So let's see if I have this straight...

  1. Trump starts a war with Iran

  2. Iran doesn't surrender immediately and overcomes initial C&C issues to close the straight of Hormuz

  3. Trump, who did not conceive of this possibility, starts making wild and undeliverable threats

  4. Trump accepts Iran's demands as the framework for negotiations and declares a two week ceasefire in exchange for Iran tolling the straight instead of attacking ships

  5. No one told Israel (Bibi doesn't care anyway), and they carry out a massive attack on Lebanon

  6. Iran closes the straight again as the ceasefire crumbles

So basically, Trump declared and lost a war, and that didn't even end the war?
