U.S., Japan, and South Korea discuss denuclearization of North Korea in Tokyo meeting ift.tt/52CVlG7

NYP: Iran would be required to take concrete steps toward denuclearization in exchange for phased sanctions relief from the U.S.

After Xi's North Korea Visit, Is China Leveraging the Nuclear Buffer Against the US? Chinese leader Xi Jinping just left North Korea. He called for military cooperation and praised socialist solidarity. He never once mentioned denuclearization.

Sharp analysis. As long as Iran keeps control of its 60% enriched uranium, any deal is just buying time and sanctions relief to fund proxies. Real denuclearization isn't on the table.

Key is verifiable no-nukes. History shows paper agreements fail without real inspections enforcement. Hope this leads to actual denuclearization, not just kicking the can. Peace through strength tech oversight beats war.

This is the right approach. Keep the pressure on. US forces stay until Iran actually dismantles its nuclear program — not another Obama-style “deal” where they just pause, get billions, and restart later. The damage already done gives Trump leverage. Iran is weak right now. Use it to force real, verifiable denuclearization instead of another temporary paper agreement that lets them buy time.

There’s no possibility of good faith negotiations with the IRGC for the simple reason that they have no interest in denuclearization because they know it would mean the end of their regime. Negotiations will be used exclusively to pocket concessions and buy time for them to arm.

A #Magat telling me I’m easily fooled 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤔🤣🤔🤣🤔🤣 Denuclearization of N. Korea Mexico paid for the wall Ukraine war stopped day one Fuel prices down day one Grocery/Egg prices down day one Pedophiles exposed No new war Like I said, a cult of retards 🥴🥴

You DO know we were negotiating with Iran on 28 February, right? EVERYONE at the table — facilitator included — was blindsided by this war. Real progress had actually been made in terms of denuclearization. THAT was the alternative.

Firstly we don't know the exact parameters of whatever denuclearization is part of the agreement. Secondly Iran wasn't pursuing nuclear weapons before. They maintained 60% enrichment for decades- precisely why bibi has been giving the "2 weeks away" pitch for 30 years. It's a doctrine known as nuclear latency. We will see if getting the 60% enrichment materials out is part of the deal. But yes we very well could have negotiated for just that without war.

The indictment writes itself. Goal: regime change. Result: regime intact. Denuclearization: uranium booby-trapped. Hormuz: Iran controls it. Unconditional surrender: $324 billion and a party. Verdict: not guilty of winning.

Jd Vance just confirmed that Iran can get this if they agree to the “denuclearization agreement”

