Iran’s Weapon-ferrying Sinking Ships
via Peter A. Baum, Blitz.net (excerpt)
At the time of writing, representatives from the Trump Administration and the Iranian Foreign Ministry are meeting in Oman to deter US forces from bombing and/or invading Iran.
Iran, at their weakest political and military level for five decades, is playing for time and needs to be flexible and sufficiently compliant with the demands that President Trump has requested – halting uranium enrichment, stopping ballistic missile production, ceasing funding and arming their proxies, and allowing domestic protestors freedom from punishment.
My estimate is that Iran will attempt to prolong negotiations but will not comply with any such demands other than reducing uranium enrichment.
I would be staggered if Trump allows them any room for maneuver.
Lost in all the reports and commentary regarding this issue has been the sinking of two Iranian cargo vessels, both apparently ferrying arms to and from Russia.
No mainstream media channel has exposed either of these two events, which is more than remarkable and inexplicable by any standards.
Let us try to understand what the mainstream media missed, whether by design, inertia, or incompetence.
