The United States on Wednesday released the official text of the memorandum of understanding reached over the weekend with Iran.
A senior US administration official read out the 14-point document, which spells out provisions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, easing certain financial restrictions on Iran and sets out expectations for addressing Iran’s nuclear program during future technical talks.
Titled the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the document was released after outcry that its text hadn’t been released publicly.

Weird. I didn’t get a text. Anyone else?
<< The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have jointly agreed in good faith >>
Good faith eh?
We lost. It’s that simple.
Whatever it is, Iran will wait a week, then start testing the boundaries, and if they don’t get smacked immediately, they’ll test it some more, and then some more, until they flagrantly violate it. President Trump, smack them early and often. Don’t let them get away with sh!t. Make sure they look weak, preferably stupid, too. Arm the people on the sly every chance you get.
Did you come from behind, or under that rock?
In addition, we agree to withdraw forces from the "proximity" of Iran: does that include Qatar and KSA? Traditionally, ceding the battlefield to the enemy signals defeat.
Its a complete sh!tshow as others have noted. Revolting, and the exact opposite of what I thought I was getting with Trump.
“Revolting, and the exact opposite of what I thought I was getting with Trump. “
Same here. I’m disgusted.
“Did you come from behind, or under that rock?”

“The first step of knowledge is to call things by their proper names.”
Fifth Fleet HQ is in Bahrain.
This is ceding the entire Persian Gulf/Middle East to Iranian Hegemony. Extending to Lebanon, at least.
Cheese eating surrender Trump.
“We lost. It’s that simple.”
The Kool Aid drinkers on here telling me that this is a great move by Trump and that we should all trust Iran to follow through are sickening. Er, sycophants. Both.
Complete surrender. Iran leveraged the Strait and won. I’m am absolutely dumbfounded.
6- The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of a final deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers, and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.”
7 — The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions,*** [The United States has imposed sanctions on Iran since 1979]
9 — Pending the final deal, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran agree to maintain the status quo. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region.
10 — The United States of America undertakes that immediately upon the signing of this MOU and until the termination of sanctions, US Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc.
11 — The United States of America undertakes to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the implementation of this MOU.
One can only hope!
Imagine taking an oath to defend the Constitution of our Republic, and then being turned into a mercenary for foreign kings!
Is this the same 14-point text that has been refuted before? I am losing track of this.
Total capitulation. A dark day for the United States.
From demanding UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER to total capitulation in less than 3 1/2 months. It is 4D chess, don’t you know. 
The MOU hasn’t been officially released.
I think a lot of the posters here should just go off and create their own site.
