Iran will be happy to negotiate for months.
The key thing now is that TIME is on Iran's side.
If the battlefield remains as it is in a month, Iran is stronger and America is desperate.
If it remains the same for three months, Iran is stronger and Trump has an economic and political crisis.
Every military option to open the strait, hastens more economic pain, and won't secure it.
They planned for this, it's not an accident.
Iran's negotiating hand is stronger now that before the war and it will be even stronger in a month.
They know Trump's weakness - the domestic economy and mid-terms.

That's the true marker of failure. The biggest thing we NEED from these negotiations is something we had before the war. That's a seriously weakened position. And we gave them sanctions relief BEFORE the negotiations because we needed it, so we can't exactly threaten it during the negotiations.

Iran has not yet demonstrated the ability to protect its leaders. Contingency plans and succession plans are great, but at the end of the day the leaders are negotiating to save their own lives.
This created an agency problem, where you're right - yes, as a country Iran does have the ability to play the long game, but the leaders are heavily motivated to get something done before they get targeted.
It's like when CEOs do stock buybacks to inflate the value of the company's equity rather than invest it in something that creates economic value.

US used 5 years worth of stockpiling and producing tomahawks in the first 72 hours of epic fury.

NeilDeCrashMar 26, 2026

They produce 90 tomahawks per year. It takes almost 2 years to produce one from start to finish and it costs between 2-3 million per missile, depending if the missile has been served with a kit to prolong the service life.
They fired 400 tomahawks in the first 72 hours. So around 10% of the US whole tomahawk stockpile was used in couple of days.
Money has never been the problem for US when it comes to military. It's more about stockpiles and ability to produce currently.

From [the article.](https://archive.is/20260326014358/https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-makes-frantic-excuse-after-irans-humiliating-reveal/)
"Donald Trump has claimed Iran is negotiating with the U.S. to end the current war but is “afraid” to say admit it.
Trump, 79, made his remarks at Wednesday evening’s Nation Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner.
“They are negotiating by the way,” Trump claimed of Iran. “They want to make a deal so badly but they are afraid to say it. Because they figure they will be killed by their own people. They are also afraid they will be killed by us.”
His comments conflict Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi who said the country is not currently in negotiations with the U.S. over a resolution to the war and “does not intend” to have the conversations. "

It’s not even about them being religious fanatics.
Trump faced Iran’s leadership with an existential threat so they played the one incredibly obvious card they had to play, the Straight of Hormuz.
Anyone who knows anything about the region could have predicted Iran would do this. The US military has known this for decades. One of the biggest reasons the US never attacked Iran in the past was precisely this - there is no easy way to ensure passage without massive engagement that we didn’t want to do.

It’s because Americans genuinely do not grasp the concept of a foreign nation being able to kill them. It’s so outside the sphere of understanding that we have a whole day of morning for the single time it kind of happened. It’s rare enough that one time requires constant remembrance. America bombed one of Iran’s schools & turned dozens of parents into rightfully vengeful people.
To Americans, it’s all distract from Epstein files, that silly Trump again, the gas prices at the pump. To Iran, & every other country America has terrorized for that matter, it’s life & death of entire generations. It’s America stepping onto your soil & telling you what you’re gonna do. It really is not difficult to rally people against America. We are literally terrorists, a rogue state.
It is also kind of ironic that Iranians are considered religious fanatics as if Americans & Israelis aren’t. Both justify their warmongering with faith. People just refuse to see “killing in the name of Christ” as fanaticism because Christianity is so familiar.

Honestly I don’t think Iran is seeing the same rally around the flag effect that you’d see for instance in Ukraine given how brutal the Iranian regime has been.
That being said I think Trump heavily underestimated the resilience of the IRGC, it’s literally an over 200, 000 strong army of heavily armed religious fanatics that are willing to do anything to prevent the regime’s collapse.
It’s like he saw how poorly America did in Afghanistan and figured he wanted his see how they would stack up against an even beefier, more insane middle eastern country with twice the amount of people. Such a clown show.

