LOL

The first demand is the US not threatening Iran. They are doing this so it fails or just for shits and giggles.

I am like 80% sure that was the first point in the famed Versailles MOU and Trump threatened Iran like 24 hours later.

Bizarre to describe it as complicating efforts. The US and Israel need to fuck right off. They started the whole Epstein wars in the first place. Their existence is what complicates efforts

"[Iran’s Supreme National Security Council] called for the United States to lift its naval blockade and sanctions on Iran, withdraw the U.S. military from around Iran, pay war reparations and release frozen Iranian assets, as well as end attacks on Iran’s allies in the region and threats against the country."

What an unreasonable list of demands, how dare they complicate things.

I can't seem to read this paywalled article. So please correct me if I've made any errors with the content below.

Iran's list of demands are complicating efforts?

I wonder if the source of the complexity is rooted with Beelzebibi having persuaded President Pedophile - strongly against Pentagon analysts' warnings - to start a war.

They started their war. And they promptly lost.

I'm told: To the victor belong the spoils.

I don't believe that's very complicated.
