Vance’s MOU does not advance American war aims

Vance’s misconceived MOU quickly failed, because it radically diverged from its purpose. There were three main objectives of the Iran war: 1 – Dismantle Iran’s nuclear program & prevent obtaining nuclear weapons.  2- Dismantle their missile/drone/launcher capabilities. 3- Dismantle Iran’s proxy networks.  The MOU never adequately addressed even one of these aims. Indeed, one was flipped upside down. Instead, this MOU tenuously focused on Iran’s war tactics of closing the strait of Hormuz, & even suggested downblending the 60% enriched uranium on Iranian soil, with the inadequate IAEA inspectors, whom they already had fooled before. Iran’s push to get their hands on the glimmering $300 billion embedded in double-entendres induced them to celebrate in Farsi & Arabic their great victory over those ‘dumb Americans.’

Our VP also crowed about his purported triumph, but it became evident that he lacked adequate regional & geohistorical background to comprehend how the brilliant military accomplishments had been undermined by two of his actions.

Number one, the former Hamas-turned-rescue hero Mosab Hassan Yousef reported in the Jerusalem Post that the decades-long CIA-Mossad organizing of Iraqi & Iranian Kurds to hasten the dismantlement of the Iranian regime was cancelled due to a leak. He pointed out that, unbeknownst to the President, Vance scurried to expose it to Türkiye’s PM Erdogan. Obviously, headquartering the Muslim Brotherhood together with Qatar, Erdogan wants more power in an expansive Muslim Brotherhood caliphate. He loathes the 45 million Kurds in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, & Syria loyal to the US against Jihadists like ISIS fostered by these countries’ tyrants. The Syrian tyrant who massacred Christians & Druse until Israel stopped him, afterwards aggressed against the Kurds. The Kurds might even finally clamor to formalize Kurdistan as an independent state to be run by their own pro-American leaders. Thus, Erdogan, & probably US Ambassador Tom Barrack to Türkiye, who had been a friend of the President’s, but was indicted as a foreign agent for the UAE in 2021, could easily present a slanted scenario to President Trump of a likely Middle East disaster if the long-suffering Kurds get involved, which ended the Iran........
