Trump announcing a deal at the last moment is the least surprising thing actually. Thankfully it looks like Trump isnt completely insane but Ill believe it when I see it.

Iran COULD have passed some signals through Pak, but I doubt they made any big concession. They could see, just like everyone else, that the whole world now sees Trump as a madman. It would have been worth it to Iran to endure a brutal bombing in order to further disgrace and isolate Trump.

He freaked Pakistan the fuck out, and that's not easy to do.
Maybe now America will actually look at what we just did to Iran. a 1,000 dead for nothing. For the Israeli Right-Wing's fevered fantasies.
Aw, who am I kidding? We'll spike the ball because we recovered 2 pilots. Team America, fuck yeah!
If you think Americans give a damn about 1000 dead Iranians I have news for you. The only reason this is really unpopular is gas being $4 a gallon
