Okay, so what now?

Let me see if I can perhaps find a way for us.

As it is, doing a deal is not realistic. The Iranian demands are just too far from what the American administration is willing to do. Which makes the process devoid of meaning.

The Iranians are digging in for af six months siege, and the American, Israeli side are vying for a quick end to the conflict.

So our options are VERY limited. We can just pull out, call it a day, and leave it at that.

That would make it, effectively, a draw.

Iran has suffered A LOT in terms of hardware loss. That is a lot of money. Add to this, the stance of Iran is pressed over all its proxies. Iran has been severely weakened.

BUT the path to a nuclear bomb is open, and will be pursued, making the Middle East even more volatile.

Secondly, and this is an option we have not yet considered; we can offer the Iranians a place at the Gaza peace board.

This is something completely different from at deal, and will show the respect, that seems to be important to the Iranians.

Instead of demanding, we open a path for reconciliation and a real place at the table for a more stable and prosperous Middle East. After all this was the idea behind the peace board at the first place.

This still leaves the path to the bomb open, but at least we are in a more positive conjunction.

So in effect, it’s a POSITIVE draw.

This however leaves the Kurds and the Iranians to their own devices.

This is a situation we have not wished for, in any way.

But it takes the armed uprising, or something like it, to make a democratic Iranian state. The required organization on the ground seems to be not ready.

If we draw out, we need to protect the Kurds somehow.

We can also continue the war, and see what happens.

G-d bless the peace of prosperity of the Middle East.
