The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Iran says it has achieved a great victory and forced the United States to accept its 10-point plan, according to a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council reported by Iranian state media.

As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said.

It has also agreed to accept Iran’s nuclear enrichment and recognize its continued control over the Strait of Hormuz, according to the council. Controlled passage through the waterway would be carried out “in coordination with Iran’s armed forces,” it added.

If Trump really agreed to all that (and I don’t believe it) he’d in essence be letting Iran win and even gain ground, such as charging tolls for Harmuz passage. My guess is the US and Iran are both presenting their preferred outcome, not anything actually agreed to, while they play along with Pakistan to get a bit of breathing space before hostilities resume.
