And not to negotiate with the US in good faith.
The US demands were clear - no nuclear capability whatsoever, not really a hard demand to meet if you're coming "in good faith".
Iran decided to play stupid games and found out.
Not sure Iran was doing that, but for sure Maduro wasn’t.
Not sure it affects the outcome.
I don't understand Iran, Hezbollah's and the Houthis' patience with the US actually. It's absolutely shocking. After the US betrayed ALL of it's own fucking allies, in what world does it make sense to negotiate with them?
The Houthis are still "threatening" to do things today after already being decimated and Hezbollah's strength more than halved.
I don't support any of these creeps but if any of them were minimally rational, they would have all gone to total war with Israel and the US the minute they realized what Hamas was doing on October 7th. They look even more naive than Europeans at this point.
