Will this be real? Does Trump even want an actual deal? I think he wants this all to continue until the last minute to be beneficial to the market, gas prices, etc.

Maybe. I think Trump wants the appearance of a deal more than a clean, boring diplomatic agreement. That does not mean there is no deal to be had, but the incentives are ugly.

Markets like drama as long as they believe somebody has a hand on the wheel. Oil likes uncertainty. Cable news likes the countdown clock. Politicians like looking tough right up until the bill comes due.

The test is pretty simple: does the administration define what Iran actually has to do, what the U.S. gives up in return, and what happens if both sides comply? If the answer stays vague, then it is probably theater with missiles parked behind the curtain.

I actually agree with at least most of that. I think he wants a regime change, but only to weaken the IRGC enough for the people to deal a final blow.

He needs to just finish this real soon before those midterms. Can't let the democ...I mean communists, win the house.
