> Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirms the deployment of some US ground troops to the Middle East - but doesn't specify where. 😑 I thought that the war was “almost over in the first hour.”

"We won the war."  March 3, 2026 "We defeated Iran."  March 7, 2026 "You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over."  March 11, 2026 "I think we've won. From a military standpoint, they're finished."  March 20, 2026 "Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical left"  March 22, 2026 "A complete and total resolution of our hostilities"  March 23, 2026 "...You know, I don’t like to say this, this war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news” March 25, 2026

War? How quickly everyone forgot Trump already averted a war with Iran by bombing those supposed nuclear development sites last year.

Th1rte3n1334 Mar 25, 2026 +26
Oh right, last year… we “totally destroyed their nuclear weapons capabilities,” right? That’s why it was said last month that they were a week away from building nukes. Ya know, I don’t think it’s crazy to ask for proof from this administration since everything they say is dubious. Now it might be crazy to expect them to give proof, but asking for shouldn’t be.

Like so many Middle East wars, we won in the first hour. Now we just have to stay there for the next decade or longer until instability and insurgency makes the situation untenable, we pull out, and an insurgency group fills the power vacuum and we’re left with a more militarized, more radical enemy in the region. You know… winning.

Naw, the last card Trump is gonna play is an occupation force to clear and reclear and reclear and reclear launch sites for hitting the strait. It's a forever war for no f****** reason.
13
Nextasy Mar 25, 2026 +2
I feel like he's gonna send troops in to take the area along the strait and kharg island as leverage, and Iran is going to relentlessly shell/drone/rocket those positions for as long as the US hold them. Essentially taking as much heat off the oil companies as possible and instead sucking it up with dead and injured soldiers. This is my opinion based on the amount of respect and value he has shown for those two parties (oil companies and American troops)

Iran's demands >An immediate end to the war between the United States and Iran. >Guarantees that the US will not launch future military attacks against Iran. >Financial compensation for damage and losses suffered during the conflict. >Formal control over the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which a significant share of the world’s oil supply passes. >No negotiations or restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile programme, which Tehran considers a non-negotiable deterrent capability.
677
TheShishkabob Mar 25, 2026 +385
All of these are reasonable besides having a recognized, formal control over the Straight of Hormuz. Realistically though, they effectively have that one already.
385
Seeteuf3l Mar 25, 2026 +146
What would formal control even mean, isn't it an international waterway. And Oman might have something to say too. Or are they gonna ask some tariff, so learning from the best?
146
TheShishkabob Mar 25, 2026 +134
That's why it's not a reasonable demand in my opinion. They *clearly* can exert control over the area but a formal recognition of that wouldn't work. There are other countries that would have a say in that besides the US, Israel, and Iran.
134
WildDemir Mar 25, 2026 +48
That's the one that gets negotiated down probably. Iran has also floated the idea of retaining control until their infrastructure is rebuilt.

Iran just says “the first *x* countries that sign the agreement get a decade of free passage” or whatever. Excluding the US of course. Now they’ve got dozens of countries lining up on **their** side screaming for Trump to capitulate.

I mean... what are we going to do if they just take it? Bomb them? Seems we have gotten ourselves into a pickle here.

madcatte Mar 26, 2026 +20
By international law the straight is owned by them and Oman, it is within their joint ~20km of claimable shore or whatever it is

Money-Wealth3708 Mar 26, 2026 +19
Yes, they will most likely request a fee, tax, or some sort of stipend. This would also be considered the end of the American Empire. Our Navy is larger than the world’s navy combined, and we still can’t control international trade. MAGA was/is so stupid they couldn’t comprehend soft power, so they decided to use a hammer to communicate instead of a pen and paper.

