🇺🇸 President Trump announced that Iran agreed to the Trump-Iran deal. 1. Blocks Iran from ever pursuing, procuring, or obtaining a nuclear weapon 2. Immediately opens the Strait of Hormuz 3. Lifts the US naval blockade 4. Opens up investments for the region President Trump was upset that Israel rocked Beirut right before the signing. He was ok that a rocket was fired at Israel "because it landed in an open area". Iran will always be a terror-supporting region, but good luck with that deal. It all comes from above anyway.
