Loss of Syria as a bridge head land route to her Mediterranean ports is a huge blow to Iran. Tehran can still use her Caspian Sea no US Navy ships are there
Iran can access Russian caspian Port called Astrakhan. To bring in food, grain, steel and Chinese drone parts or etc

Now the oil price war is against controlled opposition Democrats to push them to end the war. No consequences, no need to end the war.

Trump can redeem himself by reaching a deal so the economy can recover. It would help Republicans.

If Iran allows inspections of its nuclear program and opens SOH it would be worth signing a deal even if it takes another month or two to come to an agreement.

It will only be bad for Israel as Iran will likely focus on developing its capability to strike at Israel in the future. Though even that would take Iran much time. Israel wouldn't even feel a need to strike again if a deal was made today for at least another 2-3 years.

Trump is not interested in helping the Republicans, he only cares about his own legacy. His appointment of Stephen Miller shows that he plans to double down on his worst tendencies.

The political cost of giving up the 60% HEU for Iran is extremely high.

Miad Maleki / the FDD effectively control Trump's Iran policy. so it is important to pay attention to what he says.

he has analysed Iran's trade data and found that Iran has hugely increased traffic at land borders and the Caspian Sea to offset the effects of the US blockade of Bandar Abbas and Chabahar.

The most important land crossings for Iranian trade to defeat the naval blockade, by numbers:

1. Iraq - $8.9 billion in trade (2024-25), 10 border crossings across 1,600km land border. Maleki says this border is difficult to blockade given "deep commercial integration".

2. Turkey - $4 billion in trade. Since the USN blockade began in April 2026, truck traffic is up 60% and rail exports are up 300%.

3. Caspian Sea - $3.4 billion in trade (2024-25), majority being imports. After the blockade, Caspian cargo jumped roughly 50% (March–August 2026). Maleki says this is the one corridor the USN cannot reach.

Others: Azerbaijan and Armenia, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (the least important).

Worth noting this only accounts for official customs data, and doesn't capture grey market smuggling etc. Maleki's conclusion is that Iran "planned this pivot and is funding it."
