    As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media.

    Yeah… none of this will happen. I hate Trump and this illegal war is abhorrent. That said, if you take Iranian state media at face value I have a bridge to sell you.

      That is a huge issue today… American state media and Iran state media are basically guaranteed to be lying.

      If you add the complete capitulation of journalism in general, there is not a single source of information that can actually be trusted.

      I guess we MAY see what actually happened based on what reality displays

      My thoughts exactly. There are multiple points in the plan that I just can’t see as being tenable long-term. The readiness the US accepted it sounds like a delay to either get the stock market back up or for those Marines to get across the ocean. I doubt the ceasefire makes it the full two weeks.

      To a degree it’s already happened. US forces retreated from a lot of bases when they started getting drone attacks. So they’d have to actively move back to the Iranian border regions.

      The sanctions and the rest will be a whole bigger thing that probably won’t happen in full.

        Don’t know if its true or not but I heard a lot of the bases have been bombed into oblivion at this point.

      Not really concerned about the sanctions, no one should be doing buisness with the US or US affiliated countries anyways, but the US withdrawing would be really swell.

      Yeah. Dummies hate Trump so much they blindly believe and support anybody in opposition to him.
