While the United States isn't providing direct financial support to Iran as part of the $300 billion "reconstruction and economic development" package, why would the "regional partners" have any interest in providing any support to a regime that only a couple of short weeks ago was lobbing ballistic missiles at the energy infrastructure - the lifeblood - of those regional partners?

The MOU reads like Witkoff and Kushner typed up whatever Iranian negotiators demanded and subsequently begged Iran to sign and I'm sure they were none too happy to oblige.

Because when you aren’t retarded, you can clearly see that becoming business partners unites the region.

The incentive is there for Iran to become normal. If they don’t, we blow them up again.

It’s pretty easy to understand. Don’t know why the tards on this board insist on spewing the MSM talking points.

That is what I am hoping for. If Iran gets $300 billion plus private investment from the US and allies then its a win.

A lof of ifs in that scenario though

You are not dealing with a normal government. They kill protestors routinely and say they committed suicide.

Only if you are gay do you look at it like that.

They are being given the opportunity to be normal. I mentioned it several times. If they don’t, they pay the price.

And you will cry either way so just shut the frick up already.

If blowing them up worked, we wouldn't be bending over backwards to get them to open up the Straight of Hormuz

It is simple for anyone with an IQ above 50 that Trump wanted it over and could not just give 300 billion dollars. SO, the genius in chief knows his base worship him and will never call him out so he just had allies do it. It is still us, just a shell game.

We are as weak as we were during Biden term which I thought would be impossible.

Cry?

Why would I cry when I was proven 100% right about this whole situation?

I'm gloating, not crying.

SFP was right, about everything.

Because sanctions were in place that prevented countries from being "business partners" with Iran, and instead of just removing the sanctions, we went to war, ended up in a stalemate, and then....removed the sanctions we could have without the war.

To prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. As President Trump has repeated for decades.

The defeated parties pay war reparations, that is what is happening.

Yet now the enriched uranium isn’t even worth trying to get since Trump says it was never really important anyway.

Think about post WW1 Germany, we saddled then with crazy debt and eventually got Hitler because of it.

Carrot and stick approach. They've had a five-course taste of stick, now let's try the carrot while the stick is very much ingrained.

This is the wise way. Could we take their island? How much American blood would be spilled? Could we blow it to Hell? Yep! But then oil prices go to the stratosphere. We do not need another country to rebuild. We need pressure from our business partners in that part of the world, with the backing of our massive military might.
