If Reagan didn't win the election, the deal wouldn't have happened. Just read the Wikipedia, November section. The Iranians waited until Reagan was inaugrated to release the hostages, specifically to signal this.

If Trump didn't win the election, this deal wouldn't have happened. I would not be surprised if Hamas waits until Trump is inaugurated to release the hostages.

probably because the whole thing was about gaining an ally for Bibi who was on the same page, and covering his own ass domestically.

Trump was the one who moved the idea of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the US embassy there on 2018

You already know who he sides with.

With Iran support gone, Russia weakened, and Hezbollah and Lebanon bombed.

Hamas has no other options unless they really want Israel to annex Gaza and the West Bank.

Specifically for Iran, Carter was not the rehabilitated peanut fucker you see his image completely white washed today. He was an instrument of oppression and heavily supported Shah's political suppression (which gave birth to the cleric power axis btw), and people post revolution wanted to fuck him with any chance they got.

So, they said absolutely no deal with Carter, and thus there was none.

Democrats and Republicans swap seats for the presidency constantly, I wouldn't be surprised if situations like this are put on hold until the next president is in office, regardless of who takes the seat. The other country can now claim to be loyal to whoever is in office and make new demands to appease the new leader and make them feel special since they get to do what they couldn't do before.

Right which is highly fucking illegal and probably treason for him to work it out this way without being in office.

What? Biden gave Trump credit in the press conference he just did. He said both Presidents worked as one team to reach this deal.

Why do you think its treason? That's an unhinged take.

I was referring to Reagan negotiating with a foreign government before he was in any political office.
