And it doesn\u2019t look good for America or for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Lebanon is reportedly part of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Three hundred billion dollars to Iran is reportedly part of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>A 60-day delay to striking a final peace deal is reportedly part of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>And the fact the details of the deal haven\u2019t been released in print to the public is worrisome in itself. If it\u2019s such a great deal, why not let the public see \u2014 and applaud?<\/p>\n<p>Everything at this point is a guess, followed by a White House rebuttal, followed by more whispers and guesses, followed by more administration clarifications and even criticisms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Delicate diplomatic things\u2019 blocking immediate release of Iran MOU,\u201d Vice President J.D. Vance said on \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Then why announce a deal at all?<\/p>\n<p>Because on Sunday, just a few days ago, Trump wrote this on social media: \u201cThe Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then on Monday, a day after seeming to announce the end of the war, Trump said this from France: \u201cThe deal\u2019s all signed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deal done. Deal signed. But nobody can see it because, as Vance told Kelly, there\u2019s still diplomatic dancing to be done.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound like the deal is done \u2014 or even that war has ended.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow. Bloomberg and CNN said they\u2019ve obtained the 14-point memorandum of understanding, and even though the White House\u2019s spokesman, Steven Cheung, said in The Hill that what\u2019s being reported \u201cdoes not reflect the language of the actual MOU,\u201d it\u2019s hard to cheer what may or may not be in it.<\/p>\n<p>From The Hill, citing CNN and Bloomberg reports: The Strait of Hormuz will reopen to prewar levels within 30 days of the MOU signing \u2014 though the United States will \u201clift its naval blockade immediately.\u201d Iran, meanwhile, will commit to removing \u201ctechnical obstacles\u201d from the waters. It\u2019s not clear if Iran can toll vessels after the 60-day peace talk period. (You know, the talk of peace that\u2019s already been declared a done deal.)<\/p>\n<p>The MOU also commits the United States \u201ctogether with its regional partners\u201d to ensure $300 billion of reconstruction funds for Iran \u2014 though Trump has said America would not provide any of this money. According to the terms of the MOU, though, America must end \u201call types of sanctions\u201d on Iran \u2014 the U.S. ones as well as the U.N. and IAEA ones.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2398\">Rep. Thomas Kean set to return to Congress June 30 after three-month illness<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The MOU further states that fighting must cease \u201con all fronts\u201d \u2014 including between Israel and Lebanon, which is actually between Israel and the attacking, vicious, Iranian proxy terrorists called Hezbollah. Israel has nothing to do with this U.S.-Iran agreement, but Iran wants Trump to make Israel stop firing at Hezbollah and withdraw from Lebanon, anyway. (Word is the terrorists are having a tough time eradicating all the Jews when they keep fighting back. Still awaiting final confirmation on that line of logic, though.)<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what America gets, though: \u201cIran commits to no nuclear weapons,\u201d The Hill wrote.<\/p>\n<p>More on that: \u201cIran reiterates that it would not produce nuclear weapons under the deal,\u201d The Hill wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has promised the same in the past. But this time, they really mean it. They even reiterated it. Trump, of course, was savvy enough to demand language be included in the final deal that Iran not only promise never to produce nuclear weapons, but also promise never to purchase or possess them. Meanwhile, the fate of Iran\u2019s existing stockpile of weapons-grade uranium is still an issue to be decided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deal does not explicitly bar Iran from enriching uranium, instead maintaining the \u2018status quo\u2019 of its nuclear program,\u201d The Hill wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This sounds like a sucky deal for America, and an even suckier one for Israel \u2014 which, by the way, is a sovereign nation; which, by the way, has the right to defend itself against terrorists like Hezbollah; which, by the way, has been engaged in defensive military operations against Iran, Iran\u2019s proxies and specifically, Hezbollah, for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is we won\u2019t know how sucky until Friday, when the deal that was supposedly already signed is signed, and then not fully \u2014 not until 60 days has passed and a peaceful end of the war that was announced over the weekend is actually forged and announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Confused?<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to remember is we won the war. We just have to win it first. But other than that, we\u2019ve won it.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022 Cheryl Chumley can be reached at\u00a0cchumley@washingtontimes.com\u00a0or on Twitter, @ckchumley.
