Something Important To Remember About The Imminent Peace Plan

Civilian Iranian officials are doing the negotiating, they don't have the final say for any agreement.

The leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has the final say and you can take this to the bank, the Supreme Leader is not giving away the leverage that Krasnov gave him. Iran is not giving up control over Hormuz, so then Krasnov threatens more bombings which will skyrocket the price of crude just in time for the midterms. Krasnov finds himself in a Catch 22 position, his only option is to surrender and declare victory.

There is no way the felon will suck up the level of humiliation required to extricate himself from his monumentally insane and criminal war on Iran.

The clock is ticking…if there is no deal by the time congress returns from recess, they will pass a War Powers resolution and end it for him.
