Iran trades Hormuz for Trump throwing Netanyahu under the bus

And when Netanyahu breaks the ceasefire, which one could be forgiven for taking as an inevitability, he will be the bad guy when Iran closes the Strait in return. I don’t know any other way to read this:

Trump Declares Israel ‘PROHIBITED’ From Bombing Lebanon After New Iran Deal: ‘Enough Is Enough!’

Wonder how Netanyahu feels about being “prohibited” by Trump.

Also: “Hezboolah”.

Trump: "The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear 'Dust.' This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!

The US and Iran cannot negotiate for Lebanon and Israel anymore than you or I can.

And Obama got more for free, all he did was release $400M of Iran's own money to them.

Meanwhile Iran hasn't had to do very much to get what they wanted.