Legitimate-Page3028 Mar 26, 2026 +2
Can I ask what deal Turkey has?
2
MarqFJA87 Mar 26, 2026 +6
The Montreaux Convention gives Turkey sovereign control over the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits (and the Sea of Marmara that connects those two), giving them the uncontested right to unilaterally shut down all ship traffic through them to any particular country, or even **all** countries. Of course, in this case, Turkish territory extends across the entire coastline of the straits and sea on both sides, unlike the Strait of Hormuz whose coasts are split between Iran, Oman and the UAE. The truly reasonable thing would be for those three countries – and, ideally, the other countries with coasts on the Persian Gulf – to form an intergovernmental commission that would be in charge of administering control over the strait, ensuring fair benefit for all member states; compare to the Senegal River Basin Development Authority.

meechmeechmeecho Mar 25, 2026 +35
Outside of the first one, all of these are untenable for Trump and the Republicans. The war is stupid in the first place. But it’s kinda silly to pretend like any of those will realistically be given as a concession.

Updated list: According to Press TV, the official outlined five conditions, including: 1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy 2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic 3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations 4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region 5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

On 4, would “all resistance groups involved throughout the region” also include all the Iranian proxies?
17
Sanity_in_Moderation Mar 25, 2026 +26
Yes. Primarily Hezbollah. Israel will never agree to that. Which means we will never agree to it. Trump agreeing to pay reparations will also never happen. The war will continue.
26

Hezbollah probably wouldn’t agree to it either. Iran is their sponsor but tmk, they act on their own and have different goals (though aligned).

Now that Iran has already been hit hard from the get go, there's nothing the US can offer anymore, so there's no more reason to accept (they initially offered to give up enriched uranium to avoid a war that no one wants). They might have assessed that the worse is behind and they can sustain this at this pace, the US/ISR can only commit more war crimes on defenseless civilians and civilian infrastructures but can no longer hurt the regime any further. And the longer it goes the more painful it's going to be to the US economy (since they pay for both the offense and isreal's defense).

el_argelino-basado Mar 25, 2026 +238
We're in kind of a hostage situation because of the strait of Hormuz If the war ends with Iranian demands met, the US is totally humiliated If Trump keeps trying to get his demands, the war will take longer, oil prices will keep skyrocketing due to the closure of the strait, and interceptors may run out before Iranian missile stockpiles Getting out of this war is like trying to get out of a swimming pool full of molasses and piranhas lol

How can this end? I don't see either side being willing to accept a deal that doesn't lean heavily in their favour, but as long as nothing changes, the cost just keeps rapidly escalating. And I don't think there's any hope for a true military victory.

I think at this point the US (and Israel) simply want to take out Iran's regime and implement a puppet leader, especially so they can have control over Hormuz and their oil again like they used to with the British However, I think if Iran is in dire straits that it will turn into a more international war with allies such as Russia coming to help Iran out since US-Israeli control of Hormuz is not good really for anyone but them.
16
Riptide2500 Mar 26, 2026 +24
Due to its considerably larger (and for its core territories, significantly more pressing) war in Ukraine, Russia is in absolutely no position to aid Iran in the event of escalation with the United States. Intelligence and advising, as they’ve done up to this point, is all they have the ability for.
24
Flouid Mar 26, 2026 +16
Yep Russian domenstic production is maxed out and already nearly 100% allocated to the ukrainian front at this point. They could not step into any other conflict without immediately paying for it in ukraine
16
justinballsonya Mar 26, 2026 +3
Estimates say they face a considerable risk of collapse in the second half of this year/beginning of 2027. They are truly in a bad place and I think everyone is still kind of denial of how bad it’s getting, even people who would like to see it happen. It would be the largest failed state since…well the Soviet Union I suppose.

