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.
