We now have the list of Iran's "demands" that made Trump lose his sh*t and stamp his tiny bone spurred feet in rage.

[Miles Archer]

The list submitted by Tehran includes demands for compensation for war damage sustained during the now 10-week conflict, as well as recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route.

Iran is also demanding that the U.S. end its naval blockade of Iranian ports, lift sanctions against the country, guarantee no further attacks—including in Lebanon—and end the U.S. ban on Iranian oil sales, state media reported, via Reuters and The New York Times.

Trump appeared to fiercely reject the proposal in a Truth Social post shared during a frantic Mother’s Day posting spree on Sunday.

Trump is highly unlikely to agree to pay Iran reparations linked to the war, nor support Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz—the largely closed-off passageway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil supply normally passes.

1. "Trump is highly unlikely to agree to pay Iran reparations "

maybe so, but we owe iran, at least 159 ships (unless, of course, iran never had that many sunk ships..)

but the timing will be such that a dem has to actually write the check and take the blame.

31. All they have to do is give Trump 10% of the reparations. Done deal.

And we have a flash sale on pardons this week. If you act now, you can get the special 50% off price of $500,000 if paid in untraceable crypto.

2. It's going to be a very bumpy ride. The odds of the full depression are

Rising by the hour.

[malaise]

3. Illegal wars have conseequences

That is all

[PJMcK]

8. Don't all wars have consequences? (n/t)

[malaise]

9. Yes but the aggressors are punished more

[Johonny]

4. When you signal you want to surrender

They aren't going to give you good terms...

[Miles Archer]

5. It's that Dave Chappelle line, "I'm RICK JAMES, b*tch"...

Trump has successfully cowed / spayed / neutered Congressional Republicans, and he thinks he can replicate that same fear and fealty with Iran.

He can't.

They know exactly WHO and WHAT he is, and they don't care.

[Alliepoo]

14. Ok- I had to go back and sign in

Just to rec this reply!
😂😂😂. Omg!
Cowed/spayed/neutered Congress! That is perfection!!! I may have to borrow that if it’s OK with you.

[Miles Archer]

18. Sure, go for it. n/t

[OLDMDDEM]

16. You are spot on.

[Volaris]

17. If I were Iran, I would have put an alternate proposition at the end:

OR, we can go back to the Obama Deal we had, and leave the straight completely open to all traffic, OH AND we will sail all of our uranium to wherever the fuck America wants...the day AFTER Trump is no longer president.

[CanonRay]

6. Gee, it's almost like Iran is winning

as they increase demands

[dem4decades]

7. Trump said he holds all the cards, he should just play his Trump card.

Wait, I think he already did, and it was a loser.

[dweller]

10. Losing Hand

✌🏻

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[Ray Bruns]

12. The hands in trump are still too big.

[Botany]

13. The # 2 man in Iran said, "the losing side doesn't get to dictate the terms to the winners."

This is 100% on Donny Trump and his need to divert attention from EPSTEIN.

[NJCher]

20. Iran is hanging out at the

[Amaryllis]

21. He still doesn't get that he is losing, being surrounded by sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear.

[EX500rider]

26. So the US having destroyed the majority of air defenses & having free reign to bomb anywhere in Iran is them "winning"?

Iran attacking their neighbors and unarmed neutral ships is hardly "winning" against the US.
Does turn a lot of countries against them though, good job!

If Trump goes back in and bombs all their power plants & bridges as he has threatened are they still "winning"?

"Stop or we will bleed on your more!!"

[druidity33]

33. Yes. To them they are still winning...

and i think Americans find that inconceivable because they don't understand Shi'ite society. Your last line needs editing:

"Stop or we will bleed on your more!!"

I've been reading Juan Cole over at Informed Comment for years. He has been instructive for helping me understand the attitudes there. He wrote up something at the beginning of the conflict predicting it would all go horribly wrong and why but i'm having trouble finding it. I'll keep looking. Here is a recent article from the Middle East Monitor via Informed Comment:

https://www.juancole.com/2026/05/israeli-iranian-collapse.html

Also, my understanding is that our own illustrious CIA has determined Iran still has 70% of its stockpile of missiles and launchers... so there's that.

[Blue Full Moon]

15. Not unreasonable demands.

American troops dying and wasting American resources is nothing to Trump.

[EX500rider]

28. How is handing over a 30 mile wide straight with the center in international waters and 1/2 in Oman water "reasonable"

Very bad precedent, next China, N Korea etc will all be trying to take over international waterways

[Melon]

30. So Iran gets to claim an international shipping lane outside their territorial waters?

Nowhere is this allowed. Iran has held the lane hostage with their threats for decades. That is not Iranian water.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. I wonder - is there ANY disaster that TrumpenFuhrer can create that the Deplorable base wont support or believe is the

fault of Dems??

[Irish_Dem]

29. The worse Trump gets, the more the MAGAs love him.

Nope, nothing will change their minds.
If raping children does not bother them, nothing will.

[surfered]

22. Demanding our absolute surrender. I wonder what our stable genius, master negotiator will do now.

Is that Obama agreement looking any better to him now?

[thesquanderer]

23. Trump is going to declare victory and walk away with nothing. (n/t)

[themaguffin]

25. really, worse than nothing as things will be worse than prior him starting this shit show

[llmart]

24. Can't say I disagree with what they're demanding.

They are holding all the cards, so they can define the terms. Suck it, Trump!

[whopis01]

32. Sovereign control of the strait is ridiculous

It is a waterway that passes between two countries. Why should one have complete control over it?

[Irish_Dem]

27. Trump will make the US taxpayer pay reparations, and make sure to pocket most of it.
