Iran

The aim:
Preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was the central justification for the U.S.-Israeli military campaign launched against Iran in early 2026. While this objective led to significant escalation, a newly finalized diplomatic agreement has fundamentally shifted the conflict's resolution.

The result:
  • The 14-Point Deal: Signed by President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the framework allows for immediate de-escalation. [1, 2]
  • Nuclear Commitments: Iran has agreed to never procure a nuclear weapon. Its existing uranium stockpile will be downblended or diluted under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). [1, 2]
  • 60-Day Negotiation Window: While the immediate conflict has paused, the permanent status of Iran's civilian nuclear program remains unresolved. The two sides have entered a 60-day window to hammer out a final treaty. [1, 2]
  • Economic Relief: In exchange for nuclear compliance, the U.S. will lift key sanctions and the vital Strait of Hormuz will reopen to global shipping. [1, 2]
So what’s everyone b*tching about?
TDS. Orange man bad, no matter what. Jizzer caught it too.
 
Can you expound, please? What specifically, did Iran negotiate in the agreement that made Trump their "*****"?
the sky being blue and the sun rising in the east.

Because this could have been done without the massive military campaign in various ways. We basically had the same agreement that Trump ripped up originally. Why not just reinforce that one years ago. We were also in negotiations when we starting dropping bombs. I still feel Israel baited us into this war and don't seem to be compliant on the resolution. Trump thought Iran was just going to roll over and got in over his head. I guarantee if Biden or Obama signed this MOU this board would have exploded.
 


Let's be honest, even if they managed a regime change, our history in getting the desired results haven't been great.

Because the IRGC wasn't abiding by that agreement and needed a reminder in the only way that they understand.
 
Yeah, but this guy still believes that it's 300 billion of US tax dollars and not funding by the Gulf states as long as Iran abides by the agreement, which of course, they won't.
Just using the same logic as we’ve heard for years from dumba*ss Trump and MAGAs about all the “US money” Obama “paid” Iran during the initial nuclear deal, when that was actually frozen Iranian assets being unfrozen. So if that didn’t bother you then, why would using the same logic bother you now? 🤷‍♂️

Well, I never made that claim about the previous POTUS.

And what were the terms of that agreement?

First - Obama was under zero obligation to release a dime of that money. None. That was a decades old issue and Obama just had to insert his dick in things. Yes, it was part of a resolution that Iran would not **wink wink** develop nukes **wink wink** but there was zero reason to release that money when he did.

Second - If you bothered to touch grass and read the MOU, you'd see that the USA is part of the coalition of countries footing that.
Paragraph 6

The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers, and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.

Third - I've copied the text verbatim, and supplied an image of the text so you can read it and sound out the words. The part in the red box means that The United States of America - AND OTHER COUNTRIES - will work to essentially rebuild Iran from the bombings keeping them from developing nuclear weaponry.

It's as clear as that, but I'm 100% confident you'll find a way to squeal.
 
"You're welcome" is code for FU

Trump touts oil flow, Iran nuclear pledge and booming markets: 'You're welcome'​


With critics hyperbolizing on the negatives of making peace with Iran – with those same critics rebuking war with Iran, seeming refusing to have it either way – President Donald Trump boldly sent the "you're welcome" message.
Trump declared victory on energy, national security and the economy in a Truth Social post Thursday, saying oil is flowing, Iran “can never have a nuclear weapon,” and U.S. markets are surging.
OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON (THE WORLD WILL BE SAFE!), THE STOCK MARKETS ARE ROARING, JOBS ARE AT RECORDS, AND PRICES ARE DROPPING (AFFORDABILITY!). OUR COUNTRY IS STRONG, SAFE, AND RESPECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE. “YOU’RE WELCOME!” President DJT

- President Donald Trump on Truth Social

The post comes as Trump and his allies frame the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) as a major de-escalation breakthrough involving military operations, oil exports and nuclear commitments.
Critics of the MOU are rejecting peace as making a deal with the enemy, but Trump is reminding he is a peacemaker.
 
No. You wish that Trump fails at every turn just so you can say “I told you so”. You know it’s true.

Did you ever once hope that Trumps pulls this off with great success?

No you did not.
You’ll excuse me for not having the least bit of confidence in Trump and Hegseth. I saw it as hopeless and won’t apologize for being right. Blind loyalty in the name of patriotism is retarded.
 
@ Anti Israel Tibby and Trog:

Israel is not very happy with the deal.

That must mean Trump said “eff Israel”.

So from the perspective of a TDS sufferer, would you not consider this being at least one positive to come out of the deal?
I don’t want to pay $300 billion to piss off Israel.
 
But it did.
I’m sure you’d be even more upset had Israel benefited from the agreement right?
if Israel benefits? Flog and the pfags on the pLeft lose their ****
if Israel does NOT benefit? Flog and the pfags on the pLeft lose their ****
 
Deflection?


Yes. Deflection.
This would be your third, which evolved from your original statement saying that conservatives are now attributing the deal to Vance…to which I responded, to which went off on another tangent…some nonsense about auto pen….and now this.
 
You’ll excuse me for not having the least bit of confidence in Trump and Hegseth. I saw it as hopeless and won’t apologize for being right. Blind loyalty in the name of patriotism is retarded.
No, I can’t excuse you.
Not having confidence in Trump or Hegseth does not exempt you from hoping Trump succeeds.

Just have the courage to admit it like this ugly a-hole.



Just curious, are you as ugly as most liberals?

I educated your little liberal buddy here on this topic too. Everyone gets this wrong.

The assets were Iran's and the former Shah's - NOT the IRGC's. Under the Shah, they placed a very large order with the US for military equipment ($400M), including fighter jets. The money was put into the FMS trust fund and Iran was waiting on the equipment when the IRGC overthrew the Government.

There was then the Hostage Crisis when the Iranian militants siezed the US Embassy.

So we froze those assets. And again, they were the Democratic Iranian Government's funds, not the IRGC's.

When the IRGC was given the money under Obama, it was calculated with GREAT interest. Obama released $1.7Billion back to Iran.

I wonder where that extra $1.3B (above the $400M) of revenue came from? Hmmmm.
