Other Than That..,

After getting it closed in the first place.
Under the two-week ceasefire plan agreed to tonight by both Iran and the United States, both Iran and Oman are permitted to charge fees on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Associated Press, with officials stating that the money received by Iran will be used to rebuild the country following the recent strike campaign by Israel and the United States.
Reparations! To be clear, this clarifies the brief (er) account I got this afternoon.
To add insult to injury, Psaki continued, "today, the regime that was facing mass protests just a short few months ago mobilized hundreds of Iranians to take to the streets and form a human chain around the power plants and bridges that the U.S. had threatened to target. When the president was asked by NBC News about that, he said, without a hint of irony, that the demonstrations were, quote, 'totally illegal,' adding, 'they're not allowed to do that.' So if you're keeping track, the president insists it's fair game to wipe out an entire country in violation of international law, but if Iranians gather on their bridges and around their power plants, he says, that's illegal."
"CHEATERS! DIRTY LITTLE CHEATERS!!”
Every single Trump advisor is now - off the record - telling the @nytimes they were opposed Netanyahu's argument for the Iran war.

THAT'S how well the war is going.

Ratcliffe: "Farcical."

Rubio: “It’s bullshit”

Caine: "Standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell."

Wiles: against "being dragged into another war in the Middle East."

Cheung: "How would they explain away eight months of insisting that Iranian nuclear facilities had been totally obliterated?"
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
SO MUCH WINNING!
