Ceasefire in Ukraine? Peace Deal With Iran? Don't Hold Your Breath

 

This weekend President Donald Trump has been busy claiming a deal with Iran to end the latest Gulf war, which includes the repening of the Strait of Hormuz is 'almost complete.' whatever that means. Nither side is giving away much in terms of what precisely might be in the deal, with President Trump having earlier said he's in no hurry. But we can hope weekend contains some of the most positive momentum towards an actual peace deal and extended ceasefire to date. The New York Times (NYT) has the latest information:

Iran’s leaders or official state media have not publicly commented on what is in any potential agreement or what is being discussed. Over the last 24 hours, Iranian and U.S. officials have offered some conflicting depictions of what a deal might contain. On Sunday, the U.S. official said a deal had not yet been signed and was still subject to final approval from President Trump and Iran’s supreme leader, which could take days.

The senior U.S. official said the mechanism by which Iran would dispose of its highly enriched uranium was still being negotiated. Mr. Trump has insisted that the United States seize the material as part of his vow to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

Mr. Trump said in a social media post earlier on Sunday that he had ordered his negotiators “not to rush into a deal,” after saying a day earlier that a preliminary agreement between the two countries was “largely negotiated.”

But Trump is taking some political flak both at home and in Israel, for potentially agreeing to a deal which cedes too much ground to Tehran - or at least that's the growing criticism of the hawks.

Meanwhile in the Black Sea region a drone strike on a student dorm in Russian-controlled Luhansk killed 18 people and triggered rescue efforts. The attack sparked a sharp UN clash as Moscow weighed retaliation and Kyiv denied targeting civilians..

Denial or no, retribution was swift and terrible as an overnight bombardment kills four and destroyed many targets in one of Russia’s most wide-reaching assaults since start of war. 

Russia unleashed hundreds of drones and missiles on Kyiv overnight, including a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile.

The Oreshnik, an intermediate-range ballistic missile designed to carry nuclear warheads, hit the town of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, 50 miles south of the capital, Ukrainian officials confirmed.

The weapon, which travels 10 times faster than the speed of sound, has been said to be impossible to intercept. Footage purporting to show the strike on Sunday appeared to show its characteristic clusters of projectiles streaking towards the ground.

And so the wars in Ukraine and the Middle east go on like a merry go round and every news repoprts starts to sound like deja vu all over again.. 

This item was posted today by Karlofi on MoA. We bring it to you not because Boggart Blog either agrees or disagrees with the content but because we feel it offers an insight into Russia's current thinking on the world situuation in the light of wars in Ukraine and Iran.

Far too much of the propaganda published in western media about both these wars has plugged the good guys versus bad guys theme with the western alliance presented as the good guys wearing white hats while Russia and Iran respectively are bad guys. Naturally Russia and Iran take the opposite view.

Unfortunately nothing is ever that simple. 

Today, Russia’s MFA issued a “statement on the end of the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons” that deals with the Twin War Crimes on Iran and their effect on the NPT. The first three paragraphs are translated below:
 

Against the backdrop of the landslide degradation of regional and global security, characterized by a significant increase in threats and an increase in the role of the force factor in international relations, the conference demonstrated sharp contradictions between many States Parties to the Treaty, which together became decisive both for the course and content of the discussions, and for the overall outcome of the event.
 
 
The most serious obstacle to the implementation of the tasks facing the forum was the aggression of Israel and the United States against Iran, carried out in June 2025 and February-March 2026 under the far-fetched pretext of “protecting” the nuclear non-proliferation regime. The use of the Treaty to settle political scores and justify the use of force has taken place before. However, the current state of affairs has clearly revealed the disastrous consequences for the NPT that such unprovoked, unjustified and illegal actions entail. The conference was not ready to give a balanced assessment of the situation around Iran.
 
 
The “contribution” to the formation of an unfavorable atmosphere at the forum was made by the delegations of the “collective West”, who arrived in New York to solve their own political problems that have nothing to do with the subject of the NPT. They, primarily the EU countries and NATO members, as well as the Brussels European bureaucracy, in every possible way hindered an effective dialogue, promoting a destructive agenda focused mainly on criticism of Russia, China, Iran and the DPRK. [My Emphasis]

 
IMO, Western conduct at this meeting doesn’t bode well for any settlement of the twin War Crimes visited on Iran since the attack on the NPT is led by the Outlaw US Empire. Today, Lavrov was involved at the XXXIV Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy, which is a very serious gathering that needs to be investigated deeper than the statement Lavrov made. Here’re its first several paragraphs:
 

The report mentioned by Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy Fyodor Lukyanov is indeed very useful. It leads to many thoughts, including the idea that is increasingly making its way into the public space – whether everything we are experiencing is not another world war. There are arguments that are used to prove this particular statement. There are also qualitative signs that testify to a fundamentally different nature of hostilities, which has changed so much that, indeed, it is necessary to speak quite accurately about a war of a completely new type. In particular, President of the Association for the Export of Technological Sovereignty, Professor of MGIMO A.O. Bezrukov mentions this in his report.
 
 
I am sure we will talk about its global reach today. In Eurasia, it is already in full swing: following the aggression of Ukraine against Russia prepared by the West with another attempt to weaken our country, knock it out of the list of key world players, an operation began in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz. There were clashes on the borders of large states in both the southern and eastern parts of the Asian continent. Not to mention Latin America, where not everything is finished, as we can understand.
 
 
Therefore, the coverage is global and universal. I think that historians will understand how much the intensity of each of these episodes and conflicts leads to a union called “World War” a little later. [My Emphasis]

 
Russia sees what’s happening in a very serious light, far more seriously than what’s being discussed in most media, and that’s the connections between the two conflicts, a reality often mentioned by barflies. The meeting’s general topic was “Time for Solutions: Russia in an Irreversibly Changed World.” Clearly, solutions are required but the criminal West doesn’t want to seek any that are based on justice and thus refuses to even communicate.

Hottest Ever UK January Day - In One Small Village
Today’s high is not due to ‘climate change’ although Warmageddonists and climate alarmists have been quick to claim it is, but is a result of a rare phenomenon known as the Fohn (or Foehn) effect (literally ‘the hairdryer effect’) that sees isolated spots near mountains hit with a narrow blast of hot air.

The Never-Ending War On Cash
In the last few decades the global elites have been pushing to shift financial activity from cash and paper cheques towards a cashless world.

New Poll Of Super - Rich Shows The Elite Hate Us Ordinary Folk

Net Zero Is Dying Says The Manhattan Contrairian - But Is It Taking Western Civilisation With It?
We Boggart Bloggers have always been sceptical of the Climate Change scam. And as most of our readers will be aware, the scam had to be rebranded as 'Climate Change' because after a brief (and statistically insignificant,) warming trend in the 1980s and 90 the apparent warming stopped until 2016 when there was a brief blip because of an El Nino event on the Pacific region before global mean temperatures started flatlining again ...

Impartiality? The BBC’s Blind Spot
The year has got off to a poor start for the BBC Identity Hub, led by Jon Buckley. Despite their clear significance, it decided against including several stories in its coverage.

Destroying The Planet To Save It
In the stampede towards achieving 'Net Zero' perhaps a reality check is long overdue for the delusional Green Blob and the virtue signalling politicians. In order to save the planet from a largely imaginary threat based on an ideology behind which there is very little scientific and absolutely zero empirical evidence the solutions proposed by the Green Blob, apart from being so expensive they would destroy every functioning national economy on the planet, are going to be more damaging to the planet than continuing to burn coal and gas ...

Last year, chemicals giant BASF announced that it would invest in a new £10 billion plant in China, due to the cost of energy.
