Interesting offer there to drop all sanctions

Maybe they can just ask for it to be on US maps alone as the Straits of Iran, like the Gulf of America.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-toughens-negotiating-stance-amid-mediation-efforts-sources-say-2026-03-24/ "In any talks with the U.S., Iran would not only demand an end to the war but concessions that are likely red lines for U.S. President Donald Trump - guarantees against future military action, compensation for wartime losses and formal control of the Strait of Hormuz, the sources said." Compensation for losses would be hilarious to see.

So taking bets on them invading Kharg after COB on Friday ?

Trump's reaction to Mueller dying is something else.

Fair enough, who knows maybe it exploded too far away. https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-calls-nato-cowards-over-lack-support-iran-war-2026-03-20/ Art of the deal, call them weak and ineffectual and then demand their help.

The video they use has to be a fake, surprised the F-35 just trucked on after that explosion, even accounting for thermals making the explosions look bigger (I recall a Ukrainian vehicle getting hit by a Vikhr that went off like a nuke in thermal)

Sounds like a Maori chant there. I should probably re-read the books.

And the US is trusted with nuclear weapons.

Sadly, I can see Canada and UK saying yes.

https://abcnews.com/Politics/hegseth-worry-strait-hormuz-us-time-counter-irans/story?id=131036790 "The only thing prohibiting transit in the strait right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that." Still amazed this guy has a job.

New WoW expansion, is fun enough questing, although they're obsessed with family melodrama and seem to have redundant characters in Anduin and Arator. Guess they'll kill one off .

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/10/politics/iran-begins-laying-mines-in-strait-of-hormuz CBS reports they are planning to do it, so who knows. Trump's response is the usual - "If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before." They'll probably end up nuking Iran.

The first two were funny and were good for adventure games these days

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/09/trump-iran-war-end.html Would be on brand for the US to walk away from this and just leave everything inflamed.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-privately-shown-serious-interest-us-ground-troops-iran-rcna262176 I'm guessing the thinking is going that since Venezuela was so easy, this will be too.

Would be amusing to see the reaction if they had died. Iran apparently tried to attack Qatar with SU24s, for some reason, they got downed.

F-15 got taken out by a friendly SAM. I guess that doesn't count as a combat loss.

According to the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/mar/01/us-israel-war-on-iran-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-i-dead-latest-reports "More details are emerging on who will lead Iran during a transition period, following Khamenei’s death. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and another official from the country’s legal council will be part of the trio overseeing the transition, according to state television which cited Mohammad Mokhber, one of Khamenei’s advisors. Last summer during the 12-day war with Israel, Khamenei named three potential successors should he be killed. Reports earlier this month indicated that Khamenei had named four layers of succession for key government and military jobs, in an effort to ensure regime survival in the face of a US-Israeli attack."
