If President Donald Trump OKs whatever Iran deal is before him, what will it mean?<\/p>\n

Read more Hochul\u2019s budget \u2018victory\u2019 leaves New York trapped in a downward spiral<\/a><\/p>\n

What Trump and his team describe is very different from the accord the Iranians are publicly outlining, and no version seems to yet have clear enforcement provisions \u2014 other than the implied threat that Washington will go back to war, or at least a total embargo, if Tehran backslides.<\/p>\n

Other than a complete, unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the world\u2019s unlikely\u00a0to see any complete, on-the-record list of each party\u2019s obligations; Iran\u2019s leaders don\u2019t dare admit they\u2019re doing everything our president demands.<\/p>\n

Then again,\u00a0even if the regime does commit on paper to giving up the enriched uranium,\u00a0Iran has repeatedly proved its promises mean nothing.<\/p>\n

E.g., the one in the 2015 Obama accord that Tehran \u201cwill ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran\u2019s nuclear program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or any of its\u00a0other<\/em>\u00a0treaty commitments, dating back decades, to never pursue nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Yes, Trump can\u00a0and more than likely would\u00a0do whatever it takes to\u00a0make<\/em>\u00a0Iran give up its \u201cnuclear dust,\u201d allow regular inspections of its nuke facilities, etc.<\/p>\n

But he leaves the White House in January 2029; will a President Gavin Newsom (or even JD Vance) be as resolute?<\/p>\n

Our nation\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0have a weak president again someday, no matter what: It\u2019s how democracy works.<\/p>\n

If Trump takes this deal, Americans will have to trust not only that Trump will ensure Iran lives up to it \u2014 including all commitments it refuses to make public \u2014\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0that he has some plan to knock the Islamic Republic back even\u00a0further than he already has, so\u00a0that it\u2019ll\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0be in a position to renege.<\/p>\n
