I mean on almost every issue, what Iran is saying is different than what Krasnov is saying.
The strait of Hormuz will not be immediately reopened to pre-war travel. Ships passing through Hormuz must get permission from Iran to get safe passage.
The nuclear issue, according to Iran will be negotiated at a later date.
Unfreezing Iran's money must be done immediately according to Iran, according to Krasnov is will only be conditionally released.
Iran wants the war in Lebanon to cease, but Krasnov claims that is up to Israel.
The US must end its blockade immediately before Iran starts opening up Hormuz, but Krasnov says the blockade will only be removed after Iran allows ships to pass.
Go down the list, issue by issue and there is disagreement on every issue.
This so-called agreement got the price of crude to drop. Who shorted the market?

(10,478 posts)Trump will now give Iran $370 billion - that's 218 times as much money as was in the Obama deal. So I'm sure Republicans will now be 218 times as outraged about this deal as they were Obama's, right? right?

(197,260 posts)The pallets of foreign currency will not go over well IF we get a look at them. MAGA heads couldnt handle it IF they even remember.
Iran is cut off from the world banking system and cant hold any US currency.

And Trump knows it.
And so does Iran.

(24,164 posts)Theres already a ceasefire in place- has the US base in Bahrain been attacked?
No, I expect if the US removes the blockade, and doesnt launch any further attacks on Iran, then Iran will hold their fire as well. Why wouldnt they? They are going to end up with more than they had before the war, minus a few leaders and schoolgirls, but plus several hundred billion dollars and with about the same amount of uranium as before.
Now, Israel and Lebanon are another matter entirely

Its obvious to the rest of the world that the US has nothing to do with any eventual agreement. Trumps trying to get out in front of the news so he can claim to be instrumental in the development. Even though all hes been is an obstruction.

(9,233 posts)I don't see it going down until we have an actual agreement. Even then, the oil pipeline is just about empty, so it's going to take a while for things to get better.
I'm sure the "plan" is for prices to drop below $4.00 by mid-summer, and $3.50 by the fall election.
The media will praise Trump's negotiation skills, when all he will have done is bring things back to where they were before he attacked Iran, except for a badly damaged economy.
And, of course, our military will be out $50 billion or more, farmers will get crushed for both fuel and fertilizer right during the growing season, the cost of goods will have soared, and we'll get the bill for all this stupidity.
But the good news for republicans is that the MAGATS will have forgotten all about it by election time...at least that's the plan.
