It looks like Iran is going to be getting 300 billion. And, this is not their own money, this is 300 billion given to them from outside investors. There may be a release of frozen funds (their own money,) on top of this.

Obama got heck for releasing a couple bil of their own money. We are collecting money from dozens of private investors and governments for them to make a 300 billion lot of gold (and we will still probably release their frozen funds on top of this.). And, we also may be doing sanctions relief.

I don't know what kind of war goals there were, but if it was generating a 300 billion gold pot to get the strait back to where it was, well done to Trump...

Apparently Trump is fuming at Israel for their actions in Lebanon. Israel is basically of the opinion such deals do not apply to them because they didn't sign. Iran and the U.S. wants Israel to abide by it. Or is Israel intentionally trying to sabotage peace talks? Israel basically said Iran and America can do what they need to do, but they are going to keep doing their thing...

Trump is in a cluster now. He is so desperate to get out of this war, he is begging to get through a terrible deal that will soon be the laughing stock of deals... Iran is actually in a pretty good position now.

It is confirmed that the U.S. President (Trump,) and VP Vance, and Iran's designated representative have digitally signed the agreement. And, that the Friday affair is simply a publicity ceremony.

So why not release it? The deal has to be released eventually (by the time it is presented to the Senate at the very latest,) so why delay? Unless the answer is the deal is embarrassing and Trump hopes there will be enough white noise in a couple weeks that by then less people will care....

I have zero belief that Trump will sit on camera and read the deal word for word himself on camera on Friday as he promised. Like, 0% chance this happens....

Donny needs to tell Bibi to either fall in line with the agreement-since Bibi goaded Donny into starting the not-a-war in the first place-or Bibi can forget about any more US aid to Israel.

It sounds like this is causing more drama between them than ever before, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out...

LOL!

I freakin' knew it...T.A.C.O.

Iran won!

$300 BILLION?

Let me guess... paid only by the USA and not Israel?

Will Israel agree to stop all hostiliities?

This shred of half-assed diplomacy has arrived stillborn and will certainly not lead to a deal better than the 2015 deal the fat oaf narcissistically abrogated.

Will this finally cause MAGA to implode and turn against the fat oaf?

If this ends up being the actual memo signed, this is the most pathetic thing ever.

It is not a surprise that Trump is hiding this if this is an accurate leak.

What is happening with the nuclear issues, you know, allegedly the reason Trump started this war? Oh not addressed at all, just a vague, "we will keep working on or?". Wow this really is "a strongly written agreement...."
