At this time, I would guess 60/40 for negotiations, but these extremists are hardcore, and most are willing to die to push extremist Islam on the population. Those days are gone, and there are not many options for the terrorists. They are basically done, except they can still inflict pain on locals, which needs to be resolved.
Rumors are that weapons are flowing into the country so the people can rise up and take it back from these extremists and get back to normal. No more stoning of people, or jail time for not covering a woman’s face, or brainwashing of kids with extremist views, or no more monitors walking the streets arresting people for who knows what, and the kicker is no more mass shootings of protestors. And yet the Democrats still are not in the game; it is all about taking out Trump at all costs. All IMO.
“Efforts to revive cease-fire negotiations between the United States and Iran intensified on April 6 as regional mediators raced to secure a breakthrough ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s ultimatum deadline on reopening the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels.
Iran shut the waterway after the United States launched Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, but later said it would permit ships that had no links to the United States, Israel, or any U.S. allies to pass through.
Trump told Axios on April 5 that the United States is “in deep negotiations” with Iran and he was hopeful a deal could be reached before his deadline—which he has pushed back—expires at 8 p.m. ET on April 7.
“There is a good chance, but if they don’t make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there,” Trump told Axios.
Senior officials in Jerusalem told Epoch Magazine Israel that Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan are actively working to bring both sides back to the negotiating table in a last-ditch attempt to halt the fighting and end the war.
The officials described the situation as a “race against time,” with diplomatic channels operating at full speed as the deadline approaches.”
