Have you read the response from Iran?

Israel must withdraw from Lebanon. No chance.
Which has what to do with the USA? Israel is not bound by any deal between the USA and Iran.

America is not even able to force Israel to leave Lebanon. What will Mr Trump do, send in the Marines?
I don't know what your point is here, do not see what this has to do with a peace agreement between the USA and Iran, which would not be contingent on what happens in Lebanon and Israel. The USA can still support Israel in ridding Lebanon of Hezbollah and Palestinian terror groups in their efforts to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth.
 
That is quite a conspiracy that you've formed there. I am far from convinced. The Iran deal is separate from Gaza, which has gone of the radar for the time being. Gaza is actually Israeli territory. Israel is not going to accept vast numbers of its enemies constructing who knows what on its borders. No one has put their hand up to help defeat Hamas. That's the first step and its not done yet.
We have a hymn that no one discards the garb of winter until the summer has begun. The Mideast is discarding their "anti Israel" stance for something, what is it? Saudi Arabia is building a long ribbon city that goes from East to West, why? Kushner has revealed his plan for the city to be built on top of Gaza, that is not theory. Abraham accords are not theory. What would Israel get out of the deal? Israel is composed of Orthodox Jews and secular jews. The secular jews will be happy with the money to be made from this real estate deal and they can see this Gaza version of Atlantic city as something to build up the economy. The orthodox jews will appreciate a peace treaty that lets them build the temple. Where is the theory? These are all existing beads, I am simply stringing them together.
 
All this would not bring about peace in the current situation meaning you got nothing. You cannot build a car by making predictions from Scripture. There has to be a plan, and you have to be willing to get your hands dirty.


Useful idiots for supporting peace efforts via Trump and company, who, according to you, must be Godless and a scam artist. Classic TDS and stop the judging. Jesus also said Blessed are the peacemakers which is what Trump is attempting to do in this situation, not building in Gaza, which is a red herring.
You can't have peace when you have liars, murders and thieves. First remove them and then you can have peace. Any attempt to get peace without doing that first is like putting a bandaid on skin cancer.

Hamas and Hezbollah left alone to rebuild and attack Israel again. Dream on
Iran controls Hormuz. Not according to Mr Trump
Iran gets 12 billion as soon as the ink dries on the "deal"
Iran gets a rebuilding program worth $300 billion
America lifts the blockade and withdraws all military forces from the region
Iran sets the terms for how to deal with uranium
America stays out Iran's internal affairs. Sure, let them get on with nuclear weapon construction
Iran is free to keep developing ICBMs

America is not even able to force Israel to leave Lebanon. What will Mr Trump do, send in the Marines?
That is my point, there is a peace agreement that has been made, but not with Iran. One of Iran's allies were the Palestinians in Gaza, they made peace with them, now they are all "resting in peace". Both Gaza and Syria have been wiped out. Lebanon is still being bombed. You don't hear about Yemen, so they must have been reduced, and Iran's ability to interfere has been greatly reduced. But they are still terrorists, they will start getting millions of dollars again, and they will be left out of this trillion dollar development, so you can expect more of the same terrorist fight against it. Especially since the camp of those kicked out of the deal includes Russia, China, and Iran. The only agreement with Iran is to open the strait and let them start collecting money again.

It is a predictable pattern been around for thousands of years:

James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Why do you think places like Atlantic City and Las Vegas turn into hell holes?
 
I do not see you guys coming up with any better alternatives for peace.
The simplest plan for peace. Have a referendum to continue the war on Iran. Those who vote yes will be drafted - senators, Democrats, Republicans, men, women, old, young, crippled, Jewish Americans, Iranian Americans - whoever votes yes , and their wealth, companies and all linked estates continually taxed to fund the war so long as the war continues and there is wealth left to be taxed, with the war ended when funding expires. Those who vote no are exempted from all of it. I assure you the war will be ended promptly.

When the false flag comes from "Iran", and it will if the pariah state truly believes the peace is to be permanent - as sure as it came for the sailors of the USS Liberty as these brave souls sought only to help the regime whose wickedness they had not anticipated - surgical strikes targeting the military, intelligence and political leadership apparatus behind the false flag attack, and strong justice and investigation of the terrorists and those who supported them - no more of this "lone wolf" Fed slop or similar insurance for terrorism scams by the same bad actors.
 
Simple really, if you can wash off the leopards spots you can convert terrorists to be peaceful. Oh wait, the Bible says you "can't" change the leopards spots, not that you can. OK, my bad.
You can lead someone to the water, but you can’t make them drink!

In the meantime

D VANCE JUST EXPOSED THE MASSIVE LIE ON CNN

The media and Iranian hardliners are flooding the zone with the claim that President Trump agreed to pay Iran billions and immediately unfreeze assets. Vice President JD Vance shut it down cold: “There hasn’t been a SINGLE DOLLAR of sanctions relief or unfrozen assets!”

He called out the misreporting, saying he suspects it’s coming from certain hardliners within the Iranian system to sell it to their own people. To be very clear: Any sanctions relief is ONLY for the Iranian people — and ONLY IF they meet their obligations. And that “$300 billion”? It’s NOT coming from American taxpayers. It would come from the Gulf as investments — not U.S. tax dollars.

