The first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time. The other 10% of the project takes the other 90% of the time. (Referring to projects that never come in on schedule.)

he isn't very reliable.

Name me one issue out of that 95% that has been agreed to.

This nonsense about a peace deal being imminent is just a ruse to get the price of crude down and the market up, nothing has been agreed to.

Remember this; civilians are negotiating for Iran, anything they propose must be approved by the Supreme leader who is in hiding and just communicating with him is extremely difficult because of super strict security.

This is the pathetic story his administration is making to gaslight their idiot base while slowly walking away from it.

Iran knows this and is just going to do whatever it wants.

tariffs on Persian carpets, that kind of thing. They have sorted out the Iranian football team's World Cup base too. Just dotting the "i"s of the Strait of Hormuz access, and crossing the "t"s of nuclear material, left ...

and walk away.

Iran knows it and will just do whatever they want to do.

These morons can bully and bullshit their way through US (not you and I, us), but can't bullshit and bully their way through middle east folks.
