and did Trump consult JCS over withdrawal of all US troops from the region?

What do Kuwait and Iraq think about that? Iran will probably try to complete their takeover of Iraq with help from Russia. Then their combined control over the strait plus the oil resources of Russia, Iran, and Iraq and they'll probably invade Kuwait since it used to be part of Iraq.

Some deal Donald. But, Maybe that was Putin's plan all along? A re-orientation of the Middle East around Iran with Russian backing instead of around Saudi Arabia and Israel with US backing.

its proxy forces beyond infusing them with zealotry and hatred and supplying them with weapons.

When Hezbollah broke the cease fire, it was all over.

The "deal" was a bad one, the US getting nothing while Iran was going to get insanely rich.

Fatso and his gang of loyalist generals have bungled this so badly that I think the only solution is for the US to withdraw. It has become such and intolerable mess that other nations will have to be the ones to sort it out. It's humiliating, but I can see no other path out of it. Negotiations will not work and this administration is incapable of planning any sort of military intervention beyond giving Donny a bunch of big booms that do little.
