Obama Immediately Attacks Trump’s Iran Peace Deal

“But the fact of the matter is that taking the time to explore diplomacy and exhaust the possibilities of coming up with deals that don’t solve 100 percent of the problem but solve 80, 90 percent of the problem while avoiding the necessity of going to war — you’d think we would have learned that lesson by now,” Obama claimed.

“But it seems like every so often we have to relearn that lesson,” Obama concluded.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council also announced Sunday that Tehran and Washington have finalized a memorandum of understanding aimed at formally ending the conflict after months of negotiations, according to multiple reports.

In a statement, the council said all military operations across several theaters, including those involving Iranian-backed forces in Lebanon, will cease “immediately and permanently” beginning Sunday night.

The council also said the U.S. would fully lift its naval blockade of Iran, which would take effect immediately, according to Iran International.

Under the reported framework, negotiations on a broader and more comprehensive agreement will begin only after both sides have fulfilled the commitments outlined in the initial memorandum.

Iranian officials also thanked Pakistan and Qatar for their roles in facilitating talks and helping broker the agreement.

The memorandum is reportedly scheduled to be formally signed on June 19 and would launch a 60-day negotiating period focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the terms of a wider long-term agreement between the two countries.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” he added.

In a follow-on post, the president said, “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region. Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me.

“The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace,” Trump said.
