Pepe Escobar: All Bets Are Off!

The war will not end unless and until the US honors the MOU that Trump and the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed but the US almost immediately violated.

No serious talks are now underway between the two nations.

Iran, thru Pakistan, has told the US that they will not stop defending their national interests unless Trump agrees with the MOU.

No ceasefires are now under consideration.

Rumors abound about Iran moving toward testing a nuclear device. No one knows for sure. But Iran (which long honored that they would not build a nuclear weapon) now has lost all trust and patience with the US,. Thus some believe Iran might be coming to the conclusion that the only way they can 'safeguard' their nation is to do so at this time.

This question is all the more complicated after Trump and Saudi Arabia signed a deal yesterday where the US will assist the Saudi's in building a nuclear program. 

Note the massive hypocrisy here. Iran can't even have  a civilian nuclear program, which many nations around the world have long ago created, but the US can help Saudi Arabia build one.

How can anyone trust the USA anymore?

Judge Napolitano plays an extensive Senate hearing video of 'Pistol Pete' lying under oath about what he has previously called a US 'victory' over Iran. 

At the same time Hegseth is demanding Congress give the Pentagon (and its corporate agents) another $67 billion for the war. This really shows just how well things are not actually going for the fading US war machine.

Pepe's response to Hegseth's Senate testimony is right on the mark and priceless.
