The Memorandum of Agreement is this (according to Bloomberg):

It includes, for instance, this:

6. The United States undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, While ensuring financing of at least $300 billion. The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.

John Hinderaker writes at PowerLine:

Foreign Policy magazine, a voice of foreign policy liberalism, headlines “Iran Is a Bigger Defeat [of America] Than Vietnam.” That’s hyperbolic, but I take their point. It is a sad day for America and for our allies.

It is.

The Israel Defense Forces … published a new map showing an expanded zone of occupation, deploying troops more than 6 miles across the Lebanese border, including north of the Litani River. (Californian Post).

Israel took no part in the “deal” that American representatives reached with some Iranian politicians, nor were they invited to.

What does this mean?

Published by Breitbart today, dateline June 19, 2026, today:

Israel and Hezbollah agreed a ceasefire on Friday, a US official said, after deadly exchanges between the two sides in Lebanon put a deal to end the Middle East war under strain, less than two days after it was signed. [What?]

Talks that were scheduled to take place between the US and Iran in Switzerland on Friday to build on the deal and work towards a lasting settlement were postponed amid the fighting, with no new date announced. …

A key aspect of the deal was the immediate re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the key shipping bottleneck whose closure caused global energy prices to rise.

A total of 25 commercial vessels crossed the newly-reopened strait on Thursday, the highest number since mid-April, according to data from maritime tracking firm AXSMarine published on Friday.

American forces on Thursday lifted their parallel naval blockade of Iranian ports, the US military said, noting that American warships “will remain in the general area”.

Iran’s maritime authority said on Friday that all ships seeking to cross the Strait of Hormuz should submit a transit request “48 hours in advance”, despite its reopening. [How does that work?]

Vance, it is now clear to me, is an anti-Semite. More disconcerting are Trump’s recent rebukes of Israel. It occurs to me that, perhaps, both Trump and Vance know this fragile MoU will soon breakdown, and they are setting up Israel to be the fall guy, the scapegoat - a position all too familiar to the Jewish people. As an ardent Trump supporter from the day of is descent on the elevator, It is heart breaking for me to say this.

You sure are right about Vance!

Trump …? He is surely not an anti-Semite? But … How can one otherwise explain what he is doing?

I simply do not understand Trump. Why he turns on friends, such as Meloni, is incomprehensible.

He is content to have two Jews be his mouthpieces?

But he won’t let Israel know what he intends?

Why don’t the two Jews rebel, I wonder.
