@alexbward @shelbyholliday Iranian here; Alex are you an idiot? Trump can't end the war unilaterally. Do you know why? Because IRGC has said the strait is closed until US pays war reparations. As soon as Trump pulls forces back, they totally close the strait and gas price make it

@alexbward The key phrase here is Trump got to announce his triumph at Mar-A-Lago and receive applause. That is what he cares about. When the applause stops he gets mad. Then looks for something else that will bring the applause.

Trump signed MOU in June.
Asked by confidants why Trump went for a temporary deal, the president pointed to new internal White House polling: Nearly 80% of Americans wanted an agreement to end the conflict, no matter its contents.

Trump fumed about the backlash to the war, asking aides why Iran wouldn’t back down under military pressure.
He was torn on best way forward. In mid-April, during ceasefire, Trump asked a friend if he shouldn’t just “bomb the shit” out of Iran.
Friend said no: avoid a quagmire

On day Israel killed Khamenei, Feb 28, CIA Director Ratcliffe and Iran envoy Steve Witkoff briefed Trump during a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
He was so pleased that he had his aides deliver the news to the crowd.
The room burst into applause, pleasing Trump.

NEW: Days before Trump launched the Iran war, Trump summoned then-ODNI Tulsi Gabbard to the Oval Office.
He asked if the U.S. should go to war.
The IC assessed killing Khamenei would usher in hardliners, regime would close Strait, and Iran would attack in MidEast.

Vance pushed a more cautious approach: mix of sanctions pressure & diplomacy. If Iran didn’t cave, legitimized attack.
But Trump was swayed by Pentagon briefings on “decisive” options.
They detailed risks, Trump said military could handle them. Hegseth & Caine agreed.

Asked by a reporter why Trump described it as "economic D-Day" against Iran, only to give warnings Monday to countries, Bessent said:
"We are giving everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior. Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?"

@alexbward There should be an arrow down for Witkoff and Boy Wonder taking time from "negotiating" to figure out how they can make more money in the region while "working" for the USG.
