      Did Iran fold? They are firing missles at Israel, like right this moment

          Do you remember why the strait was closed in the first place.

          This is like knocking over someone’s sand castle, getting your ass beat for it, they agree to stop if you rebuild the sand castle, you do and declare victory

              It is, the right position is he should have never started it the first place. Now he’ll scream victory and leave. Only costed millions, if not billions, of dollars and thousands of lives. Such success

                    Infrastructure repair around the gulf, hundred billion range, more if bombing continues.

                    A few trillion in economic damages around the world probably.

                    Reputational damages to the USA resulting in less trade, borrowing costs, etc. is up to a trillion per year in the coming years.

      when his demands were met?

      were they?

      Iran did not give up its uranium, nor was there regime change. The only thing he got was getting the strait open, but that was never a problem before the war he started.

      Have we actually heard anything directly from Iran about this, or just Trumps blabbering? Just because Trump said it doesn’t make it so.

          Wasn’t the strait technically open “in coordination with Iran”? Drop them a couple mil and you get through.

            Exactly, they were already coordinating with various countries to let ships through. I believe the number of ships has been steadily increasing. Every agreement Iran makes cements their newfound sovereignty over the strait including this ceasefire.
