Pressure to Walk Away From A Good Iran Deal

The Duran: Episode 2530 A credible Iran deal is sitting on the table and the United States is walking away from it. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down why the proposed memorandum of understanding, which would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pause the conflict and begin nuclear enrichment talks, actually serves American interests, and why a coordinated neocon pressure campaign led by Pompeo, Graham and Cruz is pushing Trump to reject it. With US weapons inventories depleted, Iran stronger than ever, and Israel working furiously behind the scenes to prevent any settlement, the question is whether Trump has the resolve to stand up to the people who got him into this and secure a deal, or whether America is about to drift back into an even deeper debacle. 00:00:00 Introduction: Iran deal breakdown and the back and forth 00:00:26 What is actually on the table: the memorandum of understanding explained 00:01:51 Why the deal objectively serves US interests including Hormuz and the fleet 00:02:56 The problem: America went in seeking regime change not nuclear limits 00:03:23 Pompeo, Graham and Cruz: neocon pressure campaign against any settlement 00:04:35 Impossible demands: Iran handing over its nuclear stockpile 00:05:24 Trump compares the deal to Obama and the JCPOA: what that reveals 00:06:48 Why this will likely end up as JCPOA 2 with Hormuz added 00:07:27 US weapons inventories depleted: the real weakness behind the threats 00:09:05 Neocons will not give up: this is their last chance for regime change 00:10:00 Israel, Lebanon and the ceasefire complication 00:10:32 Trump must choose: capitulate to neocons or stand firm and get a deal 00:12:12 What a memorandum of understanding actually means and why it may not hold 00:13:53 Trust collapse: can anything be rebuilt within 60 days? 00:15:14 Israel's fury: the balance of power in the Middle East is shifting ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
