Trump’s Iran Deal, Oil Drops Hard, New Epstein Report | PBD #818
"Big loser here, unfortunately, will be the Iranian people. Whatever way you cut it, they will not be free. We'll see what ends up happening in the deal. There's a lot of people complaining. I'm grateful, no matter what, that Trump is the president and nobody else."
The Iran nuclear deal signed on Trump's 80th birthday includes up to $300 billion in reconstruction financing, primarily controlled by the IRGC, not the Iranian people. The memorandum of understanding freezes uranium enrichment and reopens the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. Critics including Iranian dissidents express fury that the deal leaves the hardline regime in power rather than pursuing regime change, contradicting earlier Trump promises. The deal represents a controversial choice prioritizing America First over Iranian democracy.
