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.

I'll say that acceptance of Iran's plan is total victory for Iran. It is not clear to me if Trump actually saw the plan or just folded.

Or that isn't the plan that was agreed on as a basis to negotiate.

Then, with Trump’s 8 p.m. EDT deadline on Tuesday for the Iranian military to end its restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz “fast approaching,” the Iranian government “acknowledged reality” and “put forward a more reasonable” plan to the administration, Leavitt noted.

From there, the president and other U.S. officials “determined the new modified plan was a workable basis on which to negotiate and to align it with our own 15-point proposal,” she added.

No way to know if any party is telling the truth, but I suspect not.
