Trump's Hastily Clinched US Surrender to Iran MoU Beginning to Unravel

Not surprising that, having hastily signed his Memorandum of US Surrender Understanding with Iran because he feared that gasoline prices at the pump might cause his MAGA herd to lose the elections, Trump's postponement of the real issues at stake - nuclear issue, ballistic missiles, Iranian frozen assets, Iran's proxies.... - is now coming back to bite him in the ass as he pretends to solve all those issues in 60 days. This sounds more like his 2024 campaign promise of resolving the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours once in the white house, thanks to his stupid charm.

The dumbass is now screaming at himself. "Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I'm seeing!" he said on social media. Gasoline prices is the only thing on his mind right now. Forget nuclear, forget ballistic, forget Hezbollah, .... none of those weighty issues matter to the Great Moron because he doesn't understand them. They're too complicated for his white trash American brain.

Now that the celebrations at signing the toilet paper are ebbing, and sobriety is taking over the terror-inspired drunkenness, reality is setting in. The reality is that Iran got so much more than the US, and any expectation that Iran will within 60 days give in on all the issues for which dumbass Trump launched the war as he was led by the Zionist leash handler Netanyahu is an asinine expectation. The leash has a bit frayed between the two buddies because a moron friend like Trump is reckless, impulsive and unpredictable. Israel's military and political leadership were taken by surprise at the Great Moron throwing Israel under the bus just to get the Strait of Hormuz open and see gasoline prices in Glasgow, Montana, drop. I guess the "Judeo-Christian" bullshit is vulnerable to such momentous issues like the price of a gallon of milk at the local 7-11. The Israeli leadership is complaining that Israel's military freedom of action, particularly in Lebanon, which has never ever been challenged, is suddenly hostage to the diplomatic tug of war in Washington DC. Live and learn.

Perhaps Hezbollah should learn its lessons too, namely that warmongering and terrorism are a dead-end. But, as is the case now with the Lebanese government leading the negotiations in DC on behalf of Hezbollah, when military savagery is combined with civilized negotiations and diplomacy, there may be some gains to be made.

Predictably, we should expect Trump to now start lashing out at Iran just as he is lashing out at Netanyahu: Why? Because with every reckless decision he makes, he comes face to face with his own stupidity. And the "genius" that he thinks he is cannot look at himself in the mirror and see stupidity. How could the moron think that Iran will offer him concessions on a plate of baklava after refusing to make them for decades?

America, do not elect a businessman moron again next time around. NO, you can't run a country like you run a business, especially when the businessman in question is a weird hybrid of a moron and a criminal.

US, Iran at odds on nuclear inspections, frozen assets in deal to end war
By Jarrett Renshaw and Tala Ramadan

LOWER MACUNGIE TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania/DUBAI, June 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran had agreed to nuclear inspections into "infinity," while Tehran said it had made no such concession in negotiations, raising questions about the viability of their fragile peace deal.

The two countries, which ended a first round of negotiations in ‌Switzerland on Monday, also offered conflicting accounts about financial incentives for Iran, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and Israel's parallel war in Lebanon - all major aspects of their framework deal ‌signed last week aiming to end the war.

Nevertheless, Trump said negotiations with Iran were going smoothly. "We're getting along quite well," he said at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The United States also relaxed travel curbs on Iran's World Cup soccer team, allowing it to travel from ​Tijuana, Mexico, to Seattle two days before its next match instead of one.

In signs of withering domestic support for the war, Trump's poll numbers weakened while the Republican-controlled Senate defied the president and voted to halt the war, in a largely symbolic move that highlighted fissures in his party.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll found 35% of Americans think the U.S. is now in a weaker position with Iran than before the war, while 23% believe it is in a stronger position.

The Senate vote of 50-48 endorsed a resolution passed by the House of Representatives this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28.

It ‌was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution ⁠directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities under the War Powers Act, though it was not immediately clear how the votes might affect the conflict.

RESCUING SEAFARERS

Though prospects for a lasting peace are far from certain, the initial agreement between Washington and Tehran has allowed traffic to flow again through the strait, which typically ⁠handles one-fifth of global energy supply.

Trump said on Wednesday he had told the Justice Department to look into oil companies for not lowering pump prices in line with falling crude costs.

"Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I'm seeing!" he said on social media.

Oil prices fell more than 1% on Wednesday, extending this week's losses and trading near their lowest since before the war began on February 28.

The United Nations' shipping agency said it was ​working ​to evacuate 11,000 seafarers stranded when Iran closed the strategic waterway.

The agreement calls for Iran to allow traffic to ​flow freely for 60 days, though it has said it might impose tolls or ‌other fees on shipping subsequently.

In a joint statement on Tuesday, Iran and Oman, which controls the other side of the strait, stressed their "sovereign rights" in the waterway, adding that they would work together to manage traffic, along with associated costs.

Oman said it had coordinated with the International Maritime Organization to provide a temporary corridor for vessels seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, visiting Gulf allies unsettled by the peace deal, said Iran would not be allowed to charge tolls in the strait as part of any final agreement.

The deal calls for an immediate end to the war, including in Lebanon, lifting U.S. sanctions on Tehran and unfreezing Iranian assets held abroad. It also outlines a $300-billion investment fund for the Islamic Republic's reconstruction.

AT ODDS OVER NUCLEAR INSPECTIONS, FROZEN ASSETS

The framework itself sets no limits on Iran's nuclear program, ‌an issue to be tackled in 60 days of negotiations.

Trump claimed that Iran had agreed to allow international inspectors ​indefinite access to its damaged nuclear sites.

"Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!)," ​Trump said on social media.

Iran denied it had discussed its nuclear program at the talks and ​said it had not agreed to invite International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back to the country.

The two sides also disagreed on details of a provision that would give ‌Iran access to funds that have been frozen in overseas accounts.

Trump said any ​unfrozen assets would be used to buy food and ​medical supplies from the U.S., while Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, said Iran would decide how to spend that money.

Washington has already agreed to waive sanctions on Iran for 60 days, allowing Tehran to sell oil and related products and receive payment for them.

Israel's parallel war against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon also remains a sticking point.

Bahreini said the deal requires ​Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, while Israel has said it ‌will maintain a security zone in southern Lebanon and act to "neutralize" threats against Israeli soldiers and citizens.

Even as Israel and Lebanon renewed talks in Washington on Tuesday, Israeli gunfire killed ​two people in southern Lebanon, its civil defence and health ministry said, prompting Iran-backed Hezbollah to accuse Israel of violating a ceasefire that has largely held since Sunday.
