So I guess that's like part of a concept of a plan.

(1,976 posts)Donald Trump announced Saturday that a major peace agreement with Iran is near finalization, following a high-level conference call from the Oval Office with key regional leaders.
Writing on Truth Social, the U.S. president stated that a Memorandum of Understanding has been largely negotiated, subject to final details being settled between the U.S., the Islamic Republic of Iran, and a broad coalition of Middle Eastern and South Asian nations.
The breakthrough comes after a series of calls involving the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Turkey and Pakistan's military chief.

Details were scarce, including how the framework would address the future of Irans nuclear program.
An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed, Trump said in a social media post, citing Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E. and Jordan, among others. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well.
Trump added that final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. He said that among many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, but he did not elaborate on whether it included Irans enriched uranium.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei suggested earlier Saturday on state media that the framework agreementwould give Tehran between 30 to 60 days to resolve sticking points over its stockpile. GOP critics, including Trumps former CIA director and secretary of state from his first administration, blasted the apparent agreement for not achieving Trumps main stated goal for going to war: to put a permanent end to Irans nuclear program.

.....Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a key Trump congressional ally, warned against agreeing to a deal that could wind up giving Iran the appearance of dominance.
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution, Graham said in a social media post Saturday.
It sounds like trump is caving to Iran due to the gas price issues and worries about midterms. Even if a deal is struck this week, gas prices will not go down until close to or after midterms

-compensate Tehran by releasing blocked funds (at least $6 billion)
-lift sanctions
-remove American forces from around Iran (Iranian sources more specifically mention the naval assets in the region)
-lift the blockade
-ceasefire in all fronts including in Lebanon (basically allowing Tehran to rearm its proxy network and help Hizballah reasserts its control in Lebanon)
In exchange for
-gradual reopening of Strait of Hormuz with the transit remaining under Tehrans management and control
-negotiations over other issues with no hard deadline (the 30-day negotiation window can be extended)
Washington has not denied any of these claims.
This is a total surrender, pretty symbolic if it is announced on Memorial Day.

Surely Iran has already figured this out and is preparing. Twice bitten....

Trust neither side. Wait until the United Nations says something, or perhaps the EU.

(11,197 posts)1) Iran gets reparations.
2) Iran's nuclear program continues.
3) Iran gets authority over the Strait of Hormuz and gets to charge a fee to any ship passing through.
4) Iran gives Trump some sort of made-up trophy for "Greatest Peacemaker."

(3,101 posts)Translation. Nobody has agreed to anything, but there will be lots of money made in the market on Monday.
Trump's spawn are making so much money off this insider trading that they never want this thing to end.
