    Does anyone expect this to be even as good as the original Obama deal?

    Better than going back to war and every bit of oil infrastructure in the Gulf going up in flames.

  3. Iran says the two sides are “very near and very far apart”, or words to that effect. Given we aren’t privy to details of the negotiations, this is Schrodinger’s diplomacy.

  4. The same bullshit claims by “anonymous sources” every week since 7 weeks.

    Ceasefire without the strait open will increase the risk of a recession. If is hadn’t already.

    I’m close to dating Anne Hathaway, sources close to my phone report.

  7. >The agreement would include a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a commitment to discuss Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, eased sanctions, and the phased unfreezing of Tehran’s overseas assets, the FT reported.

    This seems similar to past proposals that Trump rejected, saying that he wouldn’t stop the blockade until the was an agreement about the uranium. But maybe he’s worn down enough now to accept it for 60 days, kicking the can down the road some more.

    Both sides are buying time for strategic planning and restocking of ammunition at this point and it is just a matter of time. It is the battle of attrition- each side is buying time so that they plan and strategize to take a hit which is more bearable than the other.

    Iran’s threat is that they go down they will take whole middle east down with them and indirectly the whole world. For US, the economic destruction of a such scenario is more devastating than a nuclear bomb.

    A lot of people think oil as energy but it is only 30-40% but natural gas and perto carbons are raw materials for everything from plastics, resins, polymers, fertilizers and even in semiconductors.

    Iran will come out in a couple hours and say no deal is being discussed, we’ve seen this movie.

    The JCPOA took almost a decade to negotiate. Trump is not getting a better deal. These people are fucking idiots.

    Kicking the can down the road. Trump has no exist strategy that doesn’t involve a far inferior deal than the Obama deal he tore up. Freaking moron.

  12. Yeah yeah yeah, tomorrow oil prices will go down, then Trump will just keep pumping up the market, just to get them to sell off again….

    Dementia Don is hard at work, on the golf course, finalizing his healthcare plan. Then infrastructure plans are next, after his ballroom.

    I feel like I have read this headline a couple of times now.

    Wake me up once gas prices return to normal.

    Ceasefire after Ceasefire until they say there can’t be elections in a time of war.

    Prep for Tuesday? Pre Thursday insults and threats?

    This roller-coaster sucks.

    NGL I am stirred with confidence by the words of the Secretary of State:

    “There may be news later today. I don’t have news for you at this very moment, but there might be some news a little later today. There may not be. I hope there will be, but I’m not sure yet,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters in New Delhi on Saturday.”

    Yep. The world can sleep soundly knowing that there may or may not be something emerging.

    The somewhat likely-ish happening is totally super strong but then again, maybe no.

    Because it’s a toss up really, by then again, maybe not.

    Trump is trapped. Iran has the strait, and is holding a gun to the head of the other countries in the area. They can easily swamp UAE and Saudi Arabia with drones and destroy infrastructure. Trump needs cheap gas for the midterms, and surrendering without a nuclear agreement will be humiliating.

    He needs a distraction from his Epstein files distraction.

  19. Yeah right, Monday the attacks start again and Friday there is another peace plan almost figured out.

  20. An almost identical headline has been reported every weekend since Trump let Israel goad him into this war. I will believe it when I see it.

  21. TRIBETWELVE on

    Well trump just brought all the top defense personel into the situation room so my money is on bombing Iran again

  22. Report_Last on

    We have the concepts of a plan. They are stuck in loop of proposals and almost deals.

  23. 2hands_bowler on

    Dumb Donald can’t keep his fucking mouth shut about it, and he’s putting the potential agreement in danger of failing. Always the dumbest guy in the room. Keep your fucking hole shut until the deal is final.
