United States ruler Donald Trump appears to be the only one in power who thinks the Iran deal, scheduled to be signed in a special ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, was a good deal. Israel said that Trump screwed them, while US Congressman Seth Moulton says the deal is a “lose, lose, lose” for the US.
Trump’s looming Iran peace deal looks like a “surrender document” to Moulton, a democrat. He said it fails to deliver anything America did not have before the war. The insinuation is that the war was started for no reason, and Americans were forced to pay egregious prices at the pump for nothing.
While speaking on MS Now on Saturday, Moulton, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, called the new peace deal a net loss for the US. “This is a terrible deal. It’s basically a surrender document from Donald Trump to the supreme leader of Iran.”
“I mean, $100 billion of taxpayer money already put into this war, 14 Americans dead, and we get a deal that just reopens the strait that was already open before he started the war? How is that a win?” Moulton said.
While Moulton admitted that an end to the unnecessary war is the best option for the US, in terms of accomplishing goals, it has been “just lose, lose, lose across the board for Trump and the United States of America.” It was a losing battle since Trump and Israel started the war on February 28th.
California Senator Adam Schiff, a vocal critic of the war, also expressed reservations about the deal. Schiff said that the talks could end with a “face-saving announcement to agree at a later date by the president. That would be a terrible strategic loss for the country.”
Israeli officials claim that Trump screwed them in the deal. They are angry about the “catastrophe” that fails the objectives set prior to the war.
“Trump screwed us,” one Israeli official told Ynet, as reported by RT. A second official called the deal “very bad.” “From our perspective, it is a catastrophe, because it does not meet any of the principles we spoke about when the war began,” he said.
A separate Israeli official said that the deal was only signed because of “pressure.” “The regional working assumption is that it was signed under Iranian pressure and an American climbdown, not the other way around,” the official said, adding that the agreement “will be considered a failure,” at least in the short term.
