The Iranians pull Trumps bluff. Trump is dealing with a religious suicide cult and is in disbelief that he can’t make the serpent a pet. This is a national embarrassment for the American people. Things will go poorly for the Republicans at election time, if Trump does not wake up and cut the head of the serpent off.

Iran Issues New Demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has vowed not to reopen the shipping lane “until America corrects its behavior,” pays Iran damages by the war, and unfreeze Iranian assets.

These are old demands, that were already included in the MOU to which Trump had agreed and against which he acted.

There are others—I would say the majority of the world—who see Trump the way you describe.

The question is whether the economic and security-related consequences of excessive bombing — if not human compassion itself for instance in the face of the wiping out of a girls' school in Minab — should deter such actions.

With that said, we really have NO clue as to what goes on behind the scenes.

Do you really think the public has access to each governments real plans?
