How is this a win?

Iran is charging transit tolls of up to $2 million (or more) per oil tanker for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for the next 2 weeks and beyond a win? They are mocking the US dollar, the petrodollar, the world's dominant reserve currency.
How is removing all their sanctions a win? US forces have to tuck tail, leave and agree to no more attacks in the 10-point plan that Trump calls a "workable basis".
All we get in the agreement Iran won't pursue nuclear weapons. We already had that, they be saying for years. Now were suppose to trust them?
Assassinating the 86-year old moderate Ayatollah on his death bed. This worth 13 American lives, 370 injured and billions spent on the war?
Americans are currently paying an extra $400–450 million per day nationwide in higher gasoline costs due to the price surge triggered by the Iran conflict. Trillions wiped out in market value. Higher inflation. Interest and mortgage rates were expected to be cut this year and now they are projected not to be.
Iran was never going fire a nuke at Israel because its mutual destruction. By the time they develop an ICBM to hit the US technology advancements would have able to shoot it down.
The situation is far worse than if the orange freak did nothing. But, the lemming and sheep in here will call it a win.

According to Iranian State media

Iranian State Media is almost as bad as the New York Times.

This whole day has been stupid.
NOBODY knows what the terms will be yet everybody is taking everything Iran says as gold
Can ANYBODY wait to see what the terms actually are before we bleed out all over the board?

1) It’s amazing you and other folks believe this is the end.
2) I thought those in opposition wanted it to end, now they are bitching about the ending.
3) Do you want more war with Iran or not?
4) How does Iran plan to enforce a $2 million per ship “tariff” and “split” with Oman? This shite is laughable

Workable basis for upcoming negotiations sounds like that's Iran's wishlist and the US will have their wishlist. The 2 sides will now negotiate. At least Iran is now officially willing to negotiate. Their previous position was that the US was not negotiating with anyone that had the power to make a deal.

Trump took an enemy, and made them a business partner. Watch Trump get a cut of the Strait extortion fees. He just said big money is going to be made. Wouldn’t surprise me to see US contractors hired to rebuild Iran.
Were you expecting the US to kill every Iranian citizen?
I suspect future trade deals with Iran will include free oil thru the strait for the US, rest of the world has to pay.
And Trump clearly loves sticking it to Europe. He wants Iran to charge them for oil passage. Dare I say he supports it even.

I thought this was going to be a rational and mature call to discussion, which I was getting my thoughts in order to place a response…….until I saw this trash -
You know what? In this case, as silly as I agree it is, I’m gonna follow suit and declare you a lib due to what all you said there. I believe it actually fits the circumstances here. Maybe even lib retard. Hell for the sake of brevity, I’ll go all in with libtard. You doggone libtard.

Muh gas went up a dollar and moderate ayatollahs! The US dollar is being mocked! Lol!
Orange freak isn’t doing anything!
He’s doing nothing! Do something!!
I legitimately don’t know how you look at yourself in the mirror everyday and don’t feel like a pathetic loser the way you’re just tossed around like a fagot emotional rag doll ;)

We may not have wanted us to get into this war, but once we were in it, what we wanted was an absolute fricking win. Not this.
