Joe SLAMS Trump’s Iran deal for being WORSE than the Obama Iran deal

This video features a Morning Joe panel discussing a newly reached, temporary agreement between the United States and Iran intended to de-escalate their current conflict. The panel, including hosts and guests, expresses deep skepticism and concern regarding the deal's effectiveness and long-term implications.

Key Takeaways and Concerns:

• Nuclear Language: The panel highlights that the language regarding nuclear weapons in the new agreement is nearly identical to the 2015 JCPOA (the Obama-era deal that Donald Trump previously scrapped), which they argue contradicts the administration's earlier claims of being "tougher" on Iran (0:09-1:18, 4:54-5:33).
• Strait of Hormuz: While the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is seen as a positive development for the global economy, the panel warns that it is unlikely to remain "toll-free" or permanently open. They anticipate that Iran will begin charging fees after the initial 60-day window and could potentially use the strait as leverage in future crises (1:22-1:30, 2:44-2:51, 6:32-7:04).
• Regime Strength: The panel argues that the conflict has left Iran with a more hardened, radical, and enraged leadership. They suggest that the regime is now further away from the systemic change that may have been possible before the war, and that the US now appears weaker in the region (1:32-1:46, 5:56-6:13, 8:20-9:02).
• Financial Implications: There is significant concern regarding the potential for sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets, which the panel fears will financially bolster the Revolutionary Guard and provide funds for reconstruction, effectively strengthening a regime that remains hostile to US interests (1:55-2:18, 7:45-8:15, 9:59-10:20).

Conclusion: Ultimately, the panel characterizes the agreement as "thin" and lacking substantive, verifiable commitments. They conclude that the deal is a net defeat for the United States, as it leaves Iran in a stronger position than it held before the conflict began (2:56-3:03, 4:11-4:20, 10:00-11:15).
