Trump pulls rug from underneath Iran with surprise change to tentative peace deal

President Donald Trump faced a wave of scrutiny for agreeing to lift sanctions on Iran and unfreeze Iranian funds as part of the tentative peace deal between Washington and Tehran, but on Tuesday, the president announced a new detail regarding the agreement, one that could risk jeopardizing peace talks going forward.“The Money and/or Sanctions that the U.S. Treasury is releasing goes into escrow, controlled by the U.S.A., and will be used for the purchase of food and medical supplies, exclusively from the United States, including Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans from our great American Farmers,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “These are things that are desperately needed by Iran. This is a humanitarian crisis, and I feel it is necessary to help, NOW, before it is too late. Talks are going well!”There is no mention in the 14-point memorandum of understanding of unfrozen Iranian funds or sanction relief being controlled by the United States. On the contrary, point 11 states that the United States would “make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the implementation of this MOU.”

US-Iran ‘hot war’ still very possible amid peace talk fractures

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says a “hot war” between the US and Iran is still not off the cards. ​US President Donald Trump's peace negotiations have hit a roadblock following his threats towards Iran over its influence in Lebanon. ​Talks have been paused, but the Iranians remain in Switzerland. ​“We are no closer to peace than we were 24 hours ago,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. ​“There are a lot of things that we said could go wrong, and it looks like some of them are,” he said. ​“There is tremendous pressure from various sides against the president. ​“It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they recall JD Vance and we end up in an uncomfortable ceasefire and maybe even a hot war.”

— NEW: The Trump administration may lack legal standing to waive US sanctions on Iranian oil under last week’s agreement, but is moving ahead regardless, Semafor reports. The Obama-era Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act bars the president from waiving Iran sanctions while Congress reviews any nuclear-related agreement. Trump’s Office of Legal Counsel drafted a memo concluding sanctions can be temporarily lifted without Congress, per VP JD Vance. Harvard Law’s Jack Goldsmith says the administration likely lacks the authority, but any legal challenge is “likely to fail” for lack of standing. A former Treasury official cautioned full sanctions unwinding and US firms entering Iran’s market remains far off, requiring complex legal changes and private-sector buy-in​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.@IntelSlava

Earlier this month, when asked by KOA talk radio host Mandy Connell for his thoughts on the war in Iran, Rep.
