilizing Asia ahead of confrontation with China..."

He's right, of course. I hope it's a statement of the obvious but people have been misled by the media and politicians.

US-Iran MOU is a Memorandum of Disagreement Rushing to sign Friday, both sides fundamentally split on: • Iran wants $12B upfront; US says no cash • Israel's Lebanon campaign • US force withdrawal Thin ice today, total collapse tomorrow — unless US capitulates
