Why is Iran’s control over the strait being legitimized? This “deal” is terrible. I prefer Trump seeking regime change and Kharg island given how far this avoidable conflict has come already. Otherwise what was even the point? Making Iran a secular democracy would be a huge win though.

So we lost several US lives, $20B (at minimum), the strait is no longer free, and gas prices will be high for at least the next year. Get this man out.
