A (alleged) copy of the agreement between Trump and Iran has leaked, and it is hard to overstate how bad it is. Some details:
- Includes reference to no fighting in Lebanon, which will mean US will pressure Israel to not respond to attacks from Hezbollah
- A minimum $300 billion rehabilitation fund for Iran!
- All sanctions, both global and US, on Iran to end!
- No deal on nuclear programme beyond kicking it to a working group
- Iran allowed to maintain status quo nuclear programme in absence of a long-term agreement
- US to issue immediate sanctions waiver on Iranian oil
- US to release all frozen funds to Iran
UPDATE: Sadly it is not a forgery. Bloomberg has confirmed it is the actual deal.

David , your bias is evident . The rest of the world will be pleased for a possible return to safe international shipping , airspace and trade .
Life without nuclear weapons in Iran .
That is NOT bad.
Well we don’t really know what the deal will be, do we? Who will pay the 300 billion for rehab and who will do the rehab? Ref to no fighting in Lebanon is not worth much - the Israeli folks aren’t exactly under Trump’s control. Without the removal of the existing regime there is no chance for success, and the regime cannot be removed by military means without huge consequences for either the US if they use ground troops, or the Iranian population- if civil infrastructure is systematically destroyed.
