They've promised cease fires before, said peace deal last year and over decades with many presidents, the only difference is Trump
They're afraid this time of Trump for real, as there's nobody else in the USA with any credibility, popularity or power, so they're aware he could buy the oil, pay Iran's democratic/republic separatists or worse.
They know that, they know they can end up losing the oil, that's what this is about, they're scared they'll lose their status, power, be unable to stop an overthrow.
IRGC can lose all the oil reserves, or their territory of Iran, where the oil refinery + well, can go to Democratic State or Republic of Iran, and then they'll be cast out of the UN, and they'll have major forever civil war problems.
Bush's dad HW did a similar deal with Saddam, how'd it turn out, how long did it last? People like Sarkozy who tried to humanize and cosy up to Gaddafi paid in jail many years after the fact.
US is pissed by inflation, but there's global inflation, US incomes and value and earnings are increasing--on the up 'n up.
We are following Trump's lead on it, but are doing so in the spirit of Christian tolerance, compassion and forgiveness.
A short term deal is <12 months, medium term is 1 to 2 years, if not 5, a long term or permanent deal's over 10+ years. You can't have peace without total victory, in this situation, there are too many variables, such as Israel vs Lebanon or Jordan or proxy fights or terrorist pogrom/incursions.
They're habitually dressing Hamas fighters up in civilian clothing, they used to pull out strapped explosives, now they pull off they're military fatigues to show their Al Jazeera with their fake media badges, school boy and "civilian or peaceful aid worker uniforms". There'd be no Hamas without Iran. Saudis don't sponsor them.
You tried it last year, and the year before, you got Kasim Sully-money, and then, you got Fordor like Mordor last year, this time you got Khamenei Senior, and what happens, next year?
The Apprentice, Season 2027, is the grand finale, for us or for US?
