Trump completely folded to Iran

[SamuelTheThird]

After the strike in Beirut, Lebanon, Iran canceled negotiations and was preparing to attack Israel, However, POTUS Trump offered last-minute concessions including "the preservation of Lebanon's territorial integrity, Israel's withdrawal from the Lebanon border, and the immediate lifting of the [US naval] blockade" (which was allegedly supposed to happen in 30 days, not immediately), as well as conceding that "the legal system for navigation in the Persian Gulf would be arranged in cooperation between Iran and Oman."

1. do you have a link??

[marble falls]

4. It's been in the press for almost two weeks. Search is your friend.

[hookaleft]

8. I don't think so

this is from today.

[marble falls]

9. Seriously? Everything has just happened today??? TACO's been bragging this thing all week.

[hookaleft]

11. reread the OP nt

[marble falls]

16. What is it you think I miss. No shit: it's June 14th. Have nice day.

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Good question. ❤️

[Cha]

35. I agree. What's wrong with asking for a link?

I do it when none is provided, especially in the OP.

Then the OP adds it, usually saying.. "Sorry, they forgot it." And the world is right again.

Mahalo, pants ☮️💙🌈🌊🍀

39. Dems da rulz... unless I missed something I think we're supposed to link our material unless it's self generated.

We do have some interesting original writers here. But I know most of them.

I'm always asking questions anyway. 😺🤓

I'm a curious cat.

Mahalo, Cha! 🌼❤️🌞

[Cha]

41. Yes, I thought it was a well-grounded rule.

And only logical and informative.

45. Nothing wrong with asking for a link, especially if it comes out of the blue and you can't find it when you search it...

... the exception to the rule is a situation that the details of which have been in many sources and in the news for several weeks. He didn't mention a single detail we all haven't read about on DU or in the news.

He wasn't quoting anyone or re-posting anything. I read it as a recounting of what we all knew about for several weeks.

2. trump's big advantage?

he can always lie, because that's what he does.

[marble falls]

3. Such big winning.

[TheProle]

5. It's from FARS

Iranian state news.

6. You just know Trump would do anything for timing.

Gave up everything because it’s his birthday and wanted the deal signed on it and before the big wrestling show tonight at the White House.

[D_Master81]

7. I don't see this holding

So nothing on nuclear material or enrichment? Wasn’t that supposed to be the reason we had to attack them twice in the past year?

[SamuelTheThird]

10. Looks like ships are still being attacked

[Bookreadingliberal53]

12. And there it is

Aaaaaaand there it is…

15. And Iran is still warning ships

[Dangling0826]

13. Trump just needed a way to save face

The Iranians just said, "Fine, we agree. Now get out." Nothing will change. If anything, Israel will probably strike within Lebanon again within the next few days, and Trump will find an excuse to say the ceasefire is still in force.

14. Ex-GOP lawmaker rips 'bozo' Trump for 'giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did'

Iran is going to get far money under the trump plan than Iran got from President Obama
Ex-GOP lawmaker rips 'bozo' Trump for 'giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did'
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2677037429/

Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger tore into President Donald Trump over his handling of the war with Iran on Saturday, accusing the president of buying his way out of the conflict and walking away with almost nothing for it.

"Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over," Kinzinger wrote in a post on X that accompanied a video. "So desperate that he's giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a 'maintenance fee' to all ships. Well done, bozo."

In the video, recorded selfie-style from the driver's seat of his car, the ex-congressman argued that Trump's record of dishonesty has gutted Washington's credibility to the point that Americans now wait to hear Iran's version of events before believing their own government.

"It's because Donald Trump lies constantly, all the time," Kinzinger said. "The constant lies take away any version of credibility. And that is a terrible place for us to be in."

Then he ran the numbers as he sees them.

" Barack Obama gave Iran $1.5 billion and we lost our mind. And I think rightly so. We called that out," Kinzinger said. He claimed Trump "has already given Iran $3 billion," lifted sanctions on Iranian oil when the war started, and is now "set to give Iran an additional around $25 or $30 billion."

"Barack Obama, $1.5 billion. Donald Trump, 30-some billion," he said. "And we don't even have the nuke stuff."

19. Yes. Let's see the details.

Where’s the fine print, and how much fine print IS there?

Can we see that?

ALL of it?

[SergeStorms]

38. I think it's just Orange Jebus.....

flapping his gums again. How many times has he pulled this, "We have a deal" crap?
He's just trying to get Wall Street to skyrocket tomorrow morning before yanking the football away again.
This is getting old.

