General Discussion

Probably to stop the beatings (bombings).

I'd say there are very few truly safe places in Iran right now. Probably severe shortages and skyrocketing prices. How much longer can you ignore these problems?

I wouldn't be surprised if Iran caves at some point. Yea, both sides are suffering in their own ways, but Iran is probably suffering way more. And while Iran's leadership may be able to negotiate some way out of this and save face, the people of Iran are going to be the ones who suffer the most. Only time will tell whom they blame more, their oppressive government or the US and Israel.

And to be clear, I consider this whole gong show to be completely Trump's fault.
