The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”

The next sentence was also illumnating: "Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran."

And the 10 point plan:

1- The US should commit, in principle, to guarantee non-aggression

2- Iran’s continued control of the Strait of Hormuz

3- Iran’s uranium enrichment right should be accepted

4- Lifting of all primary sanctions

5- Lifting of all secondary sanctions

6- Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions

7- Termination of all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions

8- Payment of compensation for damages inflicted on Iran

9- Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region

10- Cessation of the war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic resistance in Lebanon

___________

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.
