13. I don't trust the Iranian Mullahs

I don't think they will live up to any agreement. It is not in the religious fanatics to be honest about anything. I suspect that once the US Navy withdraws everything will go back to normal.

Trump took a big gamble with this war that didn't pay off. He gambled that the Iranian people would have risen up against the Mullahs. That didn't happen. The Mullahs killed the leadership of the opposition. They are still in power. Without regime change or the imminent threat of US military intervention nothing will really change.

The Mullahs will say anything to get the US off their backs. Once the US withdraws it is back to business as usual. That includes building nuclear weapons.

This was always a no win war for the US.
