President Trump says his Iran deal gets signed tomorrow on his birthday, and he is drawing a hard line between it and the Obama-era nuclear agreement.In a Truth Social post, the President called Barack Obama’s JCPOA “an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon” and said his own agreement is the opposite, what he labeled “A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON.” He claims Iran no longer wants a nuclear weapon and will not have one through purchase, development, or any other means.According to the post, the moment the deal is signed the Strait of Hormuz reopens to all shipping traffic. That waterway carries roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and gas, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said Americans could see relief at the pump if the standoff ends.The President also took a shot at the billions Obama sent Iran, including the 1.7 billion in cash, and said no money will change hands this time. He says that “at the appropriate time,” U.S. B-2 bombers and their pilots will help recover and destroy the enriched uranium, the so-called “Nuclear Dust,” buried under the mountains collapsed by the American strikes 11 months ago.Worth noting: Iranian state media has already pushed back, disputing whether the agreement actually requires a toll-free strait or the destruction of nuclear material, and reports point to frozen Iranian assets as a sticking point. The signing is set for Sunday. We will be watching.What do you think? Real deal, or campaign-style spin? Let us know below. ... See MoreSee Less
