Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Trump signs hard copy of US-Iran agreement​

The 14-point document released by the US says Iran will 'not procure or develop nuclear weapons,' among other provisions.

Updated 8:05 PM EDT, Wed June 17, 2026


US President Donald Trump, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, holds a press conference during the G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, June 17, 2026.


Trump: Sanctions will never let Iran rebuild
Two realities, US had only 4 weeks of oil reserve left and inflation is getting out of control. US need billions of dollars Iran market. He already announced indirect investment in Iran through " some arab states" .. most probably Qatar.
 
Signed at Versailles. I hope they don’t call it the “New Treaty of Versailles”. The connotation are not good.



P.S. France 24 just picked up on the symbolism, darn. Sssshhh Frenchies, Trump said we are down to 4 weeks of oil, don’t spoil the summer. Let Trump make his deal.

Isn't it crazy that keeping the peace with US, Israel and the GCC countries was actually a bad strategy for irans management of relations with those countries?

Put another way - war served Iran pretty well, much better than being peaceful and pacifist.

The "might is right" era we are in. Ow means that threatening to or using violence on stubborn adversaries leads to positive or favorable outcomes.

This all confirms that humanity is in a VERY bad space today.
Well, these GCC countries enjoyed Iran oil and gas quota for the last 47 years and always favored Western sanctions, now...............
 
I can guarantee the Israelis are now looking at Khamenei's funeral as the best opportunity to both carry out assassinations and sabotage this MoU between Iran and the US.

 
It will end up as JCPOA 2.0.

No toll, $300B is a gimmick (investment not a reparation).

Still not bad for Iran.
environment fee, new name to toll. 300 billion through UAE and Qatar. This is release of Iranian oil money in American and western financial institutions.

Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Won’t Have ‘Tolls’ but It Will Have ‘Fees’​

 
It will end up as JCPOA 2.0.

No toll, $300B is a gimmick (investment not a reparation).

Still not bad for Iran.
300B$ investment promise you can't force investor to invest you can advise which means only a lame promise even JD Vance told and Trump acknowledge it they did not make any pact regarding this even JD vance told full text of MOU is holding back because Pakistan and Qatar's request once MOU signed they will reveal full text.
 
People keep dismissing him but I have come to respect him. He was a doctor with no prior experience in politics and statecraft yet he maintained his composure, never sold out and survived TWO wars.
Significantly helped lead the country against its biggest military and geopolitical threat in generation, and come out on top. I would imagine if all this holds up and they are free from foreign interference (no sanctions, etc) that Pezeshkian could have the legacy of a hero.
 
If the sanctions are waved, Pakistan should try to build Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline within 2 months. The Iranian part was built years ago and already on the border of Pakistan so we just need to connect it with Pakistani pipeline near Gwadar.
I read this was already in the works. That Pakistan is going to fast track the completion of the pipeline now that this is done.
 
Lifting the sanctions and letting Iran trade its oil in open market is huge
There will be no lifting of sanctions before signing the final deal. This deal only says that lifting of sanctions will be done once a final deal has been reached. So, as of now, Iran is getting no money.

$8 billion+ in oil sales in two months through sanctions relief (Iran did not get full sanctions relief for oil and petrochemical exports prior to the war)

some assets will be unfrozen too. the MOU is vague on it, but as Trump said, the understandings they have beyond the MOU are more important, and I am sure one of those understandings relates to frozen assets. Trump even said today that it's Iran's money, so of course they have to give it back.
$8 billion in oil sales that Iran cannot get its hands on before lifting of the sanctions. So, no cash money will enter Iran. Iran needs cash.

We were told that Iran will get $12 billion in cash once it signs the deal, and another $12 billion will be given to Iran once Iran honors its end of the bargain in the 60 days. No such thing is going to happen, it seems.

One thing I have noticed is that Iranian currency hasn't appreciated against USD after signing this MoU, which could mean that Iranian assets are not going to be unfrozen soon, it seems.

Trump, for better or worse, has realised this was a mistake. We all poke fun at him but at least his senile mind finally understood the gravity of the situation. He is a businessman and he took the best deal on the table and cut his losses and he is out. He is not a stateman who is going to still stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel. The opportunity is lost and has no more dividends to give. I would not be surprised if the US opens up its embassy in Tehran at the conclusion of these deals and integrate itself with the Iranian economy which is going to be many folds larger than Israel with a much larger and hungrier population presenting a massive market and it would prove to be more enticing if the sanctions are lifted properly.

The immediate winner here is Iran, the winner down the track could be the US, the heroes on the sides are GCC, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, and the absolute loser is Israel.

One thing that should stand out from all of this.....it is by the will of Allah we are witnessing this. Iran was the only country that stood tall in front of tyranny and opression and war was thrust upon it. Yet, here we are....for all to witness. Allah has given Iran an unbelievable victory.
You are way too optimistic.

This is what many people do not realize. The USA's submarine fleet is unmatched, in a league of its own. It is truly a power given to the USA by Allah Almighty!
Trump realizes he can’t win the war. Putin knows he can’t win the war. having overwhelming firepower is too little win if the opponents are military capable and willing to fight until death.
 
Gents trumps just surrendered so bad it’s not even funny anymore.

It’s goin have to be the US tax payers to foot the bills here no?

Where the hell else would the $300 billion come from?

Irans driving a hard bargain no?

Even if trump beats all them GCC camel jaakys with a baseball bat till near death to puss n blood……they’re just not going to cough it up cuz they didn’t start this war.

That maany goin have to be paid up by the Israelis and the Americans.
