The conflict was supposed to force Iran to compromise. Instead, Tehran is negotiating from a position of surprising strength.

For nearly two months, the Trump administration has insisted that Iran is on the verge of collapsing. The story coming out of the White House has remained remarkably consistent. Tehran supposedly wants a deal. Iranian leaders are allegedly making concessions. Diplomacy is progressing. A breakthrough is just around the corner. And yet every time administration officials make those claims, Iranian officials respond with the diplomatic equivalent of a public eye roll.

This cycle has repeated itself over and over again " the administration signals progress, Iran publicly rejects the characterization, Trump threatens additional military action, then the process starts all over again a few days later. The pattern matters raises a question that has become increasingly difficult to ignore: If Iran is losing, why is it acting like its the one who gets to dictate the course of the conflict?

But not Trump & MAGA and the GOP. Also posted by the clown.
Amirite?

MAGA thrives on humiliation.
These people wore Maxi Pads on their ears like The Pope had decreed it was Maxi Pad Wednesday.

They're simply hoping Iran collapses before the United States does.
I don't really see that happening. The Iranian people used to hate the Ayatollahs, and still do. But in the past few months, all the lies the Ayatollahs told about the Untied States and Israel have come true, because of Trump and Netanyahu.
If one were to imagine The West is playing a long game, including the 1953 Iranian coup and installation of a Western Puppet Government, well, that would be the kind of thing that lends ironclad credence to the ideas being the Islamic Revolution.
Trump and Netanyahu are strengthening not just the Ayatollahs, but strongmen all over the world. And this, is of course, their goal. I wonder if history will call it Neo-Colonialism.
