BREAKING: Iran now also rejects Trump's claim that "we have a deal in which Iran won't have nuclear weapon," saying the current draft keeps the nuclear program completely untouched with no new commitments regarding not building a nuclear bomb, enrichment or uranium handover to the US, per IRNA.

The draft also requires the US to pressure Israel to completely end the war in Lebanon, release $24 billion of frozen funds, pay Iran $300 billion as an "investment fund" for war reparations, lift the US naval blockade, release all sanctions, and accept Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. These are Iran's conditions for the US to accept, only then will Iran sign the agreement.


At this point my read is that Trump realized he was spoiling Elon’s IPO and had to do something for the news cycle today.

We will see if anything comes from this. I know IRAN's media is playing the Baghdad Bob angle, but doesn't sound like anything is really agreed upon.


Iran has been publicly touting that we agreed to their 14 point plan. Crickets from our side. Hmmm.

Iranian analyst.

Trump appears to have accepted the Iranian terms from two weeks ago.
None of that effectively opens Hormuz. The countdown will continue.

Bombing them isn’t going to change their negotiating position.
As I see it right now the only thing that will truly open Hormuz is regime change. Not going to be able to do that with just bombs. Been waiting for a silver bullet to work its magic but I’m afraid it isn’t coming now.

All options going forward are really bad. And none of this had to happen.

President Trump held a meeting tonight (Wednesday) in the White House Situation Room to discuss additional possible strikes against Iran, just hours after telling reporters that the U.S. "will hit them again hard today," according to two American sources ??????????Why it matters: The sources said that one of the options Trump is considering is a large-scale but short-term operation, aimed at pressuring Iran to change its position in the negotiations. The sources did not provide further details


This won’t solve anything and will just make things worse. Trump has us at Lose-Lose.

Dem ads in November will just be Trump talking.

What’s going to happen in a few weeks when the oil buffers start exhausting?
Empty threats aren’t going to open Hormuz. Clock is ever ticking.

Yes but people really want to believe their conspiracy theories.

Wholly unsupported claim at this time.
