I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.
If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.
The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.
President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.
@LauraLoomer@SohrabAhmari@JDVance What JD Vance is trying to do is like selling America to Islamists!!! It's so sad to see what is happening in the US!!!
@Osint613 Stop pretending like you care about Iranians!!! You left them alone with this brutal regime and you used their blood as a leverage to get a deal with their murderers!! You should be ashamed!!!
@alexbruesewitz Stop insulting Iranians who risk everything to fight against this regime by calling them bots!!! They have every right to not like this ridiculous MOU!! There's not even a single paragraph about human rights in it!!
@Osint613 A hunger problem? You just want to insult Iranians who sacrificed everything to protest against this regime? They just wanted freedom not food!!
@StateDept They will never change!! They are still executing people in Iran!!
You should never trust those who used to say "Death to America" if you really care about your country and your children!
The U.S. Treasury just issued a new license, "General License X," that reopens Iran's oil (including petrochemicals) business to the world. Here's what it lets Iran do, and why each piece matters.
1/3 It lets Iran produce, ship, and sell its oil — not just unload what's already at sea, but keep the whole operation running. The previous license was much more narrow in scope and only covered tankers already loaded during a certain period.
The biggest piece: the money flows back to Tehran. The license explicitly allows buyers to pay Iran — including the Iranian government and blacklisted Iranian entities — directly for the oil. This isn't just permission to sell. It's permission to get paid.
And the payments can be made in U.S. dollars. The dollar is the backbone of global finance, and Iran has been largely locked out of it for years. Handing the regime dollar revenue restores access that sanctions were specifically designed to deny.
@Osint613 What Trump actually means is that it doesn't matter that they are executing people in Iran as long as they benefit the US he we will ignore it!!
