President Trump, earlier today at G7:
“Without me there would be no Israel”
He should remember that it is God who put him in that position.

Bloomberg has just released the full text of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran.
It is far worse than most people imagined.
In fact, it is even worse than the Obama deal.
It makes you wonder whether someone who wrote The Art of the Deal ever bothered to read it.
According to the memorandum published by Bloomberg, Iran gave only two things:
▪️ It agreed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.
▪️ It issued a declaration - yes, only a declaration - that it will never produce nuclear weapons.
The United States, meanwhile, gave away everything else:
▪️ A commitment to remove all sanctions on Iran.
▪️ The lifting of the blockade.
▪️ The establishment of a $300 billion rehabilitation fund for Iran.
▪️ An end to the war in Lebanon, including commitments made on Israel’s behalf.
▪️ Immediate exemptions for Iranian oil exports.
▪️ The release of frozen funds.
▪️ Approval through the UN Security Council.
We all know the value of Iran’s declarations regarding nuclear weapons. In fact, the regime has been making the same public claim for years, so there is nothing new here.
In other words, Iran’s only tangible concession was reopening the Strait of Hormuz - effectively proving that its newest strategic weapon works remarkably well.
Reading this memorandum, one gets the impression that Iran drafted the agreement and simply handed it to the Americans for signature.
The United States surrendered completely.

NBC network reveals from a senior American official:
Since the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Iran and the U.S. was digitally signed on Sunday, Iran has launched several drones every night towards merchant ships.
The drones were launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), but American forces intercepted them.

The official text of the MoU:
According to the confirmed agreement, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree on the following:
Immediate and permanent ceasefire in all theaters, including Lebanon, with commitment to no further military action or threats.
Mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.
Negotiation of a final agreement within 60 days (extendable by mutual consent).
Gradual lifting of the U.S. naval blockade within 30 days and withdrawal of forces from Iran’s vicinity after the final agreement.
Restoration and protection of commercial shipping routes in the Persian Gulf–Gulf of Oman area, with clearance of obstacles and mines.
Iran to consult Oman and regional states on future governance and maritime arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz.
A joint economic reconstruction plan for Iran (at least $300B) to be developed.
Full removal of all sanctions (UN, IAEA-related, U.S. primary and secondary) under an agreed timeline.
Iran reaffirms it will not develop nuclear weapons; enriched material and enrichment issues to be handled under IAEA supervision.
Status quo maintained until final agreement: no new sanctions or military escalation.
U.S. to issue licenses allowing Iranian oil exports and related financial services.
Unfreezing and full access to Iranian assets, under jointly agreed procedures.
Creation of a mechanism to monitor implementation.
Final agreement to be negotiated within the framework of the ceasefire steps and later approved by the UN Security Council.

I read the agreement. This is a total liquidation sale of President Trump. In my opinion, there has never been such a huge gap in history between a brilliant military victory and such a humiliating political defeat.

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."
April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."
June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."

Washington just handed Iran the keys, the title deed, and the cash from the safe before the Iran’s check has even cleared. That is the deal Trump signed, and I’d read it by its order of implementation not by its headline.
The sequence is the entire story.
Paragraph 13 is the key that unlocks the rest. It says paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11, get carried out first, and only afterward do the two sides negotiate "exclusively on the other paragraphs." Meaning: Iran gets the follwoing, right away, on signature, and with no taking it back: the ceasefire, the end of the naval blockade, free passage restored through Hormuz, Treasury permission to export its crude oil, and the release of its frozen funds.
On the other hand, everything Washington wanted, mainly the mechanism for handling Iran's nuclear materia, gets pushed into a later "final deal," set on a 60-day clock that the text says can be "extended by mutual consent."
Iran collects everything real on day one. America collects a promise to settle the hard parts later.
On top of that, Iran agrees to water down its enriched material, and to do it at home, in its own facilities, where watering down can be undone whenever it likes.
The whiskey gets diluted and the bottle stays in Iran's own cabinet. Cheers!
Enrichment itself survives as a right to be discussed another day rather than a forbidden activity. The program freezes at the high-water mark it reached during the war, and that freeze gets sold as the sacrifice.
To spice things up, Trump decided Iran keeps the gatekeeper's badge over Hormuz and surrenders only the act of slamming the gate shut. As per article 5 Iran will conduct dialogue "with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait."
On Lebanon, the MOU calls the war permanently over, but the real lock sits in a future deal both sides can postpone forever, and the two who actually fought, Israel and Hezbollah, never signed. Their guns went quiet because Washington and Tehran said so, and that calm lasts only as long as the bosses want it. The deal stops Hezbollah's war, even erases its reason to fight, and leaves its weapons untouched.
Iran prefers it that way, because a Hezbollah that is armed but silent is a weapon it can switch back on at the next bargaining round. So it retires the war, leaves the militia, and hands Lebanon a strong case for disarmament without doing any.
Did Trump talk “Total Surrender”?

Senator Lindsey Graham:
It is my opinion that signing the MOU will be beneficial to the United States, in as much as the Strait of Hormuz will begin to open, and the hostilities with Iran will stop.
Whether or not the United States can reach an acceptable, verifiable deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program and other issues is yet to be determined, but I see little downside to trying.

Another disappointing person!

Did you know Iran is already violating the new peace deal?
The IRGC fired drones at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz every single night since Sunday. This is what appeasement looks like. You can't make a deal with a regime that sponsors terrorism and expect them to suddenly become peaceful. The world needs to wake up and hold Iran accountable, not reward them.
