There Is Not One Good Clause in The US-Iran Deal. Not One.

efore we dive into the details of this catastrophe, we need to stop and look at the single most important element of Trump's deal with Iran and it isn't the uranium. It's the Strait of Hormuz. Because what has just happened is that through Donald Trump, who now serves as Iran's useful idiot, Tehran has demonstrated to the entire world that it possesses a weapon far larger than anyone imagined. Iran itself may not have fully grasped how much value the world places on that narrow strip of water called Hormuz.

The Hormuz threat has turned out to be the ultimate weapon, perhaps even greater than a ready-to-use atomic bomb. Here is why: a country that drops a nuclear device on its neighbor knows that within hours, the same will happen to it, particularly if that neighbor is Israel. But Hormuz? Hormuz was already closed. And the sun kept rising. Even Trump, the great bully of the Middle East, tucked his tail and folded.

With this surrender agreement, Trump has cemented in Iranian minds that the Strait of Hormuz is an unbeatable card, one with which Tehran can bend the entire world to its will at any moment. Uranium enrichment? An Iranian-made nuclear bomb? "Give us what we want, or we close the strait and you deal with fuel prices and angry citizens." Instead of proving to Iran that Hormuz is a paper tiger, Trump has effectively handed Tehran a permanent choke-hold over the Western world.

The uranium: a verbal promise from a regime whose 'good morning' cannot be trusted

For anyone looking for comic relief this morning, the Axios report delivered it in one sentence: Iran gave the United States, through mediators, "verbal commitments" regarding the scope of concessions it is willing to make on suspending enrichment and surrendering its nuclear material. Verbal commitments. From the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Iran has refused until now to hand over its enriched uranium to a third country, and even now it is unclear whether these "commitments" involve a transfer to a third country or merely diluting the stockpile. Even if we accept the New York Times report at face value, that Iran agreed to transfer its half-ton stockpile, this remains a verbal promise only. If you cannot believe the regime's "good morning," how on earth do you believe a verbal commitment on nuclear stockpiles? This is pure delusion.

Trump is signing a peace deal while Iran still holds its uranium, meaning Tehran enters final negotiations from a position of maximum strength.

Trump is signing while the uranium stays in Iranian hands. That means Iran enters any future negotiation on the nuclear file holding its strongest card. Supporters of the deal will say American forces remain in the region, but Trump himself has proven repeatedly that America's vast military capabilities mean nothing when his midnight threats evaporate by morning, every single time.

The money: Iran gets more than it had before the war

During the 60-day period, Iran will be permitted to sell oil again, with official American authorization. Not only will the war's damage be undone, Iran will receive something it didn't even have before the war began. And then the U.S. will sit down with Iran to discuss removing sanctions already in place. The meaning is clear: billions of fresh dollars will flow monthly into the terror regime, directed straight into the killing machine it operates across the Middle East.

The Iranian oil that until now was blacklisted and forced to sell at discounted prices through Iran's shadow fleet, that oil will now be sold openly, to the highest bidder, at full market price. There is no question: if this deal is signed, oil prices will drop dramatically, American consumers will feel relief at the pump, and Trump's poll numbers will improve ahead of the midterms. That is what this is really about.

Hezbollah: Israel's hands, officially tied

Iran's ballistic missile capabilities are not included in the deal. Iran's proxy network across the Middle East will receive a massive financial injection. And Hezbollah, Israel's most immediate and dangerous border threat, will be formally written into the agreement's ceasefire clauses, in a move that is expected to legally constrain Israel's ability to act against it. Israel will be unable to neutralize the greatest threat on its borders because of one man: Donald Trump, who agreed to merge the fronts at Iran's request.

Iran's answer: 'Trump is fabricating this'

To understand just how bad this deal is, read what Iran's own media published hours before the expected signing: "Trump is fabricating things. We never agreed to hand over our nuclear stockpile." A finger in the eye, and a humiliation fitting for a weak leader, delivered hours before he is set to sign.

Is there still a chance this is strategic deception? It is very hard to believe. Trump made his willingness to engage contingent on pressure from the Gulf states, to whom he owes enormously. A U.S. president does not run a bluff at the expense of the wealthy Gulf monarchies. In the end, what matters is money. A lot of it.

If this deal is signed, all that remains is to hope that Israel's prime minister will find the resolve to act without American backing, a scenario that itself seems unlikely while the neighborhood bully still sits in the Oval Office. And if this deal is signed, we will be waiting, with grim anticipation, for November, for the crushing midterm defeat of the worst president in Republican Party history, and for the two-thirds Senate majority that could finally make impeachment more than a fantasy.
