Al Arabiya is a state-owned Saudi outlet. It'd be hard to make a case that they'd spread false information about their ally.

See terms 6 and 11.

As I just said on the post by your buddy:

Quit posting these useless articles claiming to know the details of the deal.

It merely a deal to talk about making a deal, and we get to pay for the privilege. Nothingburger.

RE: draft of memo....

So Iranians outsmarting the American negotiators would be draft dodgers.

Let’s see what the Administration is sitting on.

Iran already knows the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding. Is there any reason that the American public needs to be protected from reading them?

The key part will be this: how we ensure — on a permanently on-going basis — that the nuclear prohibitions are maintained.

Basically the mullahs get everything they want up front and we get a promise.

Total capitulation by Trump.

But it was just announced we will lift some sanctions so Iran can sell oil.

That’s it so far. No direct transfer of funds.

If this is true, I hope this document wasn’t printed on paper. Because the best that can come from it now is to save a tree.

If this doesn’t end Type 2 TDS, Trump Deification Syndrome, nothing will.

Maybe this is a fiction.

Maybe it’s not a fiction but President Trump doesn’t sign it on Friday.

But if it IS enacted, then the Iranians are going to have a nice payday.

This entire “Deal” is strange as hell. Why not just release it, Trump said today he would have a press conference and read it to EVERYONE..Ok so read it, and why cant israel see it. They were partners in this war, they have EVERY right to see what this deal is about yet they cant view it HOW COME, if its so great let them see it..Im just afraid that this will end up being the Obama nuke deal but without the money, same deal, no cash..if thats it, if 13 Americans died for that its ridiculous this is why Iran should have been finished off when we had the chance another 2-3 weeks would have been enough to finish the job

The very first point is idiotic! How can this MOU bind another sovereign state Israel to abide by it?

Looks like smoke and mirrors to get past the midterms.

I hate to say this, but Trump is a Republican and that is how negotiations with the Democrats usually work.

I’m paying no attention to the points Iran is making. Some may be true. Others are delusional.

Only if a real deal is inked on Friday will we know what the final conditions will be.
