Retired NFL quarterback and Super Bowl XXXIV champion Kurt Warner is looking for answers on social media regarding the 10-point proposal delivered by Iran to U.S. President Trump.
The proposal evidently contained enough substantive concessions to make Trump call off his much-condemned threat to end Iran’s “whole civilization” and instead announce that he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” because “almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran.”
Warner wrote: “I’m not politically or militarily intelligent – so looking for some ppl who follow me who are (not just random unintelligent comments), to tell me how any of this is even close to successful (if that’s even the right term) if in the end the following don’t happen:
“1) Regime Change – freeing the Iranian ppl from the lives of oppression they are living? 2) Elimination of all nuclear material & capabilities – freeing the world of that threat by regime? 3) Something changes with the Strait that wasn’t in place before? Please, just ppl who are well versed in these things so I can become more intelligent!”

Former New York City mayor and former personal attorney to President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, provided a long answer to Warner with many “remains to be seen” caveats.
Giuliani wrote: “Total system regime change is still hopefully in the cards, but this will take internal forces with massive external support,” and noted that the elimination of all nuclear material and capabilities “remains to be seen, but appears to be on the table.”
Giuliani, who received a pardon from Trump for his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election, also addressed Warner’s question about “what changes with the Strait that wasn’t in place before?” On this, Giuliani wrote that the future of the Strait of Hormuz “also remains to be seen, but President Trump seems dedicated to solving this issue.”
[NOTE: The Strait, open prior to the U.S. attacks, was essentially shut down by Iran afterwards. Reopening the Strait became a condition of Trump’s agreeing to stop bombing the country, though — as Warner’s question intimates — the reopening of the Strait would merely be a return to its prewar status.]
Giuliani added a personal note about Trump: “He’s been talking about it since the 1980s, before you were at Northern Iowa and before I was Mayor.”
[NOTE: Warner played college football at Northern Iowa from 1989 to 1993 before playing in the NFL. Giuliani became Mayor of New York City in 1994 and served two consecutive terms.]
1.) Regime Change—freeing the Iranian ppl from the lives of oppression they are living?
The Ayatollah was eliminated, as were top IRGC officials and domestic security leaders. Total system regime change is still hopefully in the cards, but this will take internal forces with…

Grant Stern, executive director of Occupy Democrats, also replied to Warner: “The Strait of Hormuz was successfully open throughout our lives until Donald Trump’s attack. Putting a toll booth on it could lead to a loss of freedom of the seas that would change our way of life forever. This is a HUGE loss for America and the world. We shed blood to free the oceans in WW2 and for decades after in the Cold War and beyond. Trump’s war on Iran is the biggest strategic disaster in American history by a landslide.”
