As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media.

The council also said the US has recognized its continued control over the Strait of Hormuz. The council said controlled passage through the waterway would be carried out “in coordination with Iran’s armed forces,” according to the statement reported by state media.

So basically, the U.S. spent a shitload of money bombing Iran so that it could lift sanctions on Iran and leave them with a stranglehold over 20% of the worlds oil supply. Typical Trump "win".

Not to mention the soft power forever lost.

This will be remembered as the dumbest error in geopolitical strategy.

Don't forget weakened the US military by shooting a lot of their stockpiled precision missiles. Missiles they Bought over years but burnt up in days

I think its a ploy for defense contracts. Like a clearing out old inventory to get new stuff. Watch they said they need to spend tons of money on new missiles so they cant afford something

There's so many versions of what the deal supposedly includes that we're better off just ignoring it for now and waiting until the negotiations start and we get a decent idea of what it actually is. No way the UN agrees to lifting all security council resolutions, nor will the US agree to unrestricted enrichment or to withdraw it's troops from regional bases, all of which are variously claimed to have been agreed on parts of the 10 point plan they forced on trump...
