If tweet fails to load, click here. From the article:
“The Islamic Republic of Iran sent today through Pakistani mediators its response to the latest text proposed by the United States to end the war,” the official IRNA news agency said, without offering details.
According to Iran’s proposal, the current phase of negotiations will focus exclusively on the cessation of hostilities in the region, a source familiar with the matter told IRNA.
Sources in both camps have told Reuters the latest peace efforts are aimed at a temporary memorandum of understanding to halt the war and allow traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while they discuss a fuller deal, which would have to address intractable disputes such as Iran’s nuclear program.

Seems like it should be a non-starter- if Iran isn't going to give in on their nuke program while we have the leverage of the blockade, they certainly aren't going to do it assuming we lift the blockade as part of a preliminary "deal."

Nothing in the latest response matters because even if some supposed “deal” is reached, as long as an IRGC member fires a rocket or threatens ships in the Strait, insurance companies will remain very hesitant to insure cargos and the oil market will remain constrained.

Time to celebrate the 250th birthday early with an intense fireworks display in Tehran.

Truman was at the Potsdam Conference on what to do with Europe when the war ended, Russians yelling and pounding the table. Truman is interrupted during the meeting and handed a message.
When they conclude for the day, Truman pulls the Russians aside and says "We know that you know we have been working on a nuclear bomb......the test was a success today".

Our response to the Iranian regime has already been crafted....the only questions are how it will be accepted/denied and when.
If we assert our strength then the WH believes there to be enough internal Iranian discontent to act
If we respond - as we have in the recent weeks, there is no belief the Iranian peoples are able to overthrow the regime

Fellas a little patience. IRGC and regular army are now facing pay "delays", supply shortages, etc. Many of the regular army are deserting in droves.
Every day we squeeze it gets a little more difficult for them to keep control.

While I would prefer a much more aggressive approach, as long as we keep the blockade up we are moving the ball down the field since Iran's economy is getting weaker by the day. But if we ever give in to Iran's efforts to make us lift the blockade without major nuclear concessions then it's all over. In that scenario, I could only hope that Israel would step in and take care of business alone.

Again huge waste of time negotiating they are trying to stall to midterms, we need to destroy the irgc or will have to go back. Just like we are there now dealing with this mess from Obama

According to the news, the response has not been verified as legitimate from the cardboard brigade.
Sure sounds like the same old response though.
I think there is a lot of information Trump and the US military has that we do not know about and has kept us in restraint.
