Iran: A memorandum of misunderstanding
Still supporting President Trump, but ...
Eric Utter | June 20, 2026
Let me preface this by saying I am a huge (yuuge!) supporter of President Trump.
However, with the joint “Memorandum of Understanding” (MoU), President Trump has effectively declared his -- and the United States’s -- unconditional surrender to Iran, time, and current conditions. This unilateral capitulation is the more depressing and devastating given Trump’s pre-war actions and words.
The events of the past couple of days are eerily reminiscent of 1938, with Neville Chamberlain Donald Trump waving around the MoU, essentially a piece of paper purportedly proclaiming, “peace in our time.” It will likely work out about as well as did the Munich Agreement.
After the previous bombings of Iran’s nuclear sites, roughly one year ago, Trump said Iran’s nuclear facilities were utterly destroyed, set back by decades. Yet, a short time later, he claimed Iran was within weeks of being able to deploy a nuclear weapon. Early on in the war he encouraged the Iranian people to overthrow the mullahs. Iranians looked to Trump as a savior. Yet, he recently stated, “I never cared about regime change.” Talk about throwing a people under the bus! Which was it? It couldn’t be both. And then he threw Israel, our most reliable ally -- and the only democracy in the Middle East — under the bus as well (must be a damn big bus!), hurling “F-bombs” at Benjamin Netanyahu as he did so.
And for what?
