The long-awaited Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States was electronically signed on June 14, Donald Trump¡¯s 80th birthday.
Two days later, even as the Group of Seven leaders in Evian, France ¡°supported¡± the MOU, the document had not yet been made public.?The full text was finally ¡°orally read¡± to the media shortly thereafter. As I read it, I felt it was no MOU at all but rather a ¡°memorandum of misunderstanding.¡±
I have good reason to say so since Axios reported that the CIA Director had told the president that the agency¡¯s intelligence ¡°raised serious doubts about Iran¡¯s willingness to make the nuclear concessions.¡± If the president was aware of this, then this document must be a ¡°memorandum of deliberate misunderstanding.¡±
