What was said

"Trump set himself up to fail. He negotiated this MOU, and when he did that, I immediately wrote an article saying that this was a pause to the war. It's not peace. And the reasons were obvious, that for Trump really to make this a peace deal He'd have to discard not only his own policy, but decades of U.S. policy towards Iran, recognizing its sovereignty, letting it have an economy, giving it a chance, and lifting all these crippling sanctions."

Intelligence analyst Aaron argues that Trump's Memorandum of Understanding with Iran was designed to fail from the start because it requires abandoning decades of US policy without Iran giving up support for regional resistance groups. He points out that Trump signed contradictory deals, including one in Lebanon that excludes Hezbollah despite the MOU calling for cessation of hostilities in Lebanon. Aaron predicts the most likely outcome is Trump simply walking away rather than achieving either full war or genuine peace.
