The endgame is taking shape and the terms are jaw-dropping.
Per the latest reports, Tehran's price for reopening the strait includes an end to the naval blockade, sanctions relief on its oil and gas, and explicit American acknowledgment of its right to collect maritime fees, while Reuters reports the Pentagon's long-range ATACMS and PrSM stocks are virtually gone.
Joe Kent, retired Green Beret and former Trump administration official, delivers the most honest assessment you'll hear from inside the movement.
Why Iran's disciplined escalation destroyed a decades-old narrative about who America is really dealing with.
Why the pattern of every American war since Vietnam has him deeply worried about what comes next.
And the case that walking away now isn't defeat: "I think he'll be a national hero."
Joe means it, and his answer about what he'd do if that happens reveals everything about where his loyalty truly lies.
A deal within days or a doubling down that drains what's left.
The fork in the road is here, and Joe has stood at it before.
