Iran rejects US ceasefire plan, issues its own demands as strikes land across the Mideast

The majority of comments I see from conservatives on this is to simply complete blockade or bomb all power and infrastructure to "send them back to the stone age" -- that is, when the commenters aren't calling to simply outright nuke another country. The same party that was trying to shame the left for focusing on civil rights violations at home while Iranians protested is now chomping at the bit to pretty much just kill everyone in Iran because winning. The level of cruelty and sheer stupidity among American conservatives is frankly terrifying. These people are not safe. In most spaces they effectively outlawed opposition viewpoints long ago and they don't participate in mainstream subs because they are snowflakes and can't tolerate people shitting on their viewpoints (even in these safe spaces, anyone not towing the line of the day hard enough is quickly reported and banned). I've never seen an echo chamber more unnerving than the ones Republicans are manufacturing for themselves.

I am going to be so excited when he announces the cease fire and surrender of Iran, and Iran just keeps the war going and keeps ships from transiting.

The White House already said Trump never had a 15 point plan. So how can Iran reject something that never was?

What happened to the "big beautiful gift"? Im assuming it was a personal gift / bribe that he pocketted then ignored.

Shocked I am. Shocked /s

Iran's long standing doctrine for this war (that they've expected for decades) is; 1 survive the first strike (air assault) 2 grind out a protracted conflict 3 make the enemy quit. They always knew they'd take all the damage up front and then power shifts to them when it gets ugly. The turning point was a week ago. They will not make any concessions because this is when they inflict their damage (to the US and world economies), during the extended conflict they've been preparing for. They can withstand the pain of war for months and they know America can't. Trump was in a powerful position five weeks ago when negotiations held the threat of regime destruction if they didn't make a deal. Now that they've survived that, they have no reason to negotiate until they inflict maximum economic damage, just as they'd planned.

This will be interesting, Trump isn't used to two-sided interactions.

But what about the super nice expensive gift the sent?
