I knew the Tuesday deadline was too weird for any escalation to happen. They are gonna keep pushing bullshit hopium for the market until Friday, then probably announce the ceasefire is dead and go ahead with their attack once the markets close.

Did you see him looking up to his sworn enemy of the months prior Mamdani in the oval office, or that he agreed to fund housing. He'd probably give into Iran's demands if they buttered him up sufficiently, but there would be peace. With JD Vance there's no chance of peace because the man lives to be opportunistic, contradictory, and combative. He'd rather see the world burn than compromise for peace.
I do find it interesting that he is doing it. At the start of the war they were hiding Vance and limiting his association with the war, to protect his future potential as a presidential candidate i assume.

the news media is just state propaganda and shouldn't be taken at face value. The fact that everyone is taking the trump regime seriously is frustrating when they have been lying and it's all market manipulation. However, oil is a real resource and eventually we are going to have a shortage and it's going to be a full blown crisis. This is like pre-covid when the average American was going about like normal while the world was feeling the full brunt of Covid. The oil shortages happenings in Japan and other places are going to hit us as we burn through our reserves. My family was quarantining before things got serious then, and implore anyone reading this to prepare themselves for panic buying of gas and prices reaching unsustainable levels.

How's this going to work when both sides are basing off their crease-fire agreement on a completely opposite list of non-negotiable demands??
And it's not like the US had been particularly good about following through on agreements, and even used talks previously as a ruse to buy time when they were already intent on attacking Iran from the beginning.

If negotiations don't stall out, Vance will really earn a feather in his cap - and it's a big show of faith from the US to send the VP to negotiate. It certainly means they're taking it seriously.
If Trump doesn't finish his term, I don't think I'd be too disappointed in a Vance caretaker presidency.
