What exactly does a ‘deal with Iran’ look like?

 The headline: “U.S.-Iran peace deal could be finalized ‘in the next 24 hours,’ Pakistan’s PM says.”

The article does not identify who would perform the electronic signing for Iran.  There appear to be four possible Iranian power centers that could sign. 

1. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are the guys with most of Iran’s best weapons.  They are still proclaiming maximal Iranian goals, so not them. 
2. The regular Iranian Army.  They seem to be invisible in matters of governance and foreign affairs, so not them. 
3. Iran’s supreme leader, its ayatollah, who has absolute, dictatorial control over Iran, and who also keeps proclaiming Iran’s maximal goals.  So not him.
4. Iran’s civil government leaders, who appear to be those actually participating in negotiations.  They have no weapons and, apparently little real authority in military and foreign affairs.  But they appear to be the only option for Iranian signatures. 

So America will be signing a deal with an Iranian “government” that has neither weapons nor internal political power.  It’s like signing a deal with a king’s palace housekeeper. 

And of course, this can easily become a non-deal that never happens, again. 

Even if Iran’s powerless government signs a deal, it doesn’t matter.  This deal will collapse from Iranian violations within days. 

Why?  Because Iran’s ayatollah doesn’t want it, and the IRGC that doesn’t want it will keep using its weapons to protect its Hezb’allah proxy in Lebanon, to enforce control over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and to sporadically lob missiles and drones at its neighbors and U.S. military bases and forces. 

Iran will, however, use the electronically signed “deal” as a propaganda club in Western media to shame any U.S. retaliations against Iranian violations. 

It’s not as though we can’t see all of this coming.  The entire history of American dealings with Islamic nations and terrorists keeps repeating — again and again and again. 

We will, once again, have been suckered into a deal with an Islamic enemy that knows it earn virgins and a place in Allah’s heaven for lying to non-Muslims to advance the cause of Islam. 

What MAGAns cannot understand is why Trump would even try to make a deal with our deadly enemies, knowing they are liars and cheats who break any deal if it advances Islam. 

All that MAGAns can hope is that Trump will then quit nattering on about deals and smash the hell out of the IRGC and Iran’s fanatical, world conquest–seeking mullahs. 

If Trump does not act quickly and decisively against Iranian violations, we will witness the collapse of his second term, Republicans losing the midterm elections, significant demoralization within the MAGA movement. 

That’s what a BAD deal looks like.

So, Mr. President, will you finally act to win victory over Iran when it openly betrays your trust, or will you flush your MAGA movement support down the toilet while Iran exerts its dominance over the Middle East?
