When I retweet or quote a tweet, it's either a nod of agreement or a trophy for the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Retweet or quote—shame or applause.
BREAKING: JD Vance just accidentally confirmed the DIRTY SECRET about Trump's Iran deal.
JD Vance went on CBS News and tried to spin Donald Trump's Iran deal. Instead, he CONFIRMED exactly how badly Trump got fleeced.
CBS correspondent Ed O'Keefe asked Vance point-blank whether Iran would have access to a $300 BILLION reconstruction fund. Vance's answer? Essentially yes — "funded by the Gulf Coast coalition so long as they honor their end of the obligation."
So let's do the math that the Trump administration desperately doesn't want you to do. Let's compare Trump's Iran deal to the one Republicans spent a DECADE calling the worst deal in American history — Barack Obama's.
OBAMA'S IRAN DEAL:
• $1.7 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets
• In exchange for a 98% reduction in Iran's uranium stockpile
• And strict limits capping enrichment at 3.7%
TRUMP'S IRAN DEAL:
• $24 BILLION in unfrozen assets and cash
• A $300 BILLION reconstruction fund
• Lifted sanctions
• In exchange for an "opened Strait" under Iran and Oman's control
Read those numbers again. Trump is handing Iran roughly FOURTEEN TIMES the unfrozen cash Obama did — plus a $300 billion reconstruction windfall — after starting a war that nobody wanted, spiking gas prices, and killing the existing ceasefire because he found negotiations "boring." AND the deal just kicks what happens with Iran's uranium stockpile to future negotiations!
Republicans screamed for YEARS that Obama "gave Iran billions" and "appeased the mullahs." They called his deal treasonous. They tore it up. And now their guy is giving Iran an order of magnitude MORE money for a far weaker arrangement.
But here's the part Vance accidentally revealed. He warned that Iranian hardliners would "over-emphasize the benefits that Iran gets while under-emphasizing all the things they have to concede."
That's PROJECTION. Because it's the TRUMP administration that's been over-emphasizing the "wins" while burying the $24 billion, the $300 billion fund, the lifted sanctions, and the fact that the strategic Strait would fall under Iranian and Omani control. Vance is accusing Iran of doing EXACTLY what his own administration is doing — hiding the real terms of the deal from the public.
The man who promised to be tougher than Obama on Iran just handed Tehran the biggest payday in its history — after dragging America into a war first.
$1.7 billion versus $324 billion. That's the difference between Obama's "terrible" deal and Trump's "great" one.
Someone should mention that.

The US-Iran conflict hasn’t been resolved. A hot war has potentially been paused, but a very Cold War continues. The core sources of tension (nukes, missiles, proxies, and even Hormuz) have yet to be negotiated. This isn’t the birth of a new Middle East.
The Memorandum of Misunderstanding between the US and Iran:
The US believes Iran will restore the Strait of Hormuz as a secure international waterway, make significant nuclear concessions, and potentially abandon its revolutionary ideology--including its opposition to the US and Israel and support for regional proxies--in exchange for major investment from the same Gulf countries that have just been on the receiving end of thousands of Iranian missiles and drones.
The Islamic Republic of Iran believes it will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, receive tens of billions of dollars in upfront sanctions relief and unfrozen assets, make no concessions on missiles, drones, or proxies, while potentially offering to suspend uranium enrichment for the period of time they need to reconstitute their bombed nuclear facilities.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:
– According to the MoU, Iran will be responsible for managing passage through the Strait of Hormuz, in coordination with Oman.
– Iran is not seeking to impose tolls. However, in return for navigation services, environmental protection, insurances and other maritime services, Iran will collect the necessary fees.

This is NOT a DEAL.
But a Memorandum Of Understanding towards a deal.
Here's what is happening now:
The Strait Of Hormuz will reopen, controlled by Iran.
The U.S. will completely lift it's Navy blockade.
Iran will receive monetary compensation. Through lifting of some sanctions or through various Gulf countries.
No leadership change. The Islamic Republic of Iran is still standing.
Thus far, Iran won this war.
An excellent look at Abiy Ahmed on the eve of his re-election and consolidation of power. I think he is in a much stronger position domestically and regionally than is believed. I do wonder in here, a bit provocatively, if he is the next Kagame in Africa? https://t.co/uFnrSzYJPH
