The United States on Wednesday released the official text of the memorandum of understanding reached over the weekend with Iran.
A senior US administration official read out the 14-point document, which spells out provisions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing certain financial restrictions on Iran and sets out expectations for addressing Iran’s nuclear program during future technical talks.
Titled the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the document was released after outcry that its text hadn’t been released publicly.
The memorandum is due to be formally signed Friday, triggering a 60-day-window to negotiate the final terms of a deal.

THIS IS THE WORST DEAL IN HISTORY!!!!
Verified lies by the degenerate dozy dumbbell, he said iran would get no money, they’re getting hundreds of billions. He said strait of hormuz would be permanently free to navigate, that’s only for 60 days, which iran announced and trump said it wasn’t true. Worst president in history.
The worst part is that Israel apparently can’t defend itself without permission from Iran, thanks Mr president for your support of Israel and the Jewish people.
“beneficiary designed by the Central Bank, excuse me, ultimate beneficiary”
Is that part of the MOU lol?
Real Points:
1) It is a hush money deal. Nothing released to the public is anything more than the tip of the iceberg of the under the the table bribes. In fact who gets embarrassed and who gets left out are part of the bribes.
2) This is what you get for nominating and then blindly supporting an adult film financier. Bloody Trump the Edomite also starred in many adult films. I am not talking about the Apprentice. I am talking about adult films. And if you’re really looking for the Holy One in this, this comes right after he basically ended Medicaid giving it work requirements, which in effect murders over 10 million Americans he knew that.
3) The Red Caeser Trump solely fought the war for cruelty’s sake he wasn’t doing anything in any country’s interest. And chaos in the markets equals bribes for his clan.
rt, he tried, give him a break.
There are so many components here that are so vague that I can’t judge whether it is a good deal.
I certainly see how each side is reading it as a good deal, but I don’t see it as much more than a commitment to negotiate.
And I don’t see the concessions being made up front as worthwhile simply in exchange for a commitment to negotiate.
I hope that there is a back-room deal that goes much further, that there is some sort of silent coup going on that needs the guise of peace in order to play out, or this is some sort of ruse to build support at home for a continuation to the conflict.
I sometimes wonder whether Trump considers the military to be thoroughly invincible and was shaken by the losses incurred.
I know that there were reports that when George W. Bush exited the situation room after deciding to invade Iraq, he looked as though he had been crying. You can say what you want about him and the decisions he made, but he understood the repercussions of his decisions when he made them.
it reads like a complete capitulation, line by line.
This should serve as a wake up call to only have betachon in hashem
אַל-תִּבְטְחוּ בִנְדִיבִים– בְּבֶן-אָדָם, שֶׁאֵין לוֹ תְשׁוּעָה
Before you all blame Trump. Listen up.
This is from G-D. Why is Israel being punished. Simple. Friday when all this was happening Israel ran its gay parade in tel Aviv. The week before there was the gay parade in Jerusalem. You think Heaven would allow it. Heaven turned Trump as a punishment.
I agree, Hashem is not going to reward rainbow flags flying across the country while the Torah is treated like a cancer. Eventually the boss is going to have his vengeance
