In reply to the discussion: Full Text of the 14 point agreement with Iran [View all]SamuelAdams
(307 posts)40. To summarize:
Iran gets at least $300 billion, sanctions relief, all their money released for any purpose include funding terrorism, the blockade lifted. That all happens as soon as the MOU is signed. We get vague promises to negotiate over their nuclear program and opening the Strait of Hormuz in the future. The negotiating deadline is extendable indefinitely. So Iran never has to give up their nuclear material or program or stop funding Hamas and Hezbollah but still get money, sanctions relief, can sell their oil, fund terrorism, etc. immediately. In real estate terms, that would be like buying a house in cash with a vague deal to be able to move in sometime in the future. But you already fully paid today.

IANAL but I read a lot of contracts. This feels like the first draft was written by the Iranians.

Why always 14 points and will the Senate reject them as they did for Woodrow Wilson?

Trump met none of his prewar objectives, and he is providing enormous financial concessions to Tehran.

I guarantee that Iran isn't going to allow ships to pass through Hormuz without its permission.

You remember Trump's demand for unconditional surrender? Sure looks like conditions apply.
