CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Trump and other senior officials that evidence gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies raises serious doubts about Iran's willingness to make the nuclear concessions the U.S. is seeking in any final deal, according to three sources familiar with those discussions.
Friction point: Ratcliffe isn't the only skeptic in Trump's top team. In internal discussions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth both expressed concerns and raised questions about the memorandum of understanding (MOU) announced Sunday, while Vice President Vance and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner advocated for it, according to two of the sources.
(snip)
Vance, Witkoff and Kushner are expected to meet Friday with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, along with Pakistani and Qatari mediators, to discuss that next phase.
(snip)
The MOU says Iran will conduct a dialogue with Oman "to define future administration and maritime services" in the strait, with other Gulf countries participating in that dialogue to reach a solution "in line with applicable international law and sovereign rights" of regional countries, the source said.
(snip)
The MOU also says any final deal will include a "definitive and mutually agreed plan" for the establishment of a $300 billion fund for the "reconstruction and economic development" of Iran, as well as a mechanism for its implementation, the source said.

That’s a scope? In other news water is wet!
If they are skeptical than DONT SIGN IT
This is very much a Vance deal.
“$300 billion fund”
Trump and Bibi blew up Russian and Chinese junk that Iran might have paid about $10 billion in total for.
Big whoop!
DJT has doubts about Iran’s intentions...
However, keeping their gonads tightly clamped with water pump pliers may keep them in line...
Expect a lot of finger-pointing:

Some scoop, of course there are doubts and when they break the deal drop the hammer.
President Trump seems to create an image of peace or of wanting peace Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt talked peace gave us war.
Give DJT time to work this out not be swayed by emotions but I’m skeptical we won’t go the Netanyahu way and do something drastic to Iran.
Methinks this is the beginning of the 2028 Presidential Primaries for the Republicans!
Sources say = pure lies
Nuke ‘em. Nuke the bastards.
This is very much a Vance deal.

you’re not getting it.
they have get a deal now to get oil prices down for fall elections.
Of course, the Iranians are going to violate every part of any agreement they sign.
But with oil prices down, Republicans have a better chance of winning the midterm elections in the fall. That would be a mandate for Trump to take another bite out of the Iranians next year.
No way!
Iran is most honest.
It seems the plan is to get the oil flowing, bring down the cost of gasoline, and stop the Iranians from electing enough democrats during the midterms to take over Congress.
Those goals are virtuous. However, it means we are going to have to let the Iranians run the length of their chain until the polls close November 3; then we yank them down hard.
If the Iranians get too cute, too soon we give a nod to the Israelis. This is just among us; please keep this close-in and don’t go blabbing it everywhere.
47 years of doctrinal Taqiyya from the Arab Mullahs in charge of Persia.
Somebody put some serious time into that illustration.
This is Trump's war and deal.
NO WAY should Shia Islamists be repayed for the losses of their armament.
