    Two sections related to Iran from Trump's interview today

    Full text of these sections:
    https://telegra.ph/trump-06-19

    Some sentences from the same text:
    Trump: And I killed the Ayatollah. There was also a Revolutionary Guard official. And unfortunately, I seriously harmed another Ayatollah. Let me tell you, I didn't meet him, I didn't talk to him, but others were talking about him. He has a special courage because he has been severely harmed.

    Despite all this, you can't say forget it. I destroyed their army. I don't want that to be overlooked.

    For those who say maybe I didn't go hard enough, I have to say I destroyed their army. I took out their biggest bridge because they were late to a meeting. They said that wasn't a very nice thing to do. I said the George Washington Bridge? I destroyed it in three minutes. I hit Khark, everything, except one thing. I said don't touch the pipes because I don't want to harm the world economy.

    So I think we were very tough. Don't listen to those who say it could have been tougher. Their entire army is gone.

    Interviewer: How is regime change when Khamenei is still younger and many of the Revolutionary Guard officials are still there?

    Because they are different people. The younger Khamenei is different from his father. There are people who are much less radical than the previous two groups; and I knew both of the previous groups.
    But think about this: all of them are gone. Then they say why didn't you go harder? The only way I could have gone harder is if I had come in two or three weeks later and bombed them heavily. But what does that get us? The Strait of Hormuz wouldn't remain open. Suppose I did that. Suppose I decided to do that. Right now, our stock market is doing incredibly well. Oil prices are falling. Oil prices are almost where they were before I started. The big difference is that Iran will never have nuclear weapons. They will never have nuclear weapons, clear? It's very clear and simple.

    Do you know that in the past two months, I was taking many ships out of there and no one knew? Do you know why they didn't know? Because we took out their radar. We hit all their defensive equipment. They were unable to see. Last week, one night we had 25 ships, one night 22 ships, one night 19 ships, one night 21 ships. Every night, all these ships were going out.

    Iranians are very smart people. They have a kind of primitive genius, but they are smart. I mean, I had to stop them because if they had nuclear weapons, they would use them. Would you want to see that? Let them blow up a few cities somewhere? For example, they would blow up Israel.

    If it weren't for me, Israel wouldn't exist today. Because I canceled Barack Hussein Obama's deal, the JCPOA; a deal that was a pathway to nuclear weapons. They had reached that five years ago. In my opinion, they would have used it in the first week. Israel would no longer be with us. If I hadn't done that, Israel would have been gone years ago.

    ♦️ Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in an interview with the "Axios Show," defended his decision to initiate military operations in Iran, describing the officials of the Islamic Republic as "very smart" and "primitive geniuses," while warning that they are also very unpredictable.

    Trump, referring to the recent military intervention by the United States, said: "I had to take action to stop them; because if they had nuclear weapons, they would definitely use them and create real chaos by blowing up several cities, including in Israel."

    He emphasized that if it weren't for his action to withdraw from the JCPOA, Israel would have been destroyed years ago, considering the Obama-era agreement as a pathway for the Islamic Republic of Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. Trump also expressed surprise at the timing of the confrontation with Iran, adding: "What surprised me was that they waited so long. They waited for me to come back to power; of course, this was not intentional on their part. No one, even with the weapon-making government structure against me, thought I would return, but I came back with a bigger roar than before."

    Ismail Baqai, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, rejected the Islamic Republic's invitation to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to come to Iran and inspect nuclear facilities on Friday.

    He stated, "Inspections of facilities where the Agency's access was halted due to military attacks will depend on the negotiation process and its outcome."

    Earlier, JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, mentioned in an interview with NBC following the recent agreement that, based on the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, IAEA inspectors will "definitely" return to Iran.

    Ismail Baqai also mentioned that they are planning to hold a meeting in the coming days.

    The meeting between representatives of Iran and the United States, which was scheduled to take place on Friday in Switzerland, has been canceled.

    The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry announced, "Considering that the signing of the memorandum text was done digitally in the early hours of June 18, holding the aforementioned meeting in Switzerland is not urgent."

    He also deemed reports about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as "baseless" and stated that shipping in this route is ongoing.

    The former official related to Iran sanctions on the "300 billion dollar fund": Its prerequisite is the lifting of all sanctions, which does not have an on/off switch.

