Don't believe them. Don't trust them.” - Captain Kirk, The Undiscovered Country
It has been said before many times in this space that no agreement can be made with Iran unless the people can live in peace without fear from the torture and executions from the government. Anything short of this condition is only a continuation of the barbarism the people must live with.
And the words of the IRGC are meaningless anyway, as they have violated the essence of what has been agreed, as evidenced by the mining of the Hormuz Strait this past weekend.
Their word is meaningless. And their actions are delay tactics, hoping American and world public opinion will eventually grow favorably for Iran’s position.
President Trump will make a rare trip to Camp David on Wednesday to hold a cabinet meeting as peace talks with Iran near crunch time.
All members of the Cabinet are expected to attend. Officials will discuss “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” according to a White House official.
But of course, Iran is likely to dominate the conversation after the US conducted overnight strikes on targets in the south of the country, followed by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatening American military bases in the Middle East.
As well it should. Operation Epic Fury was initiated to have Iran give up its nuclear ambitions, and to date, with all of the “ceasefires” and “negotiations”, the IRGC and the regime have refused to concede on this point.
It seems Iran will continue to develop its nuclear capabilities even after any agreement is negotiated.
Taqiyyah is an Islamic term used to disguise the true intent by the one who employs it. Generally, Shia Muslims are the most adept in this practice. And, is the majority of Muslims, including the IRGC, in Iran.
While Captain Kirk is, of course, a fictional character, speaking about fictional Klingons, the words still ring true. President Trump would by wise to heed the good Captain’s advice.
They have proven time and again over the last forty-seven years that their words are not their bond. And their actions carry greater weight than their souls.
Unless the IRGC and this illegitimate, soulless regime is eliminated, the only guarantee will be the continued terrorist and barbaric abilities we have witnessed for years. Both inside and outside Iran.
