Lead:Â Two-Week Timeout

On Tuesday, President Trump announced that talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir led him to agree to postpone his destructive plans for Iran for two weeks, conditional on the “Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz.”
Trump also reported that “we have already met and exceeded all military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning longterm peace with Iran.”
Do these “exceeded objectives” include the United States’ failed uranium extraction, the loss of multiple U.S. aircraft, and the inability to force Iran to reopen the Strait?
Trump also noted that the U.S. received a 10-point peace plan from Iran, and that he believed it was a workable basis on which to negotiate. However, this plan was already circulating before Tuesday, so it is interesting that Trump is now endorsing it.
Still, can the U.S. ensure that points one and three of the plan are carried out: “Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again” and “End to Israeli strikes on Lebanon?” If Israel is not restrained, it is likely to continue those actions regardless.
Frustration with Israel’s actions appears to be growing, along with a clear lack of trust—reflected in the decision not to inform it of the current ceasefire until the final moments before it was signed.
In that context, multiple Trump advisers have toldThe New York Times, off the record, that they opposed Netanyahu’s push for war with Iran. It remains to be seen whether or not Washington will continue to go along with Israel’s hard sell over the next two weeks. For now, though, as far as Trump is concerned, it was, apparently, a big day for world peace.

Russia and China voted NOT to join in military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The UN was voting on a draft proposed by Arab nations to to effectively form a coalition to force their way through the Strait.
Both opposed the measure because, as Chinese Ambassador Fu Cong explained, “The United States is openly threatening the survival of civilization. This war imposed upon Iran could very likely escalate further. If this resolution were to pass, it would send an extremely wrong signal and produce extremely serious consequences,” adding that the resolution should not be “issuing a green light for force.”
He concluded, “China had no choice but to veto the draft resolution. Mr. President, this is a war that should have never happened.”
Russia and China appear to be the only level-headed countries that took part in the voting process, and many could argue that the draft should have instead focused on curbing the actions of the aggressors—Israel and the United States.
