The Iran Deal, Explained

from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin

The Iran deal text is finally out — all 14 points. Nick reads every one of them, ranked from least to most egregious, so you can hear exactly what was traded away and what wasn't. Iran gets immediate oil exports, $24 billion in frozen assets with no restrictions on use, and a $300 billion reconstruction commitment — before a single nuclear concession is verified. The nuclear program? Still standing. Enrichment? Deferred. Hormuz? Toll-free for 60 days, after which Iran negotiates the fees. Trump called Obama a traitor for a deal that involved returning Iran's own money. He just signed something twice as expensive with fewer conditions. These are the receipts.
