On this, I dont know if this is any hope.

"....The question is whether the US military leadership, the only "adults in the room", will allow Trump to roll the dice at the risk of US military personnel and assets, the state of Israel and the world economy upon a Trumpian whim......"

The first then Trump sent Hegseth to to was to purge the top leadership of the military to remove anyone who was plausiblely a sensible professional military leader and not a blind "yes, sir" man:

So if you are looking for adults, well they have been kicked out of the room. The room has a demented old Trump, a juveline Hegseth, and and incomprehensible cipher in Gabbard as head of National Intelligence.

There'ss great quote from a very good piece on this issue:

Trump’s nationalist conservative white Christian agenda

March 03, 2025 by Deborah Veneziale

"......Another dangerous sign is that Trump did something unusual last week and fired the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and replaced him with right-wing Lt. General Dan Caine, whom he met in Iraq and then again at CPAC (a right-wing political conference) in 2019. This was designed, of course, to remove any military restraints on the White House, which now has its own man. He is considered an unusual pick as he has not held lower positions before being selected for this position. At CPAC, Trump recalled the general saying, “‘I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.’”30

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated he will fire the judge advocates general’s service, or JAGs. They are military lawyers who administer the military code of justice for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.31 It is, ipso facto, an ominous sign....."

The thing is Iran wont really survive in the long run by reducing their stocks of enriched plutonium. I mean Israel actually HAS nuclear weapons, they attack their neighbours like eveyr week, they have committed genocide for years on end....and the zionist-controlled "west" has no problems with Israel having nuclear weapons. Iran made a deal with the Obama government (which cut the zionists and their tool Hillary Clinton out of the loop), and the first thing the next US government (zionist controlled Trump I admin) did was to renege on the deal - because they NEED to have tension as a PR excuse for what they want to do, which is to attack Iran and splinter it - like Libya, Syria, etc.

So that's just an excuse. No deal will ever save Iran from attack by the zionists. Only defensive capability can save them.

You could even look at Syriia where Assad's father at one point actually bombed shias in Lebanon in cahoots with the US - was still discarded. Iraq where Saddam killed like a million Iranians for the US - didnt save his skin. Gaddafi let the westerners in to his country's oil business and gave up the hunt for nuclear weapons, "donated" to their politicians and sent his son to study at LSE - didnt save his skin.

They zionist controlled "west", hate the muslims, well because they hate muslims and further, because they want their lands and resources. They are a hateful, greedy and murderous gang. This is the reality.
