Trita Parsi: Iran-Arab-Turkey Alignment After the War?

Iran was absolutely correct to fire at the tanker. You give half an inch to Trump and he will use it against you.

Iran should Shut USA out, Period!!!

I like Trita, but regarding this specific issue, it strikes me that the Iranian side really had no other option but to respond the way they did.

Some drones attacking three self hiding ships is not the same overreaction as bombing more than 80 targets including civilian infrastructure.

Does anyone else find it strange how Mr. Parsi keeps pushing for negotiations to continue while knowing full well that the opponent is not negotiating in good faith? How many times can people be fooled by this tactic? And yet he keeps pushing for it. I find this very strange.

I am not sure Mr Trita understands that USA is trying to gain monopoly of the strait as he threatened to do the same in Panama. I also do not understand why he makes excuses for Trump statements at the Nato. I am Italian so nothing to do with Iran but they certainly did not overreact as he claims they have. Their have understood fully the imperialistic aspirations of USA and NATO and are protecting their sovereignty. I wish my country would do the same.

Parsi talks like the USA had a right to bomb Iran and Iran should be negotiating more in good faith

Israel is a military extension of the US/West. Israel is a colonizing entity. Expecting Israel to get along with it's neighbors is like expecting the scorpion to not sting the frog.

They intended to slip their military vessels into the Persian Gulf under the radar cover of commercial ships; to this end, they approached within 200 miles of the Iranian coast for the first time, and the reason for their anger was the failure of their new project.

Trita if it was moving in the right direction, then the SNEAKY DECEPTIVE US would have no need to try to create an alternative Oman route. Truth is US has no plans to honour the MOU. Add Lebanon to this, the first clause on the MOU
