Oil company executives are reaching out to the White House, Sec State Rubio and VP Vance to protest allowing Iran to charge tolls through the strategic Strait of Hormuz as a condition of peace talks, said one industry consultant granted anonymity to discuss relations with the administration.
Trump can't keep it straight
Does the US need NATO or not?

OBLITERATED!!!*Oops...article was obviously TLDR for Blake and he didn't make it past the first paragraph. Typical Blake
"The recent assessment is a snapshot of the damage U.S. strikes inflicted amid an intelligence-gathering process that administration officials have said is expected to continue for months. Assessments of Iran’s nuclear program after the U.S. strikes are expected to change over time, and according to two of the current officials, as the process progresses, the findings suggest more damage than previous assessments revealed."
"The U.S. strikes targeted three enrichment sites in Iran: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. U.S. officials believe the attack on Fordo, which has long been viewed as a critical component of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, was successful in setting back Iranian enrichment capabilities at that site by as much as two years, according to two of the current officials."
"A U.S. official pointed NBC News to a closed-door briefing conducted in late June by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who told lawmakers that Iran’s nuclear program was “severely damaged” and that several key nuclear facilities were “completely destroyed,” according to an administration official’s description of the briefing. Ratcliffe said the only metal conversion facility at Natanz, required for nuclear enrichment, was destroyed to the point that it would take “years to rebuild,” according to the official, who was authorized to describe some contents of the classified briefing.
Ratcliffe also said that the intelligence community believes the strikes buried the vast majority of enriched uranium at Isfahan and Fordo and that thus it would be extremely difficult for the Iranians to extract it to resume enrichment, according to the official. The United States has not seen indications that Iran is trying to dig out the facilities, two officials said.
As NBC News has reported, the Israeli government believes at least some of Iran’s highly enriched uranium remains intact but buried beneath the Isfahan facility, according to a senior Israeli government official who briefed reporters in Washington last week. The official said, however, that Israel considers the material effectively unreachable, because it is watching and will conduct new strikes if it believes Iran is trying to dig up the uranium. The official also said Israel believes Iran’s nuclear program has been set back by up to two years."
"Iran’s air defenses have been largely destroyed, making it all but impossible for Iran to defend against further strikes on facilities in the future, the U.S. official said.
“It was made clear that Iran no longer has any more [air defenses], so the idea that they can easily rebuild anything is ludicrous,” the official said."

Impeachment and removal and not just for Trump, Hegseth deserves it too
https://foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/09/america-pro-war-elites-accountable-responsibility/?utm_content=gifting&tpcc=gifting_article&gifting_ article=YW1lcmljYS1wcm8td2FyLWVsaXRlcy1hY2NvdW50YW JsZS1yZXNwb25zaWJpbGl0eQIt remains to be seen whether the cease-fire announced on Tuesday will hold, but it is already clear that going to war again was a terrible blunder. Two months ago, the Strait of Hormuz was open, Iran was contained and its leaders were unpopular, oil and gas prices were lower, and its U.S. weapons stocks were fuller. Today, oil and gas prices have soared; inflation is rising; Iran controls the strait and is earning money from tolls; and its government is younger, more hard-line, and enjoying greater public support. U.S. missile stocks are depleted, and some key facilities in the region have been severely damaged. And the entire world has been shown that the United States is led by an impulsive old man who has no idea what he is doing. At this point, there’s no reason to delay imposing accountability on those responsible for what has been an unnecessary strategic disaster.

Why are we even in Iran? Why are you okay with it? Why do you keep running from these questions?
Did you get this agreement in writing, scrah?
Can we see it?

why would Trump be so pissed off about a war he already won?
So will he wipe out their civilization now or give another extension until TACO Tuesday
technically, that is regime change
IDF officials told a closed Knesset briefing that Iran’s new leadership is “more extreme than its predecessor.” - i24 News

But we won like a month ago. Trump said.

Didn't Trump also say "not our problem, we did the hard part, you guys stop being cowards and open the Strait yourselves"
Can I get a Trump in here to please explain what we've accomplished so far?
Reported precondition: US unblocking payment if $6B to Iran to start negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
Six weeks ago it was an international waterway
Today Iran has control of it

This is excruciatingly awful. And these Republicans that know he's blowing things up are too chicken to do anything.
seems like Trump ceded control of Hormuz before the negotiation
or could do nothing to prevent it
control of an erstwhile international waterway seems like a card, a moderately powerful one
what MAGAs don't seem to get is that Trump is the one suing for peace here
don't get me wrong, I think it's likely Trump will escalate, but that will mean an even worse loss economically and politically for the USA
