Let the spin begin. Both Iran and the US will claim victory while Israel sulks and waits for the whole thing to unravel (because nothing is really agreed). A massively disruptive and wholly inconclusive war in which Iran nevertheless emerges relatively better than its foes in the short-term. At the strategic level, a fiasco for the US and strategic failure for Israel. And more misery and despondency for the Iranian people.

The Strait of Hormuz will be legally run in cooperation between Iran and Oman, according to Iranian state media

You’re right. He put himself in an untenable position.. gave Iran more power than they had pre-conflict. Problem is more air strikes will either have limited impact or have to hit energy infrastructure the creates lasting global disruption, nevermind the counter strikes around the gulf on other countries’ infrastructure. My money is still on an Iranian Hormuz toll (conservation fee), unfrozen assets, nuclear inspectors but no program elimination, and a twisted declaration of victory. 2 weeks or less…midterms looming

My Personal BEST CASE SCENARIO For Every FBS Team (Post-Spring Version)

WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)

For seven consecutive seasons since 2019, the Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed outfielder Andrew Toles, who has Schizophrenia so he could keep access to the team’s health insurance and mental health services. He wasn’t expected to return to the field but the team support allowed him to continue to receive, medication, therapy and counselling.

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution. This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel. Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability. It is important we get this right.
