🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Israel says it will strike Iran even if Trump signs a deal, and the mechanism to make that happen (with American backing) is already passing through Congress.
Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar, a former Green Beret and one of the most detailed military analysts covering this conflict, breaks down what most are missing:
Saudi's munitions were 86% depleted in the first 38 days after the ceasefire alone, the U.S. is not far behind, yet Section 1217 of the NDAA, the bill that effectively integrates U.S. and Israeli military command, is on track to pass the Senate by October 1st.
On the Strait of Hormuz: the question is no longer whether Iran collects fees, it's what currency they will be paid in, a stunning sentence to have to write...
On whether a genuine peace deal is close: "I do not trust the president of the United States because of his continued use of disinformation throughout this conflict...
IF there is negotiation happening, it is specifically about the mechanics of the Strait of Hormuz, and even that is FAR from settled."
The best opportunity to end this cleanly was the 14-point agreement MONTHS ago...
But that ship has long since sailed.
Thank you to Lt. Col. Aguilar, once again, for joining me.
