Not since Sonny Corleone has anybody been as hot for a deal as President Trump is to strike an agreement with the Iranians. Over the past several months, by Trump’s telling, we have been days away from signing an amazing deal with the Iranians, only for nothing to ever come to fruition.
Noah detailed the latest claims from Iran about what is in the current deal — a totally implausible set of provisions of which Noah was rightly skeptical. Trump has already called the terms “fake” and is back to saying that the Iranians are not dealing in good faith, warning, “They better get their act together, and FAST!” Even in claiming a deal is close, the administration has been leaking terms that are completely incompatible relative to what’s coming out in Iran’s state-controlled media. To note just one among many, administration officials are telling reporters that the deal includes the dismantlement of the Iranian nuclear program, while Iran’s media has said that the current agreement includes nothing on the nuclear issue.
