Iran complicates things?

Surely, killing the head of the state, attacking them during the negotiations and without provocation, bombing a school, declaring shit unilaterally, making up things that weren't discussed and changing your position every odd hour are things that make negotiations much easier, right?

What complicated things was the U.S. attacking Iran.

Would it uncomplicated things if we just kind of... have them Trump?

I mean, it would be terrible if he were to be beheaded on live television... but i would be willing to ensure that trauma if it would mean an end to these hostilities.

I think they’re complicated enough with heads of state being killed mid-negotiations. This doesn’t seem to change much given that the strait remained effectively closed through the ceasefire.

Well tbf, the strait was opened, then closed, then opened, then closed even more, then opened but only a little, then trump stuck his foot in it when iran tried to close it, but then iran bonked his foot with a hammer and closed it while he was jumping up and down and swearing, then it was checks notes actually there was one more go-round before we're done.

... God, this has been exhausting and I'm not even in Iran.
