The MOU is a trap waiting for Iran to step into.

‘The only thing the U.S. has to show in return is "Unconditional Surrender."

Source: Jihad Watch

"When Trump said that he would only accept unconditional surrender from the Islamic Republic of Iran, nobody thought that he meant that the U.S. would surrender unconditionally to Iran. But that is what his “deal” amounts to. And it all comes from poor planning on the part of his slapdash administration. He had four years to prepare for this moment, but apparently he squandered it."

Everyone knows that you cannot negotiate with the iranian islamic regime . Shades of the River War in Sudan . Israel will not let this negotiation interfere with cleaning out Lebanon - it cannot .

Hopefully, the Iranians will get cocky , allowing the Americans/ Israelis to go in a few more times to finish them off .

Thank you for this precise and comprehensive analysis. I've been saying since Trump's first term that (a) he doesn't understand Islam, and (b) Witkoff doesn't understand it either and has always been a terrible advisor to Trump. Isn't there any way to get someone who does understand Islam through to Trump? -- some way of reinserting all those materials about Islam and jihad that the Obama administration removed back into the training materials of the military and intelligence agencies?

Phoebe,

the one thing more important than the koran to the jihadis is their bank accounts. Scott Bessent is tracking the money funding them, and also tracking the theocracymullahs and the thugs of IRCG bank accounts.

This threat to their money is more powerful than a kinetic war

The financial blockade, the freezing of their bank accounts, their crypto, being perpetrated bt trump/ bessent has gone unnoticed by the press of course

Patience.
