All the bluster about the US removing the nuclear "dust" (SIC) is just bull . Iran has Trump by his economic balls and isn't about to let go.
Best case is probably putting it off a few years.

"It's a very strong deal. Nobody knows what it is, but it's very strong."
Do you still think Israel is calling the shots, Ball Buster?

Trump indirectly acknowledges the energy cliff and also that he is the dumb mf who precipitated the closing of Hormuz, damaging the world economy
The alternative to this deal was a global recession. There are stupid people who want to see a global recession. They are just stupid people. The Strait of Hormuz would never have been opened.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...nry-rcna350419Trump quietly invoked the Defense Production Act last week to address rising concerns within his administration about the shortfall of munitions, according to a memo filed in the Federal Register on Tuesday.
“I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs,” Trump wrote in a June 11 memo to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Production constraints and supply chain concerns “may impair the ability of the United States to produce, sustain, and expand the availability of munitions, missiles, and equipment required for the national defense,” he wrote.
Huh I wonder who will reap the benefits of the weapons contracts. Surely it'll all be on the up and up, absolutely no conflict of interest whatsoever.

snap take, I don't have confidence either side can keep this agreement
HEY, IF IRAN PROMISES TO NOT MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS WITH THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAM THEN I BELIEVE THEM.
in god we trust, the US pays cash
Trump is already talking -- truthfully enough and without irony -- about "giving Iran its money back"
it's not the same crew that surrendered to the Taliban in 2020
(same commander-in-chief, though)
of all the US surrender monkeys, Trump is possibly most apt of all to surrender to the inferior power
first Afghanistan, now Iran
why do people take advice from a man who won't take his own advice?
does not project strength, but even-handedness
an odd pivot for Trump
I'm saying that if other countries have [ballistic missiles], it's a little unfair for [Iran] not to have some
*kicks sand* in Saudi Arabia's face
