Iran "Deal" Costs $300B+, High Prices & Weapons Stockpile

from Good Revenue

The US Iran memorandum is worth $300B+, and nothing in it is what it appears to be. The Strait of Hormuz is being "reopened" while Iran charges tolls, mines are still in the water, and there's no progress on nuclear talks. Israel isn't a party to any of this, energy prices are sky high, and the Pentagon needs 3+ years and US automakers' help to restock missiles after the US blew through $113B on the war.
