You responded to a post about liquid-fueled Russian missiles. I was pointing out the Russian missiles are intended for a first strike. I see no reason you brought up the Agni, I was simply showing it's not an example of the problem I was pointing out.
Yet another war, this time with Iran

Islam has no problem with polygamy. Even Hinduism had no problem with polygamy. It was only that one of Nehru's brother-in-laws wanted to marry again. To stop him, Nehru brought Hindu Code Bill which made polygamy a crime. In some areas of India, polyandry is socially acceptable.
Note: The video has many repeats, so once you have seen a part, you may close it.

U.S. and Iran Reach Framework for Peace

Not much detail. But it sounds to me that if this holds things will be more or less back to where things started before Trump launched this war.
Iran has a more radical leadership, several thousand civilians of Iran are dead, they have fewer missiles. The US has lost about a dozen service-members and billion and billions of dollars in equipment including vastly depleting the inventory of advanced missiles.
Both sides are saying they won.
Iran knows that they can close the strait any time they want. No further need for the bomb.

Iran has always known this. It is the source of their power.

Which the moron in the white house discounted.
The question is, will this whole war be for nothing except to embolden Iran to close the Strait again?

Supposedly on Friday they sign this memo.
I predict stocks will rise a bit tomorrow and then sit around until friday when markets close and then go down monday when Trump says it's really close.

I don't get what they're supposed to be negotiating about. Trump said that if Iran murders more of it's own citizens Trump will attack.
Ok, Trump did that.
He can just stop. He's already made his point. Trump can stop shooting rockets and drones without looking like a failure. Iran now knows that they can't just murder their own people with zero repurcussions.
Have I missed something?

Trump did this to end the Theocracy. That didn't happen, so the US is changing direction to do something something about the enriched uranium. Those sorts of agreements take years.
This agreement is at best a temporary ceasefire being reported as something it isn't. It almost certainly has no teeth.

Yes, you did. The agitation in Iran was supported by US and its allies in NATO.
Iran will treat any threat to Khilafat or system in just the same way, Trump or no Trump.
Why does not Trump do that in Pakistan? They have been killing Baloch and Kashmiris civilians.

What does the "agreement" say, "Iran and the USA promise not to needlessly destroy the global economy for the next 60 days" and it is written in crayon on the back of Denny's kids menu?
"Expectation"... as in that isn't even remotely resolved yet? That this agreement is just to reopen-ish the Strait of Hormuz?article said:

I don't think the excursion is over. Even if the US and Iran are acting in good faith, which is dubious, Netanyahu and Hezbollah cannot be counted on to hold steady. Further conflict there will break a ceasefire and escalate.

Didn't the righty's freak out about Obama giving Iran 400 million of their own money back to them? Now we're giving them 300 billion of our money???
Winning?

I thought the $300 billion was a misprint typo. We couldn't have possibly destroyed that much public infrastructure.
He says "funded by the Gulf Coast coalition". So Iran is going to rebuild... and Saudi Arabia is going to pay for it? I would have thought that some of Iran's oil revenue would be pumped into that fund. But VP Vance says the Arab states that don't like Iran will pay for it. $300 billion of it. Is the Gulf Coast Coalition aware of this?
ETA: The one thing that occurred to me is that maybe the Gulf Coast is "buying" Iran's nuclear weapon program.