    Miad Maleki, the former director of the "Office of Sanctions Targeting at the U.S. Treasury," writes in a note about the "300 billion dollar fund" for Iran, which many experts have expressed doubts about: Setting aside the issue of oil exemptions/permits and concerns regarding the lack of new sanctions, considering the requirements for the actual implementation of Clause 6 (the 300 billion dollar reconstruction fund) and Clause 7 (lifting all sanctions), we conclude that the American negotiators either knew that a final agreement was impossible, or this memorandum of understanding merely postpones decision-making to the future.

    Maleki, who himself played a role in designing sanctions against the Iranian government, writes in this note: This is what "full implementation" practically requires, beyond nuclear concessions:
    Clause 6 — The 300 billion dollar fund:
    Issuance of a presidential exemption from mandatory sanctions on Iran's construction sector under Section 1245 of the IFCA (180-day renewable exemptions that require notification to Congress each period).
    Removing the IRGC from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO), as otherwise, investors would face the risk of criminal liability due to "material support," and no permit would resolve this issue.
    Utilizing a national interest-based exemption under the ISA (Iran Sanctions Act) for investment in the energy and oil sector.
    As a result, no investment entity is willing to commit billions of dollars based on renewable six-month exemptions.

    Clause 7 — Lifting all sanctions:
    Section 104 of the CISADA (Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act) does not grant the President exemption authority; sanctions are mandatory, and their lifting requires the passage of new legislation in Congress.
    Section 1245 of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) provides for 120-day renewable exemptions that require mandatory reporting to Congress each period.
    Designating Iran's financial sector as a "money laundering concern" under Section 311 of the Patriot Act: This requires separate regulation by the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and cannot be resolved solely through the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
    Sanctions related to terrorism, human rights, and overlaps with the Russia case: Each requires independent and separate legal actions.
    Maleki continues: "Lifting all sanctions" is not an on/off switch, but a multi-year project in the realm of legislation and regulation, and Congress also has a vote in this matter. The question arises as to how to compel the European Union to lift the restrictions related to Iran that were imposed in the context of the Russia cases.

    The Haaretz newspaper wrote in an analysis that Donald Trump's agreement with the Islamic Republic, contrary to Benjamin Netanyahu's expectations, not only did not strengthen his political position but also created an unprecedented rift between Washington and Tel Aviv, putting the Israeli Prime Minister in a new crisis on the eve of elections.

    Haaretz noted that Netanyahu hoped Trump's visit to Israel and the public support of the U.S. President would be his most significant advantage in the upcoming elections. According to the newspaper, Netanyahu expected this visit to take place after a "complete victory" over the Islamic Republic, the fall of the Iranian regime, and the transfer of enriched uranium reserves. However, now none of these goals have been achieved, and Trump criticizes the Israeli Prime Minister almost daily with humiliating remarks. Haaretz added that the U.S.-Islamic Republic agreement is widely regarded in Israel as "catastrophic," as Trump has ended the war without achieving the declared objectives, contrary to his initial promises.

Jean-Noël Barrot announced this on Friday, June 18. France is one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

    Barrot stated that stability in the region will not be established as long as U.S. negotiations with Iran do not address the ambiguities related to the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile program and Tehran's support for proxy forces. He added, "We need a fundamental change in Iran's approach."

They are caught in repression on one side and bombs are being dropped on them from the other. We do not forget the January massacre, where state violence indiscriminately targeted peaceful protesters."

    Following the announcement from the White House regarding the cancellation of Donald Trump's deputy's trip to Switzerland, the foreign ministry of this European country officially confirmed the cancellation of the American delegation's trip and the cancellation of negotiations between Tehran and Washington on Friday.

    The immediate cancellation of negotiations between the two hostile countries occurs just one day after the signing and formalization of an agreement, one of the most important clauses of which grants a 60-day opportunity for negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear activities. This 60-day period was supposed to begin immediately on Friday.

    However, the Tasnim news agency, close to the Revolutionary Guards, reported on Thursday that Iranian negotiators need to see signs of the temporary agreement being implemented by the U.S. before the next round of peace talks begins, and there is still no confirmation regarding the Iranian delegation's trip to Geneva.

    Following the release of this news, the White House spokesperson also stated in a statement published on Thursday night that Vance and the American delegation were ready to depart as soon as the negotiation schedule was finalized.

    He made these remarks in response to a question about the difference between his previous demand for "unconditional surrender" and the terms of the memorandum.
