Donald Trump is on the verge of securing a sweeping peace deal with Iran that would lift US sanctions, free billions in frozen assets and open a path to uranium enrichment, mirroring the Barack Obama pact he spent years trashing.
A one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding is being negotiated between senior Iranian officials and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The White House believes the memo could finalize a framework to end the war within 48 hours.
If signed, a 30-day window would open for both countries to negotiate a larger agreement covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of all US sanctions on Iran, and new limits on its nuclear program.
The deal calls for Iran to halt all uranium enrichment for 12 to 15 years with automatic extensions if Tehran violates the terms, according to Axios.
Another key provision would have the regime remove its highly enriched uranium stockpile from the country, though the memo does not specify a destination.
Trump has been at pains to avoid anything resembling the 2015 Obama deal he spent years trashing as the 'worst deal ever.' But the emerging framework echoes it in striking ways: sanctions lifted, frozen billions released and Iran capped at the same 3.67 percent enrichment level agreed to by Obama.
Oil prices plunged on news of the proposed deal with Brent crude, the global benchmark, falling by more than 10 percent to below $100 per barrel. Stock futures tied to the Dow rose 1.1 percent, S&P 500 futures surged 0.9 percent, while Nasdaq futures climbed 1.6 percent.

Leftists and news media hurt the worst.
And I don’t believe the details as described.
TRUMP SURRENDERS
Having a hard time getting excited about this: the facts change by the hour, and the Iranian regime lies about everything. You can’t make an enforceable deal when one of the parties has shown that it is either unwilling to, or incapable of, keeping its word. Unconditional surrender is the only workable outcome.

How is this like Obama’s deal?
I do not believe this BS story. Period.
WTH?
Apparently, Trump is the one who wants a deal at any cost.
Maybe now we can go back to removing the sewage brought in by the pedophile president. The bass turds gotta go. You can’t do anything good for America when you’ve got 20 million foreign freeloader ahos that have come here to live off the backs of American workers and to start colonies and take over the congress and the government. Support ICE and CBP. Have an ICE Day!
It had better be BS.
A twelve to fifteen year moratorium on uranium enrichment is not an Obama deal.
Hey dumbass your opinion means nothing.
This doesn’t make any sense - put all those assets in place, burn all that political capital visa vi the gas prices and being in a war sucks - and then take a shitty deal? Doesn’t add up probably just a BS wish piece of fake news
Another massive fail by the GW MORON globalist israel false idol worshipping idiots that talked Trump into this attack.
The same idiots that cheered on and funded Biden’s war in Ukraine to kill 20 million white Christians.
Oh no....the Daily Tale...
You’re having a hard time adjusting to the fact Trump is giving away the store.
At this point he will agree to anything that opens the Strait.
A twelve to fifteen year moratorium on uranium enrichment is not an Obama deal.
It gives the Islamo nutjobs Obama style pallets of cash to sustain their regime and time to pick the correct moment to fabricate their nuclear weapons. Agreeing to such a deal now ensures the Iranian Mullahs gets nukes sooner or later. And with that Saudi Arabia, etc.

Witkoff and Kushner are “GW Moron Globalists”? Interesting. I didn’t know that. They were hand picked by POTUS, obviously.
That doesn’t sound like the deal I heard. 🙄
I’ll believe it when read it on Truth Social or from Trump’s own mouth, and not before.
> At this point he will agree to anything that opens the Strait. <
This deal (if there is one) is beyond my capacity to properly analyze. Nevertheless, there is probably some truth to your comment above.
For better or for worse, voters are getting restless. We are certainly seeing that here on FR. I would suppose Trump sees that, too.
