Not good, not good at all. The Iranians have done what they always do: draw out negotiations to their advantage...just waiting for Trump to leave office.

This is starting to mystify me.

Iran has shown no good faith so far or in the past for what that's worth.

Iran has used the opportunity to re-arm and restore some of their degraded systems.

Is the Straight of Hormuz open or closed?

To me, it looks like they are playing us until the midterms.

I swear if Trump announced he had found a cure for cancer, there would be naysayers bemoaning the loss of thousands of health care jobs. Thank you for being needlessly negative so others can see what it looks like.

So its a unconfirmed understanding to extend a fake cease-fire agreement for 60 days, while the US and Iran negotiators discuss other issues.

We have peace in our time!

"... launching negotiations on Iran's nuclear program ..."

Trump is an idiot if he signs on to that.

So Trump is taking their playbook thinking that they’re winning by finding a way to delay any actions on our part. In the meantime, he’s strangling them from being able to sell there oil which is causing them economic problems which will continue to strangle their economy. So who’s playing who on this negotiation game?

Even if he has, does anyone think for even a second that they will live up to any agreement? Have they ever?

Agreed, I would believe Jon Lovitz from SNL before I would believe the IRGC on anything.

“ What would be your positive spin on this proposed deal?”

First off, we don’t if there is a deal or what the terms of a proposed deal are. Trump could still reject it. Also, the deal could be conditional and contain certain weekly milestones that have to be met to keep the deal in place. We need to hold our powder until we see what actually happens.

After all this time, money, effort and lives lost how are conditions today or after this agreement is signed much different than they were on February 27, 2026 before the “little excursion” started on February 28?

Iran still has missiles, the regime is still in place, they can still raise hell, they still produce oil and sell it for a good profit and they still have their nuclear “dust”.

It is another lousy capitulation and retreat from a half-assed measure by the US. This time by Trump.

One more time, one more time. What do you want to bet it is another false start or end?

Too much money is being made by someones from the market manipulation of all these starts and stops.

How else can you dither all week, queer the deal on Friday, place your bets before the market closes, take the weekend off and crank up hopes again by Sunday evening when the markets re-open? Heck of a deal.
