The Duran: Episode 2544 A high stakes Iran US deal could be signed within days, but Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou break down why this might just be a temporary ceasefire rather than a real resolution. The Duran explores how the strait of Hormuz reopening, Trump's push for a quick signing, and Israel's continued demand for regime change in Iran all point toward a longer conflict ahead. With China and Russia coordinating closely with Tehran, is this deal buying peace, or simply buying time before the next round of war? 00:00:00 Iran US deal close to being signed 00:00:31 Why this time looks different 00:01:28 How the last deal collapsed 00:02:17 Sixty days of real negotiations begin 00:02:48 Strait of Hormuz reopening explained 00:04:00 Balance of power shifts to Iran 00:04:32 Why Iran refused an interim deal before 00:05:34 Is this just about buying time 00:06:52 Israel still wants regime change 00:07:44 Iran preparing with China and Russia 00:09:11 Why sixty days is not enough 00:09:30 How Iran gets paid without US involvement 00:10:20 The Syria style long siege strategy 00:11:32 Could Iran avoid Syria's fate ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

Trump’s idea of a deal is “give me all your stuff or I’ll kill you”.

Nothing changes. The US will not stop. They will try again. They simply can not accept to lose. They will comeback for more flesh.

Even if the MOU is signed, Iran better remain vigilant in defending their homeland from Israeli/US aggression and also be ready to tackle Israeli/US attempts to stir public unrest within Iran.

There is no chance the Syrian play book will work when you can't get boots on the ground. Remembering that China and Russia have a huge vested interest in Iran surviving.
