We'll see if it happens. Quote: "mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony." It's concepts of a plan all over again

#12I wonder how the stock markets will react tomorrow. I know someone who turned $6k into $150k by buying options on war related news. The logic is that the markets will almost certainly go up, so bet big at a time like this.
It sounded like an easy way to lose $6k, but maybe the upside is worth the risk. I don’t have any experience to know whether this is a sufficiently good bet though.

#14"For purposes of mine removal" -- what the hell is that line about ...
I have it on good authority that Iran doesn’t know where all the mines are buried.

#15Total capitulation by America, Israel might not even be on-board with this deal, and Trump still has 5 days to chicken out or forget.

#17Are the terms of the deal public yet? If they're essentially a return to the status quo ante bellum, that would be a pretty embarrassing conclusion for the US (and would presumably further harden any belief within Iran that the only permanent regime-preserving solution involves accelerating the process of obtaining nuclear weapons).
It's much worse than that. This gives Iran de jure control of traffic in the strait.

The commencement, duration and conclusion are all embarrassing for the US because the entire country is run by b list right wing media bros

#19With nuclear questions to be resolved at a later time. Wasn't total disarmament the core, non-negoitable for this entire conflict?
The core non negotiable for the conflict was meeting a handful of Israel’s military objectives at the expense of virtually everyone else globally.

#20Trump says "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete." The deal opens the Strait of Hormuz to all, while leaving the thorniest nuclear issues for another day. So basically the same as when the war started.
Slightly worse by the sounds of it
