Details of the 14-point agreement revealed as senior US officials claim ‘major win’ despite significant concessions to Tehran

Donald Trump has signed a 14-point agreement with Iran, claiming it delivered a “major win” for the United States – even as it made significant political and financial concessions to Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz and prevent a “worldwide depression”.

In extraordinary remarks on Wednesday, Donald Trump went from threatening Iran with a new wave of attacks to suggesting the country had basic rights to enrich uranium for civilian use, that he would not pressure Tehran to abandon its ballistic missiles programme and the US was “going to have to give back” billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets.

Those remarks, as well as the full text of the agreement – which was hailed by the Hezbollah chief, Naim Qassem, as a “great victory” – are likely to fuel anger in Israel and among hardliners in the Republican party who had urged Trump not to make a deal with Tehran.

    deal avoids world wide depression

    A fucking depression that YOU started you fat orange fuck

    I’m not an American and in principle I don’t give many fucks about what idiots in other countries vote for to be their next leader but the US is a fucked up place with world wide reaching tentacles and whatever they do always ends up with consequences for the entire fucking world

    Can you PLEASE already get rid of trump?

      Been trying. Fucker keeps cheating at elections. Over the last 30 years, our government has slowly been purchased by private interests to the point where we can only investigate made up claims of election interference instead of actually real and viable ones. It’s maddening, as our system no longer works, and there’s literally no uncorrupted mechanism by which we can fix it.

      As bad as the US is making the rest of the world, I assure you it’s worse inside the states. And getting worse by the month.

      The problem is very much a self correcting one though, as Orangalf Shitler is in incredibly poor health. To the point where he hasn’t golfed since May. And the bloated sun baked bigmac usually spends every weekend golfing.

      This bullshit dies with him, as the propaganda machine tied itself to his personality instead of manufacturing consent. Without his personality, even MAGA cultists will no longer consent to billionaires turning us all into well monitored and domesticated capital, milked daily for the oligarchs.

    Listening to him pat himself on the back for solving a problem he fucking created, is absolutely infuriating.

      Not to mention: I’m guessing part of the motive here is that someone finally dumbed down the concept of “the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is going to be GONE in mid-July” enough for him to somewhat understand it

      But also, given how complex and convoluted international supply chains are, and how many products and goods are impacted directly and indirectly by petroleum supply shocks, I rather doubt we’re fully dodging the economic bullet that’s coming in the next few months.

      And he never even achieved the goal he supposedly created the problem for, which is Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities.

    Peace plan? Is that what mainstream media is trying to spin it? More like a 'I-Fucked-Up-And-I-Chickened-Out

      Don’t you dare say one year. We’re getting closer to the halfway point of his shitty regime and don’t want to feel any further away than we currently are.

    Was it the Swedes who said something to the effect of “We aren’t going to reward someone who brings a bucket to extinguish the fire they started.”

      Don’t shame the man for jacking himself off. Encourage it, and exploration! He could really learn a few things from David Carradine