Here's what happened when I pasted this post into grok: Trump did not wage a full-scale "Iran War" during his first term (2017-2021). The premise appears to conflate his first-term policies (sanctions and the 2020 Soleimani strike) with the 2026 U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran during his second term. I'll break this down factually based on available evidence. en.wikipedia.org 1 First Term (No Major War)Key action: January 3, 2020, U.S. drone strike killed IRGC-Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani near Baghdad. This followed Iranian-backed attacks on U.S. forces/embassy. Iran retaliated with missiles injuring U.S. troops but no deaths; de-escalation followed. en.wikipedia.org No invasion or prolonged conflict: This was a targeted strike, not a "war." U.S. casualties and costs were limited compared to Iraq/Afghanistan. Maximum pressure campaign: Withdrew from 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal, imposed sanctions on Iran's oil exports, economy, and officials. Goal: Force better nuclear deal and curb regional proxies/terrorism. Achievements claimed by supporters: Weakened Iran's economy and funding for proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, militias in Iraq/Syria). Abraham Accords (2020): Normalized Israel-UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan ties — a diplomatic win isolating Iran regionally. en.wikipedia.org Deterred immediate major attacks on U.S. personnel post-Soleimani. Soleimani's death disrupted IRGC operations; he was a key architect of Iran's asymmetric warfare. Criticisms (aligning with query premises):Iran enriched uranium closer to weapons-grade levels after the strike/deal withdrawal (though no bomb by 2021). Short-term rally-around-the-flag effect in Iran; hardliners gained. No new nuclear deal; tensions persisted. brookings.edu No credible evidence of "$60 billion extra fuel costs" or major U.S. military depletion tied to first-term Iran actions. Oil prices fluctuated due to broader factors (COVID, etc.).2026 Iran Conflict (Second Term)This matches the query's scale: U.S.-Israel strikes began ~Feb 28, 2026 ("Operation Epic Fury"), involving airstrikes on nuclear sites, military assets, and leadership (including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei). It followed buildup, Israeli actions, and failed talks. A ceasefire/deal emerged by mid-June 2026, with Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, limits on enrichment, etc. en.wikipedia.org 1 Costs (partially validating premises):Fuel/economic: Reports cite $40-60 billion in extra U.S. consumer costs from disrupted oil (Strait blockade, higher gas/jet fuel prices, ~$200-450/household). Global ripple effects. alaska-native-news.com 1 Military depletion: Significant munitions use (e.g., interceptors, strikes), aircraft/asset losses (F-15s, drones, radars), and strain on stocks needed for China/Pacific contingencies. Estimates: Billions in first weeks alone. americanprogress.org 1 Iranian regime: Khamenei's death led to his son Mojtaba's succession; reports of harder-line IRGC influence and short-term rally effect. Not clearly "more moderate." wsj.com What was achieved (per U.S./Trump claims and outcomes):Nuclear/military degradation: Strikes damaged enrichment sites (Natanz, Fordow), missile/naval assets, and leadership. Set back nuclear program (months to years, per varying assessments); destroyed much of surface navy and some manufacturing. cfr.org Strait reopened deal: Ceasefire included Iran lifting blockade, U.S. ending its own, and talks on nuclear/sanctions. Oil flows resumed; markets rallied. Trump framed as "victory" with objectives met (no full regime change pursued long-term). pbs.org Regional: Further isolation of Iran; potential Abraham Accords expansion push. Proxies (Hezbollah, etc.) degraded indirectly. Deterrence signal: Demonstrated U.S. willingness for direct action post-protests/nuclear concerns. Limitations/criticisms: High human/economic costs on all sides (thousands dead, infrastructure damage). Iran retains missiles, HEU stocks, proxy networks; regime survived and may harden. Strategic trade-offs: Munitions depleted for other threats; alliances strained. americanprogress.org No permanent regime change or full denuclearization. Overall Evaluation Trump's Iran approach emphasized "maximum pressure" targeted force over the JCPOA diplomacy. First term: Tactical wins (Soleimani, Accords) at cost of escalation risks and no deal. 2026: Short, intense campaign achieved military degradation and a limited agreement reopening oil flows, but at verified economic (~$60B consumer hit) and military readiness costs. Iran is weaker militarily/nuclear-wise short-term but not fundamentally transformed; the regime's ideology persists or hardened. npr.org Whether this was "worth it" depends on metrics: Supporters see prevented nuclear breakout and restored deterrence. Critics see unnecessary costs and transient gains. History shows Iran policies are hard—containment, sanctions, and alliances have long constrained it without easy resolution. Outcomes remain evolving as of mid-2026.

None of this is true, at least on its face. Iran will be required to complete certain steps to denuclearization in exchange for sanctions relief. Watch how the narratives spin as the US and Iran continue to keep the MOU’s text — which was digitally signed — out of public eye.

"Why can't Iran have nuclear weapons?" Lukashenko discussed the situation in the Middle East, nuclear weapons, and the Strait of Hormuz. He added that justice would be total denuclearization of the world, "but if it's a deterrent factor then Iran has the right, like other countries, to have nuclear weapons for its own protection."

So what? Trump also destroyed most of Iran's military equipment and whole navy, blocked their ability to sell oil and Iran is in a really bad place and will be for a long time. He's trying to get a deal on denuclearization and peace in the region, not genocide them.

Oh, shut the front door. Mark Levin commenting on a 2 min video, where Vance **clearly explains** why this isn’t just a give. It’s important to note what lran **has to do** in order to achieve those reconstruction funds. Like denuclearization, like inspections.
