To any outside observer it looks like Iran has won this war, complete with reparations from the US.

I’m sure Israel will blow this deal up though.

The US simply has to restrict weapons and money to Israel. Bush senior did it and froze a 10 billions loan

They already bombed Lebanon today, likely to try and derail it again.

Yup, was just going to comment this. Bombs right on time to try and kill any ongoing negotiations. Israel is not a friend to the US, and trump clearly has no control over the situation. Shit, trump going into this nightmare at netanyahoo's request is so on brand for the moron magats and trump.

Iran won the war when they dint bend like venezuela did in the first hours of this nonsensical operation. There is nothing the USA can win out of this confict, they are just losing power everywhere..

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

they underestimated that iran can FIGHT BACK, and they stockpiled tons of missiles, venezuela was practically defenseless.

israel/trump/benjamin has a vested interest in keeping it going. it keeps netanyahu out of jail, and trump out of the epstein files in the news.

Bibi is already pummeling Beirut

To any outside observer it looks like Iran has won this war

The war is won by either side only when Iran inflicts a permanent defeat on its enemies, or it ceases to be a functional state. Any deal in between, if it even goes through, will only postpone the resumption of the war, as it has been for what, about the last 45 years.

I would guess Iran is holding out to cripple the Israelis. The fact the Zios aren't just taking what they've won and going home until next time is evidence they're jot just evil, they're all fucking insane. Letting this go on once the conquest of Lebanon slows down is so fucking stupid.
