Once capped it's not easy to restart production, can't just flip a switch back on (google if you want all the petro engineering technical details).

Worse (for them), the longer they stay capped, the lower the ultimate production value becomes once restarted. So they are wasting more and more of their economic future every day the blockade continues.

That tends to imply that they should want a deal. Whether they comply with the terms of the deal is another story entirely (they probably will for the duration of Trump, especially since he can easily restart the blockade in mid Nov if needed).

Funny you say that because I thought the thread was mostly informative and worthwhile until vaksed and AAdvocate jumped in & started insisting anyone who dared criticize this action (or any action taken by the current administration TBF) must be a part of the extreme woke left, who in turn are responsible for anything that’s ever gone wrong in our country. In fact, those two in particular have a history of derailing threads here with their non stop rhetoric. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t quite agree with your premise.

They have historically been a patriotic nation who are used to being more poor than the poorest people in America. Who do you think will break first? The Iranian public? Or the American public?

Can’t wait to see “the deal.” And wonder how different it’s going to be than compared to Obama.

I can’t see any deal with them that is worth a damn. You don’t start something if you don’t have the will to finish it. You either chose a nuclear armed terror-state or annihilate their will to be so.

What exactly does “finish it” look like in a country the size of Alaska with 92 million people?
