Everything the U.S. has done in this conflict — from Trump’s impotent screaming on social media to the administration getting jerked around in negotiations to its eventually agreeing to hand Iran everything — points to one painful and embarrassing reality: The White House went to war with no plan to counter or neutralize Iran’s most important asset.
Thus, after months of military action by the U.S., in which the Iranian navy, leadership, and Revolutionary Guard were reduced to rubble, the White House has signed an agreement that allows Iran to keep its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The U.S. has also agreed to lift its naval blockade of Iran, to terminate “all types of sanctions,” to waive sanctions on oil sales, and to make “fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
