## Resource

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 Jo…
