If this agreement with Iran is the results of a master negotiator, then I need to apply for the job.
The reported terms of the Memorandum of Understanding seem pretty one-sided and Iran is the big winner.
They get paid $300 billion bucks, their assests unfrozen, and all sanctions lifted. They promise not to work on nukes (sure). They won't charge tolls to go through the Straight of Hormuz for 60 days. Irans keeps their ballistic missles. The Iranians will "discuss" the nuclear material they have already developed. All fighting has to stop in Lebanon. Of course Hezbolla will shoot missiles at Israel in about nine minutes after the 60 days, so the Iranians have an excuse to ignore the "we will stop trying to make a nuke" provision.
The US and our allies get....*crickets chirping*...
Seems like the Art of the Deal got us a win/didn't lose proposition. We were in a better position before the start of this so-called war.
Maybe I'm missing something or more will come out of the sixty day discussions.
Per reports:
Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, boasted in comments to state TV that the deal had given them even more than they set out to achieve.
“Everything we sought to achieve through military action, we obtained several times over through negotiation; it was not even comparable,” he said.

Yes.
So, Iran (very soon) having nukes was a better position?
At least Trump (yep- I said his name - makes your TDS-affected skin crawl, doesn't it?) didn't deliver pallets of cash to Iran like the liberals' savior did, or kick the can down the road like so many other presidents have.
Also, They don't "get paid 300 million bucks". They get the ability to get loans for 300 million bucks (and not from US).
But keep following, defending and supporting your screeching, whining, lying liberal socialist idols. Surely their destructive ideas and policies won't affect YOUR town, right?

I don't know who anon is so I'm going to ignore him, except to say, much like him, that you need to actually read the MOU. Which is not an agreement; it's a Memorandum of Understanding, which is a whole different ballgame.
At the same time, I don't expect the IRGC to be able to keep any agreement that may be reached, post-MOU (Islamists lie by their very nature; it's part of Islam, it's called taqqiya) and fully expect them eventually to end up pounded back into the Stone Age as a result.
If you people think I have TDS you haven’t read here much.
If you think I’m a liberal you’ve never read here.
