🚨JUST IN: Was just on a media briefing call with a senior US officials who confirm the MOU with Iran has been signed and outlines the following from their POV:
"In general terms, the deal says if you're willing to behave like a normal country, we're willing to treat you like a normal country. It's performance based."
- Strait of Hormuz is open, but it will take a few weeks to get travel back to normal.
- A signing ceremony on Friday in Geneva including JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and others, and a large Iranian contigent.
- The official stressed that we're here not just because of the last 1.5 years of the Trump administration, but because of the first 4 as well. The sanctions pressures built up and they believe created leverage.
- The reason negotiations have been "very fruitful" was because of the "degredation of [Iran's] economy" and the "scattering of their government which created a lot of internal pressure."
- There a significant new communication channels. The official describes the initial Islamabad meeting as very fruitful, despite not resulting in a deal. It laid the groundwork.
- Operation Project Freedom has been an "unsung hero" in this, resulting in over 7 million barrels of oil a day. That increased US leverage.
- The nuclear talks are described as "technical" in terms of how to retrieve the enriched uranium.
- Stressed this is not "pay for play." They will not get access to markets or release of their funds just for showing up for a meeting.
- There are "fascinating" internal political dynamics playing out in Iran. There are constituencies that want different things. Iran, by all accounts, should be incredibly wealthy.
- "We go in very clear-eyed" that Iran has been a bad faith actor in negotiations for 47 years: "Everything will be verified... all released assets and sanction relief is tied to milestones."
- The US will keep the current military force posture for now to make sure Iran "does what they say they're going to do." The deal contemplates a partial draw down upon the signing of the nuclear deal."
- "One of the aspects of the negotiation that was actually easier than others was the nuclear, because they need our technical expertise to get the dust out."
- Iran would probably love to have a nuclear weapon, but they know US intelligence is so precise that they can't do it in secret and the threat of force is now realized.
- The Gulf States generally love this deal. They saw the JCPOA as empowering Iran to be a bad actor. They see this as a regional deal that pressures Iran to behave and bring stability to the entire region.
- "The full deal will be published soon, but we're still in the building trust phase." 11:01 AM · Jun 15, 2026 · 213.6K Views

This guy doesn’t know anything, FReyores have been saying Iran got 10 Trillion dollars and we got nothing. He should know Trump is an idiot who has no clue.
...these reporters....excuse me...analysts will keep publishing "junk" until the President orders it posted.
probably the most authoritative briefing was VP JD going over it on tonight’s “Hannity” which repeats overnight. he actually knows what is in it, what needs to be hammered out, etc.
Just say "we did this to keep oil prices low for the midterms."
Fine. At least that would be honest, and sensible. Nut this hooey? Sheesh.
He may be full of it. The actual text of the document has not been released. This guy is working from ‘stuff he’s been told’.........
bump
So we are briefing folks from Turning Point, but not addressing the country directly?
Tell me how this makes sense.
There’s a leak somewhere...............
