    1. News snippet:
      CAIRO (AP) — Iran has offered to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting its blockade on the country and an end to the war, while proposing that discussions on the larger question of its nuclear program would come in a later phase, two regional officials said Monday.

      U.S. President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, which was passed to the Americans by Pakistan and would leave unresolved the disagreements that led the U.S. and Israel to go to war on Feb. 28.

      With a fragile ceasefire in place, the U.S. and Iran are locked in a standoff over the strait, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas passes in peacetime. The U.S blockade is designed to prevent Iran from selling its oil, depriving it of crucial revenue while also potentially creating a situation where Tehran has to shut off production because it has nowhere to store t

      >U.S. President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer

      Ofcourse- It is too sensible as a decision to accept.

      Part of me wonders if Donny wants to keep oil above 100/barrel, so Russian economy can sustain. They’re in complete shambles and Oil’s the only way they survive.

      It seems like everyone is referencing the same Axios report with no independent confirmation? Is that right?

      How is that a good deal? They’ve been talking about the nuke issue to no end, which led to the war.

    5. If this happens there almost certainly will be another war in the future, because nothing will have changed that caused this war in the first place. Although they have been significantly set back, Iran will return to develop its ballistic missile and nuclear program, and Israel would attack Iran again in the future.

      The strait isn’t the main issue for the US, the nuclear program is and always was. So they won’t accept it. The strait closure is however an issue for the rest of the world and Iran knows this – hoping that this offer will have other countries put pressure on the US to remove the blockade. I don’t know how much runway Iran has left though, the blockade is doing massive economic damage to them likely worse than any bombs did. At this rate I don’t think any agreements will be reached unless the IRGC is wiped and that will be messy beyond what the US or Iran will be able to stomach.

    7. And without giving up any nuclear material or stopping enrichment. If trump agrees to it he is the biggest clown ever, it would basically mean nothing happened but destroying military equipment on both sides and troops dying

      Its a Bait and switch 

      offer to open up the strait then once the blockade is removed and all the Iranian tankers leave they will reintroduce the toll system 

      Once the US restarts the blockade they will have to start from day 0 again and it will take another 1 month before iran trys to negotiate again

    9. Pressure is working. Basically Iran only has so much capacity to store oil something like 13 million barrels before they either have to shut their wells down causing permanent damage that can take a year and lots of money to repair/replace or simply burning off excess which is an environmental disaster for Iran and a waste of money. An oil economy can’t afford either option. They are reaching their capacity to store oil in the next say 5-15 days and are running out of options which will cause them to capitulate if the blockade held.

    10. Doubt this is seen as a win by those who started this therefore blockade goes on.

    11. Well, how are they going to open the Strait of Hormuz? As a toll booth system that runs through their territorial waters? That’s unacceptable to the world if that’s their reopening term. On average 100 to 130 ships transit Hormuz everyday when it is open and free navigation as it was before this war.

      Why would Iran give up their biggest leverage tool when they have been demanding the US agree to their ten point agreement?

      Only thing I can think of is they don’t want to shut in their oil wells that will screw up their production because they are running out of storage space! Heck they bought or are bringing like a 30 year old tanker to fill for storage, but it’s only going store two days worth! They also could be concerned about the US snatching a lot of the oil on the water which is like over 180 million barrels! US could snatch the unflagged ships and claim them, and any other flagged ship they could hold or make it sail to a port.

      Iran’s economy is fully dependent on oil so this could be causing more pain than many thought it would. If they had to shut in wells they won’t get their preshut in production levels back and that’s not good so that could be on their minds as well.

      Iran must all laugh at their round table before issuing these statements. Like deep long belly laughs.

      How can we justify a $2 Trillion military budget without wars though?

    14. TheMartini66 on

      They should troll Trump and offer to reopen the strait in exchange for the unredacted Epstein files.

    15. Everyone on the planet knows Iran will at the very least buy a nuke after this right…

      I cant be the only one to understand that that’s how this ends… Iran will have a nuke because trump could t just let Obama’s deal live on…

    16. „We can return to the situation before the war if you agree to end the war.“

    17. So, once again, Trump has “solved” a problem he created in the first place.

    18. WeakTransportation37 on

      So, I’m not sure offer was really made?? Is this for real? Maybe it is, but it looks like trump would turn it down anyway

    19. Consistent_Pitch782 on

      This is due to Iran’s oil storage reaching capacity. Once that happens,Iran will have to shut in wells, which will cause long-term damage to their production capacity. The fallout from that will be sure to get the IRGC riled up.
      Once the real decision-makers feel pressure, there will be a chance for change. But with this administration, who knows how it will go.

      Iran is proposing this to show to the world (those that care to listen) that the US is not, and has not, been serious in our ’negotiations‘ and that our word means fuck-all
