Donald Trump is presenting his Iran deal as a major success.Kurt Volker, the former U.S.Ambassador to NATO under George W.Bush, told CNN the real story: it’s just a short-term solution that doesn’t really fix anything.
Volker didn’t hold back when talking to Boris Sanchez.
“It’s very temporary,” he said.”It doesn’t actually solve anything.It’s a temporary agreement to set up new talks.”
So what’s the real purpose?
Volker explained clearly: it’s about MONEY and LOOKS.”It’s meant to calm markets, lower prices, get shipping going again.The Iranians will get money from this.President Trump wants it to help the economy and bring down gas prices.”
In short, Trump started a war that made gas prices go up to $5 and $6 a gallon, hurt the markets, and messed up global shipping.
Now he’s making a short-term deal, giving Iran billions in money just to fix the economic mess he caused.And he’s calling it a win.
But here’s the part that should worry everyone.
According to Volker, none of the real dangerous problems are solved.”Iran will try very hard to keep its nuclear program, to keep storing enriched uranium, and they want to control the Strait of Hormuz going forward.”
Read that again.
After all the bombing, all the chaos, all the deaths — Iran STILL wants its nuclear program, STILL wants its enriched uranium, and now wants control over one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
This is what JD Vance is calling a brilliant move.
This is what Trump is bragging about.
A war he started — and a “deal” that solves nothing.
