No Nukes, $300bn Fund: Inside the Reported US-Iran Deal

The Art of the Deal !! my arse !

I don’t think this was quite the outcome POTUS envisioned when he started his 3 week war.

Moodys say the war has cost the US taxpayer $132 billion.

Not only are they unfreezing the Iranian assets, but allowing them to be used however they want, i.e. drones, missiles etc. The last hostage settlement restricted the use of the assets to humanitarian uses.

$300 billion for rebuilding Iran.

No actual commitment to giving up the enriched Uranium, just talks about it.

Lifting all sanctions.

No mention of stopping support for Hezbollah or Hamas. No

Completely is a rather sweeping statement. I would be interested in seeing some details of how his statements about the agreement were actually wrong.

What a PR disaster, the worst deal ever. makes Obama's deal with Iran look like an absolute winner. If there ever was a doubt that Trump is the worst president ever, that is truly gone now.

I have already told you in another post ! get rid of that moron Trump !!

What a joke for US. The cart comes before the horse not after it. Trusting the terrorist regime for their word is absurd. Trump is simply

appeasing the grossly overinflated stock markets.

Saw this comparison between Obama's deal and now Trumps deal. "wow"!

The grifter is some sort of a dealmaker . What a complete loser the grub actually is. He loves spending othe r peoples money. Never uses his own.

Oh how right you are, look at the great job he did for the American people in the quality job of the reflecting pool !!

Awright, there you go! Goliath bites the dust! Who's have thunk the Bible's little David would turn out to be Shia Muslim?

And the next to fall? Here's hoping it's that evil aberration by the name of Israel.

A toast to Iran. Stood up to the Empire and turned it into a whimpering girly man eager to please. Went hard after the hitherto believed-to-be-invincible terrorist apartheid Israeli regime and gave them as good as it got.

A couple more things, Iran, if you will, as you deservedly celebrate. Liberate Lebanon's south from occupying IDF forces. And, finally, finally, give dignity and hope to Palestinians by forcing into being a Palestinian State, their own on land rightfully theirs.

Details of a reported 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the United States and Iran have emerged, outlining a framework for extending a ceasefire, easing sanctions and opening negotiations toward a broader agreement between the two countries.

Get today's headlines by email

The document has not been officially released by either government. However, Bloomberg News and Al Arabiya published what they described as the text of the agreement, which is expected to be signed on Friday.

A central feature of the reported framework is a commitment by Iran not to produce or acquire nuclear weapons. While the document addresses future discussions on Tehran’s nuclear programme, it does not appear to provide a detailed solution to outstanding nuclear issues.

Nuclear talks and negotiation timeline

Under the reported terms, Iran and the United States would begin negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement within 60 days of signing the MoU. The deadline could be extended if both sides agree.

The text states that Iran would reaffirm its pledge never to develop nuclear weapons. It also says that the future of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles and other nuclear-related matters, including the country’s civilian nuclear requirements, would be addressed during negotiations on a final agreement.

The agreement further provides that, after a final deal is signed, Iran would maintain the existing status of its nuclear programme while the United States would refrain from imposing new sanctions or increasing its military presence in the region.

Ceasefire and regional security

According to the reported document, the agreement would establish an immediate and permanent end to hostilities “on all fronts, including Lebanon”. Both sides, along with their allies involved in the conflict, would commit not to carry out hostile actions or threaten the use of force against one another.

Although Israel is not named in the text, references to allies involved in the conflict suggest that Israeli military operations in Lebanon are included within the ceasefire framework.

The MoU also calls on both countries to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and avoid interference in domestic affairs.

In addition, the United States would reportedly lift the naval blockade on Iranian ports immediately after the agreement is signed and withdraw its forces from surrounding areas within 30 days of a final settlement.

Iran, for its part, would take immediate steps to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with the aim of returning commercial traffic between the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman to pre-war levels within 30 days.

Sanctions relief and economic support

The reported framework outlines extensive sanctions relief for Iran.

The United States would commit to ending sanctions imposed through multiple channels, including unilateral American measures and sanctions linked to international bodies, according to a timetable to be determined in a final agreement.

Washington would also issue waivers allowing exports of Iranian oil, petrochemical products and related services, including banking, insurance and transportation, until broader sanctions are lifted.

The document additionally states that the US would release frozen or restricted Iranian assets as negotiations progress. Those funds would be available for use under the direction of Iran’s central bank.

Toward a final agreement

Another provision calls for the United States and regional partners to develop a programme for Iran’s economic rehabilitation and growth, supported by at least $300 billion in financing. The mechanism for implementing the plan would be negotiated within 60 days.

The MoU also proposes the creation of an oversight mechanism to monitor implementation and compliance with a future agreement.

Once key provisions related to military withdrawals, maritime access, sanctions waivers and asset releases begin to take effect, negotiations would continue on the remaining elements of a final settlement.

According to the reported text, any final agreement would ultimately be endorsed through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council.

....and is it excluded that a friend will set up some nuclear launchers in Iran?

