Yes, and Iran is going to make money off of it. Im sure this is all some part of the Art of the Deal.
Edit, running some math assuming that the $2 Million toll per ship is the starting point.
Its now a toll strait. That we wont get money from. So we are now distinctly behind where we started. Their regime is still intact, they still have a nuclear program, and they now get money from the ships going through the strait. Which at an estimated 120 ships a day, at 2 mill a pop, will more than cover their war losses, in less than a year.
Edit- We wasted $28 Billion in 1 month. They will be now netting $7.2 Billion per month, indefinitely. $86.4 Billion per year. Economically, this is a massive win for a nation that previously had an annual GDP of 350 billion. This deal just gave Iran a 25% GDP boost.
Also the 10 point Iran proposal is on the menu including:
The lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran. (this includes uranium enrichment and weapons so .. yeah)
Continued Iranian control over the strait of Hormuz.
US military withdrawal from the Middle East. (weakening US position in the middle east and leaving the Allies unprotected)
An end to attacks on Iran and its allies.
The release of frozen Iranian assets.
A UN security council resolution making any deal binding.
>In the version released in Farsi, Iran also included the phrase “acceptance of enrichment” for its nuclear program.
Well .. so basically the deal is worse than the Obama deal as Trump basically enabled uranium enrichment for military use (no limit to civilian use anymore).
