THE POWER OF WORDS

by Mark | June 30, 2026 | Iran War | 0 Comments

THE POWER OF WORDSThis week we have seen how words matter when trying to interpret the meaning of agreements. Mr. Trump claimed that when Iran attacked a tanker with a drone this week: “"Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement." Iran claimed...

WHAT’S YOUR PERSPECTIVE

by Mark | June 23, 2026 | General Politics, Politics | 0 Comments

THE MOU THAT ROARED

by Mark | June 19, 2026 | Iran War | 0 Comments

“It’s no use of talking unless people understand what you say.” Zora Neale Hurston One reason it takes so long to negotiate any agreement, particularly one between two very different cultures, is that each word means so much to each side. Careless wordsmithing can...

THE JCPOA AND ITS SUNSET PROVISIONS

by Mark | May 22, 2026 | Iran War | 0 Comments

I have heard from some people that the JCPOA was a bad agreement that needed to be cancelled because it created a pathway for Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Therefore, it becomes important to understand exactly what sunset provisions were in the JCPOA, and their...

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO “WIN” IN IRAN?

by Mark | May 19, 2026 | Iran War | 0 Comments

Many have asked me, “So, what would you do in Iran?” My focus has not been on that issue. My focus has been on how the US can successfully negotiate a peace with Iran, and how either side can trust the other to hold up its end of the deal. That being said, here are...
