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.Lifting the sanctions and letting Iran trade its oil in open market is huge
$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.$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.
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.
You are way too optimistic.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.
