President Trump has done the impossible again. Everyone said peace with Iran couldn't happen, but now we are seeing history being written again. Future generations will refer to this era as the Art of the Deal. Not only does this deal prevent Iran from obtaining nukes, it also forces them to open up to business interests, no more isolationism. The US stands to make so much money from this deal, its absurd! For the first time in the 21st century, the straight of Hormuz is fully open for business. And as if that wasn't enough, President Trump also worked in a permanent peace deal with Lebanon. If he isn't given the nobel peace prize, then it is blatently clear that all of Norway has TDS. Now you can tell your friends and family who have doubted "I told you so". No forever war, no boots on the ground, and total peace.
Nothing about getting rid of the IRGC or scaling back its operations within the middle east. I'd have figured that President Trump would have weakened the IRGC within the parameters of this MOU, yet nothing about offensive war on other states within the midEast was mentioned. How odd.
Plus, I thought President Trump was going to release the MOU this Friday. Odd how Reuters found a copy of it. Could this be all smoke and mirrors developed by the DS so that Americans would not be interested in what Trump has to say Friday? IDK, but i feel this smells a bit off.
These 14 points came from “a senior US official who had a phone call with reporters Wednesday morning” according to the sources reporting the “deal.”
I’m hoping it’s hogwash; I do not want to pay $300 billion to a country that already got pallets of cash from Kerry and Obama.
Key comment that it’s from an official - Persians in America will be very disappointed if there’s $300 billion to support the Islamic Iran.
I am too, but I trust that Trump is playing a long game. This deal puts the regime in a very awkward spot. There will be hardliners who want to keep launching rockets and supporting terror. But if that happens, the deal collapses, and dealmakers Trump dealt with know they got their ass whipped and that we can easily do it again. They’d rather make money than fight.
Plus, any opening of the country will empower the local resistance to the regime. They’ll have internet again. Thousands of local eyes will be watching for compliance, not to mention US and Israeli surveillance. Conditions will not be good for the IRGC. They’ll be vulnerable to a coup. They might not last out the year.
thanks, your thoughts sound right, fitting in with how Pres. Trump & team work & see the big picture!
Persian frens should be happy & free in the long run
“From an (anonymous) official” is the equivalent of “My dad works at Nintendo and he said” to me at this point.
Every mockingbird is trying not to sing its last song. They need people to be against Trump/anyone attempting to rid this country of undue influence before the midterms.
great reminder!
AFAIK that $300 billion is not coming from the US government. It’s more of a promise of an amount of investment from a number of countries.
Right. This is probably going to come from the gulf states. They have been putting off this problem and leaning on American protection for too long. No more free rides, it's time for them to pay up.
I thought VP Vance already debunked the $300 billion.
I saw a video clip, if you trust those anymore, of VP saying money is contingent on radical and monitored change of behavior towards their citizens and other countries.
If they don’t play ball, so to speak, not only do they not get paid but they get decimated.
In Vance’s own words, it’s a win either way.
So I have been informed.
He said no US $ I assume funds are coming from other rich Arab Nations.
An entire generation of IRGC leadership has been wiped out. They are not the same as they were three months ago. I think President Trump is implicetly giving them a choice. They can either do better than their predecessors, or meet the same fate.
The new leader is the son of the last leader who we killed. Do you really think he's going to have better feelings towards us?
What are we doing here? What happened to regime change?
The current regime may bear the same name, but since almost everyone has been replaced, it basically is regime change. And yes, if the son is smart, he will recognize where his father was wrong and work to make amends.
What are they going to say "oh no, please don't give me 300 billion dollars"
This deal sucks
Point #2 respect of sovereign rights of each country. Only countries mentioned are USA and Iran. Nothing about other ME countries respecting sovereign rights of Iran.
Unpredictability is a tool used to great effect by the CiC. It's a given, imo, and probably everyone else's involved in the "negotiations," that the IRGC will never capitulate, and that they actually will need to do this the hard way. They don't care. They have a single-minded purpose rooted deeply in mental illness, demonic possession and whatever other non-human influence is at play.
With that understanding, Trump and the White Hats are in the process of a systemic decapitation of that evil. They know intimately well that such enemies are never to be trusted, but optics matter, and the people of the world need to see the whole thing as clearly needed for the greater good and practicality.
The only ones who think terrorists ought to be allowed to live like the rest of us, but fully weaponized...they are simply wanting to retain their goon squad.
