People , Please stop saying DEAL. This is not a deal, but a worthless memorandum of understanding that is not worth the toilet paper it’s written on.
The United States should take control of the Strait and maintained maximum leverage. At the same time, it should relentlessly degrade the IRGC’s ability to operate by targeting its funding, leadership, command structure, military infrastructure, energy assets, and revenue streams.
Maintain maximum economic, political, and strategic pressure until the regime can no longer oppress its own people, destabilize the region, sponsor terrorism, or threaten global security.
There is no chance of follow-through on any of the key issues. The Trump administration fails to realise this regime is deeply fanatical and is willing to put ideology above survival. You can’t negotiate with that.
