Looks like no military escalation for now, but the naval blockade will remain in place.

Has Iran agreed the war is over??? Don’t they also get a say?

Don't the American people have a say? After all, we are paying for it.

People often overlook the power they hold when they no longer consent to be govern by criminals and tyrants.....

The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude | Mises Institute

States are more vulnerable than people think. They can collapse in an instant—when consent is withdrawn.This is the thesis of this thrilling book. Murray

La Boétie goes on to make a case as to why people ought to withdraw their consent immediately. He urges all people to rise up and cast off tyranny simply by refusing to concede that the state is in charge.

The tyrant has “nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had no cooperation from you?”

Then these inspiring words: “Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”

Admitting it is a good first step, then the question becomes what will ordinary americans do about it? So far the answer seems to be to accept it.

To be fair that’s how democracies work you vote people who you think will work to change things but end up working for big corporations and foreign interests trump was just extremely blatant about it all the while still pretending America First
