Trump's 'Better' Deal with Iran Looks Like Obama's

Trump’s ‘Better’ Deal with Iran Looks Like Obama’s
July 17, 2019 at 2:48 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Politico: “Trump has repeatedly urged Iran to engage in negotiations with him, while saying that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions are his chief concern … His aides and allies, meanwhile, have recently suggested that Iran and other countries should follow the guidelines of a deal they themselves have shunned as worthless.”

“At times, analysts and former officials say, it sounds like Trump wants to strike a deal that essentially mirrors the agreement that his White House predecessor inked — even if he’d never be willing to admit it. Iranian officials seem willing to egg him on. … The administration’s confusing messaging is a result of warring between two major factions, U.S. officials say, with Trump in his own separate lane.”

I don't see Bibi and the RW Israelis going along with that (unless they get something else in return.)
