The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And they were under zero obligations once Trump abrogated the deal.

So? Only this way the sanctions stay in place. By the way, had Trump kept it the deal would already be largely over. Iran would be fully freed from sanctions right now.

Is that what you want? Do you think they deserve that?

So? Once the war ends, they'll be able to rebuild that ballistic missile production. They've got a fairly substantial industrial base to their economy overall, so you're not getting much strategic benefit from doing this.

Assuming they're still around.

BTW. You keep making the mistake of forgetting that all players in the game get a vote on the outcome. Do you honestly think the rest of the Gulf States are going to stand for Iran closing the strait whenever it wants? Why wouldn't they be talking to any and everyone about building pipelines to avoid it altogether?
