Is this the 10 point framework that Trump said was "workable" in his tweet? If so, this is closer to capitulation to avoid having to make good on an untenable promise (end of civilization) than a victory.

Does anyone who is not the Iranian government count this as a "win"?

America is overdue for a reality check. Far better to get it from Iran than from China.

Maybe let's get the facts, not just go by unsupported claims about what was agreed to by the US.

Anyone who thinks Iran tells the truth about anything but hating Americans and Jews is delusional.

My question is based on a literal quote from the President of the United States' truth social post if you're keeping up.

Go back to my earlier posts about Trump's actions vs his words.

So again, you seem to be saying you don't know what the agreement is, or if there is one, yes?

That is generally why one asks a question. We do, never know that Iran previously delivered a 10 point list of demands. Trump then tweeted (truth socialed?) about receiving a "workable" 10 point framework from Iran, so it is not exactly an unreasonable question to ask whether they are related/one and the same.

This could, of course, be another 12D chess situation, though it seems unlikely that regime change is going to happen at this point or any surrender of unclear materials by Iran without concessions by the US. I guess we will know in 2 weeks.

" any surrender of unclear materials by Iran"

I think I know what you meant to write in place of the bolded word, but that is too apropos for this point in the discussion not to point it out.

All Old understands is "Donald good". Anything Donald says or does is best ever. He has Trump Cult Syndrome, can't help himself. Take what he says on this subject with a grain of salt. On other subjects he is a good guy and makes good points.

Although, one point on Trump, no one has ever seen anything like this. That is true.

It's funny how FLBear and the other Mullahs keep insisting I am a Trump cheerleader. I have said ad nauseum how I dislike his personality and voted for DeSantis in the '24 primary .

But the Mullahs consider any support for the President or the official US position on an issue as 'bootlicking' or something as absurd,

I guess it helps them deny they need to consider the character of their behavior whenever Trump is involved in an issue.

On other issues they are good people and make good points.

This can't be true, I have it on good authority from the nevertrumpers in here that Trump just went into this with zero planning while ignoring all advice except Israel's commands!
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

I've never subscribed to that theory, but the recommendation is right there in black and white: "If Israel intended to proceed regardless, the United States should do so as well."

This is a shocking abrogation of authority if true.

Lol, no it isn't. Israel making their move only gave us the opportunity to do what has needed to be done for decades. Of COURSE you would interpret that to mean the worst possible scenario.

Happy to see an off ramp. Hope it's taken.

It appears Rubio and others understood regime change isn't a real possibility.

Lots of lessons here, but I bet Iran stops trying to make a nuclear weapon.

Well because YOU don't know what the plan is that means there must not have been one, right?

Having just reminded you I am not a "Donald fan", not sure where you think I sit.

There's more than two seats on the spectrum.

That's about as logical as saying because you don't know what the plan is, that means there definitely was one. Meanwhile we all can absorb the actions and words of everyone from the President, his cabinet, our allies and the multitude of conflicting messages, pivots, and coordinations.

I wouldn't label this a disaster. At least not yet. There is truth and necessity that Iran needed to be dealt with harshly. The first bombing was sound. This second escalation may have been necessary, maybe not. I do think resetting the deterrence measure with Iran will pay dividends against terrorism against the U.S. and nuclear weapon pursuits. Leave the regime change on the side of the road and try to build a more constructive relationship with another Islamist "bad guy".

Maybe we should negotiate a deal with the regime that would allow us to verify what they are doing either their uranium.

How so?

The question isn't whether attacking Iran was a good idea. It's whether we were influenced by, or perhaps even deferred to, Israel's decision to attack at that particular time.

It didn't matter for 30 years. Maybe they'll play along this time.
