The Wall Street Journal is publishing details of a draft of the deal to end the Iran War that was circulated by U.S. officials at the G-7 meeting in France. The deal calls for...

1. An immediate and permanent end to any hostilities in Lebanon.

2. The U.S. and Iran to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

3. A 60-day final agreement negotiation window, extendable by mutual consent.

4. The U.S. will lift the naval blockade and prevent any interference or obstruction against Iran. Hormuz traffic will be fully restored within 30 days. The U.S. will withdraw its forces within 30 days.

5. The U.S. will ensure a $300+ billion rehabilitation and economic development fund for Iran.

6. The U.S. will lift all sanctions currently placed on Iran.

7. Iran pledges to never produce nuclear weapons.

8. Iran and the U.S. agree to maintain a status quo, Iran on its nuclear program and the U.S. will impose no new sanctions.

9. The U.S. will immediately, upon signing the MOU and until the formal lifting of sanctions against Iran, will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products, and all related services including banking, insurance, transportation, and the like.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What I observed at the day job, when something didn't go the "JC's" way: he would immediately look around the office, for someone he could beat up.

Folks in Cuba, Columbia, Mexico, better keep their heads down.

Hang on Cochise. "ensure $300B"? So, if the Gulf states don't pay it all, like the media has been telling us, it gets paid by the US?

Trump has been bragging about how "powerful" this "deal" is. Must be the "powerful" stink.

The negotiations are not yet completed but Iran is sending out its propaganda
and the left thinks its gospel."
- LOL Mom

So the Wall Street Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is “the left”?

Thank you for the update, I didn’t realize he’d been turned.

EXCLUSIVE
MIDDLE EAST
The Trump-Iran Deal Allows Tehran to Immediately Sell Oil
The agreement also waives banking and transport sanctions to facilitate transactions, an early financial benefit


By the way, this is not “in the future”. The oil tankers are already traveling through the strait now, putting money in Iran’s pocket.

United Against Nuclear Iran, a nonprofit, said an Iranian supertanker carrying crude oil, Diona, had left Chabahar port, crossed the U.S. blockade and was sailing out of the Gulf of Oman on Tuesday with its location tracker active. It was the first such transit since the start of the U.S. blockade in April. Shortly afterward, a second supertanker, Hero II, also crossed the blockade, according to the nonprofit and ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic.

I know it’s hard to understand, but almost every time there’s a war somebody wins. Somebody loses. While it’s difficult to contemplate, you should at least consider the possibility that this is the biggest loss in recent American history, diplomatically speaking. Just for the record, here’s a quick summary of how the deal is being described by the EDITORIAL BOARD of the Journal, note for being chock full of hawks and Right wingers:

Opinion/Hawkish Concerns: Opinion columnists and some conservative critics describe the deal as a "strategic retreat". They argue it gives Iran financial relief and oil export access upfront, which takes away U.S. leverage before securing permanent commitments regarding the country's missiles, regional proxies, or dismantling of all nuclear infrastructure.

A Fragile Compromise: The WSJ Opinion team notes the deal falls short of initial U.S. war aims, leaving deep-seated structural issues unresolved while protecting Iran's geopolitical standing in places like Lebanon.


Since we are in Age of Men®, why don’t you guys man-up and admit that this was a screw up? Then we can get back to other important things, like turning the Reflecting Pool blue. (Oh wait, screwed that one up too!) Well, I’m sure inflation is under control, right? And the rebuild of the Trump-Kennedy Center is going swimmingly. OK, ta ta for now. I’m off to the big bridge opening in Windsor, which promises to lower transportation costs for consumers and help American exports. Hope it’s a sunny day!

What’s that?

When Trump was asked if his 'deal' was really better than Obama's, he erupted in anger. LOL.

His deal SUCKS! And everybody outside of the MAGA propaganda bubble can see this.

If Obama's JCPOA is "ass", this deal so far is a flabby orange ass wrapped in an extra large adult diaper with a fresh steaming dump in it. The next stage is operation Change The President's Diaper.
