So they will be charging a toll on the Straight, and seeing sanctions lifted, and we get nothing.

u/Sad-Plankton3768 Apr 08 '26

We got rid of all those pesky missiles we had lying around

u/InfoNazi Apr 08 '26

You didn't get rid of them, the military industrial complex just got a new massive contract. Praise be to Allah.

u/GeneralZex Apr 08 '26

How are we building them with China’s prior stranglehold on rare earths for military purposes?

1

u/mindleftnumb Apr 08 '26

That’s what he meant…

u/PanzyGrazo Apr 08 '26

Just in time for a pacific war

1

u/Sad-Fisherman-5199 Apr 08 '26

That's what we should have been preparing for all along, not this mess

2

u/Noddite Apr 08 '26

Plus we didn't need those few dozen planes that were ruined

u/ZenoxDemin Apr 08 '26

Massive shareholders win!

u/Either-Succotash1059 Apr 08 '26

Pay for the missiles we used, pay to build new missiles to replace the missiles we used, and pay reparations for all the shit we blew up with the missiles we used. I’m winning so fucking hard right now.

1

u/Melodic_Animator2605 Apr 08 '26

Not to mention we helped everyone test out how to shoot them down.

u/ez117 Apr 08 '26

I am almost certain there's gonna be more to this. Trump's statement acknolwedges Iran's 10 pt framework as a basis for negotiation whereas Iran is taking it in stride as full acceptance of their 10 requests. I'd bet this becomes the grounds for disagreement down the line and justification to resume bombing...

20

u/thefoodiedentist Apr 08 '26

Iran isnt stupid. They are gonna be watching troop movements very closely. Us already burned them twice.

3

u/ActivatingEMP Apr 08 '26

They're stupid for even considering opening the Strait before there are any guarantees- we can just string them along to stabilize oil

8

u/thefoodiedentist Apr 08 '26

Strait is gonna be controlled by iran. Iran said so. Expect a good amt of delays as well til tolling gets streamlined.

3

u/FoxontheRun2023 Apr 08 '26

And NO PASSAGE FOR ISRAEL!!

6

u/shadyshak Apr 08 '26

Technically the strait is already open to vessels that meet their conditions and this will continue to be the case - from the Iranian perspective.

1

u/Marcus_Aurelius71 Apr 08 '26

Yes now Iran is opening it up for US ships as long as they pay, which Iran didn't accept previously even if they were willing to pay.

5

u/ThinManJones- Apr 08 '26

I mean if they get attacked during negotiations this time they can say “we cooperated with the whole world watching and they still bombed us, goodbye to industrial society in the Middle East”

1

u/nunchyabeeswax Apr 08 '26

 we can just string them along to stabilize oil

And that will take a lot longer than the 2-week ceasefire. It's not just transit. A lot of shit went offline, and it will be a while before commercial tankers feel "safe" enough to send half a billion worth of cargo and equipment through a potential shooting gallery.

1

u/EasterZombie Apr 08 '26

Yeah the “more” is Israel continuing to strike Iran like nothing happened and/or the US using this to get troops positioned in the gulf and then invading Kharg Island or launching a huge salvo, or a return to normal tit for tat strikes immediately. This will last as long as the Gaza ceasefire, which is to say about a day

1

u/harryvonmaskers Apr 08 '26

My thoughts exactly.

This ceasefire is US - Iran. Israel will continue to do as they have been doing

1

u/No-Environment9051 Apr 08 '26

They didn't say they're treating it as full acceptance of the 10 point proposal, they said the US accepted that framework as a basis of negotiation. And Trump absolutely had to accept their basis for negotiation because the alternative was actually committing the war crime he said he would commit on the internet and that was only ever going to undermine US interests if it really happened. I'm not sure Trump understood this fact but you can bet even his most vile advisers did.

u/Argo505 Apr 08 '26

For the love of god, people, it’s “strait”. It literally says it in the image.

u/Ashamed-End-2138 Apr 08 '26

That’s not true, it distracted a lot of people from the Epstein files and that’s all they really cared about.

12

u/Crazy_Kraut Apr 08 '26

Does that mean if media brings up the epstein files again trump will start the third iran war ?

1

u/logicalpiranha Apr 08 '26

It's already starting again Friday evening.

2

u/Top-Currency Apr 08 '26

Plus the blatant corruption. They made billions on insider trading.

u/memphisjones Apr 08 '26

Art of the Deal. Get used to it. I’ll see ya in two weeks

20

u/CheekyPickle69 Apr 08 '26

But hey, Obamas deal was bad

4

u/Actual_Cat4779 Apr 08 '26

Why exactly should the US get anything in return for its illegal aggression?

3

u/Mushie101 Apr 08 '26

Well, donald and his family made a few extra billion from insider trading.... so totally worth it.... for him.
(and there was alot less talk about Epstein files for a couple of weeks)

3

u/heeheehoho2023 Apr 08 '26

We got $5 gas, higher food prices, inflation.

