Iran Super Thread- Merged

It's hard to see this work of fiction becoming more like non-fiction every day

"Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible." George Orwell

Iran has claimed to have fired at a U.S. base from which attacks were launched. If they only fired a missile or three, probably it’s a ‘face saving’ shot that they knew wouldn’t get through to hit anything.

Sounds like Iran shot at another ship today, without success, the U.S. shot back at something, and now Iran has fired at least one ballistic missile at Kuwait…

I don’t see this suddenly resolving quickly.

But they are so close to a big, beautiful deal....for the fifth time.

According to CNN:

US and Iran reach tentative deal to open strait and start nuclear talks​

But...

A tentative agreement has been reached in talks between the United States and Iran, US officials said Thursday, though President Donald Trump hasn’t signed off on it and the situation in the region remained tense.

Trump’s approval will be key to any agreement, officials cautioned, and the president said a day earlier he wasn’t satisfied with the current state of talks. It also wasn’t clear whether Iran’s Supreme Leader had given his sign-off, another necessary step toward ending the conflict.
