I know one thing Trump achieved which he didn't mean to. As a result of Trump's war, countries all over the world are ramping up their efforts to move away from fossil fuels over to renewable energy. They simply cant have their economies held to ransom every time there is a flair up in the Middle East or Iran doesn't get what it wants. China, for example, has already dropped its oil imports by around 5 million barrels a day since before the war

So ironically, Trump has (unintentionally) done more for Green Energy than perhaps any other President in US history !!!

I wish people would stop saying this. Trump likes people praise him for being the best getting the best deals done, don't make him feel he did not do something bigger and better than Obama's JCPOA. He's already under major pressure form Israel and the zionist and PAC's in the US not to make a deal with Iran. Which means more war, give the man a break and not pile on the pressure to restart the bombing. Humans and humans no matter who , why kill people.

If you don;t like what he has negotiated at least STFU s\o he does not get tempted to restart the war.

Thank god the fighting has stopped and no one is being killed, this will be one of the biggest achievements for president Trump if a peace agreement is signed. Now he will deserve the Nobel peace prize for ending this war.

Your joking right ??? He started this war

All that's happened is Trump has had to give Iran billions in sanctions relief and seized assets just to get them to open up the straits again, which were already open before he started this whole thing. Everything else has been kicked down the road. But now Trump is going to have to negotiate with an Iran that knows it can close the straits again at any time. They also know that Trump is unlikely to want to restart the war after these 60 days negotiations are up. Trump wont want to spike the oil price again 2 months before the mid-terms.

This is a major strategic loss for Trump.

That is the official text of the MOU reported by CNN.com

WOW. That's got to be the WORST foreign policy blunder in history !!!

So just to sum it up, having bombed the crap out of them, Trump is now giving Iran $300 billion for re-construction. He is also unfreezing all Iranian assets (estimated to be around $100 - $120 billion) and he is dropping ALL sanctions against them. And the negotiations haven't even started yet !!!

And what is he getting in return ?? Iran will re-open the straits (which were already open before the war) and they promise not to make a nuclear weapon (something they have been saying for decades)

This was NEVER about nuclear weapons. Trump's own DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, told congress a year ago that "there was no evidence that Iran was attempting to make a nuclear weapon". So why did he do it ??? I think he saw how quick and easy it was in Venezuela and he thought he could do the same in Iran and it would be the perfect distraction from the Epstein files

You summed it up right

Trouble with the peace talks has started.

" Talks under pressure: Vice President JD Vance is no longer traveling to Switzerland for US-Iran negotiations today, with talks postponed. Iran has asked for guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon will end before it resumes the talks, a diplomat told CNN.

• Deadly attacks in Lebanon: Israel and Hezbollah have are again trading attacks despite the US-Iran agreement declaring an end to their conflict. Four Israeli soldiers were killed overnight in one of the deadliest incidents for their military since the war began. Israeli strikes later killed at least 18 people in southern Lebanon. "

This thing will never end at this rate. Trump has to call up Netanyahu tell him stop the bombing in Lebanon and let me get this wear ended.

"Strait closure: Iran says it is closing the vital Strait of Hormuz in response to what it described as Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon and a failure by the US to implement the first clause of a tentative agreement to end the war."

Looks like Netanyahu doesn't want this war to end because, if it does, there's a good chance he will end up in prison as a war criminal
