With the ending of soulemani and all the sanctions on Tehran the funding for hamas/hezbo has begun to dry up. That is the real Trump ME plan imo.
This sounds like part of the plan, but it’s important that they give up their nukes and their terrorism / imperialism. If they get nukes, they’ll have them hanging over everybody, not just Israel. There would no killings of their generals - or any other military action against them. If they knock out 3/4 of Saudi oil industry, the world will have to implore them to play nice.

Listened to Michael Medved today while running errands. He's elated about the support this plan is getting from the U.N. and governments all over the world. These countries may just have to start using LBs idea of shaming as a way to let the Pals know that if they don't get serious about the reality of the situation in the region they'll totally lose support from their neighbors.
