Tommy methodically walks through everything that has leaked about the US-Iran deal, noting that the Trump administration has refused to release the actual text even to Bibi Netanyahu and John Thune. The deal includes a 60-day ceasefire covering Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz (though mine clearance could take six weeks), US naval blockade lifted, Iran's oil sales resuming under waived sanctions, and a staggering $300 billion reconstruction fund [1] — Tommy Vietor "Iran gets a $300 billion reconstruction fund, sanctions relief, oil exports, and tolling rights on the Strait of Hormuz — and hasn't yet ma…" 07:10 . The nuclear file — the entire stated rationale for the war — is punted to a follow-on 60-day negotiation with no agreed terms on Iran's highly enriched uranium or enrichment activities. Tommy is clear: the best deal was the one that ended the war fastest, but objectively Iran made almost no concessions given it was simply reopening a waterway that was open before the war.
Iran gets a $300 billion reconstruction fund, sanctions relief, oil exports, and tolling rights on the Strait of Hormuz — and hasn't yet made a single nuclear concession. Trump set out to destroy Iran's missiles, annihilate its navy, stop its proxies, and prevent nuclear weapons. He appears to be 1 for 4.
The deal includes a 60-day ceasefire during which all nuclear-related terms — including the fate of Iran's highly enriched uranium — must be negotiated.
The US and its partners will fund up to $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction, nearly 6 times the roughly $55 billion Iran received under the JCPOA.
Iran was already negotiating toward a nuclear deal before Trump launched the war. The US reopened a waterway that was open before the conflict began, handed Iran a financial windfall, and left the nuclear issue unresolved. This is what losing looks like.
Under the JCPOA, Iran got roughly $55 billion only after destroying its plutonium reactor, shipping out its uranium, removing centrifuges, and accepting inspections. The new deal's $300 billion reconstruction fund alone is nearly 6x that — and Iran hasn't yet met any comparable conditions.
