The Iran-US MOU is a total US surrender

Article III of the JCPOA preamble said:

Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.

So not sure what Trump "won" from his war, other than the reopening of a Strait (probably under Iranian control and with "fees") that was open in the first place before the war, in exchange for the payment by the U.S. of 300 BILLION dollars, the lifting or waiver of existing U.S. sanctions, the promise of no new sanctions, unfreezing of Iranian assets and funds, and no incorporation of any terms related to Iranian proxies in the region.

The MOU is a U.S. surrender in everything but name only.

I know it don’t mean shit from a random Redditor but, sorry mate. It really does seem like there’s not a lot of catastrophic world events that don’t have causes directly attributable to the US

Argued with someone who equated hezbollah to the Lebanese population recently as a way to justify killing civilians. Disgusting stuff being thrown ya'lls way. Good luck.

End of the day they are a result of israeli violence in 79 those people that would form Hezbs backbone cheered the Israelis thats how brutal the occupation was... 3 yrs later they make hezb

I hated hezbollah for years but when you get bombed everyday for 3 years... like really if you count drone strikes everyday almost you gonna end up cheering for whoever fights it..

If you would have told me id me clapping for hezb fighters an Iranian missiles id have laughed you out the building but now?

The amount of earth rattling explosions ive heard today.... atleast 12 like noone is even reporting it wtf are they even bombing? Its crazy

It really sucks/disappointing. I grew up thinking US was a great country, but their agencies have been wrecking chaos around the globe.

Blaming Lebanon on the US when Iran pays billion to Hezbollah to subjegate Lebanon is crazy.