Its an incredibly reasonable list of demands and there is 0 chance the US/Israel agree to it. We're in for a long one.
281
Konukaame Mar 25, 2026 +69
Aside from their demand that they be given control of the Strait of Hormuz, as that would require Oman to give up part of its territory, plus a global redesignation from its current status as an international strait. That's not something that Trump has the power to agree to.
69
Magjee Mar 25, 2026 +20
I think this is not really their contract drafted for signing, its the starting point of their negotiation   Then they can graciously relinquish control of the strait in exchange for something else
20
fxkatt Mar 25, 2026 +110
Except that demands, while firm, are also starting points for negotiations. I'm sure there are compromises with both sides' demands.
110
Alexm920 Mar 25, 2026 +51
Given Trump’s record of talking big and subsequently taking any compromise that can be framed as a victory, I can definitely imagine the US agreeing to some form of reparations if it can bring the war to an end (or at least something they can loudly proclaim as the end) before the midterms. The snag I’m seeing is that decapitating the regime and killing their lead negotiator does make it a lot harder to believe that every militia and revolutionary guard contingent well actually abide by an agreement.
51
Nextasy Mar 25, 2026 +16
There is probably some wiggle room / interpretation room for something to be provided which is "reparations" in Iranian media and "investment" in American media. Probably lots of curious ownership agreements etc.

The Iranians hold all of the cards and the US and Israel have shown they won't negotiate in good faith. The Iranians aren't going to accept anything without extracting serious concessions from the US, particularly in regards to their security. The US would have to materially show that they won't just try again in the future. Things like shutting down bases, removing troops from the region etc. Obviously the US won't agree to that because our leaders are warmongering parasites who want to control the region for their own benefit.

Xytak Mar 25, 2026 +32
Maritime choke points are going to be a real problem in the age where everyone has c**** access to drones. We could be looking at a future where the strait never opens and the only thing changing is who’s closing it from day to day.

RandomlyMethodical Mar 25, 2026 +2

Probably Houthis at Yemen and Hezbollah at Lebanon
17
lowlymarine Mar 25, 2026 +8
Yeah, these demands are not going to be accepted for many reasons, but this one might actually be the standout insane one. I thought this was obvious what would happen if this was agreed to, but I'll spell it out to the many people in this thread that haven't figured it out: 1. Iran agrees to end the war, and maybe tell the completely independent and not at all proxy groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis to cool it, they swear. 2. Said groups do not, in fact, cool it. 3. Iran shrugs and says "well we totally don't actually control those groups so what can you do? But don't forget the treaty!" 4. Israel/US/Saudi Arabia/whoever retaliate against attacks by those groups because you can't just let terrorists bomb you with impunity. 5. Iran cries that the treaty was violated and goes back to bombing oil tankers.
8
Acceptable-Peace-69 Mar 26, 2026 +2
1.5. Iran actually stops supporting those groups. This isn’t unrealistic but would be hard to prove. I’m certain there are quite a few other private parties in the world that would still support these groups with at least with enough money for them to remain a nuisance. The fact that Israel needs this external threat in order to *justify* their take over of Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank doesn’t help.
2
slurv3 Mar 25, 2026 +47
Yeah there’s no shot the Gulf States would agree to have the US withdraw from the region with an unchecked Iran. The US proposal is give up everything and the Iranian one is no you. But I’m told talks are productive for a war we’ve already won.
47
JK_NC Mar 25, 2026 +13
Having the US withdraw from the region isn’t one of the five reported conditions in this particular article.
13
slurv3 Mar 25, 2026 +8
Maybe they withdrew that part from their peace plan, but honestly I don’t know because this was the original peace plan I saw from Iran. I think that’s part of the issue that no one is actually communicating well and everyone is disputing what people are saying. https://www.cnbctv18.com/world/us-iran-ceasefire-talks-what-tehran-demands-against-donald-trump-peace-plan-us-bases-compensation-hormuz-ws-l-19874881.htm https://www.news18.com/world/iran-demands-closure-of-us-bases-in-gulf-other-demands-in-exchange-for-15-point-peace-plan-ceasefire-conditions-us-israel-iran-war-middle-east-ws-l-9995558.html

Yeah this war isn't ending any time soon. Thanks Trump! Gas is now over $4 a gallon for me in my small rural town where we're usually VERY below the national average, and now we're deploying more troops for on the ground action! Man I love this war, we just can't stop winning here!!! It's been hilarious to see conservatives do their mental gymnastics as to why this war is a good thing actually, after they spent the last 4 years screaming Biden and Harris were going to start WW3 and how Anti-war they were. If I have to hear "Short Term pain for Long Term gain" from these losers one more time, I think I might actually go crazy. We certainly gained a lot for being in Afghanistan for 20 years, so why not do it again?

