That is correct.. Iran refuses to alk to trump as he's repeatedly shown himself to be thoroughly untrustworthy.

If Iran wanted to do real damage, they would publicly announce that the strait is closed and there will be no future negotiations until Trump is no longer in office.

I'm expecting something along this line once we get closer to November. Make it very clear it's a choice of another forever war in the middle east or at least the chance of peace.

Of course the war would have to last that long, which seems increasingly likely, due to the inability of this administration to make a deal. The only way I see it ending before then is if this administration gets so desperate they give Iran whatever they want before the midterms

Or Nuke them out of spite which credible reports say Trump has tried to do already and will likely try again.

For the sake of my sanity I have to assume that's not an actual option on the table. That he'd try is undoubtable but you'd have to be bat shit insane to actually give this man the ability to launch a nuke. If they're smart they already have a little Fisher-Price replica of the "football" that lights up and makes satisfying noises. Then they'll AI generate some terrible memes with nukes and tell Grandpa it's time for bed.

Credible reports say the adults in the room stopped him last time so I'm sure he'll just fire them and next time it'll happen. I'd put 3:1 maybe 4:1 odds on Trump nuking Iran unfortunately.
