<\/p>\n

Trump seems willing to effectively give Iran everything they want – so what exactly was the point of this war?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Donald Trump\u2019s ceasefire agreement with Iran has served to highlight just how stupid and pointless his war was.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Overnight, Trump\u00a0announced\u00a0there will be a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran on the condition that Iran agrees to allow traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The US president said this came after discussions with the leadership of Pakistan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He wrote in a post on Truth Social: \u201cI agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Iran had sent the US and Israel a ten-point plan for ending the war, which Trump described as a \u201cworkable basis on which to negotiate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAlmost 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\"Article\"Logo<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Iranian state media has since reported on what the ten-point plan contains \u2013 and it\u2019s only served to highlight what a colossal waste of time the conflict has been.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Conditions include the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran, allowing Iran continued control over the Strait of Hormuz, and the release of frozen Iranian assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The plan also reportedly allows Iran and Oman to charge a fee of up to $2m a ship on vessels transiting through the strait, money that Iran will use for reconstruction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

So effectively, Trump has given Iran everything they wanted in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before the US and Israel decided to start bombing Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Reacting to the ceasefire, US Senator Chris Murphy slammed Trump for his \u201cstunning and heartbreaking\u201d incompetence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

His fellow Democrat colleague Jim McGovern also highlighted the futility of the last six weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

And this sentiment was echoed by many others, with descriptions of the deal ranging from a \u201chorrible result\u201d to \u201cthe biggest strategic defeat\u201d the US had suffered in decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, this is before we even consider the fuel and energy shortage that is looming on the horizon as the impact of the last six weeks reveals itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Let no one tell you this is a victory in negotiation from Trump \u2013 this will go down as one of the stupidest wars fought in modern history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
