      Except Iran has lost all trust in USA, and probably won’t trust an agreement even with a new administration.
      It will probably have to be total acceptance of all Iranian terms. Including compensation for damages.

        I don’t think the Iranians ever trusted the US all that much. Just enough to make a treaty.

        And yeah, Trump is the one who tore that treaty up, and then waged an unprovoked war, so the least bad option for the Iranians is to make him eat crow, feathers and all, until hopefully he chokes on it.

      Nah. The best an adult could do would be to pull out of the region, but even if the US did that, there is no way Iran willingly goes back to the previous status quo. Iran controls the strait and the oil flow now, and it knows it. It has absolutely no reason not to fuck with the world’s oil supply at whim, whenever anybody does something it or its allies don’t like.

      This is just one of the many ways Trump has done permanent damage to the world that can’t be undone even after he’s out of office/imprisoned/dead.

        It takes less effort to smash a vase than to put it back together. That damned Second Law is a wicked pisser.
