Alastair Crooke on Danny Haiphong – Good solid analysis as it seems the game has started again
I won’t use Danny’s video title here as it does not represent this conversation. The beat goes on.
The He Said / She Said game has started again. A friend quips to print your T-Shirt: “Peace has never been this close!”
Earlier, we posted up a discussion on Pakistan by the Valdai Club. Pakistan’s New Role in the Difficult Iran-US Dialogue
I believe we should clearly understand the Pakistani role in these negotiations. This morning, Trump is howling again and JD Vance is saying that the US will not deal with Iran’s negotiation documents. Israel is just refusing to remove themselves. “Israel’s Defense Minister urges Trump to safeguard ‘Israel’s interests’ during negotiations with Iran. Katz stresses that Israel ‘will NOT WITHDRAW from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and northern West Bank'”
Alastair in the first part of this video explains Pakistan’s role. Pakistan works for Pakistan. They do not work for Iran.
Alastair speaks about the Iranian leader’s letter, which we also had posted up earlier with excellent commentary. The New Security Equation: From Hormuz to Beirut
Just now we received a notification by Pakistan.

Iran will certainly make their own announcement. Marandi, member of the Iranian negotiating team on the next week’s talks between Iran and America: Nothing will happen in Geneva on Sunday. There are still things to do.
We wait for Iran.
It is necessary to listen to Alastair Crooke.
