Here are the ABCs of a reasonable Iran
cease-fire deal

Multiple U.S. military bases must be placed in Iran. True Democratic elections with a new constitution. Such past regimes leaders must not be allowed in power. A totally new government structure must be put in place. Limited to no military. US will supply protection like past WWII Japan. Bomb anybody that blocks the straits at anytime. Eliminate any threat to shipping at anytime.

You can get all sorts of agreements on paper. They will be worth exactly the same as Chamberlain’s “Peace in our time” scrap. One change of government in DC and the will to enforce will evaporate. What is needed is a Constitutional Monarchy under a new Shah and a popularly elected government in power.

Separation of Church and State should be part of the deal. No more Mullah's shoving Islam death on the people who live there.

Nuclear weapons materials and research surrendered and REMOVED. Identify researchers and detain them for a significant time, out of country. Those who may have been coerced could be expatriated but required to stay out of Iran for a significant number of years. Returning equals capture and significant imprisonment. If we have an idea of where most missiles/drone are, we should NOT stop until they are all gone. We should require that any caches discovered post ceasefire be IMMEDIATELY destroyed, by Iran or by us. Any missile or drone attacks justify ANY retaliation deemed necessary. Surrender of all remaining leadership associated with terrorism activities, to be detained and tried in an international court; not to be released until acquitted. Cessation of any attacks on opposition political groups. Any IRGC attacks on these groups justifies action against that IRGC group, including elimination. Lockdown on ALL Iranian oil shipments, via ship or pipeline. Attacks on non Iranian oil will be compensated by seizure of a similar amount of Iranian oil. Iran, or its agents (Houthis) attack a tanker full of oil, Iran forfeits a tanker full of oil. Escalated attacks from Iran forfeits the Iranian ship or pipeline, including by destruction. Plus, any other military retaliation deemed necessary (bombing Houthis, ...) to stop current and prevent future attacks. Key to all this is RAPID response to any Iranian aggression. No dithering. Aggression = Effective US military response. Period.

The unstated goal is regime change, which if not done would leave the old problem in place and put egg on Trump's face in the view of the Iranian people.

I would like to add to the ABCs: "Failure to consent to unconditional surrender or non-compliance with any terms and conditions of said agreement will result in future Epic Fury operations as needed."

History shows that most times so-called “cease fires” don’t work and that the ultimate solution is an unconditional surrender. For examples the cease fire that stopped the World War I fighting gave Germany the room to rearm and start World War II twenty-one years later, while the unconditional surrenders forced on Germany and Japan that stopped the World War II fighting turned those former enemy countries into USA allies. Iran has been run by mad Mullahs, who are entrenched in Islamic ideology, for over forty-seven years. Clearly those Mullahs are not going to legitimately stop fighting against Israel and the USA until they are dead. In fact the Islamic law that they follow calls upon Christians and Jews to either convert to Islam or face death. Any cease fire with those Mullahs and their followers will no doubt just give them time to rearm, just wait the three years until Trump passes into history and then again start operating aggressively again towards Israel, the USA and any other Middle East State that opposes what the Mullahs are doing.
