Iran already taking a victory lap. If hiring someone to kill Ivana didn't get them leveled nothing will at his point.

Hopefully, Iran's disagreement about the meaning of the Strait being "opened" will give Trump a chance to come to his senses and declare this deal dead. Still, you have no negotiating leverage once the other guy realizes you want a deal at all costs.

As I said a few pages back. It feels like Trump wants to hang his legacy on making the "Ultimate Deal" and he sees this situation as the one to cement his legacy.

He is so obsessed with a deal that he has put himself in a corner and is now willing to sign any deal so he can say "See, I got them to the table and made them sign something" and then wave it around like the 2nd iteration of Neville Chamberlain.

He should have instead finished the fight and make them actually beg to come to the table, then slap them around some more, until the only person left to sign something would have been the IRGC toilet cleaner.

Trump says the Strait will be opened. It will only be opened by force. So, what does that tell you?

Because their supreme leader is in a coma and they no longer have an air force or navy.

No wonder Trump is supposedly caving. He surrounds himself with pricks like this who just reaffirm that taking a weak position is the right move:

If we or any other nation were going to invade them, then this would be big deal and a serious disadvantage for them

But invasion isn't on the table, just capitulation, then they have proven that their drones, missiles, and small boats can be a powerful deterrent and cause havoc throughout the region

There's 0 doubt, or should be, in any one's mind that our military can do whatever it wants to over, around, or inside Iran's borders. Unfortunately that's not the game that is being played

You don’t know this. Regardless, they can just install a new one.

Bro, they barely had either before the war started.

According to my sources, the draft proposal that’s supposed to be finalised include:

This is the exact deal I heard was emerging yesterday, and I referenced in a post. Leaving the nuclear on the table for future negotiations means it was not our primary goal.

He'll get the deal done and won't back down until it is done.

An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.

If those are the terms then we get what out of it?

That's worse than the pallets of cash from Obama
