Details of the 14-point agreement revealed as senior US officials claim ‘major win’ despite significant concessions to Tehran

Donald Trump has signed a 14-point agreement with Iran, claiming it delivered a “major win” for the United States – even as it made significant political and financial concessions to Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz and prevent a “worldwide depression”.

In extraordinary remarks on Wednesday, Donald Trump went from threatening Iran with a new wave of attacks to suggesting the country had basic rights to enrich uranium for civilian use, that he would not pressure Tehran to abandon its ballistic missiles programme and the US was “going to have to give back” billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets.

Those remarks, as well as the full text of the agreement – which was hailed by the Hezbollah chief, Naim Qassem, as a “great victory” – are likely to fuel anger in Israel and among hardliners in the Republican party who had urged Trump not to make a deal with Tehran.

    Been trying. Fucker keeps cheating at elections. Over the last 30 years, our government has slowly been purchased by private interests to the point where we can only investigate made up claims of election interference instead of actually real and viable ones. It’s maddening, as our system no longer works, and there’s literally no uncorrupted mechanism by which we can fix it.

    As bad as the US is making the rest of the world, I assure you it’s worse inside the states. And getting worse by the month.

    The problem is very much a self correcting one though, as Orangalf Shitler is in incredibly poor health. To the point where he hasn’t golfed since May. And the bloated sun baked bigmac usually spends every weekend golfing.

    This bullshit dies with him, as the propaganda machine tied itself to his personality instead of manufacturing consent. Without his personality, even MAGA cultists will no longer consent to billionaires turning us all into well monitored and domesticated capital, milked daily for the oligarchs.
