Iran Nuclear Deal Includes Verification Triggers and Phased Sanctions Relief
CIA Director John Ratcliffe informed President Trump that intelligence shows Iranian officials discussing the agreement in ways inconsistent with their public statements to U.S. negotiators.
america.cgtn.comU.S. intelligence raised serious doubts about Iran's willingness to make the nuclear concessions sought in the deal. Intelligence reportedly showed Iranian officials discussing the deal among themselves in ways inconsistent with what they were telling American negotiators and mediators.
Ratcliffe, Rubio, and Hegseth voiced skepticism internally about the Iran deal. Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner pushed the deal through. Iran's benefits under the deal, including the frozen funds, the eventual $300 billion reconstruction fund, and sanctions relief, only arrive if Iran takes real nuclear steps.
U.S. will know within two to three weeks whether Tehran is serious about the deal. The deal stopped the war between Iran and the United States. Whether the deal survives the next 60 days depends on people Trump's own spy chief does not trust.
