President Donald Trump is going full speed ahead with his disastrous Iran deal, and that’s not good news for Americans, Israelis, Iranians, or anyone else. Fox News reported Wednesday that the Trump administration finally disclosed the details, which include “plans for immediate waivers on Iranian oil exports, a framework for at least $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development, and a 60-day negotiation period aimed at securing a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.”
Trump himself boosted the deal before the press on the same day, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on his right and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on his left. Trump was in a particularly jovial mood and

My two cents...the last time a country was bombed into surrendering was Japan in 1945 when 2 nukes were dropped. We could not do it to Germany in 1942-45, to North Korea 1950-53, to North Vietnam 1965-72, to Iraq in 1991...you can change behavior and bombed to the peace talks...but making them surrender or regime change is tough business. In 1991 Iraq was still in Kuwait after 6 weeks of a serious, serious pounding and then it took 2 US Army Corps and 2 Marine MEFs to get them out of Kuwait. So my guess is 1-2 Army Corps with a Theater Army HQs would be needed to regime change Iran...150,000 to 200,000 troops. You would then have to stay in Iran for a few years also. What would our Allies send as ground forces...ZERO Troops. While we are committing our blood and treasure in Iran....the rest of the world would be looking on and gazing at their collective navels. Just saying.

As long as the IRGC is still in power, with the $300B going back into Iran will fund terrorism around the world; the people of Iran will continue to live in hell; and Iran will eventually build a nuclear bomb. What was Trump thinking, Noble Peace Prize or building another hotel/resort. In my opinion, this was not a very good deal. The U.S. caved is more like it.

On what basis does everyone assume that Trump is stupid?

Clearly after the Iranian Mullahs get the money, they will sabotage the deal.

Don't agree with author. Iranian oil exports are going out and frankly the world needs them even if we don't. Rest of the article conflates this deal with the one they are aiming at. Says this deal will fail, which is likely, and then that the follow on deal will help Iran, but since this one is going to fail, the follow on won't happen. Says there probably won't be enforcement mechanisms. That is not a complaint about this one at all, that is a preparatory complaint about the next one which is not going to happen due to failure fo this one if Iran is not faithful and true, which it won't be. We are just getting breathing room until Iran's next vile deed.

The USA is not giving Iran $300 bil. It's money from outside investors that must be approved by us before it is spent in Iran. Trump cave? Not likely.

The main point of this war is Iran and nukes. They cannot be allowed to have one. Period. The first one that they get their hands on will be used against Tel Aviv. Israel will respond and Tehran will cease to exist. Hundreds of thousands will die essentially because the Iranian mullahs are b****t crazy zealots. They think that starting a nuclear holocaust will bring the twelfth nut ball imam out of his hole in the ground. Real change in Iran will only come when the Iranians themselves defy their leaders that are murdering their own citizens by the thousands trying to hold onto their brutal power. Hang enough of the hierarchy from lampposts and the rest will flee to other Arab nations that will accept them.

Reza, look it. The iranian people must now step up and figure out how to wipe out their irgc and the mullahs. Nothing will change until the people find a way to win.

#8, it does not matter where the $300B will come from. Knowing the IRGC, they will use portions of that money to support the terrorists worldwide. Our main goal should have been extermination of the IRGC, then the U.S. should talk about rebuilding this country under new leadership.

#11 I apologize in advance but I must disagree. Our aim was neutering the ability of the Iranians to have/use nuclear weapons. That is done. The 300 Billion is allowed to flow to the Iranians only if other countries want to invest and the USA allows it. If you want to destroy the Iranian Army (about 500,000) then you will have to use another Army. You cannot do that from the Air unless perhaps you use nukes. The Arab countries have neither the capability nor inclination to project a land force. We already know what NATO will do...nothing. It would be the US Army (our active force of about 500,000) being projected to Iran to do battle. That is not going to happen unless something catastrophic occurs to us where we act as the Romans did toward Carthage. I'm trying to objectively (In my humble opinion) state the facts of trying to regime change Iran.

The 300 billion aspect of the deal is coming middle east countries, not the U.S. If the U.S. spends 300 billion on Iran, there won't be much of Iran left worth saving.

The $300 billion dollar reconstruction fund is coming from, and will presumably be doled out by, Iran's immediate neighbors, most of whom have suffered significant Iranian attacks in recent months. They have every incentive to closely monitor and control how the money is spent.

I can't get past Spencer's use of "Crown Prince". The Pahlavi Dynasty has been defunct for nearly as long as it was in power. Having been born into the Pahlavi family gives none of them any specialized insight about Iran.

NO one would have bombed Iran like President Trump has done, repeatedly, No previous President and certainly NONE of the second guessers who popped up. He is freeing up oil to knock the price down AND teach everyone a lesson about control. HE has control of the entire region through agreements, alliances, this MOU and the absolute lesson that HE won't hesitate to strike hard at what is left of Iranian power when they try and make another power play.
He has been planning and acting on this makeover of the entire MidEast for a long time and this time he has the players and people around him to make it work. This isn't the end game, this isn't the final treaty. This is another step to changing the reagion and the world. The guy didn't create and manage the building of real estate projects that were deemed impossible against stiff opposition, without mastering negotiations, and he isn't afraid to take the bold steps others did timidly or not at all.

It would appear that sonny wanted to get his daddy's throne back, but now realizes he will not.
We should see how this deal works out. If Iran does not follow it, the gloves can come back off in an instant.
Iran has lots and lots of internal problems that they have to deal with rather sooner than later.
