Iran has unveiled the list of demands to end the war that it sent to President Donald Trump, which sparked one of his all-caps Truth Social outbursts.

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.

Just think, all this could have been avoided if the Epstein files had been released.

Ah, you just missed it. Wait, here it comes again don't blink

It’s right now, but that isn’t important right now

oh, the X-Files? Here's everything we have on UFOs

[–] Shindo66@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It wouldn't have been. Im not saying its not a thing, but this is all about keeping the US as the petrol hegemony. Its a nice side effect though.

All that in attempt to distract from the TRUMPSTEIN FILES that the Pedo-in-Chief is desperately trying to get us to stop talking about.

So weird because WHERE ARE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES??? PROVE YOU ARENT A PEDO!

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Remember the files are videos of the horrible shit they’ve done. That they recorded. So they could share with other sickos.

It is basically the same points that was suggested since the beginning.

Anyone have a link to the rage post?

[–] orlyowl@piefed.ca 7 points 1 month ago

The depressing thing is that it's totally reasonable to instead ask WHICH rage post.

Don't read it. Everything you hear him say destroys a tiny bit of your soul, and makes you stupider for having processed it, and the damage accumulates.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Anybody have a source that lists the full list of demands? Haven't been able to turn it up yet.

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 month ago

I'm just so tired of this psychotic toddler having such an enormous influence on our lives. It's like an episode of Twilight Zone.

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Sounds reasonable to me.

The answer has to be a hard no, and possibly a total war of annihilation. Monroe put the doctrine in place, and the USA still lives by it.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Absolutely.

Sign me up for another perma-war, because the last two went so swimmingly.

I'm afraid it was before then.