This is Trump negotiating from strength. No blank checks. No free money to the regime. The propaganda stops here.

Watch JD Vance destroy the fake narrative live.
-----------------------------------------

Gulf State Investments? GROK

It's potential private and state-backed investments from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries — not direct US taxpayer money or unconditional grants.

thehill.com

According to JD Vance's statements (e.g., on CBS and elsewhere), any access to a reported $300 billion reconstruction fund (or similar scale of investment) for Iran would come from Gulf Arab states, conditional on Iran fully complying with the framework agreement. This includes dismantling its nuclear program, giving up enriched uranium stockpiles, accepting strict IAEA inspections, ending proxy conflicts, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.



I just heard it straight from the VPOTUS on FoxNews: No money is being given to Iran. That was from bad news agencies making stuff up.

A most excellent plan! If only If only!!!


The USS Liberty 😢 Massie gave a speech on the anniversary.. one of the few in Congress with a moral compass.
It was very powerful, mostly by memory and with all the honest details.

That will never happen. It is pie in the sky.

Permanent peace is a delusion, so I do not know what you are referencing here or your sources which must be the voices in your head, and if you believe Israel is a pariah state, then simply say so. Otherwise, I do not know what you are addressing here either. Who is the pariah state?
-----------------------------
pariah/pəˈrīə/A pariah is an outcast—someone who is despised, avoided, or rejected by society or a specific social group. The term is used for individuals who are widely shunned due to their actions or associations, as well as for countries or governments isolated by the international community.

It sounds to me like a bunch of hogwash from a Jew hating fanatic, where anti zionist is really code for hatred of Jews. Israel states it was a mistake during the Six-Day War and has not been proven otherwise by critics who assume guilt and who knows what you mean by lone wolf fed slop and who really cares.

Ahmed al-Sharaa (also known as Ahmad al-Sharaa or formerly Abu Mohammad al-Jolani).

euronews.com

He is Syria's current president, who took power after leading the rebel offensive that ousted Bashar al-Assad in late 2024. Al-Sharaa heads the transitional government (formerly associated with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham/HTS) and has been rebranded as a more pragmatic leader in Western engagements.

bbc.com

In the context of the X post and recent G7 remarks, Trump praised him highly: Called him "very capable" of handling Hezbollah, saying Syria would "do a better job" with fewer civilian casualties.

Trump has met al-Sharaa multiple times (e.g., White House visit in 2025, earlier in Saudi Arabia), lifted sanctions on him/Syria, and pushed for normalized ties, seeing him as a partner for regional stability and countering Iranian influence via Hezbollah.

washingtonexaminer.com

Note: Al-Sharaa has a controversial past as a former jihadist with al-Qaeda ties (under his old name), but Trump and the U.S. have engaged him pragmatically post-Assad. This aligns with Trump's preference for "strong" leaders who deliver results over ideological purity.

Whatever happened to 'we don't negotiate with terrorists?'

The Islamic Republic funds terrorism across the Middle East. Its proxies have launched attacks on Israel for years. It has spent decades threatening the West and oppressing its own people. Yet somehow, pressure from the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism appears to have worked.

• What happened to “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”?

• What happened to deterrence?

• What happened to holding aggressors accountable?

• This isn’t just Israel’s problem.

• Every terrorist group and hostile regime in the world is watching.

Tonight, it’s hard not to feel that a dangerous precedent has been set.

And now we must wait to see what comes of this.

A Memorandum of Understanding is not a peace treaty, nor is a ceasefire, it's just a potential first step, and it's a major step, but it's also not the full thing. There will be a temporary ceasing of hostilities at the minimum so that the Strait can be opened for the flow of the oil to resume. It's a matter of necessity, cv5's prescience on the blockade strategy has worked faster than expected, Iran has to resume the flow of oil or they have to cap their wells and that be economic suicide outright (one that will take much of Europe and Asia with them at that). It's not about trusting the IRGC, it's trusting that if the flow of the spice doesn't resume the entire Old World will be back in the steampunk age really fast.

 
Donald Trump is rewriting history and redefining what a ceasefire is. We used to have this simplistic view that a ceasefire is when the two sides cease firing at each other. No! A ceasefire is a ceasefire regardless of how much they are shooting at each other as long as Trump says it is a ceasefire. We also used to have this very restrictive and limited view of what a peace agreement is. We thought two sides had to agree to peace. No! As long as Trump says we have a peace agreement it doesn't matter what the leaders of Iran say or if we even know who the leaders of Iran are.

Sounds like you’re an Iranian sympathizer! Good luck in speaking Farsi.

That sounds like the ad hominem fallacy. Not a tactic a believer seeking the truth would use, but one the accuser of the brethren uses all the time.



Israel Was Left Out — And The Deal Is Already Falling Apart | Bible Prophecy Update

Since Israel was left out of the room the MOU does not involve them, hence it is not a peace agreement between Iran and Israel.
