We now have the list of Iran's "demands" that made Trump lose his sh*t and stamp his tiny bone spurred feet in rage.

The list submitted by Tehran includes demands for compensation for war damage sustained during the now 10-week conflict, as well as recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route.

Iran is also demanding that the U.S. end its naval blockade of Iranian ports, lift sanctions against the country, guarantee no further attacks—including in Lebanon—and end the U.S. ban on Iranian oil sales, state media reported, via Reuters and The New York Times.

Trump appeared to fiercely reject the proposal in a Truth Social post shared during a frantic Mother’s Day posting spree on Sunday.

Trump is highly unlikely to agree to pay Iran reparations linked to the war, nor support Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz—the largely closed-off passageway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil supply normally passes.

maybe so, but we owe iran, at least 159 ships (unless, of course, iran never had that many sunk ships..)

but the timing will be such that a dem has to actually write the check and take the blame.

Trump has successfully cowed / spayed / neutered Congressional Republicans, and he thinks he can replicate that same fear and fealty with Iran.

He can't.

They know exactly WHO and WHAT he is, and they don't care.

Iran attacking their neighbors and unarmed neutral ships is hardly "winning" against the US.
Does turn a lot of countries against them though, good job!

If Trump goes back in and bombs all their power plants & bridges as he has threatened are they still "winning"?

Nowhere is this allowed. Iran has held the lane hostage with their threats for decades. That is not Iranian water.