There was a deal in place that was working perfectly well......Trump tore it up..........a deal brokered by Oman was on the table, days away from being signed......Trump walked away from it........and this is what he ended up with..........

The ceasefire between the United States and Iran is little more than a desperate face-saving measure, designed to allow the Trump administration to retreat from a conflict that has failed to achieve any of its stated objectives. Despite months of aggression, the U.S. has succeeded only in destabilizing the global economy and damaging its own strategic reputation, while failing to topple the Iranian regime, dismantle its nuclear ambitions, or neutralize its military capabilities. This agreement effectively kicks the central issues down the road, returning the region to the status quo—an environment dominated by a hostile, nuclear-ambitious regime—without providing any of the long-term security or robust oversight established by previous accords.

Ultimately, this deal appears to be a hollow political maneuver that does nothing to foster genuine peace. It ignores the continued intransigence of Israeli officials, who remain committed to pursuing unilateral military action, and relies on a preposterous "pay-to-survive" security model that alienates regional allies. By failing to secure a durable resolution to Iran’s nuclear program and ignoring the realities on the ground in Lebanon and Gaza, this fragile agreement serves merely as a temporary pause in a broader, failing strategy, leaving the region as volatile and dangerous as it was before the hostilities began.

The $300 billion will never work as is......private capital won't take the risk and the even if the Gulf States stumped up, Iran are not going to trade away their resources and future profits to their enemies. The US will have to (though not be seen to) fund the $300 billion using tax payers money. The Art of the Deal....?

I knew it was a lemon when he said he couldn't disclose the details. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to spot a person who is making an effort to dodge. The deal might have a clause that he go to Tehran and do the gay dance for the mullahs.

No wonder Trump is already "joking" that if this deal goes **** up he's going to blame Vance.

Weeks of chest thumping and pompous display of power, boast and agression to annihilate and destroy Iran if they do not surrender to his demand. Extreme rhetoric threatening to " civilisation will die "and "wipe off the face of Iran" now seem like outbursts from an insecured lunatic. He referred the Iranian leadership as thugs and animals and it rebounded so badly on him now as he is seen as nothing but a chicken. America capitulate and surrender to the sheep herders. This must be the lowest point in America military history after Vietnam.

More like the Art of the Steal--by Iran. Iran made out very well--300 billion with a 'b'. More billions wasted on top of that to just get back to where we were--and all because Trump has a 'thing' about Obama, and is always trying, and failing miserably, to best him, resulting in yet another Trump boondoggle.

The only plus I can see for Trump in this whole, sorry mess is it cements his status as the Worst President in US History--twice. No other President can claim this, he beat them all, and, again, did it TWICE, and as a super-tubby.

Trump will be happy to crow that he absolutely owns this record--I wonder where a good place would be for the inevitable plaque that Trump will demand, in gold lettering, of course. Perhaps it could be displayed on a table, with his renowned FIFA Peace Prize.

Posts with derogatory nicknames, intentional misspellings, or personal remarks will be removed. Spell names correctly for all sides of the debate.

Stand back for a moment and look at what Iran gets out of this: he may have attacked the country, but what a treaty! Could there perhaps now be pro-Tr*mp sympathies in the gov't while maintaining an anti-American standing? Maybe they will help him/MAGA win future elections.

Why is the man on the right-hand side, who was one of the deal's negotiators, not smiling? His expression makes it seem his thoughts are far, far away, back to the time when he thought he had a chance to become POTUS. The lad has reached the end of the dream.

I sure do hope Renfield Marco doesn't do anything rash. He could snap, would be the first Sec State to be taken out of the WH in a straight jacket.

No wonder Trump is already "joking" that if this deal goes **** up he's going to blame Vance.

JD has been quietly on DT's shirtlist for a while, not deferential enough. He knows if JD is the next POTUS that it could very well turn on him. Do bear in mind that the only one of the clowns in the posse that DT can't fire is the VP.

This war did not bring any “help” to people of Iran except more harsh life and execution by Iranian regime. The only help was for US war industries. Everything else still looks the same or will be back to what it was after while.

I’m just wandering if there is any face left for the U.S. military for future conflicts with China or any others.

OK.

After Trump's great success in restoring world peace, the following should be noted:
He started the chaos with the consequences known worldwide.
He made a deal to end this chaos he started.
All of this has cost the American taxpayer many billions and has also caused many billions of dollars in damage worldwide. The fact that many people also lost their lives or were wounded is easily overlooked here.
Also billions of american money will also flow towards the reconstruction of Iran.
He didn't win anything, he just lost. He is a loser, not only a MAGA- but also a MEGA-loser!
Nevertheless, he will certainly award himself the Golden World Peace Prize, which he personally invented, in the Golden Ballroom.

The Loser's Prize of the Century would be more appropriate!

Gloria in excelsis Trump!

I'm sure members of the first family are shareholders in war industry stocks. Just as they earn from so much of what they are involved in, they also become richer from this, only those who have to do the math every month become poorer.