[Aussie105]

20. I guess you don't like Iran in general?

Which part offends you? Their form of government, religion or language?
Or you just soaked up the anti-Iran propaganda that has made the rounds for decades?

Anyhow, that's your problem.

Iran now has more reason than ever to develop some long range nukes.

When they do, the US will suddenly have to be polite to Iran.

[Jack Valentino]

27. "The Islamic Republic regime in Iran consists of a mix of homicidal, murderous, theocratic, oligarchic bigots". SO,

seems about the same as OUR current 'leadership' !

Somebody should probably take OUR nuclear weapons away, until we have a SANE leadership,
which hopefully will happen by 2029...

[PufPuf23]

28. Your mindset is part of the problem. Agree there is no actual deal.

The 14 point deal looks infeasible on many specifics as well as total capitulation by the USA with no guarantees by Israel.

[0rganism]

33. congrats on 10k posts!

bummer about the topic, but hey, you made it to 10000 of 'em.

1 question - you said

total capitalization by the USA

Did you mean

total capitulation by the USA

?

[PufPuf23]

37. Not paying attention to post milestone. Thank you!

You are correct that my fingers typed the wrong word so will fix.

[0rganism]

40. lol! I miss all mine too, was just scrolling along and it popped

Thanks for the clarification, makes more sense to me this way.

[ToxMarz]

29. I think we need to find a better way to ensure they never have a nuke

Because constantly threatening and bombing the shit out of them is only going to make them more determined (and not in and offensive posture but defensive). The way it's going we aren't going to know they have a nuke until after they already do, no matter how much we forcefully declare 'They can never have a nuke!'.

[state of stupid]

30. You are correct. From everything I have been hearing and reading, a memorandum of understanding

is not a deal. It is an agreement on what going to be negotiated and resolved to reach a deal.

[BigmanPigman]

18. He only wanted the deal to happen on his stupid birthday.

Iran has psychologists on hand to "advise and respond" to psychopathic tRump's ever changing demands. That's smart! You need to know who/what you are dealing with on a realistic level. They know he's crazy and dying. Team Iran is smarter than Team tRump.

[Aussie105]

21. Trump: It's my birthday!

Time to celebrate!

Let there be fights under a metal arch in a thunderstorm, and where is my Noble peace prize?

[Ray Bruns]

22. Picture of trump announcing a deal with Iran

[surfered]

23. I would not be surprised. He renegotiated the North American Trade agreement in his first term.

During his second term, he called it a terrible deal and whoever negotiated it (I repeat, it was him) was stupid. He tore up that deal by unilaterally imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

The Art of the Deal negotiator is an idiot. I guarantee his deal with Iran will be much worse than the 2015 agreement he tore up.

[LT Barclay]

24. But I would bet that he profited personally somewhere. Watch for financial transfers from Iran to Russia to Trump

[littlemissmartypants]

26. Just because he declared something...

Doesn't mean it's reality. He's a fucked up psychopath and he's not in touch with reality.

I'll believe him when he's dead. It makes about as much sense.

31. Horrendous deal for the U.S. per the MOU released by MEHR

Now, it is likely that MEHR is exaggerating, but this is still a train wreck of an agreement for the U.S. A few highlights for me:

1) Trump sold the Iranian opposition down the river - See #2

2) Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz - this is not as big deal as it sounds because Iran can only charge so much for access and this could become a 4 way street with Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman also charging for access.

3) The U.S. will never be able to get an embargo on another country again just because we ask for it, or at least not one on Iran.

What a colossal screw up by the Administration.

Mehr releases what it says are details of the Iran-US MoU:

34. Is the Strait of Hormuz international waters?

If it is, I don't understand why the UN is just sitting on their hands and letting anyone control it?

[Dr. T]

32. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Iran is punking Dim Don. They're playing him like a fiddle.

[Initech]

36. God he fucking sucks so bad at this. Can we please fire his ass already?

[mvd]

42. What, is this "truce" #1,052,351?

Trump’s incompetence knows no bounds.

[Xolodno]

43. After his "high" in Venezuela...

...and plenty of hawks around him saying to go for it. He believed the bullshit without asking harder questions...not that he ever has.

Joke's on you white trash President. You believed the "we will be greeted as liberators" shit.

[marble falls]

44. Sam, you called that perfectly. Good job!

[Johnny2X2X]

46. There's already a bot army promoting this deal

But even bots are having a tough time painting it as anything other than a failure.
