and let Iran collect Toll fees like others do in the world for crossing the strait and built up 'compensation' via that, others would be paying it not US
True, Pakistani Embassy in US officially hosts Irans.
they did had a call today, Iranian FM has spoken to 6-7 FM's in past 6-7 hours, Turkish, Oman, Russia, Pakistan, Egypt.
Investors are mega stupid, everyone was waiting for news to come from Iran to verify whatever trump said, no one should believe him.
Doesnt get any clearer than this
Nothing fundamentally has changed for Iran’s situation where they need to seek negotiations. And neither do I believe Trump intends to TACO either. Then the US is probably looking for a knockout blow to achieve this deadline, which may be Kharg Island and the shorelines. Maybe these “negotiations” are using the exact same playbook in February. To give a show that they attempted diplomacy (in bad faith) for the media and other countries before starting a new round of escalation.

Yep. This might end in an epic disaster. Pay close attention to the article words of “deprive Iran of a potent deterrent against future strikes.” If controlling the Straits enables a wind down of the war. How does one prevent Iran from using the Straits of Hormuz again in a future war?
US occupation of Iranian Islands. Maybe even the shorelines.
Good luck selling that to the Iranians as a condition for a ceasefire.
Seems the war was actually an improvement in the trade conditions for Iran
Comparing Libya to Iran makes no sense, Libya is an extremely tribal society and the government was built around a cult of personality.
In Libya they had a massive terrorist army used as a proxy against the Libyan military and was able to overpower the military.
In Iran to repeat the Libya scenario you would need like a 200k-500k soldier "free Iranian army". They won't be able to build such an army even in their dreams.
In reality the best thing they could manage to get was few thousands of Kurds in Iraq who are ineffective.
The Americans are finding it really hard to understand that Iran is willing to go all the way in this war. Maybe because this mentality doesnt exist in American war philosophy? They just keep thinking there is some other kind of ending other than total eradication of either side. Maybe hollywood has had a big psychological impact on reality?
