considered in their totality, the persian demands are not in any way excessive but they are far beyond anything the empire could possibly accept any more than the empire could accept demands from any rebel group; 

 

It appears that we are headed for a showdown. The Iranian economy is being suffocated by President Trump’s blockade of Iranian ports, and the Iranians just gave the U.S. a one month deadline to end it. The Iranians seem to believe that they are holding all the cards since they have shut down traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump is very eager to find a way to end the war. They have submitted a 14 point plan for ending the war which is essentially a wish list of everything that they ever wanted. The Iranians know that Trump does not want a long war with Iran with the midterm elections looming, and so they are insisting that Trump accept their 14 point framework and they are only giving him one month to make up his mind…

Iran has set a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end a US naval blockade and permanently end the war in Iran and Lebanon, according to a report Saturday by Axios, Anadolu reports.

Tehran submitted a 14-point revised proposal Thursday for a framework agreement to Washington. Two sources briefed on the document said it lays out a strict one-month timeline to secure a deal covering maritime access, ending the US naval blockade and a lasting ceasefire on both fronts.

If Trump were to agree to this plan, the Iranians would not have to make any concessions regarding their nuclear program.

In addition, the U.S. would have to end the blockade, lift all sanctions, and withdraw forces from nearby countries...........more.......
