> what did the US gain out of this

Market manipulation and the media largely forgetting about a certain set of files that reference many people in powerful positions.

What is even the point of all the flip flopping if there’s ongoing talks? I feel like the doesn’t put any real pressure on Iran, but I may be uninformed.

All he does is flip flop. Was the same with tariffs against everyone last year - he kept backing off at the last moment.

Source? Do you seriously think the US just agreed to accept Iranian nuclear enrichment?

I wonder why this post is worthy of staying on the HN front page but all the articles about Trump's threats that "A whole civilization will die tonight" got flag killed. I guess the president making genocidal threats isn't "interesting" enough to meet HN's moderation standards.

I think this 10 point plan drops the need for US to pay reparations instead relying on transit fees which will be split with Oman.

Missiles are still flying so it’s hard to say who has really agreed to what.

I’ve heard rumors that Iran has agreed to dilute its highly enriched uranium so maybe the US could count that as a win. Given they’ve demonstrated sufficient conventional deterrence they may feel that they don’t need the nukes, especially if they can get some sort of Chinese backed security guarantee. But that might be a trial balloon or wishful thinking.

Fox News is still singing in chorus about the billion dollars payment to Iran by Obama.
