Big mistake.
Iran will paint this as a victory. As I wrote about before, this will make it harder to get to an agreement.

In theory I agree. Executive power should be limited. Decisions should go through Congress.
Here is where the logic fails: when you have a big, socialist state and you are trying to change it. The bureaucratic state starts protecting itself. In a lawful manner and an unlawful manner. I'm such a case, playing by the rules results in a failed administration.
Once you go #socialism the law only implies to prevent you from gaining #freedom
Fear mongering.
The Lefties fear that they will loose control over the energy market. The need for cheap energy is so great that countries might loosen regulations. This is their way of stopping this.
From #Trump POV, a deal is preferable to war.
Many of (what is left of) the #Iran leadership want a deal.
What Trump doesn't understand is that he destroyed the Iranians ability to come to a deal when he forced #Israel into a cease fire. Trump thought this is a gesture of good will. The Iranians saw this as a sign of defeat.
By convincing the Iranians that they won, that they can dictate terms, he made it impossible for them to compromise. Why should they give up on anything if they are dictating the terms?
The cease fire in Lebanon didn't help to create a deal. It shattered any hope for a deal. The only way to get to a deal now is to completely humiliate Iran. To shatter everything they have so that they can't deny defeat. Then they will make a deal.
Personaly I think this is the better path.

Let me get this straight.
Trump moved the USA in the right direction, making psychedelics therapy mite available. But the libertarians for some reason are not happy. It's all it nothing for them.
This is why libertarians are loosing.
Anyone who doesn't understand why #Trump is focusing on Iran doesn't understand geopolitics.
It has nothing to do with #Israel and everything to do with #China
Anyone who doesn't understand geopolitics has no place in the white house. Or the Senate.
The cease fire in #lebanon is not only a disgrace. It is a total abandonment of any will to win.
#Trump and #Bibi handled the #IRGC a victory and sacrificed #Israel long term security. From Israel's POV, nothing fundamentaly changeed. Hamas controls #Gaza, #Hezbollah controls Lebanon and the IRGC controls Iran and are trying to make a nuclear bomb.
The only thing that changed is that now the IRGC knows it can effectively use the straight of Hormuz to control #Europe