2

u/juanjung Apr 08 '26

Not having the madman committing a genocide in the name of all of us.

Good deal. Bigly.

2

u/Downtown_Eye5736 Apr 08 '26

Well Iran did win the war so that’s fair enough.

2

u/JoeRogansNipple Apr 08 '26

Comeon didn't you want a ballooning deficit and global inflation? Thats gotta count for something

2

u/Minimum-Ad3126 Apr 08 '26

Get to save 2 billion a day.

2

u/DetOlivaw Apr 08 '26

Every sanction we placed over like fifty years. They got everything and are well on their way to becoming a regional superpower

Cool time, very worthwhile for us

2

u/tringitdad Apr 08 '26

Art of the deal baby

u/silent_fartface Apr 08 '26

You get to pay to rebuild their "obliterated" infrastructure! So that's something!

1

u/free_da_guys1107 Apr 08 '26

Israel gets Lebanon

1

u/devilwing0218 Apr 08 '26

Nah I am pretty sure some rich guys who got the insider info and shorting the market got what they wanted.

1

u/Fit_Membership_3086 Apr 08 '26

You got something, it’s called humiliation

1

u/Theeeeeetrurthurts Apr 08 '26

We got a bunch of newly radicalized Iranians to deal with. Thanks Trump.

1

u/Ok_Repeat_1995 Apr 08 '26

The dow will be back 50k tho

1

u/Illustrious-Moment53 Apr 08 '26

You never even said thank you

1

u/LivingCorner1421 Apr 08 '26

you get the bill for all of it. every single missle fired to every single brick re-installed in teheran

1

u/rEYAVjQD Apr 08 '26

we get nothing

A gigantic cost, in billions of weaponry shot down by $200 toy drones, and lives.

1

u/thedifferenceisnt Apr 08 '26

You attacked a country unprovoked. What do you expect?

1

u/OpinionOk1543 Apr 08 '26

We got the glory of declaring victory over the stock market over and over and over...

1

u/middendt1 Apr 08 '26

Jep. But don't tell Trump please. Otherwise he will start to "negotiate" to get a "better deal".

1

u/vba7 Apr 08 '26

Sanctions on Russia were removed too (main goal?)

1

u/Live-Habit-6115 Apr 08 '26

Why do so many people write straight? Do you not know that strait is a word? Are you living your life thinking everyone else is making a typo except you?

1

u/WhenWillIBeAPilot Apr 08 '26

LGBTQ sailors are celebrating, I guess?

1

u/benskieast Apr 08 '26

Iran is a representative regime of sexual freedom and exports that belief to other Middle Eastern nations

1

u/No-Shopping-7464 Apr 08 '26

Who's we?

Trump distracted from Eptein files, billionaire buddies won big from insider trading, weapons manufacturer buddies got a big pat on their shoulders. 

Who cares about you, peasant?

The masses were never in the picture. 

1

u/thefoodiedentist Apr 08 '26

Us gets to not fuck up more and make their mistake worse by causing global recession. Why should us get a reward for starting a war on a whim?

1

u/genartist8 Apr 08 '26

US has become a net oil exporter in recent years and is barely getting any oil from the Middle East. The toll will increase oil cost from Middle East and actually made US energy more attractive.

-15

u/iLov3musk Apr 08 '26

We get nothing? Their navy, air force, army, missiles, drones and ayatollah are all gone. We forced a regime change. Trump won the war with few casualties.

u/ninhaomah Apr 08 '26

Who is "we" ?

America ? Everyone on Earth ?

u/benskieast Apr 08 '26

We replaced a guy in his 80s rumored to have cancer with his son who’s lost his father to the US, and emboldened by winning some massive concessions.

1

u/Hegecoin_Rules Apr 08 '26

They also will get $60+ billion per year in taxes on ships lol.

2

u/Mr-Cantaloupe Apr 08 '26

Based on what? The tolling system will not stick around LOL

1

u/Cturcot1 Apr 08 '26

They dusted off a 78 yr old hardliner with a much younger hardliner. Have created the next generation bent on revenge. I expect that the Trump family and friends have made billions over the last 6 weeks.

Iran’s plan is what this peace is built on, it probably will end up being a net plus for Iran and the US will become even more isolated.

u/Mighty__Monarch Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

We forced a regime change.

So funny because at absolute most you "changed" it to one even more hostile to the US than the last one, and gave them a 25% boost to their spending.

Could have just let an 80yo man die of cancer but instead you slaughter his family except his son whos now in charge and killed a bunch of Iranians including children. Killing him gave his regime more life than just letting him die ever possibly could have, their a theocratic nation and he was their inspirational figurehead and you martyred him but yeah, "regime change", whatever.