Don't you know Iran possess a direct and immediate threat to the average American with all their weapons that can't reach the United States? Meanwhile, Russia.....never mind.

Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: "We must attack Iran." Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait." Mar 22: "Iran is Dead."

Perfectly illustrates the narcissist prayer to a t; That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

This current war had nothing to do with nuclear missiles but trump and bibi’s personal battles. One is the Epstein files, the other with a corruption trial. Very convenient for both of them to go after Iran once again deflecting the world’s attention somewhere else.

Why can’t we just stay out of the Middle East? I know. Oil and gas. I’m an idealist who wants clean energy and no more violence. We need to deal with our own myriad of problems.

The irony is the oil and gas are optional at this point. Unlike in the past we could replace it. We stay in the middle east because of the oil money and how it finds its way into our political systems.

According to Press TV, the official outlined five conditions, including: 1) A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy 2) The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic 3) Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations 4) The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region 5) International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

Israel would literally sooner nuke every city in the middle east and as many as they can get in Europe and beyond if they tried.

These are atleast reasonable demands. If this is true it’s a good sign, normally it would be some insane stuff about Israel and stuff. This whole thing is just dumb. The only way to win with Iran is with revolution. America is going to be very hurt by this. No major wars in ages, massive technological changes. Everyone would expect America to be able to just shut off drones magically and do some insane things but I think we are seeing something the world is going to wake up to. America was a super power throwing massive amounts of money to its military. This turns out to have been bad, American military is now old fashioned. Using bombs worth millions to take out drones that cost thousands. Ukraine proved the old ways of doing things are over. If the American military doesn’t have the tech to deal with the c**** drones then they are fucked. The poorer countries had to be more careful with the spending and that led to most cost effective ways to do things. America would innovate but being a few years ahead isn’t enough when the others are operating far cheaper. Ukraine is holding out against Russia its neighbour, imagine USA fighting a bigger country from the other side of the world. This was beyond dumb. When was the last time a long distance war was successful? Hell when was the last time any war was successful? Trump had already trashed America, at-least America still had the appearance of the strongest military but do they now? Iran is going to show the world American military is not that strong and then America will have lost its top spot at just about everything imaginable. What is America number 1 at anymore, military spending I guess but that’s a negative if the military isn’t the strongest.

The idea that the USA will just give Iran de facto control of 20% of global oil trade is laughable. It’s worth noting how Iranian propaganda aimed at western audiences would have it seem like Iran holds all the cards and isn’t hurting while the reality of the situation in Iran is likely horrific for many Iranian citizens and the current supposed leader ran off to Russia

I'm not going to say Iran is winning by any measure. However it does seem like they control the straight. At least enough that they can close it with minimal resources and effect most the global economy

The last one i think is the only "no way is that happening" demand. Don't think we have the power to make that call since what? 3 countries border the Straight?

Oliver_W_K_Twist Mar 25, 2026 +6
We also hardly have the capacity to enforce the cessation of hostilities by rebel groups within Iran. Whether we were or are funding or agitating them, we can't make them stop. I assume part of the reasoning behind this demand is the belief , true or not, that the US caused the riots that were used as the casus bellum.

Last 3 conditions are not possible so this is a waste of time. If Iran is requesting for reparations, then they also need to pay for their damages to the Gulf countries.

It's clear the two sides are talking. Clearly the same story is coming out in Iran that's coming out from Trump. Glad to see this is clearly just about wrapped up. And look what he'll achieve, if he achieves it? A nuclear deal that's almost as good as the one he tore up.

“International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz” - Iran Yeah . That defeats the purpose of Cheeto Mussolini’s actions in the first place.

Iran’s demands aren’t insane for the position they’re in, but, does that mean they also stop funding proxy groups around the globe? I doubt it. Regardless Trump and Netanyahu won’t agree to it

The problem is you can’t trust any treaty or deal signed by Trump and this regime.
