(182,421 posts)19. According to some sources, here are the terms of what trump agreed to
Link to tweet
According to Iranian and Arab sources Trump agreed to
-compensate Tehran by releasing blocked funds (at least $6 billion)
-lift sanctions
-remove American forces from around Iran (Iranian sources more specifically mention the naval assets in the region)
-lift the blockade
-ceasefire in all fronts including in Lebanon (basically allowing Tehran to rearm its proxy network and help Hizballah reasserts its control in Lebanon)
In exchange for
-gradual reopening of Strait of Hormuz with the transit remaining under Tehrans management and control
-negotiations over other issues with no hard deadline (the 30-day negotiation window can be extended)
Washington has not denied any of these claims.
This is a total surrender, pretty symbolic if it is announced on Memorial Day.

At very best, any deal short of complete capitulation will not be as good as the JCPOA.

I'm sorry, but "largely negotiated" sounds too much like "almost pregnant" to me.
