So Trump, in his racist fury, canceled an existing plan that prevented Iran from producing nuclear weapons and permitted rigorous investigations. While this plan did grant access to several billion dollars those funds were either Iranian funds formerly frozen as part of prior sanctioned nuclear activities or repayments for a trade deal the US had failed to uphold their side of.

To replace this deal, "No new wars" Trump started a new war which ended up closing one of the world's most influential shipping lanes, revealed to Iran how easy it is to close that shipping lane, revealed to the world how affable the US military is, lost the war he started and will have to actually pay reparations in an amount double the number of funds the Obama plan gave access to. The end result of this will be that Iran has fewer restrictions (though still no nuclear weapon), more money, and greater respect in the region.

Trump will still claim he got a better deal.

That’s not the onion.

Oh man this article is good. Imagine being a soldier in this stupid war, dying even, so some cunts can pull some real estate deals in Iran.

If you’re in the military, you’re trash.

$300 billion dollars is a ridiculous figure. This deal is going to be structured in a way that benefits Trump and his cronies. They’ll only pay Iran such an enormous amount if a significant part of it is captured as bribes.

If true, this is the USAs version of "oops, sorry"

It appears that everyone but Trump was right, trying to claim the strait would be very difficult and expensive, practically impossible without boots on the ground.

I think this deal is probably the best the USA can do at this point, but I don't think Trump will agree. What a moron. There's no clearer sign of the USAs rapid decline than having this clown as our President, once again I am humiliated.

Welcome to the new reality. He's going to drain every American dry.

Regarding this administration I wake up every day and think "what the fuck is happening now?"

It'll work too

Sounds like a loser fund

Step 1) Declare war upon your "enemy" (friend, like Putin)

Step 2) Say the war is unsustainable

Step 3) Officially pay Russia billions of billions of dollars

And y'all said he's stupid

This is geat news. The last time Iran got economic reprieve their economy grew by 6-7% per year and purchasing power grew.

That said this won't happen again if Israel has any say in the matter.

Donald Trump is rather bland

Donald Trump is a stupid "man"

So all the "king's" fools & all the tool's "men"

Had to rename Iran's list of demands

The 300 billion will be paid to Trump directly or indirectly eventually

It all depends on how this is funded, and this is mostly a colonization trap for Iran. US has recently controlled the budgets of Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Venezuela. There is full threat of confiscation for any non-compliance, and this was done to Afghanistan.

Funding could be extorted from GCC colonies, and like Venezuela, pressure for US major oil companies. There is zero history of any US investment in these colonial trap arrangements. Just bribery of political class to keep US control as long as feasible. Like Venezuela (and Iraq), US oil companies would be reluctant to spend cash because future nationalization is a likely retaliation to US extortion.

Obama accomplished it for half as much.
