“Iran’s negotiating demands have been remarkably consistent: a ceasefire in Lebanon including the withdrawal of Israel forces and the unfreezing of half of Iran’s frozen assets, about $12bn; a form of Iranian management over the strait of Hormuz; and detailed discussions later about how Tehran assures the US it is not seeking a nuclear weapon, including the down-blending of its highly enriched uranium stockpile.
Trump has been very close to agreeing these terms, but is trying to find ways to phrase them to make them more palatable to his domestic audience.
That is because on balance, the battle of blockades in the strait of Hormuz is trending in Iran’s favour. World oil inventories slowly running out, crashing the global economy from Japan to Brazil, seems more dangerous than Iran running out of cash and oil exports. The democratic west’s capacity to absorb economic pain does not match that of the Iranian regime.“

It seems to miss the quite obvious point that Iran and the US and the global economy would benefit from peace but that's not practical because of Israel's desires.

People are finally figuring this out.

“Yesterday, Rep. Thomas Massie spoke in the U.S. House of Representatives on the anniversary of Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty.

He released classified information about Israel’s crimes during the attack.”

“Thomas Massie CONFIRMS Israel used
NAPALM on the USS Liberty.
34 Americans were burned alive, skin boiling from their bodies, after the IDF dropped Napalm on the unarmed ship.
He confirmed this yesterday in the U.S.
Congress.“

His mental illness prevents him from accepting a deal that’s worse than Obama’s JCPOA, and every deal he’s going to get offered is a lot worse than the JCPOA. So here we are.

And Jared and Witkoff aren’t working very hard on the deal since they’re both at the Knicks game tonight.

Lot of big talk from Trump.

He's delusion. Israel controls our government and calls the shots. Trump alone cannot defy him.

He is not negotiating with anyone. The US last met with the Iranians on April 11. This is not for a peace deal but to open the strait so peace talks can start.

This is a disaster.

The lunatic here still rants. How interesting that Iran's peace with the U.S. depends on Hezbollah. Why? I mean, that is between Lebanon, Israel, and Hezbollah. If Iran did not finance all of the attacks on Israel, where would we be now? But all is Israel's fault, according to crazy pp.

You are such a colossal loser.

Awwwww, poor Iz-why-el just sittin' there all innocent. Won't someone please think of the baby-killers???

DP. And you wonder why you're referred to as a lunatic...

Sane people view extremist Zionists, extremist “Christians”, and extremist Islamists as the lunatics.

Wish we could find a solution for them.

Plop them all in the Sahel desert and let them devolve naturally.

TRUMP: We'll see. Nobody has an accurate list of who they are or if they're being held

WELKER: Are you demanding a list?

TRUMP: No



So basically ignore the hostages and they aren't an issue. I mean, Benghazi? Biden and Afghanistan? But we are just gonna let this slide?
