4:32 AM: Trump calls Iran deal critics "jealous, bad people, or stupid." Sen. Ted Cruz: "really bad advice." Sen. Bill Cassidy: "worst foreign policy blunder in decades." Chuck Schumer: "Iran has won on just about every one" of the 14 points. Tucker Carlson apologized for electing him.
A president conducting live nuclear negotiations with Iran let the intelligence tool that covers 60% of his daily brief go dark June 13 for the first time since 2008. He will restore it when Congress passes a bill that could block 69 million married women from registering to vote.
Russia gained $15 billion. Iran's missiles are untouched. Hormuz is under Iranian sovereign authority. American troops were targeted with Russian intelligence. Trump called it fair. You have the facts. Arrange them however you need to.
Trump's response to Russia helping Iran target American troops: "It's like, hey, they do it and we do it, in all fairness." He did not condemn Russia. He did not impose consequences. He temporarily lifted oil sanctions on Russia. Twice. While the war was ongoing.
The 14-point US-Iran agreement does not mention Iran's missile program. It grants Iran "sovereign rights" over future Hormuz administration after 60 days. Iran's parliamentary speaker called it "a record of America's failure." Russia and Iran signed a strategic partnership in 2025
U.S. officials told the Associated Press that Russia provided Iran with information to help strike U.S. warships and aircraft. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX): "Iran armed Russia with drones to massacre Ukrainians. Now Putin is returning the favor by providing intel to kill Americans."
From the day the war started, analysts documented that Russia would benefit as India and China pivoted from blocked Middle East supply to Russian crude. A New York Times analysis confirmed Russia gained more than $15 billion in additional oil revenue.
🧵Read this and decide for yourself:
A documented record. What Russia gained from the US-Iran war. No speculation. No labels. Just the timeline.
Point 5 of the US-Iran agreement: toll-free Hormuz passage for 60 days only. Iran then negotiates future administration under its "sovereign rights as a coastal state." Iran's missiles are not in the deal. Iran's parliamentary speaker called it "a record of America's failure."
Trump is claiming credit for the stock market record and falling oil prices. Both are being driven by the Iran peace deal ending the war he started. The market rose June 15 because the shooting stopped. He is citing the cure as proof the disease was good medicine.
