The Islamic Republic of Iran says it is “positively reviewing” Pakistan’s proposal and the White House says it is reviewing the proposal as well.

1. Two weeks 🤣

[underpants]

4. 😂

[leftstreet]

7. 🤣

2. Hopefully this gives Trump an out to TACO.

Before its too late. He can claim the Iranians yielded.

[spanone]

3. Would anyone trust trmp?

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. A TACO off-ramp...

He just might take the bait.

6. We only have a few hours to get this right.

He has inferred a nuclear attack, end a civilization, his time line is hours not days.

8. This is always how this was going to play out

The only question is what Iran will get out of all this.

Israel gets Lebanon up to the Litani River, which we'll soon learn was always the territory of historical Israel, etc., more nonsense. Trump will get his chest-thumping jingoism.

What will the Revolutionary Guard get?

9. A total loss of leverage

The Strait is all the only pressure point they have on Trump.

What’s to negotiate after you hand in your hammer? I would be surprised if they took this deal.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Oh yes, the goodness of our hearts

Gas prices in the US are where they are because of the Strait. Does this really need to be said?

[Disaffected]

13. It drove up the price of fuel to near record levels.

Such will also soon be felt in the price of many other goods.

IOWs both the US and Trump need it.

[BannonsLiver]

14. Ah so you think Trump is on a goodwill mission?

That sounds about right.

[druidity33]

17. Wait... you're being serious? nt.

[fujiyamasan]

20. Do you ever read the bullshit you type?

How fucking stupid was this administration to think Iran wouldn’t use the straits as leverage after they were attacked?

Holy shit.

The administration is responsible for everything that has happened with regards to rising gas prices. You can complain all you want about Iran. Everything was so predictable and it’s all on Trump.

Your “war gaming” abilities are not impressive.

[Scrivener7]

16. They keep the ability to shut it down again, though.

[BeyondGeography]

18. The only way this works IMO is if they collect rent

If they have a fee structure as a part of this deal then it makes sense. They’re probably also going to want to discriminate (ie ban or impose higher fees), against any shipments going to the US or Israel as part of any agreement. I just don’t see a clean opening of Hormuz happening.

[WarGamer]

10. that's a good trade, do it!

[obamanut2012]

15. I bet

[fujiyamasan]

21. Good trade for who?

[Torchlight]

19. Hints to me that Mr trump will show his belly. Again.

He pissed off that only the irrational and the greedy support his Splendid Little War.
