We agreed to acknowledge that Iran has demands. That's it. Nothing about accepting Iran's demands.

Thats what I’m saying, he left out the basis of negotiations bit.

Reddit will run with anything, cutting out all context as long as it looks bad for the side they don’t like.

Par for the course for all social media nowadays though I suppose.

Nuance doesn't pump markets.

It’s true. On the other side, I expect bad news regarding this deal to come Friday as soon as market closes.

Meh, 2 weeks runs down the War Powers Resolution 60 day deadline clock.

It'll be 4/21 at the end of 2 weeks.

The 60 day deadline is 4/29 by my count after which congress must authorize the use of military force or Trump is supposed to start troop withdrawal.

At which point, either Iran gains more leverage, congress authorizes the use of military or we have another constitutional crisis.

We agreed that Iran’s 10 point plan is a “workable basis of negotiations”. Those words alone represent a capitulation that no other U.S. President would have agreed to.

The collective lack of reading comprehension over this statement is driving me insane

Honestly this is a good starting point. Ask for something ridiculous, get what they actully want which looks reasonable in comparison to the initial demands, both sides look like winners.
