بله به نظرم این جمعیت‌ها واقعی هستند چون جمهوری اسلامی بالاخره حدود ۱۰-۱۲ درصدی همیشه حامی معتقد داشته. در افتضاح‌ترین دوره‌های انتخابات هم همیشه ۷تا ۱۰ میلیون از کل ایران پای کار بودند. اصل داستان هم همین است:یک اقلیت کوچک که سرنوشت اکثریتی بزرگ را گروگان گرفته.

@jaketapper My take on this MOU: https://t.co/Kri6Dg5re1

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

Yeah, that’s true. But it was essentially the same situation under the JCPOA. The funds released were Iran’s own frozen assets—not U.S. taxpayer money—yet the current administration repeatedly criticized the Obama administration for it.

My analysis: https://t.co/Kri6Dg5re1

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

They never get a dime of American taxpayer money. Ever. Full stop. Not even close. @VP

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

The reported U.S.–#Iran #MOU contains major loopholes: #Israel is never explicitly mentioned, sanctions relief is front-loaded, nuclear commitments remain vague… Ambiguity is not a drafting flaw—it is the agreement’s greatest vulnerability.

My analysis: https://t.co/Kri6Dg5re1

[Al Arabiya English @AlArabiya_Eng]

🔴 Al Arabiya English has obtained a copy of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. The document includes the following key points:

🔴 Iran and the US, together with their allies in the current war, declare upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and undertake that from now on they will not launch any hostile action against each other, and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other

🔴 Iran and the US undertake to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from interfering in each other’s internal affairs

🔴 Iran and the US undertake to negotiate and reach a final agreement within a maximum period of 60 days, extendable by mutual consent

🔴 Immediately upon the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, the United States will lift the naval blockade and prevent any interference or obstruction against Iran, and restore traffic within a maximum of 30 days to its full capacity; the traffic of ships shall be proportional to the pre-war volume of traffic on Iran’s part

🔴 The US also undertakes to withdraw its forces from the surrounding areas within 30 days after the final agreement

🔴 Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, Iran will immediately take steps to ensure that the movement of merchant ships from the Arabian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume, taking into account the need for the removal of technical obstacles and the neutralization of mines by Iran

🔴 The US undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion

🔴 The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days

🔴 The United States commits to ending, on a schedule to be agreed upon as part of the final agreement, all types of sanctions currently facing Iran, including resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and all unilateral US sanctions, both primary and secondary

🔴 Iran reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons

🔴 Iran and the US have agreed that the fate of enriched material and the fate of all other mutually agreed nuclear-related issues, including Iran’s nuclear needs, will be adequately addressed in a final agreement

🔴 Iran and the US agree that, pending a final agreement, they will maintain the status quo: Iran will maintain the status quo on its nuclear program, and the US will not impose new sanctions on Iran or strengthen its forces in the region

🔴 The US undertakes that immediately after the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and until the date of the lifting of sanctions, the US Treasury Department will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and their derivatives, and all related services, including banking, insurance, transportation, and the like

🔴 The US undertakes that, in light of the progress of negotiations towards a final agreement, frozen or restricted funds and assets of Iran will be released and made fully available

🔴 These funds, whether held in the master account or transferred, will be used for any final beneficiary payment determined by the Central Bank of Iran and will be fully available for use. The US undertakes to issue all necessary permits and licenses on this basis

🔴 Iran and the US agree that an implementation mechanism will be established to oversee the successful implementation of and future commitment to the Final Agreement

🔴 Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and upon receipt of assurances regarding the commencement of implementation of Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 of this Memorandum of Understanding, and the continued implementation of these steps, Iran and the US will enter into negotiations for a Final Agreement solely with respect to the remaining Articles

🔴 The final agreement will be approved through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

So what? During the JCPOA negotiations, the Iranian regime also claimed that Ali Khamenei had issued a fatwa declaring nuclear weapons forbidden. Including a sentence like this in a #MOU carries no special significance. It doesn’t provide any meaningful guarantee or commitment.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!" - President Donald J. Trump

@marklevinshow https://t.co/XYeucnTDcf

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

This is another mistake. Ali Khamenei operated the same way—he would never put his signature on anything, even when it was entirely under his authority and responsibility. That allowed him to evade accountability while always positioning himself as the aggrieved party.

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

Any agreement whose Iranian side is not formally signed by the supreme leader himself has no real guarantee of implementation. Tomorrow, it can easily be denied, disowned, or ignored.

Trump and Vance both electronically signed the MOU with Iran. @mb_ghalibaf signed from the Iranian side, U.S. official said

This is what Iranian regime claims. If it’s true, then #JCPOA was the gold deal!! #Irán

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

He really thinks that Bibi is his employee!?

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

🚨President Trump told me: "Why did Bibi have to do a fucking attack? I was so pissee off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that"

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

I’ll say it again: Any agreement with a regime that thinks ideologically and sees the other side as the “killer of its leader and sacred symbols” is nothing more than an illusion.

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

There’s a Persian proverb: “A big stone is a sign that it won’t be thrown.”
Whenever President #Trump starts talking about some huge move or dramatic action, I tend to read it as a bluff. So far, that pattern seems to hold.
@POTUS

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.

[Roozbeh Mirebrahimi @mirebrahimi]

Looks like #Israel is the 51st state of the United States!?

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

🚨🚨More quotes from my phone call with president Trump: “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3000 years"
🚨🚨Trump added: "We are very close to a final deal with Iran. It is going to be a good deal. I don’t want it to blow up because of what is happening now"
🚨🚨Trump stressed: "I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one"
