... ish. Netanyahu wants to carry on bombing Lebanon.
Given the declared (if variable) war aims and the alleged terms of the armistice, who actually won? Some sources saying the Iranians have had to give up very little and gained tacit control of Hormuz, with tolling rights. |  |

Im speaking to my team (based out there) right now about this.
the ceasefire is welcome news - however, they are still receiving alerts (the latest one was 3.30am)- so about 30 mins before news broke. id say "cautious optimism" is the feeling right now
personally - im quite angry about all of this (dont get me wrong, people not shooting at eachother is always a good thing)
but 47 days ago, noone was firing missiles at eachother, the straight of hormuz was open - everything was "ok"
now
billions have been spent
countless lives have been lost
relationships between europe and the US are irreparably damaged
major weaknesses have been exposed in the UK's defence strategy (this is a massive security issue)
the iranians now want to charge 2m per ship going through the straight
the israeli's are ignoring the entire thing and still going after lebonan
there was still no evidence that any form of nuclear weapon was ever going to be made
and trump didnt actually do any negotiations - it was 99% the pakistani's
so the main objective that trump seems to have achieved is undoing the thing he caused in the first place, but now it costs 2m more per ship?
and this is supposed to be a "win?" |  |

$40b Spent, P1ssed off allies, given the IRGC more impetus to succeed, driven up oil prices dramatically, killed growth, Interest Rates going up globally.
What an achievement for the Orange Buffoon. |  |

With Iran charging for passage through the Strait and sanctions lifted on Russian oil, the world's two most vile regimes are raking in the cash while the rest of the world is suffering financially. A tremendous victory! | | | |

He's even managed to split his own political backing in the US. Half the MAGA lot really don't like him any more. | |

He had to do something before the mid-terms to save his own skin.
Im expecting more blustering, whataboutery and claims of "wins" in the next 2 weeks from him.
they say that winners write the history books. im not sure what they'll say about this in 100 years time. | |

I suspect strongly that this has backfired. The middle ground in US politics is quite small, but this has not made them like him any more after the lethal ICE fiasco. The latter having badly affected the Latino community, who helped him into power. Doubt so many of them will be keen on giving their support again.
Some of the MAGA lot are annoyed that he's further increased the cost of living by concentrating on foreign entanglements - exactly the opposite of what they want.
Then there's the approximately 45% of US electorate who back the Democrats and are never going to vote for Trump. | |
