So the terms of the ceasefire, if they held beyond the end of hostilities, would be Trump giving Iran something like 25-Iran-Deals worth of cash *per year* in exchange for not limiting their nuclear program at all, apparently (they have not promised to give up the HEU).

My expectation for this war was 'everyone loses,' but to be honest, if those terms hold and Iran gets to pull in $40bn a year from the Strait to fund their proxies and build their nuclear program - if this is the deal - then honestly the Iranian regime simply...won.

Tbf the entire cost of this will be placed onto American taxpayers so I doubt he care about anything other than the optics.

Trump and his family are đź’Ż getting fat kickbacks from Oman on the tolls, I am convinced. billions per year of hard currency straight into their pockets. Do we seriously think Trump is just letting Oman pocket 40 billion a year out of this and not get his cut?

it was a stupid war with a stupid plan and it was lost five weeks ago: when Iran closed the strait and started striking back with drones and missiles, and it turned out nothing had been prepared against that.

unbelievable, and also completely in character from Hegseth's OKW.

What if they offer Trump a quarter of the tolls?

Even if Iran did pinky-swear to give up their HEU and not build a nuclear weapon, who would believe them? They have no reason not to, now, and no JCPOA to monitor them.

In the meantime, it looks like Netanyahu & Israel’s hard right got what they wanted out of this - occupation of territory in sth Lebanon (& West Bank).

I don't think the money will be split 50-50, considering Iran will be running the toll extraction infrastructure and Oman's small size. It's not clear if Oman will even accept their portion of the money anyways. If it is split, it might be 75-25 instead of 50-50.
