In a colossal surrender,Trump’s MOU(memo of understanding, or concept of a plan) gives Iran everything it wants and leaves the US worse off than Obama’s 2016 settlement with Iran. The loss cost the US $100 billion in military expenses, the death of 13 service members, and damaged the US economy with renewed inflation in gasoline and groceries. The 14-paragraph agreement outlines the depths of America’s collapse and the successes for Iran:Iran keeps its nuclear facilities and material. Military operations stop. Removal of the US naval blockade. Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran gets $300 billion for reconstruction and economic development. Sanctions against Iran are dropped. Iran can restart selling oil. Iran gets access to their frozen funds — $24 billion or more. And the US gets bupkis, nada, nothing. Trump said the war was all about Iran’s nuclear program, but it remains untouched. The US retreat comes after Trump said his February 28 attack and the entire Iran war were about one thing—using force to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Trump’s defeat ranks with Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, Custer’s last stand, the fall of Saigon, the Iran hostage rescue, and the 2021 Taliban takeover of Kabul.
