Trump’s Endgame Is Surrender

President Trump is reportedly negotiating a "letter of intent" with Iran to formally end the ongoing war and initiate a 30-day negotiation period, which the author characterizes as a surrender. Iran has gained leverage during the conflict and is making maximal demands including war reparations, unlimited uranium enrichment, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. The article suggests Trump's threats to resume attacks have been bluffs and that Iran is using the ceasefire to consolidate control over regional shipping routes.
