Amidst the never ending US-Iran war, a recent controversial allegation from ex-CIA analyst, Larry Johnson, has surfaced suggesting that Donald Trump had sought to use nuclear codes during the war and that this was stopped by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, who opposed the move. Not sure whether this is purposely leaked out fake news by US side to pressurise Iran into accepting a peace deal with the agreement to handover enriched Uranium.
Anyway, Donald Trump has just extended the ceasefire deadline indefinitely. Trump further mentioned that this is to give Iran more time to come up with a revised peace proposal for the US to review. This is quite silly, given that Trump has threaten that he will resume bombing Iran and will not extend the ceasefire deadline. To be honest, I was surprised by Trump's move as he is quite egoistic so to extend ceasefire indefinitely is a major concession and good faith towards de-escalation of conflict.
Nevertheless, grave danger still remain with the Straits of Hormuz closed and US naval blockage of Iranian ports. The flames of war may still be re-ignited instantly given Iran's view that nuclear enrichment is their sovereign rights that no one can take-away.
