Change this line from : "so basically Iran gets everything it wants"

to "so basically Iran would get everything it wants under this plan".

I'm not so dumb to understand that this will be the final plan, just commenting that this is incredibly bad for the US as is laid out.

> Any review of the actual deal would show a two week ceasefire in exchange for the strait being open and safe while negotiations continue.

Speaking of this community being kinda dumb - do you really think this ceasefire is enough for all ships to go on their merry way? Deals mentioned over social media are not enough to convince insurance companies that all is safe. And 12 hours later we now have evidence of this - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/business/strait-hormuz-sh...

Also, my original point is that there is nothing in that deal that is a better long-term outcome than what we had before the war. Maybe that will change in the final deal, but the fact that the starting point of the negotiation is 100% on Iran's side is not where you want to be.
