Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump giving into Iran before the talks restart.

After the Trump administration overplayed its hand during the last mediated talks with Iran in Pakistan.

It launched a blockade of a blockade, and Sabre rattled some more.

Trump seems to have started to come to terms with the fact that,

If you think back to Iran's initially stated positions for talks

to proceed, putting a stop to the fighting was point one. When we went over them on the second

channel, I'll put the link below. We talked about how Iran specifically wanted the fighting to stop

in Lebanon, using their leverage

to get Trump to exert pressure on Israel to stop the fighting there, was seen as a reach and viewed

as a non-starter. Well, Trump announced the U.S. had brokered a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

Now, it's not a full end of the fighting.

And honestly, it doesn't look like the stage is set for anything other than a brief break.

But because all sides are claiming it as a win, there's a decent chance something more

long-term could come out of it.

But right now, it certainly seems like Iran got a ceasefire for one of its non-state actors

out of the U.S.

I want to stop here and say, ceasefires are good.

I feel like that shouldn't need to be verbalized,

but here we are.

Right now, turning down the temperature anywhere in the region
