US draft peace deal with Iran includes '$300 billion' reconstruction fund as Trump withholds final signature

The idea that any of this will be an option being considered 60 days from now. When they aren't considered today is farcical.

The global economy needs Hormuz open, so Trump opened it.

-If Trump really wanted to take Kharg he would do so. Instead of signing this stinker of a deal with all the political fallout.

True. We don't need Kharg island when our blockade works.

-If Trump would really want to bomb civilian infrastructure he would have done so at any of the 15 times or so he threatened it. Instead of signing this stinker of a deal with all the political fallout.

Bombing Iran's powerplants is on the table, but that only creates hardship for the people not the regime

-If their truly was an alternative to the straight shipping companies would have taken it. Instead of incurring the cost of shipping just sitting there. The capacity to ignore reality even when that reality is staring people straight in the face is truly baffling sometimes.

Not true. The US opened a new lane closer to Oman but the ship owners refused to use it.
Similarly, our gutless NATO "allies" refused to help us open Hormuz with escorts.
