Trump announces Iran deal as critics from both parties call it surrender

According to media records, President Donald Trump had assured America 39 times that he was about to reach a peace agreement with Iran. Networks were broadcasting montages of these similar reassurances.

But it still never seemed to happen.

Meanwhile, Trump would threaten to hit Iran VERY HARD, threatening to “bomb them” as he told Fox, only to back off at the last minute.

Bomb attacks were launched against mullahs who bombed US targets in the region and shot down an Army helicopter, in a cycle of blame and retaliation that reduced the ceasefire to false advertising. Things were looking bad in the last few days when Trump called the Iranians “dishonorable” and said they had leaked a draft deal that bore no resemblance to what the two sides were actually discussing.

WHY TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT IRAN: A PRESIDENT WHO SEES THE WORLD AS HE WANTS IT TO BE

Was the President falling into the same trap?

He was there this weekend and was saying that the long-awaited peace agreement would be signed the next day, Sunday. Then, like clockwork, Iran destroyed the agreement, saying there was no agreement. For much of yesterday, Trump repeated that a deal was “very close.”

However, in another incident last night with the intervention of Qatar, Trump said: “The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations everyone!”

Doesn’t TRUMP care about midterms? WHY IS HE MISSING THE MARK?

Iran said the deal was a “historic victory” for its side.

I don’t mean to disparage the president’s parade, but some analysts see it as an extension of the ceasefire that was in place all along, with Tehran opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for Trump lifting the US blockade. No text has been released, so we’re flying blind here.

However late it was, Trump was able to celebrate his 80th birthday yesterday with a step towards exiting the war, which is becoming increasingly unpopular at home, especially for a leader who promised “no more wars” in his campaign.

Remember, this is the same dictatorship that took 52 Americans hostage during the Carter administration and held them for over a year. Iran also funds terrorist operations around the world, including Hamas and Hezbollah.

Another incident was Trump’s anger at Israel for attacking Lebanon, which infuriated the Iranians. And the president made sure people knew that.

According to Axios, Trump called Bibi Netanyahu a “fuck” and accused him of being ungrateful.

Critics were already targeting the deal before last night’s development.

“This is essentially a document of surrender,” Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton said on MSNOW. Moulton, a former Marine who fought in Iraq, said the reported regulation “re-opened a strait that was already open before we started this stupid war.”

Senate Republicans are also speaking out.

Ted Cruz said he was “deeply concerned” and that it would be a “catastrophic mistake.”

“That doesn’t make much sense to me,” Thom Tillis said.

Roger Wicker: “Everything achieved by Epic Operation Rage will be in vain!”

Trump’s golf buddy Hawkish Lindsey Graham said the US would recognize Iran as a powerful power that would create “a nightmare for Israel”.

There is also internal opposition in Iran, including street protests. According to the New York Times, a conservative member of Parliament called for the dismissal of the top diplomat, while another said “Iran will become America’s colony.”

What we do know is the President’s explanation of what appears to be an extremely vague “concept” of the agreement. And it would take 60 days to reach an agreement that the terrorist state would not develop nuclear weapons, which would be meaningless without strict external controls. But that was the point all along; The logic of Trump starting the war.

While the details are still under wraps, Trump had to settle for a different battle last night: hosting an Ultimate Fighting Championship match on the South Lawn.

Not since Henry Kissinger’s pre-election declaration in 1972 that “peace is at hand” bought Richard Nixon time before South Vietnam collapsed and the Communists took over.

George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” landing on an aircraft carrier after supposedly defeating Iraq may have been a close second.

Defending his boss, J.D. Vance said: “That’s ultimately how wars are resolved. If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end in some form of negotiation.”

Brief history lesson: World War II ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan.

Look, it would be a great thing for America and the world if the final steps lead to a reasonable and workable agreement. While some may see this as a return to the status quo prior to the attacks on Iran, even those who oppose the President most will have to give him credit.

And if that’s going to help Trump and the Republicans get into the midterm elections, that’s politics.

The president was right when he said the other day that Americans had “no appetite” for more war. And the truth is, so is he.
