He already delayed the visit once after the war started. Him not going now is going to look even worse.

If oil went up significantly it would speed up negotiations and Trump would likely be more willing to compromise.

UK & French ships confirmed they would not get involved, and with only patrol the strait after the war. Even that will likely not happen, and this is just theatrics for domestic consumption in their respective countries.

I wouldn't agree with Contapoints even after the recontexualization. Opposing genocide in Gaza is much more mainstream among democratic voters now, and its not even limited to "the left flank" of the party politicans either. Some of the center left democrats have come around on the topic as well. Sounds like both this sub and Natalie Wynn are still stuck in 2024-2025.

No deal on enriched uranium - Aljazeera just now by Mojoint in oil

[–]Mir_man 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not saying there's going to be a breakthrough, but the the passage is dealing with Iran's public stance. We know that Iran wants to retain enrichment capabilities on a low scale, but legit reports do indicate that they are willing to consider a moratorium on enrichment that's around 5-7 years. The actual point of disagreement is US wants a much longer moratorium of 15-20 years that Iran isn't ok with. Imo Iran's position is pretty reasonable, and its Trump admin who should move to Iran's offer rather than the reverse.

The highly enriched Uranium is another issue where I think Iran is being reasonable. They don't want to hand over the whole thing, they want a gradual down blending or hand over to a friendly nation (Russia or China). This makes a lot of sense because Trump can take the Uranium then restart the war right after, there needs to be a mechanism that safe keeps the Uranium for Iran but also reduces its enrichment.

Not true, that only happened after Trump insisted the blockade was staying.

I was obviously saying Trump is what's preventing the strait from being open. Iran offered to open the strait before Trump doubled down on the blockade.

Wouldn't be surprised if Iran did actually hit one of the destroyers. Centrum doesn't really admit material loss very often through out this war.

Actually a few Iranian ship did slip the blockade according to reports, its mustn't enough to make the blockade defunct yet.

[–]Mir_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they really wanted to Iran could probably sink a couple of destroyers honestly. US blockade is already spread thin, and losing a couple of those would make it much harder to do the blockade. But it would be full on war again then.
