According to WSJ March 20, they're not going to like what they see.

Demands voiced by Iranian leaders in recent days as conditions for ending the war include 

• massive reparations from the U.S. and its allies 
• the expulsion of American military forces from the region
• transforming the Strait of Hormuz into an Iranian toll booth controlling one-third of the world’s shipborne crude oil.

“Iran will turn its position from a sanctioned country to [a sanctioning country] ...We will sanction those domination-seeking arrogant powers.”

-Expediency Council member Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to the supreme leader on economic affairs, to the country’s Mehr news agency.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender ["until they surrender"; "has surrendered" in first sentence.] or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
