If a deal is reached that allows the 12'vers to remain in power, then this will have all been a very expensive failure IMO.
This is/was a chance to change the middle east forever and in some sense the world. It would/could have been a legacy defining moment, defeating the Islamic Republic, freeing the people of Iran to create a Pro-Western government, eliminating funding for terrorism, etc... People would look back in 50 years and say "That's when the world changed forever, etc...
Instead, we might settle for a deal that leaves the animals in power if they are smart enough to take it. Maybe Trump is betting on that they are not and then will resume eliminating them. If they are smart enough to accept, then we will be dealing with this shite again in a few years.

Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show
Imagery published by Iranian state-affiliated media and verified by The Post shows damage to at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites.
Today at 7:00 a.m. EDT
Satellite imagery of the Middle East is unusually difficult to acquire at present. Two of the largest commercial providers, Vantor and Planet, have complied with requests from the U.S. government — their biggest customer — to limit, delay or indefinitely withhold the publication of imagery of the region while the war is ongoing, making it difficult or impossible to assess Iran’s counterstrikes. Those restrictions began less than two weeks into the war.
Iranian state-affiliated news agencies, however, have from the start regularly published high-resolution satellite imagery on their social media accounts that claimed to document damage to U.S. sites.
For this examination — one of the first comprehensive public accounts of the damage to U.S. facilities in the region — The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of the those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet where available. The Post excluded 19 Iranian images from the damage analysis because comparisons with the Copernicus imagery were inconclusive. No Iranian imagery was found to have been manipulated.

I just hope that this time, if the animals refuse to give up their nuclear ambitions, then that is it, and we finally start eliminating the rest of them:

An Iranian news outlet linked to the country’s armed forces denied reports that Tehran had agreed to remove enriched uranium from the country as part of talks with the United States.
Defa Press, which is affiliated with the Iranian military, said on Wednesday that removing uranium from Iran had been “completely and irreversibly” ruled out in diplomacy, citing what it described as information from senior Iranian diplomatic officials.
The outlet also dismissed reports that Iran and the US had agreed on a 14-point memorandum aimed at ending the conflict between the two countries, describing them as part of a media campaign by “enemy security-linked outlets.”
The comments came after Axios reported Washington and Tehran were nearing an agreement tied to the war, sanctions and Iran’s nuclear program

After going to China they’ll have one more “deal push” then I think there’s more strikes.
Keep in mind that the Iranian foreign minister is in Chyna this week meeting with Xi.

Seriously. If you get a 12-15 year pause, that provides plenty of time to foster internal unrest to overthrow the government and set up alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz. There’s also no firm information on removing enriched uranium. If it’s removed that’s a win.

Iran is stringing us along, reaction time and maneuver space is all there are trying for.
I think there is disunity among their leadership. No one has complete control right now. Any deal we make will unravel quickly if their leadership continues to be at odds with each other.
And, it could be that we want it that way.

Come on even you gotta admit this is getting embarrassing. Iran has continued launching attacks on shipping and the UAE violating the "ceasefire" multiple times and we have done nothing. We have heard many times that a deal has been reached only to then to be told we are far away from a deal. At this point they are stringing us along. This two week cease fire was a bad idea from the beginning and we should've ended them when we had them on the ropes.

If tweet fails to load, click here. I hate to say it but if all we get out of it a 15 year moratorium on uranium enrichment then this war was a failure and defintely a TACO moment.

I bet you this poster was just posting 4 weeks ago how we shouldn’t even be in this war and Trump should stop this now.

According to Iranian news outlets, Iran has received a revised U.S. proposal via Pakistani mediators and is currently reviewing it. This follows the announcement that the U.S. will suspend the Hormuz passage framework , Project Freedom,” to allow for progress to be made in the ongoing U.S.-Pakistan-Iran negotiations.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
Our Chinese friends believe that Iran after the war is different from Iran before the war.
Its international position has improved, and it has proven its capabilities and power.
Therefore, a new era of cooperation between Iran and other countries lies ahead.
