This is no longer 2013. We are not dealing with Obama. Trump wants his demands 100%, as he said it yesterday. Not 90%, not 95%, but all of it.
You don’t negotiate for 21 hours if the deal is the same deal from May 2025.
What is clear is that there was a separate deal being negotiated that progressed to a MoU level and then Trump torpedoed it in the final hour, likely due to the fact that Iran didn’t agree with him “jointly” controlling the strait. The subsequent blockade provides credence to this theory of mine.
As everyone knows, Trump needs to be personally involved and included in any major agreements as we saw with his Board of Peace.
Iran even accepted a 10 year freeze apparently, but it wasn't enough.
I haven’t seen that reported by any credible source.
As I said before, there is no scenario that a non-nuclear Islamic Republic would remain in power. I still stand by this. It is only a matter of time to overthrow the Islamic Republic, unless Iran achieves nuclear deterrence and plays the madman like it did during the first days of war.
Well you also said Reza Pahlavi was the only alternative before the war began and we see how wrong that analysis was.
So for now I cannot take your dire warnings seriously. I do agree on the need to be vigilant to avoid a 2015 JCPOA like disaster. But at this point we can only watch and see what they agree to. There won’t be a deal that will completely satisfy the Iranians or the Americans, and that’s the point, that’s what a compromise is.
Given what I am seeing out of Iran, I have lowered my confidence that they are sprinting to a nuclear bomb. There maybe elements of this within the IRGC unbeknownst to Mojtaba and the SNSC, but I don’t think it’s a priority.
