🇺🇸🇮🇷 Every problem Washington is now using to justify the Iran war was created by Washington itself. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley breaks down exactly how the U.S. built this trap and walked into it. "There wouldn't be the problem with the highly enriched uranium if Trump had not withdrawn...

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Nobody in Washington wants to admit it, but this exact scenario was predictable from the jump... Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley explains: "If the U.S. strikes civilian infrastructure, they will strike civilian infrastructure. They can't strike American civilian infrastructure, so they'll strike that of their neighbors." We knew this is what Iran would do, but the U.S. walked straight into it anyway. How does that happen?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The regime believes it can absorb the pain longer than Washington can, and that conviction alone makes capitulation impossible. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley explains h every assumption driving the pressure campaign was built on a false premise. "If the expectation was you hit Iran hard enough, they're going to come up, not with a non maximalist, but with a capitulation, with a surrender... it was dead wrong and it never was going to happen." The regime is betting on American impatience, and history says that's not a bad bet. Robert Malley

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Every day this war continues, China collects a strategic dividend at America's expense. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley: "Every day the war goes on is a plus... in that respect for China and a minus for the U.S." 2 presidents promised a pivot to Asia. Neither delivered. Now a third is watching the same trap close. Robert Malley

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Netanyahu spent decades pushing for war with Iran. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley says Netanyahu was pushing on an open door, and the real one-man show was in Washington, not Tehran. "I think he became absolutely addicted to this view that he's right, the others are wrong, he has the power, the others are going to have to surrender." Netanyahu wanted it for decades. All it took was an American president who finally said now's the time. Robert Malley

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump and Tehran's different interpretations of the MoU's paragraph 5 blew the ceasefire up. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley suggested that the extreme lack of trust in the negotiations made another round of war inevitable: "The story tells us that the deal was extremely fragile. It was based on ambiguity and misunderstanding. All it took was a sign by one side that would be viewed by the other as signifying that the whole deal was a game of bad faith." Robert Malley

🇮🇷 The will is there, the knowhow is nearly there, and the only thing holding them back is fear of being caught. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley just laid it all out. "They're getting all of the costs of having the sanctions and pressures as if we had a bomb, but we don't have a bomb, so we don't have that deterrent." Iran is stuck in the worst of both worlds, and they know it. Robert Malley

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Past June, the economic and political math turns hard against Washington, and Iran is counting on it. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley says Iran knows that dragging this past June deepens the damage to both the U.S. economy and the Republican Party, and there is a camp in Tehran that believes surviving even another strike only proves their resilience again. He sketched four endings: a framework deal that reopens the strait, Trump declaring victory and walking away, another round of strikes to prove a point, or a grinding stalemate of no war and no peace that keeps claiming victims worldwide. On the strait itself, Robert says what he hears from the Iranians is that there is no return to the way things were. Some form of financial compensation is coming, whether through tolls, sanctions relief, or unfrozen assets. Robert Malley

🇮🇷 The Gulf states may soon face a choice between letting Iran skim profits off the Strait of Hormuz or watching it shut down entirely. Ex-JCPOA Negotiator Robert Malley thinks Tehran's endgame is cutting a deal with the GCC that gives Iran a share of the proceeds, wrapped in the language of collective victimhood. "If the choice for them is either that or the closure of the strait, I just don't know what they'll pick." When your last card to play is calling Beijing, the old world order is already gone.

Former U.S. Iran envoy Robert Malley says Israel will not stop bombing Lebanon even if the U.S. and Iran reach a deal, arguing Israeli officials will continue justifying strikes by citing alleged “threats” — while reserving the right to define what constitutes said “threat.” Israel also carried out near daily attacks in Lebanon after agreeing to the November 2024 ceasefire agreement – Malley indicates the pattern is unlikely to change under any new U.S.-Iran understanding.

📽️ Rob Malley, former US special envoy for Iran, says the most realistic positive path now is not a grand bargain but what he calls “MOU-plus”: a series of smaller, discrete US-Iran deals built on top of the ceasefire framework. ➤ Under this scenario, Iran would trade specific concessions for specific relief: renewed IAEA inspections in exchange for access to frozen assets, or getting rid of its highly enriched uranium stockpile in exchange for broader economic relief. ➤ Malley says step-by-step transactions like these would let Trump claim wins, “We got rid of the 60%, we get inspectors back in,” while keeping “the floor beneath the deal” and avoiding a collapse back into war. ➤ “It’s not the breakthrough,” Malley concedes, but neither side wants a return to full-scale war.

🇺🇸 Biden returned to 18 of the 19 agreements Trump abandoned. The one he skipped was the nuclear deal. Tehran University professor Foad Izadi breaks down why that single decision may have changed everything. "If they had listened to Robert Malley, you probably would not have this work because the U.S. would actually return to the agreement." One agreement left on the table. An entire region paid the price. فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

The trap finally snapped SHUT. Israel dragged Trump into a war with Iran, Iran came out stronger, and now Netanyahu is using Lebanon to try to wreck the peace deal before it becomes real. @EstebanCarlop breaks it down.

The U.S. and Iran signed the same document, read it completely differently, and now the Middle East is on fire again... Former JCPOA negotiator Robert Malley broke it all down for me: Paragraph five, on Hormuz administration, was the fault line. Iran read it as confirmation of their control over the strait, the U.S. read it as guaranteeing free flow of commerce. The moment either side tested that ambiguity, the deal was ALWAYS going to unravel. "You could drive an aircraft carrier through the ambiguities, every paragraph could be read in a thousand different ways." On Iran striking Gulf civilian infrastructure: they simply want to demonstrate that attacking Iran carries a price, paid in dollars by U.S. allies and the world economy. On Trump's strategy: "His mindset always seems to be, if I strike them they'll cry uncle, if they don't cry uncle I'll strike them harder, and in this case he is DEAD wrong." On what comes next: "He is capable of doing a 180 and deciding tomorrow, you know what, we're out of there." Also discussed: the CNN report that Trump has agreed to allow Saudi to enrich uranium w/out the international safeguards designed to prevent nuclear weapons development. And what that signals about where this war is actually heading... Great speaking with Robert Malley

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has more missiles and drones now than before the war started, and the U.S. can't keep pace with replacements. Nima Rostami Alkhorshid says Washington is already hitting the limits of what it can sustain. "The United States is not going to be able to fight this war." The escalation trap is real, and one miscalculation could turn a short conflict into something no one can walk away from.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The behavior on the ground tells a different story than the words coming out of Washington. Political Scientist Robert Pape breaks it down simply: forces are moving toward Iran, not away. "The idea that you're moving all this force continuously toward Iran, and then you're just going to somehow surrender to Iran, this just doesn't seem plausible here." Every day without a credible off ramp is another day the trap closes tighter. Robert A. Pape

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump spent years trashing the JCPOA. Now the deal he is celebrating may be weaker than the one he tore up. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar says the JCPOA was an actual plan of action, with requirements, constraints, consequences, and a clear end state. The new MOU, he says, is just an idea. “The principles of this MOU are significantly worse for the U.S. interests than the JCPOA. Without question.” That is the irony: after war, strikes, blockade, and chaos, Washington may have ended up with less than it already had.
