But there could be a 30 day ‘cooling off period’ between the two sides….
Iran would STILL want control of the Strait of the Hormuz…Period….
It appears that American President Trump wants the Strait opened with safe passage….
That would deal with oil/gas prices worldwide and should take away the US Iran blockage ….
We now have the Israeli Prime Minister putting his ‘want’s’ from any deal….
Getting possession of the Iranian Uranium, something that experts have said quietly would take a huge and remarkable effort despite Netanyahu’s cavalier comment about just going in a just taking it….
We’ll have to see how the ‘give and take’ plays with Donald Trump, who IS tired of the waiting, and wants to get this off his plate so he can concentrate on the American Midterm Elections less that 6 months away, and securing a legacy White House ‘Ballroom’ with his name of it , to be paid for the US Tax payers…….
I’ll have more on this this evening…..

Iran says it has responded to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war.
Iran has formally respohttps://www.axios.com/2026/05/10/trump-iran-war-us-peace-plan-tehran-response-inappropriate?stream=top&utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alerts_allnded to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war, Iranian state media said on Sunday, after a tense week of attacks and counterattacks in the Persian Gulf has rattled the fragile truce.
