Trump needs to make the deal that needs to be made.

JCPOA (Obama deal)
No tolls in Hormuz
Iran publicly backs off of Israel (no-active operations, no belligerent language from executive leadership. You can’t control legislators)
Sanctions dropped

This deal is possible if Trump is willing to look after Americas best interests. He keeps talking about 47 years of hostilities. He needs to be brave enough to change it all without fighting. Go back to peacemaking.

This deal is good for the US because it removes someone from the enemies list and opens Iran up for investment.
