Vance says Iran agreement has been digitally signed, but remains vague on its key elements

Vance said that the deal had already been digitally signed by parties, but also maintained that there would be a signing ceremony on Friday.

Though it's unclear exactly what the Friday signing will mean if the deal has already been signed digitally. The vice president did say that the full text of the agreement would be released at some point this week and that negotiations were expected to continue. The exact contents of the agreement is still unclear, and he remained vague about what specifics were in the the text of the already-signed agreement.

This actually *sounds* like real progress, but it does remain to be seen what the agreement actually says. Most unclear is what "open" really means as far as shipping is concerned. Also what the Israeli refusal to back out of Lebanon means.

Let's see how the week plays out.

Latest figures of genocide in Gaza (Update: June 3): 870 days | 72,945 martyrs | 173,011 wounded

The home page pastes regular updates. The people of Iran take the genocide seriously.

The denial of service attacks may have stopped. For quite a while the page was blocked by low orbit ion cannons.

Trump, to honor the peace has to tell Israel to get out of Lebanon now or you, Israel will not be provided with any Americans arms and aid starting yesterday. If you don't get out of Lebanon now Israel, I am going to shove a presidential order cork up your piggy bank's ass.

I do not expect in my wildest dreams, that Trump is able to do this. He has no balls.

The true test of Trump’s Iran agreement will come only if the fighting stops

Differing perceptions of the meaning of the memo are already emerging. The US insists any release of Iranian assets or lifting of sanctions will be tightly tied to Iranian compliance. Tehran said the 60-day clock will only start if Washington starts disbursing billions of dollars of its frozen funds. Such is the mistrust between the US and Iran, and so high are the tensions between Israel and Tehran, that it will be a major achievement if the agreement lasts until a deal is signed.

Will the deal even make it to the end of the week? It's hard to see how there is any way for Chump to spin this as a win even if it does. The Nuke issue won't be resolved in 60 days, and I doubt they'll release anywhere near the $300B Iran wants to clean up thee mess, even if it's aactually their own money anyhow. The Israelis are more entrenched than ever, and Bibi actually looks moderate compared to his critics over there. The Insu7raance companies aren't gonna be lowering their rates anytime soon, so I doubt we see a flood of ships sail out of Hormuz either.

Israeli attacks, occupation in Lebanon violate MOU, Araghchi says

Speaking at a meeting with foreign diplomats in Tehran, Araghchi said Iran will view any military attack on Lebanon by Israel and the continuation of its occupation as a "violation of the MOU."

So, the MoU is already essentially null & void. Until Israel leaves Lebanon, there is no reason for the Iranians to fulfill any of the promises they have made on their side of the deal. So far as Hormuz being open, it may be but you still gotta pay a toll. So will any sanctions be lifted or money released? No, not as long as the Iranians are charging a toll. Will they start discussing the Nuke issue? Nope, because the other shit has to be resolved first.

IOW, the MoU is about as meaningful as the ceasefire. Nothing has changed. Just a few less bombs dropping, mainly because they are running out of ammo,

G7 leaders — and the rest of the world — wait for clarity on US-Iran agreement

After almost two hours, the sun had nearly set. Despite a “frank” and in-depth conversation on the agreement, at least some of the leaders walked away from the custom-built dinner pavilion just as mystified about the details of the plan as they were walking in, according to two officials familiar with the matter.

Days after Trump applied his electronic signature to the agreement, the exact terms of the pact remain known to only a few. Neither side has published the one-and-a-half page text that was formalized in the virtual signing Sunday, leading to sometimes contradictory statements from Washington and Tehran. Even officials inside Trump's government offered slightly different takes on how the plan would work.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

True that. But Iran is expecting accountability, and making a deal with the US from their point of view weakens Israel. The rub is that Iran is expecting America to force Israel to fall in line. That is where things break down.

QuoteCitrinowicz* further noted that if an agreement between Tehran and Washington is finalized, Israel will face a strategic reality it cannot alter. He argued that the U.S. administration has little appetite for returning to military confrontation with Iran, a position that enjoys considerable support across the American political establishment.
