US-Iran Ceasefire Talks. Conflict Round 3 Is Coming

The Duran: Episode 2551 Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down the 18 hours of US-Iran negotiations in Geneva, where JD Vance and Steve Witkoff met with Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi and Ghalibaf in talks mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, producing a cautious framework agreement while leaving the deepest questions entirely unresolved. With neocon fury building in Washington, a contentious four and a half hour Trump-Graham meeting suggesting major behind-the-scenes pressure, and Iran maintaining its red line on Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz, Alex and Alexander argue that the ceasefire is merely a pause before a far larger confrontation. 00:00:00 Iran Talks Update: Switzerland and the Key Players 00:01:20 What the Talks Are and Are Not Covering 00:02:52 American Defeat and Neocon Fury 00:04:12 Bolton, Graham, Israeli Media and the Betrayal Narrative 00:05:21 Why Trump Cannot Resume the Conflict Now 00:06:22 The Neocon Timeline and Kurdish Militia Spin 00:07:13 Will Trump Hold Off the Neocons Until the Midterms 00:08:55 Trump Always Folds: The Pattern Explained 00:10:26 Petroleum Reserves and the Two to Three Year Rearm Timeline 00:13:41 Neocon Political Logic: Why They Can Never Accept Limits 00:16:52 The Kurdish Militia Story: What Actually Happened 00:18:12 How Trump Handles Israel and Lebanon 00:20:01 Hezbollah, Southern Lebanon and the Root Conflict 00:22:08 GCC Gulf States: Breaking from Washington and Israel 00:25:43 Can Iran Actually Prevent the Next Round 00:28:38 The Big War Is Still to Come 00:30:38 The Broken Taboo: Neocons Got Their Attack on Iran **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:    / alexandermercourisreal   ALEX:    / 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:   / 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.
