So, Is There A Peace Deal?

An Iranian official has spoken to Reuters regarding the potential interim deal with the US, indicating some of what has been agreed to, including:

-Fully opening the Strait of Hormuz immediately

-U.S. to lift naval blockade within 30 days

-No new sanctions imposed while negotiations continue

-The U.S. will suspend current sanctions, allowing Iranian oil to be openly sold

-$25 billion in Iranian assets to be unfrozen, including direct cash transfers

-Formation of an economic development and reconstruction plan

-Iran agrees it will neither produce nor acquire nuclear weapons

-Fate of the nuclear program, including stockpile of highly enriched uranium, to be negotiated and finalized within 60 days

-Full sanctions relief following a final agreement in 60 days
JCPOA cash transfer was $1.7 billion, based on $400 million paid by the Shah for military equipment that was never delivered because of the 1979 revolution. The difference was accumulated interest over the decades. Compound interest and capitalism, comrades. Yesterday: "Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands.” Wait, are we exchanging hands for money?

Day before yesterday:
According to CNN, citing a U.S. official, new details have emerged about the U.S.-Iran MOU, following Iran’s release of their version of the deal and U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s comments refuting their claims.

Per the U.S. official, the deal includes an Iranian commitment not to fund terror groups abroad, the destruction and removal of enriched material, the dismantling of Iran’s wider nuclear program, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the release of frozen Iranian assets and funds, contingent on their compliance with the deal.
Which is it?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he authorized the Israeli Defense Forces to strike a suspected terrorist target in the Dahleh quarter of Beirut, Lebanon, "in response to continued Hezbollah attacks on Israel." " The strike was carried out within the last few hours.
Or nah? 🫠
Obama: "It's a reminder that on a lot of different foreign policy problems, the notion we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solution may sometimes seem appealing ... You'd think we would've learned that lesson by now, but it seems like every so often we have to learn that lesson again."
