Iran Got Everything It Wanted. All We Got Was the Strait.

And administration figures need to stop lying about it.

June 19, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield

J.D. Vance, playing point man for the deal with Iran, has been not so much defending it as attacking anyone who objects to it and claiming that there’s lots of ‘misinformation’ about the deal.

There’s certainly plenty of ‘misinformation’ about it.

After being told for days that the version floating around the media wasn’t the real MOU in official statements, it turned out for the most part to be the real deal. The agreement includes dropping sanctions, $300 billion for Iran (the current hedge is that the money will be coming from ‘investors’, not the government) and no meaningful Iranian comments except to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The MOU is a litany of Iranian demands and American commitments with no Iranian commitments except to reopen the Strait. Anyone can look at the wording and see that clearly for themselves.

Trump needed to get oil prices lower for the midterms.
 
He F'ed up, big, but can't admit it to himself or anyone else.

A politically astute politician would have waited until the after the Mid-Terms to launch a half-ass war of foreign misadventure that put the World economy at risk to accomplish less than nothing.

We didn't even get the Strait. Iran is already claiming they can say who can pass, demanding Tribute. This MoA is collapsing already

Iran got the gold mine. We got the shaft.
