Has Iran Chosen the Path to Surrender?
Paul Craig Roberts
The Iranian Government by breaking its vow not to enter a ceasefire has permitted Israel to concentrate its forces on Lebanon.
‘Overwhelming sense of anxiety’ grips Beirut after Israeli strikes

Will Beirut become the new Gaza?
It seems Iran has kicked the can down the road to its own disadvantage.
Trump says he is using the ceasefire to build up weapons to use against Iran. “We’re loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation.”
It seems that neither the Russian, nor the Iranian, nor the Chinese leaderships are capable of understanding that it is not peace that Israeli-America wants.
Israeli-America has already abandoned Iran’s 10 Points as the basis for talks by excluding Israel’s attacks on Lebanon from the ceasefire and by criticizing Iran for partially closing the Strait to oil flows in response to the Israeli-American breech of the ceasefire. So before the talks begin, Trump has changed the terms. Why did the Iranian government expect anything different? In Iran as in Russia hope prevails over reality.
“On Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump said that he had agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire with Iran. On Wednesday, Israeli warplanes and artillery struck over a dozen settlements in southern Lebanon, including in the major city of Tyre. Trump said that ending Israeli strikes on Lebanon was not included in the agreement with Iran because of the Hezbollah movement. Iran, however, deemed this a violation of the ceasefire reached between the US and Iran.”
Will Iran abandon its Lebanese ally and its own security for a mess of pottage?
If Iran understood the situation, the negotiations would be about Israel’s claim to the entire Middle East–the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel–not about Iran’s rights to enrich uranium and control its own waters. Did Muslims notice when two months ago former Israeli prime minister Bennett told a conference of American Jewish organizations that “Turkey is the next Iran.” Have Muslims noticed that the US has spent the first quarter of the 21st century clearing away obstacles–Iraq, Libya, Syria–to Greater Israel and is now involved in removing Iran? There is no reason other than Israel’s demand for America to be at war with Iran. Trump has already weakened NATO sufficiently for Turkey to be the next target. Lebanon and Saudi Arabia will complete the “seven countries in five years.” The Zionist agenda, not Iran’s rights, are what should be the topic of negotiation.
