Summary:​

(Snipped from ZeroHedge running summary article. I'm going to check out that 1pm Eastern briefing. They really need to clear up the mud. W.T.)

Differing Versions of the 10-point Plan?


A White House official says that the 10-point peace plan that Iran publicly released on Wednesday differs from the plan that Trump said was a “workable basis on which to negotiate.” The official declined to elaborate on the differences but said Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, was expected to clarify at a 1 p.m. briefing.

@CMShehbaz [PM of Pakistan]

Violations of ceasefire have been reported at few places across the conflict zone which undermine the spirit of peace process. I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict.

I guess there isn't enough (enforceable) central gov't in Iran anymore, to speak for everyone, they probably are held in varying levels of respect among those independent units, and of course, the comms situation is still not ideal or even really functional. Not someone I'd want to negotiate with I don't think. They don't have the authority to speak for, and insure compliance from independent operations.

The pause may have exposed what comms they did have functioning given the apparent high value targeting.

UAE’s major Habshan gas facility, three Kuwaiti power plants and water desalinisation facilities and now a pumping station in Saudi Arabia’s key east-west oil pipeline have been attacked by Iran today during the ceasefire.

There is no regime change, as long as 1 mullah is alive that's who's calling the shots . It's going to take a civil war if Persia wants its country back.
Taking out their grid and plunging the entire country into darkness would mean that the rooftop snipers holding back the population would be unable to see well enough at night to continue shooting. Which might mean that the next revolution could have an actual chance at success. Darkness aids revolutions!

THE MEDIA'S 12-HOUR MELTDOWN: FROM "WAR CRIMINAL" TO "CHICKEN"

Glenn Beck just laid out the most damning timeline of media whiplash you’ll ever see.

Before 7 p.m., every legacy outlet was absolutely certain we were headed for nuclear war. Beck describes the hysteria:
"Nuclear war. War criminal was being thrown around like it was already settled law. Calls for removal, panic dressed up as analysis, people speaking with total confidence about decisions that were made, and they weren't even in the room for"

Beck kept asking the same question nobody wanted to answer: "When has the president ever told the world exactly what he was going to do?"

Trump’s rhetoric forced Iran to reveal its own war crimes — they moved civilians INTO strike zones as human shields around power plants and infrastructure. "They put their own people in harm's way. That's a war crime"

Then a two-week ceasefire was announced — mediated by Pakistan, tied to the Strait of Hormuz opening safely — and the same voices flipped instantly. “Now he's weak. Now he blinked".

Beck’s response was devastating: "He didn't have the nerve to do what exactly? To follow through on the very action that you said would make him a war criminal?"

Trump has been consistent for years: "You break it, you own it. That's why we're not going to break it" He has zero interest in owning Iran or dragging America into another long-term occupation.

The Christian Science Monitor noted Trump’s verbal brinkmanship forced Iran to the table without firing a single additional shot (CSMonitor).

They (MSM/DNC) called him a war criminal at 6PM and a coward by 8.

The only consistent thing about the MEDIA (and DNC) is their hatred.

Live free and survive
Trump is a poor Commander and Chief. He plays this like a Corporate negotiation. And playing the markets with his remarks. War is not a Corporate negotiation. At every corner. He's Full in. Then he is setting deadlines and cease fires. With people who have no intention on negotiations. The allies, are besides themselves. No trust to see this through, exist. Our Military is stretched thin. And losing faith in this tireless, stop and go, round the clock mission.
The people are confused on what the REAL goal is.
It's quickly becoming a disaster. If this tactic continues.
Good grief...
