    He doesn’t need Iran to make peace. He could literally just end the war at any time by bringing everyone home.

      He could end it but not without giving a lot to Iran to get the straight open the way it was before he started the war. There is 0 chance of him getting a better deal than we already had

        Which is why he’s gonna drag this out. There’s literally no way out of this for Trump without him looking like a loser in any scenario.

          He will look like a looser to those who pay attention. There are lots of people with a short attention span.

      Eh…

      Bibi needs an excuse to cancel Israels elections again, and I believe they’re in June.

      Even if the US withdrew today, Israel wouldn’t stop and wouldn’t de-escalate even untill after their cancelled elections.

      That also means nothing trump does can get Israel to end the war either.

      It’s a three (four if you count Hezbollah) sided war, and trump has zero influence over anyone else involved. He has no control and that’s why his dream result is “everything goes back to how it was before I started this”. In his ideal victory, he gets nothing and he’s unlikely to get that good of a deal.
