and ceasing all hostilities, including Israel’s operations in Lebanon

This is why I have doubts. Netanyahu needs his genocide to continue. He won't stop killing unless the US stops supplying him and we know that won't happen.

    Israel will become isolated because they dragged the US into this war, weakening the country that they relied on.

    Europe needs to ban all Israeli from entering the EU and expel anyone with an Israeli passport.

    No, the exact opposite: The EU should encourage the minority of Israelis unhappy with Netanyahu and co to resettle. An Israeli mini-exodus is already ongoing, and encouraging more of that would do more to hurt Israel than shutting Israelis out of most of the developed world. As a plus, an influx of liberal highly educated immigrants is always nice to have. That's of course different from tourists, which absolutely should be banned from entering the EU

    Eh, the current US government is as self centered (and also desparate) as it gets. They can just blame Israel for everything and force them to stop if they want to. And I think Iran has every intention to make them want to. What we've seen so far is only the beginning of inflation and shortages, it's going to get way worse.

    The Trump administration is practically unable to continue like this. They will lose the midterms and with them pretty much all initiative they have left. They have to make a deal. Either that or invasion. And invasion is ironically a political capitulation in this case, and incredibly costly in every sense as well

    Ah but you forget, destroying this relationship for the sake of the end to this stupid conflict with many innocent deaths could give Trump a photo op, and what wouldn't he do for a photo op and a week of bragging on Truth Social?

    Russia, China, and the EU should get together and negotiate a deal with Iran. They could offer a different perspective, and Iran trusts them more. If they negotiate a deal, it will put pressure on Trump to follow.

    More stuff to think about as Donald and friends insist that they've already won the war.
