Under the Obama-era JCPOA, Iran received no frozen asset money until after it shipped out its uranium stockpile, ripped out centrifuges, and submitted to inspections — the opposite of what Trump agreed to.

Tommy completes the MOU breakdown by laying out what the US received, and the contrast with Iran's gains is glaring. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz can technically resume, though in practice maritime traffic is still a fraction of pre-war levels and naval mines remain a hazard. Iran has 'reaffirmed' its commitment to never developing a nuclear weapon — a promise it made in both the NPT and JCPOA, making it the easiest possible concession. On enrichment, the MOU simply says 'the two parties agreed to discuss' the issue, kicking the hardest question down the road. Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium will be downblended rather than shipped out of the country, leaving open the possibility of future re-enrichment. Most strikingly, Iran's ballistic missile program and its support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah — the two pillars cited by Trump officials as justifications for going to war — are completely absent from the document.
Before the war, the US demanded zero enrichment, no proxy support, and geographic limits on Iran's missiles. The MOU delivers none of those things. Under the JCPOA, Iran got no money until after nuclear steps were completed. Now Iran gets billions upfront for doing almost nothing.
