"Within two weeks..."

Sounds good, but he is just waiting for our naval assets to arrive. No way Iran will surrender. Trump knows that we will have to bomb the underground nuclear facilities with our bunker busters, something which Israel can't do.

Within two weeks implies that it could be one day to fourteen days. There is nothing hard and fast. We're waiting for our aircraft carrier to arrive. I don't think it is there yet. We also evacuated American civilians out of the area, and we don't know how that went. Maybe there's more people to get out.

1. If Iran were to surrender, to whom would they surrender? What would that be like? Who would take over?

2. They could stop firing missiles and drones?

A surrender would most certainly mean boots on the ground, either American or Israeli, maybe both. Dropping of leaflets instructing people to stand down?

I dunno. He thinks we will have forgotten the troops in our streets, and the illegally abducted peaceful people he disappeared. He has somehow won the right to suppress dissent using our own troops. We aren't giving up. Never let your enemy rest.
