the thing is, iran wants to hold out until the mid term elections and hopefully pressure trump into being forced to end it via congress
iran will never actually give up the nuclear ambitions. there are two ways to do this, and they both involve more active war. regime change or destruction. it's always been this way for 47 years.
they came, they conquered/killed etc. they continue to do so. these are the types who will die fighting for their religion and beliefs, happily. bowing to the enemy is not an option of theirs.
even if what trump says is all true and their entire military is decimated and they are basically doomed, the ones left will continue until they're removed one way or another. there is no "deal" that will be upheld. even if you get their signature on paper, these people murder iranian citizens for anything they seem disrespectful to their religious mission. they will do what they want, how they want, when they want.
can we be perfectly honest here? the narrative is this is all worth it so they don't get a nuclear weapon? wasn't midnight hammer so good that it made it impossible? all one has to do is realize that lie to know that everything precipitated afterwards is more beating around the bush and exaggerations.
to make it worse, as long as iran can continue to manufacture missiles, they'll be an aggressor to anyone they see trying to tell them what to do.
