Vance isn’t the president and is there to negotiate. The US is dealing with the 4th layer of management who has been emboldened to think they’re bosses. Comical tbh, but realistically we need to stop thinking the Iranians care about anything else but optics. Bridges and power plant day?
@BRICSinfo Yeah they can say this because they’ve proved they can withstand an air campaign and still harass shipping in the straight of Hormuz. They know Trump doesn’t want a sustained altercation so they can do this without impunity
@mitchellvii Iran didn’t admit defeat and concede and seemingly remained in control of the straight of Hormuz the whole time. The optics don’t suggest a big win here for Trump, but you can’t expect that from an air campaign.
@sentdefender What did America achieve here? Iran saying they’re not going to develop or procure a nuclear weapon? Okay…let’s take their word for it and trust they are going to use the billions of dollars for the good of their people (who they just massacred)
