You have to use a little common sense.’

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡— NEW: Some high-ranking government officials in Israel increasingly believe that members of the Trump administration are ‘secretly conspiring against Israel’ for antisemitic reasons, with the signing of the MoU being a part of that conspiracy – WSJ

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡— Note that Iran has not made any commitment not to enrich uranium. The absence of this commitment from the MoU is very telling. In fact, Trump made several comments today that implied Iran would be allowed to continue enrichment at low levels (likely 3.67% for civilian use). That would be extremely embarassing for the United States, considering that the official position during the Araqchi-Witkoff negotiations was ‘zero enrichment’ for 10-20 years.
