If President Donald Trump OKs whatever Iran deal is before him, what will it mean?

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 — other than the implied threat that Washington will go back to war, or at least a total embargo, if Tehran backslides.

Other than a complete, unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s unlikely to see any complete, on-the-record list of each party’s obligations; Iran’s leaders don’t dare admit they’re doing everything our president demands.

Then again, even if the regime does commit on paper to giving up the enriched uranium, Iran has repeatedly proved its promises mean nothing.

E.g., the one in the 2015 Obama accord that Tehran “will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Or any of its other treaty commitments, dating back decades, to never pursue nuclear weapons.

Yes, Trump can and more than likely would do whatever it takes to make Iran give up its “nuclear dust,” allow regular inspections of its nuke facilities, etc.

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

Our nation will have a weak president again someday, no matter what: It’s how democracy works.

If Trump takes this deal, Americans will have to trust not only that Trump will ensure Iran lives up to it — including all commitments it refuses to make public — and that he has some plan to knock the Islamic Republic back even further than he already has, so that it’ll never be in a position to renege.
