The #USA already has within its legal system everything it needs to end the war and reopen the #StraitOfHormuz. Here's how:
- Return to the House, vacate the Speakership, and elect a new Speaker who'd be willing to do what's necessary (perhaps #ThomasMassie, who's one of the only Republicans apparently not controlled by the Epstein class).
- Impeach, convict, and remove every #SCOTUS judge who committed perjury in their confirmation hearing or who's ever taken a bribe.
- Impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump and his criminal cabinet (including the criminal AG: replace her with #JackSmith).
- Arrest, charge, and convict #DonaldTrump, #PeteHegseth, and other perpetrators under 18 USC §241, §242, §1111, and other applicable offences, and seek the maximum penalty for every offence. (For military officer perpetrators, analogous #UCMJ charges may be necessary.)
- Commit to carrying out applicable sentences for all convictions.
If a new slate of #US diplomats can promise #Iran the results of step 5, for enough of the perpetrators, they could restore the peace and the flow of fertilizer.
One more step may also be necessary: Seize all profits of every entity—corporate or individual—who profited from those crimes, forfeit as proceeds of crime, to deter future corporate complicity. Disperse those funds to victims' families as reparations.
In the end, considering how the Iranian government seems to think, a comparable number of American perpetrators—starting with those with the most power, thus the most responsibility—may need receive the due sentence for the (at least) 260 counts of murder of children to date.
That would be more than fair: What's a small bunch of Nazi politicians and oligarchs in exchange for food for hundreds of millions of innocent American citizens, such as all those patriots opposing the war?

in reply to David • • •I think you overestimate the chances of success for your armchair quarterback strategy there.
The Iranian government might not be so eager to cooperate in your plan.
