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
Sorry I thought “trump is a coward for not doubling down and doing a ground invasion” was too stupid of a position to take. I assumed they were saying he chickened out of today’s deadline to open the strait.
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
Ok, it’ll make sense to say XD TACO if they reneg and Trump doesn’t follow through. But they’ve agreed to open the strait or there is no ceasefire agreement.
consider at least reading the headline of the post you’re commenting on
*“agrees” heavily implies two parties. CNN is not such a clickbait rag that they would have framed it like that with a looming deadline less than 2 hours away if it was just trump saying some shit unilaterally.
The title does not say Iran agreed to open the strait. At the time it was only Trump saying he would accept a ceasefire after negotiating Iran’s 10 point proposal.
Did Iran fold? They are firing missles at Israel, like right this moment
The demand was open the strait or get bombed, they agreed to open the strait as a condition of the ceasefire.
This is like getting mugged, handing over your wallet, and then saying ‘hah, I knew you were too much of a coward to stab me.’

The cost is estimated to be 500 mil per day with $31 billion spent on the five weeks of bombing seen so far.
That doesn’t include any damages, which are significantly higher
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.
Haven’t seen the straight open yet.
Have you tried offering them a massage?

I’ll bite, where is them agreeing to open the strait? I’m not taking trumps word here.
