Even Iranian officials admit it

 

[SolarWarden]

So this will likely bite me in the ass but it seems US strikes hit something critical to force IRGC to potentially sign this deal that even Iranian gubemt is admitting is almost done. Iran also didn't retaliate the way many were expecting.

Now watch the deal be killed and hostilities resume.

Senior U.S. administration official briefs reporters on the emerging Iran deal:


• Deal achieves core U.S. objectives
• Strait of Hormuz to reopen
• U.S. to receive enriched material from Iran under the agreement
• Deal includes a nuclear monitoring regime
• Official says it ensures long-term peace in the region
• Iran will receive economic rewards only if it complies
• Significant sanctions relief will be tied to Iranian performance
• U.S. expects the deal to be signed in the coming days
• Draft agreement would lead to the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program
• “We are not quite at the finish line, but very close”• Iran receives nothing upon signing

So it was axe the difference between this deal and 2015...

-Based on the US briefing, this emerging deal looks substantially stricter than the 2015 JCPOA. JCPOA allowed Iran limited enrichment (3.67% cap), reduced but operational centrifuges/stockpiles, IAEA monitoring, and phased sanctions relief with 10-15 year sunsets. It was pre-conflict and nuclear-focused only. This framework reportedly requires dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, transferring enriched material to the US, a monitoring regime, and significant sanctions/economic relief only after verified performance — with nothing upon signing. It also includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz. It shifts to full rollback and delayed benefits in a post-conflict setting. Details remain preliminary.

U.S. military making plans to secure Iran's nuclear materials if deal is reached, sources say​

Washington — Amid volatile diplomacy and tit-for-tat strikes between the United States and Iran, American military planners have discussed contingencies that would involve U.S. forces helping secure Iran's nuclear materials if a deal is reached, according to U.S. officials familiar with knowledge of the ongoing planning.

The discussions, which remain preliminary and are contingent on a range of battlefield and political developments, center on how the Pentagon could support the Department of Energy in seizing Tehran's highly enriched uranium, the officials told CBS News, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss national security issues.

Under one scenario reviewed by defense officials, U.S. troops would be deployed to several countries across the Middle East to support a rapid response operation. Specialized teams from the Department of Energy, working alongside American military personnel and other U.S. government agencies, could then enter Iran to locate, secure and remove stockpiles of enriched uranium, the officials said.

Before an American F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down back in April, triggering a major combat search and rescue effort, Pentagon officials had examined a similar concept involving the Department of Energy's Nuclear Emergency Support Team, known as NEST, according to the officials. The proposal also envisioned participation from U.S. Special Operations forces and the Army's 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives Command, which specializes in countering weapons of mass destruction and hazardous materials.

The officials told CBS News that the discussions do not represent a decision to conduct an operation. Rather, they are part of routine military contingency planning.

A senior administration official told reporters on a call Friday that under the terms of a deal, which could be signed in the coming days, Iran's enriched uranium would be "destroyed on site and then taken out of the country."

There will be a "technical process to figure that out," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Technical negotiations are slated to last 60 days, after a memorandum of understanding is signed, the official said.

Like others would love to have this war over with. But I've seen so many roller coaster ups and downs I don't know what the hell to think

Irans civilian leaders see the writing on the wall regarding their economy. $300B in direct economic damage from the war on top of an already terrible economy. Add in the blockade and Iran is essentially a failed state. They’ve got no choice but to concede. Only ones denying a deal are the IRGC nutcases that’d rather see their country in rubble than concede. They are Hamas at state level.

If any of the above is true, this is just pathetic actually. Iran has to basically bend over backwards FIRST and then it 'maybe' rewarded with sanctions relief?!?!? The F**k have I just read?!?!? Months of negotiations, 40+years of tip toeing around Nukes and this is what they agree to? I hope this is fake news.

Aragachis and Nabavians X posts above indicate that those terms are indeed true.

Sorry bro', should have clarified a bit better.

I should have expanded by saying what was contained in that Tweet is embedded in the mindsets of a number of people here.

Once again, X posts are not to be trusted. Even now, Trump is saying there may or may not be a deal.

Until we see the actual deal in print, any Twitter posts of leaks especially from"those close to the President" should be treated with skepticism.

It's really not a hard concept.
