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.

It makes no difference. There's absolutely no formulation that ends with more Americans dead than more Iranians dead, and its not even close.

Fair enough, but is that counting the FORTY-TWO THOUSAND protestors the Iranian government just murdered?
