The current Iran deal is an extension of the ceasefire, not a peace deal. The original ceasefire was supposed to have Hormuz open. We don’t know the outcome of the war because the war is not yet over. We don’t know how the negotiations during this extended ceasefire will go. Neither Trump nor Iran want to give in on key issues.

Iranian hardline protesters are chanting that their leaders are weak and pathetic if they agree to Trump’s deal, even though Trump’s deal sucks for the United States and achieved nothing that couldn’t be achieved diplomatically.
The chanters are asking what about the blood of their former leader who Israel and the United States assassinated. They are demanding no deals but victory against the countries who assassinated their leader.

Iran, being weaker than the US, responds more violently and aggressively to deter the US and Israel, who both may be deterred while taking much less damage.

The Iran conflict, in its low-grade double blockade form, feels like an endless cycle.
Iran has been attacked by a superpower and is technically more able to develop nuclear material than they were a decade ago…they likely want a nuke for defensive purposes more than ever.

Pharaoh Akhenaten demoted all the gods of Egypt and commanded that only one god is worthy of worship–the disc of the sun. And, only Akhenaten could speak for that one worthy god. This could be seen as a precursor of monotheism. It wasn’t yet monotheism though, because Akhenaten didn’t deny the existence of other gods, just their worthiness of worship.
