Even if it's $3 million or more, I think it may still be a better deal for the world. Iran would be happy because it gets money. The world is happy because they get oil again.

Much cheaper than participating in another endless war.

Yes, this may mean an end to international orders and more countries will take opportunities to charge tolls. But the US-led world order is fading away anyway no matter what.

The least worst option.

Let's see first if this ends as an endless war - although you could make the argument that there has been a "war" between those two nations for about 47 years, which yes seems like an endless war :/

Personally I disagree with that conclusion.

That's the problem for US. You'll indeed disagree that this is a good outcome. Indeed there's just no good outcome left for you, and you can continue your endless war however you like.

The rest of the world has another option. No outcome is good, but it's at least better than being dragged into this pointless war.
