This tracks with what I read earlier today: https://xcancel.com/TukiFromKL/status/2039689729214382331
Let me tell you what just happened because I'm sure most people completely missed this.
Kamal Kharazi was Iran's lead negotiator. The man actively working through Pakistan to arrange a back channel meeting between Iranian officials and JD Vance. The only active diplomatic channel that existed to prevent what Trump called a "2 to 3 week" strike window.
Israel just bombed his house. His wife is dead. Kharazi is in hospital.
And you need to pay attention to the timing.
This isn't the first time Iran's negotiators have been killed right before a deal could be made. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was Iran's top nuclear scientist and the man considered most essential to any future nuclear negotiations. He was assassinated in November 2020, widely attributed to Israel. The nuclear talks were set back by years. In 2012, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a senior figure at Iran's Natanz enrichment facility, was killed in a targeted car bombing in Tehran, also attributed to Israel. The pattern holds every single time.
Every time Iran and the US get close to talking, someone removes the people doing the talking. (continues)
isntreal wants to see Iran wiped off the map. I can believe that it would sabotage any efforts at talking.
