Iran Rejects Trump's Desperate Surrender Efforts To Further Humiliate Him
Donald Trump keeps trying to surrender in the war that he started with Iran, but the Iranians refuse to end the war and want to humiliate Trump.
For months, the news cycle has been trapped in an endless loop. Donald Trump started a war with Iran. Trump declares victory. Iran retaliates. Trump claims peace talks are coming. Trump claims Iran wants to surrender. Peace talks don’t happen. Iran doesn’t surrender.

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the war over. Iran didn’t get the memo.
Trump is reportedly “bored” with the Iran war and wants to move on. There is just one big detail standing in his way.
When one country starts a war with another, the war doesn’t end until one country surrenders or the sides negotiate a peace treaty.
Trump’s problem is that he started a war that Iran is in no hurry to end, because the extremists in Iran have strengthened their hold on power in the country, the Strait of Hormuz, and the region.
In other words, Iran is winning.
Trump is losing, and he wants out, but Iran isn’t letting him go.
At least for now, the man who wrote The Art of the Deal can’t even get Iran to the negotiating table. Today, Washington is still waiting for Iran to respond to the latest offering, a one-page memorandum of understanding that is far more of an extension of the cease-fire than a treaty to end the conflict.
The administration keeps telling the American people that any day now, Iran will respond to their proposal and the war will end.
Iran is willing to drag this out because it was reported that Iran wants to humiliate Trump.
