For months now, Donald Trump has been claiming that he's only days away from reaching an agreement with Iran that would end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, it looks like some kind of agreement (or memo of understanding) may have been reached.
Trump says the agreement has been digitally signed, and a formal signing will happen on Friday.
However, we must understand that this is not a final agreement that will end the war. It is only an agreement to extend the ceasefire another 60 days (and hopefully open the Strait of Hormuz) while talks continue to reach a final solution. Still, it is good news if it can accomplish at least that.
But it bothers me that Trump is being so secretive about what is in the agreement. Trump has always been very open about things that he thinks make him look good. That tells me that he is not at all sure that Congress (or the American people) will like what he's agreed to.
Has Trump, in his desperation to get out of this mess, given Iran the super hand? Has he surrendered while claiming victory?
He keeps claiming the contents of the agreement will be released, but so far, they haven't been. Why?
