We are now up to 35 different conflicting justifications for this war. Here is one of Trumps queens real estate gurus that has turned into our chief war negotiator.
Witkoff: The manufacturer their own centrifuges to enrich this material. There is almost no stopping them, they have an endless supply. The 60% can be brought to 90%, weapon grade in roughly one week, maybe ten days.
The best diplomacy is through business. Do you think Witkoff negotiates better and is more respected by Middle Eastern leaders, or some trans freak in Biden's admin?
No good evidence for Witkoff as a negotiator. Admittedly, Iran and Ukraine/Russia are tough nuts. But with his lack of success, I don't give him any plaudits at this point.

Iran sees little point in negotiations and is going to try and trash the world economy by blocking the straits of Hormuz and blowing up Saudi oil infrastructure. Iran’s play is that they can get the Saudis and the other gulf states to pressure Trump to call off the war if they can make life miserable for them. The Straits of Hormuz doesn’t just move oil out of the Gulf, it brings in much of the food supply for the region.
The US has basically a week to either wrap this up or to gain control over the straits and get maritime traffic flowing again. If crude isn’t flowing through the Persian Gulf by this time next week, crude will be above $100 and gas will be pushing $5 (diesel is already above &4).
But the real risk is if Iran can effectively go after Saudi civilian infrastructure like their desalinization plants and oil facilities. If they do so successfully, Saudis will have to spend a lot of money to rebuild and will have to pull funds out of AI companies. That will trigger a financial crisis
In a statement Monday, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Mr. Trump made a “courageous decision” to take on a threat that no previous president had been willing to confront.
Few in the president’s inner circle voiced opposition to military action. Even Vice President JD Vance, a longtime skeptic of American military interventions in the Middle East, argued in a White House Situation Room meeting that if the United States was going to hit Iran, it should “go big and go fast,” according to people familiar with his remarks.
I recall someone once saying similar stuff about the Sudentenland.

Bingo! Trump gets to feel like a tough guy for a few months before dies and the world economy gets a painful kick in the nuts that we will all feel for years.
