Trump gets deal terms that would allow Iran to control the Strait, Keep its’s missile and uranium and have the blockade and sanctions lifted…
THAT IS a rough one for Trump to be able to say he ‘Won’....
(Who is Trump talking to…The Iranian civilians or Military ?….Who do NOT want anything they can’t sell as a ‘win’, just like Trump…).
With no actual active combat action….
Trump, and company say the 60 Day War Authorisation to Congress is no longer needed…..
The Republicans in Congress will most likely go along with Trump and Hegseth on this….
Meanwhile?
Iran’s military , like the US is restocking its weapons ….
Trump advises that this now could go on for a ‘Long ‘ in what this dog now calls a ‘conflict’ not shooting war…
Finally?
The Trump War action IS creating a drain on the American and World Economies due to the rising oil prices….
The Trump War has reached the disapproval level American had during the Viet Nam War, which made President Johnson sick and broken….
FYI?
I repeat….
Trump 1.0 was the beginning of the withdrawal from Afghanistan that landed in Biden’s lap….
Could this have a repeat forced on Trump?
An interesting side situation?
Israel has been helping the UAE defend itself against Iran missile and drone attacks….
Ukraine is also helping Middle East countries against Iran’s attacks…..
Intersting, eh?
ISW...Iran Update Special Report, May 1, 2026
- US President Donald Trump stated that he is “not satisfied” with Iran’s latest proposal. Trump’s dissatisfaction with Iran’s latest proposal reflects continued Iranian inflexibility on key issues, such as the nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran is exploiting the current ceasefire to try to reconstitute its missile and drone capabilities ahead of a potential resumption of conflict. Western media reported that Iran has made attempts to regain access to weapons and missile launchers that it hid underground or were buried under debris from US and Israeli airstrikes. Iran would likely use these launchers to restart its attack campaign against US interests, Israel, and other regional countries in the event of a resumption of conflict.
- Iranian media and officials are attempting to deflect responsibility for Iran’s dire economic conditions by attributing these conditions to US military and economic pressure. The US naval blockade and sanctions are certainly applying economic pressure on Iran, but the regime’s historical mismanagement of the economy, corruption, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s dominance over economic institutions have played a major role in deteriorating the Iranian economy.

Poll: Trump’s Iran war reaches Iraq- and Vietnam-era disapproval levels
Sixty-one percent of Americans say that using military force against Iran was a mistake, with fewer than 2 in 10 Americans believing that the U.S. actions in Iran have been successful. About 4 in 10 say it has been unsuccessful, while another 4 in 10 say it is “too soon to tell.” The polling numbers indicate a broadly unpopular war effort and growing economic fallout at a time when the White House has been trying to convince Americans that they are better off under Trump than under Democrats.
But support for the war among self-identified Republicans remains high: 79 percent say it was the right decision. Independents who lean toward the Republican Party are roughly split, with 52 percent saying it was the right decision and 46 percent saying it was a mistake.
Trump has indicated that the current impasse with Iran could last for an extended period, saying Wednesday that he planned to make Iranian leaders “cry uncle” and that there would “never be a deal unless they agree that there will be no nuclear weapons.” Iranian leaders — who have long denied they are seeking a nuclear weapon — say they want to reach an initial agreement to end the war and reopen a crucial global shipping chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz, taking on nuclear talks only after that….
…
Since February, the share of people saying they are “falling behind financially” has grown from 17 percent to 23 percent, while the share saying they are “not as well off” as when Trump took office has jumped from 33 percent to 40 percent. The attack on Iran started on Feb. 28.
People who said they are not as well off grew by nine points among noncollege White respondents and by 13 points among Republican-leaning independents, groups that supported Trump’s election but express mixed support for his handling of the war.
Americans also worry that Trump’s actions may have made them less safe. Sixty-one percent think U.S. military action in Iran has increased the risk of terrorism against Americans, more than the 48 percent who said this after Trump’s assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian general, in 2020. And 56 percent say U.S. actions increase the risk of weakening relationships with U.S. allies, as Trump has lashed out at European allies who have questioned the strategy behind the action against Iran, and as Persian Gulf allies have suffered from Iranian retaliation…..