>Honestly I don’t think Iran is seeing the same rally around the flag effect that you’d see for instance in Ukraine given how brutal the Iranian regime has been.
Then your not watching news from outside America, or listening to Israeli propaganda.
Iranians are overwhelmingly rallying around their flag. Whatever internal conflicts they had politically have taken a back seat to US - Israeli bombing of hospitals, schools, and homes.
America is deeply divided right now, but I can guarantee you that if Russia or China started bombing us hoping either the left or right would rise up and fight the other, they would be very mistaken.
Iranians are no different. They knew this war was coming and have been preparing for it for the last 20 yrs.
>That being said I think Trump heavily underestimated the resilience of the IRGC.
In 2025, Iranians had the 6th highest average IQ in the world. The USA didn't make the top 20. We have severely underestimated not only their resilience but also their intelligence. Big mistake on our part.
A few days ago, the Iranians deployed the world's first hypersonic missiles. They also shot down a F-35 for the first time in its history. They have an air defense system they are testing out that just shot down a US fighter jet today.

What I mean is now there’s a direct thing I can point to and say “Trump and his sycophants have done *this* which has directly and measurably impacted me. Until now it was largely his own people he was damaging but now it’s the entire world.

A lot of the people I know who were (still are most likely) pro trump, just say that theyre all the same and theyre not really interested in politics, even though the last 10 years all they talked about was politics

I might add some of their arguments for Trump were:
- Kamala wants to start a war in Iran I want a peaceful president
- Pizzagate and how they hate pedophiles and Trump will bring them down and release the epstein files
- Want small government that doesn't interfere with business
- Want the country run like a business and stop wasteful spending

As an American; I apologize. Our system has failed us. There is no longer good faith in politics. It's devolved to school yard bullying and antics, with insane cliques that seem to be calling the shots. There is no accountability, there are no consequences, there is no reprimand. Donald is bankrupting our country like his failed businesses. The US treasury stated that they are insolvent! All I can say is, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that the elected officials of the untied states failed all of us, worldwide. I just hope that our democratic process still survives. We're hoping to oust these f****** fascists by the books!
Oh, but yeah! F*** those assholes! You're totally in the right!

You could also be angry at your own government for not making it easy enough for you to switch to electric by now or give you access to public transport

We have decent access to public transport in the UK. Not brilliant and far from where it should be, granted, but still miles better than the US.
As for EVs the Chinese EV companies cars here are reasonably priced and are becoming really popular. You can get a new decent speced Jacoo 5 for about £27000. We actually have more brands here than just Tesla and their ridiculously expensive pieces of c***.
The reason I don't have an EV personally is because most weekends I will drive up to 200 miles each way and park in a field for the day so there is no way to charge it in between journeys. I just don't think the technology is good enough yet.

I feel like this doesn't really mean much given the country size and economics. I use only public transport because of my health condition and it's far from decent. Better than the arse end of the rural states simply because it exists and works every so often.

Does it mean anything that the writer calls him "Mr" and not "President" Trump?
1
ADAN86Mar 26, 2026

It’s an editorial style / official salutation standard.
Major journalism outlets in the U.S. can refer to the president in a number of ways, including (assuming male) “Mr. (Insert surname)”
The way I was taught, it gives the writer a way to avoid reader “fatigue” of the same repeated term (such as repeatedly stating “the president”); but it can also be used as a subtle way of referring specifically to the man as opposed to the office itself.
I’m a little rusty but the AP and major outlets like the NYT have in-house editorial guidance that lay out how and when terminology should be used, in addition to ensuring grammatical accuracy.

If Iran “leaks” gay Trump in deepfaked Epstein videos people would fall for it and it would end his popularity.
Remember Diddy?
“The masses” were more or less ok with trafficking but drew the line at homosexuality. SMH.
It is depressing the world is still so homophobic, BUT: as a strategy *you know* Iran “leaking” deepfaked gay Trump “Epstein” videos would work.
I can’t see Iran doing it though. Too off brand.

Why send in troops if they’re begging to make a deal?
How are your Hormuz strait co-management talks going?
Why are they still negotiating after giving you a very big gift?
Why the strong-arming, name-calling and shaming of allies to get help if Iran wants a deal.?
Why isn’t your deal making as quiet as your summit with Putin in Helsinki that you emerged from stooping in obedience while Putin smirked?

Ugh, sorry to say, this is bad for US..
They are negotiating, by the way,” Trump claimed of Iran. “They want to make a deal so badly but they are afraid to say it. Because they figure they will be killed by their own people. They are also afraid they will be killed by us.”
Change they to US. This is projection

Believe you me, Iran has never indicated wanting to negotiate with Vance. There is no statement from Iran on this, while there HAVE been other clear statements from them. That idea was floated by “sources”, intermediaries maybe but not on behalf of Iran. Then picked up and twisted by media headlines. A lot of coverage is spin. Search for original sources
