The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread
-
I've thought about that too. A couple of ideas:
-
Maybe they game out actual physical closure due to mines, fast boats with guns, etc, which largely hasn't happened. This closure seems to be caused by insurance markets refusing to paper the crossings.
-
Maybe the countermeasures require ground forces that Trump just hasn't approved yet.

A lot of prominent Iranian dissidents abroad are asking Trump not to attack the power plants, including Reza Palavi and that woman in Brooklyn they keep trying to kill.
In the background I’m sure the GCC are asking him to hold off too.
I think there’s a good chance he calls it off and says it’s in deference (not the word he’d use) to the dissidents.

Word is that Putin told Trump he's really, really impressed with what we've done in Iran. Put that in the "win" column.

I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Was Israel at the table or on the menu?
It’s easier to imagine them promising whatever they need to in order to get the bombs to stop than to actually give up their proxies and their ballistic missile program. Or even “civilian” nuclear. But we’ll see.

all too fresh to digest....we shall see

wonder what the market does today

maybe should be expected but Iran just denied that there is any discussion and the struggle will continue until the satan is defeated (or so says some member of the iranian parliament)
