A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…

I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong.

This agreement is far worse than I expected.
To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.

The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska?

Description of Toosheh from the linked article
HOW TOOSHEH WORKS: At NetFreedom Pioneers, content curators pull together files—news articles, videos, audio, and software [1]. Toosheh’s encoder software [2] compresses the files into a bundle, in .ts format, creating an MPEG transport stream [3]. From there, it’s uploaded to a server for transmission [4] via a free-to-air TV channel on a Yahsat satellite that’s positioned over the Middle East to provide regional coverage [5].

So Trump will probably make some kind of quick “peace deal” with Iran, pull back his forces and leave the Middle East and the rest of the world with the mess he has created. But also with the enormous damage to the world economy.

So many questions about this message from Trump...🤔 Apparently blocking the strait of Hormuz by the US is a "solution" for something.

The good news is US forces rescued the F-15 crew member (WSO). The bad news is the enormous amount of material losses in planes and helicopters. Iran can claim a “win” in some way. It also shows the Iranian regime is not defeated. Future ground operations will not be easy.

The ceasefire between the USA and Iran is clearly over, so probably the next predictable step is another round of strikes by Israel and the US.

So the US was negotiating and made "the final offer" on day 1 😆
As many experts have noted , Trump has destroyed US diplomacy both internally and externally, it shows.. Trump can't even fake normal negotiations.

With regard to Kharg Island I have no doubt the US can take this with a brilliant tactical operation with limited casualties, but holding it and achieving strategic objectives will be the hard part.

This sentence will be in the history books "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
Future generations in the USA will ask why politicians allowed this to happen, this president to stay in power.

Als je naar de geschiedenis kijkt hoeft de start van onderhandelingen tussen VS en Iran helemaal niets te zeggen over het verloop en/of de intensiteit van de strijd de komende weken (zie bijvoorbeeld de Vietnam oorlog, de oorlog in Oekraine).
