Iran&#x27;s 10-point plan includes:<p>1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again<p>2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire<p>3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon<p>4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran<p>5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies<p>6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz<p>7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship<p>8. Iran would split these fees with Oman<p>9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz<p>10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations

I don’t see how the majority of comments paint this as a victory for Iran. Your entire formal military apparatus was destroyed, nuclear sites in rubble, defense industrial complex leveled, two levels of leadership KIA, and the only thing preventing you from permanent destruction or regime change is an impotent threat of attacking ships? I guess I’m missing something. War sucks but in this case Iran is a shell of the threat it was a month ago.

Better article with text: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;us-news&#x2F;2026&#x2F;apr&#x2F;07&#x2F;trump-iran-war-ceasefire" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;us-news&#x2F;2026&#x2F;apr&#x2F;07&#x2F;trump-iran-w...</a><p>&gt; Israel will also agree to the two-week ceasefire, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official, adding that the ceasefire would enter effect as soon as the blockade of the strait of Hormuz ceased<p>There’s the catch.

We already attacked Iran twice during &quot;talks,&quot; is there any indication that we mean it this time, or are we just going to bomb them again while negotiations are ongoing?

Does this mean that Iran will have functional nukes in two weeks? Given how previous &quot;ceasefires&quot; turned out (blowing up their leadership), I don&#x27;t think they are naive again and don&#x27;t seem desperate to end it.

OK I guess it is pause time. US and Israel are probably restocking on whatever missiles they can get, while Iran doing the same, and Russian&#x2F;China rushing stuffs to Iran through sea and railroad.<p>At least I got a cheaper tank of gasoline tomorrow…

&quot;Iran&#x27;s Supreme National Security Council announced that Iran has achieved a major victory, compelling the United States to accept its 10-point plan. Under this plan, the U.S. has committed to non-aggression, recognized Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, accepted Iran’s nuclear enrichment, lifted all primary and secondary sanctions, ended all Security Council and Board of Governors resolutions, agreed to pay compensation to Iran, withdrawn American combat forces from the region, and ceased hostilities on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.&quot;<p>Can&#x27;t see this holding

<p><pre><code> &quot;We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.&quot; </code></pre> The ten point plan which had previously been rejected outright? The 10-point plan which leaves Iran in an incredibly better financial position? So, apart from blowing up children, what did the US gain out of this?

Weird how Iran is able to come to a ceasefire when their whole leadership has been killed times over. Who exactly does Trump think he’s negotiating with?!

As expected by everybody, the USA loses again.<p>Much damage inflicted on the civilians of yet another randomly selected smaller, weaker, poorer adversary.<p>Many battles won. Many tactical victories. Spectacular actions and war crimes by highly trained soldiers.<p>But at the end of the day, another humiliating defeat.<p>Not a single war won since the second world war.

How can USA start a pointless war, not suffer any retaliation on its own soil, agree to the tolling system, and lose the war?<p>On that alone Trump ought to be excoriated and removed from office.

Always look at the actions, not the talks.<p>Reality on the ground is: US has been amassing troops in tens of thousands. Their mercenary IDF is claiming territory like a field day. Market has barely capitulated (which is the only thing this admin care about).<p>I expect this is just Trump buying time until he launches ground invasion after two weeks of failed negotiation. You don&#x27;t spend millions sending tens of thousands of soldiers and billion dollar worth of hardware to just call them back to base.<p>Trump will &quot;negotiate&quot; and then in the middle of negotiation start a ground invasion just like they did in the past while they map all the military targets for ground invasion (which is hard to when missiles flying all the time). Possibly also replenish their interceptor stocks from other regions which has been running low.<p>If you follow the kind of people advising him and have his ears (Witkoff, Kushner, Loomer, Levin) they are all for ground invasion.<p>But yeah, win for US. Oil prices will rebound giving economy the breathing time. Possibly also time to arm the insurgents to regroup for regime change.

Let&#x27;s not forget the road to war started in 2016 when Trump walked into the White House at withdrew from the JCPOA. He&#x27;s wanted the war for years, got it, and lost it.

Look, I&#x27;m glad we&#x27;re pausing this. But I&#x27;d like to understand why an article on the pause shoots right to the top, but news of a tweet from the president indicating a plan to annihilate a whole country does not see a similar rise to the top.

I wonder why this post is worthy of staying on the HN front page but all the articles about Trump&#x27;s threats that &quot;A whole civilization will die tonight&quot; got flag killed.

Didn&#x27;t the US and Israel gather intelligence during previous &quot;talks&quot; which ended up with senior Iranian leadership dead? It seems unlikely that this relationship would be fixed by now, and a deal would require big concessions from one side... of which one is polling real badly at home currently.<p>Between the threats to NATO allies, high oil prices, lifting of sanctions on Russian oil, US personnel losing their lives, military equipment losses, and broken campaign promises... I don&#x27;t think this is something you just walk away from. It&#x27;s still not clear why we&#x27;re there in the first place; one could speculate that Trump was convinced by Israel that this operation would be like Venezuela which seems plausible because no US intelligence agencies backup the notion that Iran was developing or trying to develop nuclear weapons.

I don&#x27;t understand enough about the US system of government. Are there any hopes of seeing Trump unseated before his term is up? If not for the astonishing damage he&#x27;s doing to the western world, then only for the sheer fatigue from having every media outlet saturated by him on a daily basis.
