[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

The foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has further said a unilateral declaration from Trump that the US had won the war would not bring an end to the conflict. The implication is that even if the US announced a willingness to end its attacks, Iran might be willing to continue the conflict in some form, or keep its chokehold on shipping seeking to navigate the strait of Hormuz.

Iran believes there can be no end to the conflict until it believes Trump has been shown the economic, political and military cost is so high that it is not worth repeating. It is instead insisting on a permanent deal that includes a US commitment not to attack Iran again.”

If I were the Iranians, I wouldn't sign any agreement with the reneger-in-chief unless the Chinese are brought in to mediate and sign on to any agreement. The Chinese would then probably demand unfettered access to the Strait of Hormuz (and possibly the Suez Canal and/or Panama Canal) and some permanent oil deals as part of any deal. This is the predicament the Americans are now facing. Any deal with the Iranians will put America in a worse position than it had prior to last July's first missile strikes. Trump has permanently ruined America's global hegemony.[/quote]
