I agree Iran has a strong upper hand right now, but it’s been less than a week since the most recent deal was announced and also literally the very next article up is about how the deal may still fall through. Seems a bit early to declare a winner at all
Israel has already bombed Lebanon and Iran has already stopped ships in the strait again so… Yeah. We just wait and see if Trump finally does something positive and stops directly supporting Israel. Bonus, Trump will be impeached and removed within a couple of weeks if he does, and Israel will lose protection just long enough for its people to finally face some level of consequences for the first time in their history.
“But what this does is it allows the ships to go. If we keep bombing, those ships won’t be going”
So Trump is directly admitting that Iran controls the strait… what does that mean for the US?
“we run out of [oil] reserves in about four weeks”
Sounds like he is under some time pressure! What would happen if he couldn’t win in four weeks?
“[markets would] go down at levels that nobody ever saw before, maybe except for 1929”
Oh. That sounds bad. So how likely is he to win in the next four weeks?
“if we didn’t do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years. You would never have the Hormuz Strait open. You would never have success”
There you have it! If he doesn’t agree to the deal, the US is guaranteed an economic collapse. So he is forced to take the deal.
What do you call it when one side in a war is forced to take a deal?

And yahu is already saying they’re staying in Lebanon

the deal is meant to be enforced in 30 days time so thats not a problem
Lol, he will not be impeached “within weeks” if he does. Israel isn’t going to give up on Trump.
Let’s look at Trump’s own words…

This is an underrated comment. Honestly the most articulate and clear summary of the US defeat I’ve seen so far.
I’d have to credit Belle for the idea, but thanks!
