The Iranians sent him a message saying they are "in a state of collapse" and ask for a pause in the blockade so they can get their leadership situation straightened out.
I have no doubt this is true; they are desperate to end the blockade. Soon their ability to produce oil wil be permanently damaged. They are running out of storage and if they shut the wells down will lose much of their output.
They have to achieve diplomatically what they can't win militarily; the U.S. has to take it's boot of their throats.
Which would be a huge mistake, of course. Now is the time to tighten it up, not the other way around.

You're having site issues! I left a comment here two days ago and it's disappeared! And an entry in our chat room also disappeared -- I retyped it pretty much verbatim.

As they say Dana you get what you pay for. I have a sweetheart deal here and really can't complain about how the site operates. Yes, sometimes there are bugs but all in all I'm very pleased with Mee.nu.
