It is pretty clear that Israel, for reasons of their own, are sabotaging US efforts to a rapid conclusion to the military operation in Iran. Dropping a bomb on the home of the moderate Iranian who was negotiation with J.D. Vance was not a very subtle hint.
One reason for not wanting a rapid resolution is that Israel sees no path in which a viable "Iran" is not a mortal threat to Israel for at least two generations. That means removing the source of the funding for Iran's nuclear ambitions: Their Gulf Petroleum Revenues. The most likely solution that would be tolerated by Israel would be to parcel or "partition" the country now called Iran into many, weaker regions with those regions administered by other vested interest in the region.
That is not something that can be done quickly.
Forgive the exceptionally crude graphics, but the marked up "map" is one concept. The dashed black line is through the center of the Persian Gulf. The solid red line separates the partitioned states from historic Iran. The solid yellow lines separate the partitioned states from each other.
The dark-green region (less the fertile plains of Dezful) at the top of the Persian Gulf becomes Kuwait-East. The pink, gray and light-green region southeast of Kuwait-East becomes a protectorate of the Saudis. The dark-green region southeast of that becomes a protectorate of the Arab Emirate and includes the north end of the Straits of Hormuz. The mostly orange region that is on the south end of the Straits of Hormuz becomes Balochistan and is a protectorate of Pakistan.
Regions on the west side of Iran to the north are also chipped away, Kurdistan and so on.
The precedents for this are the partitioning of Berlin after WWII and the fragmentation of the former Yugoslavia.
Seyed Kamel Kharazi was an advocate "for a long war with the US" according to his interview with CNN published on 09 March 2026"
ReplyDelete'Exclusive: Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN'
By Frederik Pleitgen and Claudia Otto - March 9, 2026
Money shot:
“I don’t see any room for diplomacy anymore. Because Donald Trump had been deceiving others and not keeping with his promises, and we experienced this in two times of negotiations – that while we were engaged in negotiation, they struck us,” Kharazi told CNN on Monday.
Dr. Kharazi was also despised by the Bahrainis, so Israel's targeted killing firmed up their developing alliance with the Arab Gulf state.
Since when is it our place to break up other countries?
ReplyDeleteThe Middle East was a far more peaceful place before we shipped a lot of terrorists there in 1948.
No it wasn’t, actually. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, those guys would be at each others’ throats the day after. Theirs is a warrior culture. It’s what they do. It’s just the nature of the beast.
DeleteThe Iranians are not victims either. They’ve killed close to a million Iraqis in endless internecine wars, they’ve killed tens of thousands of their own people, thousands of Kurds and thousand of foreign nationals. These are not nice guys. Nor will being nice to them pay dividends or make them your friends.
Not saying the war against them is justified, nor am I taking sides… I think the moslems and jews are both acting like animals and I’d heartily recommend distance with regard to their feuds.
Israel did the same thing with Syria, now a head chopper that America once had a multi-million dollar bounty on wears fancy suits as "president of Syria" and shakes hands with President Trump.

Good Lord, for once I agree with this guy.
DeleteAnyone with an IQ above room temerature can see, but your memory has to last longer than that of a flea. Most Americans do not fit that description, unfortunately.
You cannot "negotiate" with people whose ONLY reason for existing is to wage war against you...to kill you. And that is what the mullahs running Iran are. Fanatics who CANNOT be defeated. Merely killed. Any "peace" we negotiate with them will NOT be honored and Israel will be among the first to suffer if we relinquish and give the people running Iran time and room to reorganize, recover and rearm. Israel understands this. We need to.
ReplyDeleteYeah, right, Persia's the problem... you do know that literally the rest of the entire planet considers The West agreement incapable, right? 7 of the 8 billion people? After watching Ukiestan, and the last 2 times they BOMBED IRAN while 'negotiating peace'?
DeleteYeah, but this time we mean it! Pinky swear?
This is the start of WW3, and its isreal's fault.
Not my desert.
ReplyDeleteNot my religion.
Not my monkeys.
Not my fucking problem.... nuke that whole shitty patch of sand until it glows in the night.
When children will not behave peacefully with sharing a toy after repeated attempts, what does the adult do? They take away the toy to punish both children.
Fuck 'em, I don't care. Wipe em all off the face of the earth. If they won't let the rest of the planet live peacefully, I sure as shit am not going to give them a scrap of land to call their own. Those animals have been kicked out of everywhere they've ever been, for the last 5000 years, but everyone else on the planet is the problem?! Get bent... so over all of it, I HOPE AND PRAY they get eliminated by Iranian nuclear bombs! The world will literally be a better place without them. They've done nothing but fuck it all up since the beginning of recorded history. Good riddance!
