The Sunni-Shia Divide I have written so much about during past decade at least …

In John 18:36, Jesus tells Pontius Pilate "My kingdom is not of this world" clarifying that his authority is divine and spiritual, not a political or earthly kingdom that requires violent defense. This statement explains why he did not resist his crucifixion, as his kingdom operates through truth, love, and righteousness rather than power … everlasting power of love for thy brother/sister.

He appears to believe that if he brings Iran's energy industry to its knees, that it will be forced to come to the negotiating table and beg for mercy.

This, of course, is a delusional take.  Despite absorbing severe blows from US and Israeli attacks, Iran is by no means cowed.  In fact, if US troops occupy Kharg they will become sitting ducks for Iranian drones and missiles.  Iran has already struck several tankers in the Gulf resulting in closure of the Strait of Hormuz.  The oil terminals are well within range of every Iranian military asset. The commitment of ground troops to this war would be catastrophic.  Not only in placing the lives of American soldiers under threat, but regarding the momentum of the war itself.

Von der Leyen says global energy situation 'critical'

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has said it is time for negotiations with Iran to take place to end the war in the Middle East.

Speaking in Australia at the conclusion of a new free-trade agreement between the EU and Australia, she said:

    The situation is critical for the energy supply allies worldwide.

    We all feel [??] the knock-on effects on gas and oil prices, our businesses and our societies, but it is of utmost importance that we come to a solution that is negotiated, and this puts an end to the hostilities that we see in the Middle East.

Any deal he gets will be no more than what Obama made and he tore up.  As for the latest 48-hour deadline and 5-day extension, Iran knows of no discussions on the issue, and it was all just another pump-and-dump.
