Peace Talk Uncertain

tRump has maneuvered the US into a lose-lose situation. Opening the Strait of Hormuz is what he needs, but Iran demands far more concessions than tRump is willing to give. tRump's threats to bomb civilian infrastructure are unpopular in the US; plus, that bombing would probably be a war crime. He has very little leverage left.

Furthermore, Iran understands that continued high oil prices undermine tRump's domestic and international support. The more Iran delays, the weaker tRump gets. For the US, it's lose-lose.

Let's remember how we got here. In 2015, Obama solved the Iran nuclear issue with the JCPOA agreement, lifting sanctions in exchange for nuclear inspections. In 2018, tRump un-solved the Iran nuclear issue by blowing up the JCPOA agreement and re-imposing sanctions. tRump said he could make a better deal, but failed to, and Iran restarted uranium enrichment.

I'm sure tRump would love to get back to the conditions of the JCPOA. But to come to an agreement requires trust, and tRump destroyed all trust with his Feb 28 surprise attack. We're in a deep hole of tRump's own digging. SAD!!

Burn the eipstein files their would be PEACE

Neither country trusts the other, and I can't see much trust being regained in the present situation.

This war is affecting so many other nations, I wonder if they will eventually come together and offer a treaty of their own with Iran, including sanctions-lifting, returning to safe passage of ships and restoring the nuclear treaty; sidelining the USA in the process.

America will protest but did sideline the rest of the world in first destroying the nuclear-development treaty with Iran, and now in attacking the country.

Iran's coast is the Eastern side of the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman; but the opposite coasts are of other nations; and Iran must recognise that.

Iran holds all the cards. The US only extended the truce because it delays the failure of the talks and the Iranian position is "Come back and talk to us AFTER you lift the blockade". They know that the Americans care more about high fuel costs and business profits than they care about civilians dying..They arent even close to negotiating., no matter what Trump says.😷

You need to find out who is running things also. The government is fractured there is two or more trying for control.

Trump wants to change the conversation. Expect more attacks on the Pope.

Apparently, Trump "talks too much", say the negotiators.
