As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media.

The council also said the US has recognized its continued control over the Strait of Hormuz. The council said controlled passage through the waterway would be carried out “in coordination with Iran’s armed forces,” according to the statement reported by state media.

So basically, the U.S. spent a shitload of money bombing Iran so that it could lift sanctions on Iran and leave them with a stranglehold over 20% of the worlds oil supply. Typical Trump "win".

Don't forget weakened the US military by shooting a lot of their stockpiled precision missiles. Missiles they Bought over years but burnt up in days

I think its a ploy for defense contracts. Like a clearing out old inventory to get new stuff. Watch they said they need to spend tons of money on new missiles so they cant afford something
