"It's a dance between the sin and the salvation Come hell or high water, there's two things still worth savin' God and country music God and country music" My favorite track off of George Strait's Honky Tonk Time Machine. #KingOfCountryMusic #LongLiveTheKing

A regional diplomat briefed on developments tells @NBCNews that Qatari mediators have left Tehran after 17 hours of intensive negotiations. A deal has been reached, and separate preparatory meetings with each side will now take place in Doha this week, ahead of the official signing in Switzerland and the start of the technical talks.

Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but remember that old saying the enemy gets a vote? The enemy now is Netanyahu and his vote is always for war. He needs the Iran/Gaza/Lebanon wars to continue to keep his nasty ass in power and out of jail. Something to keep in mind this week.

I'm glad there is a deal and hopefully a cessation of violence. But I'm highly pessimistic that all sides view the agreement the same way, or will operate with good faith in adhering to specific elements of the deal.

I don't mean to be the skunk at the garden party, but I have minimal confidence that all sides see this agreement/deal in the same way. And the Iranians are emboldened, have leverage, and perceive themselves as victors in this conflict. Not a good recipe for a sustained solution.

There will be myriad areas where all sides involved DO NOT see eye to eye. Iran will interpret its control over Strait of Hormuz differently from the US. Israel will interpret its 'right' to strike Lebanon differently from Iran/US. Iran will see nuclear issue differently from US.

So look for a massive Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon on Friday that will once again derail the signing of the deal because that's what Bibi does. Maybe we should stop broadcasting when a deal will be signed until after it's signed. Just a thought.
Signing ceremony will be next Friday

Sun 6/14 2 PM EDT: A trough is producing showers and storms over northeastern Mexico, and no development is expected in the next 24-48 h. However, the system could move into the northwestern Gulf by midweek where conditions may become more favorable for development. Heavy rain and flash flooding are possible across parts of Texas and Louisiana this week. Check out hurricanes.gov and weather.gov for the latest information.

This damned war isn’t ending anytime soon. This is more like some egotistical war than an ideological one.

Signs of Iran stepping away from signing… ‘for now’.
There will be no more negotiations for now.
