Unconditional Surrender

My how things have changed. Does anyone recall this March 6, 2026 bluster by Trump?

Truth Social: There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Capitulation by Trump

How's that surrender idea going Mr. President?

Here's the latest deal rumor, widely reported everywhere.

Expected Terms

Extension of Iran War ceasefire for another 60 days

Strait of Hormuz reopened for the 60-day period

Iran would be able to freely sell oil during the period

US would lift blockade on Iranian ports and unfreeze some Iranian funds

US would issue some sanction waivers on Iranian oil

Draft MOU includes statement that war between Israel and Lebanon would end

Negotiations would then be held regarding Iran's nuclear program

The draft MOU includes commitments from Iran to never pursue nuclear weapons, negotiate over a suspension of uranium enrichment, and removal of its highly enriched uranium.

Surrender by Trump

Those terms represent a surrender by Trump, not Iran.

Amusingly, the terms were negotiated with Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Jordan, and Bahrain.

Iran and Israel were missing in action.
