Color me skeptical [View all]

Sorry but all this good news about the end of the war and a peace deal being reached I just don’t buy it. It just happened to be on Trump’s birthday that 2 sides that were an ocean apart just suddenly agreed to this deal. Not to mention Israel has their own agenda that I don’t see slowing down just on behalf of Trump. A deal that Iran wanted paid, control of Hormuz and the US to leave the Middle East is now agreed to? There’s no way the US agreed to this and no way Iran is good with our terms so sorry if I do t see this as anything more than something good to make grandpa feel better on his birthday.
