If you kept this going, that could have happened,\u201d Trump said Wednesday, in seeking to explain what critics see as a deeply flawed agreement to end the war.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s comment, in France, was a revealing moment. It shows how, under political pressure, he often grasps for short-term advantage over the long-term strategic grind. And it underscores his reverence for the wisdom of the markets, which he said were \u201cmore brilliant\u201d than any of his advisers \u201cother than me, of course.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Trump\u2019s embrace of a peace plan that one Republican senator warned had Ronald Reagan \u201crolling over in his grave\u201d risks weakening the US position going into critical 60-day talks that could define Iran\u2019s nuclear destiny.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The agreement, designed to pave the way to those meetings, seems to cede almost all US leverage and hands Iran billions of dollars in revenues up front by waiving sanctions. It may therefore dent Trump\u2019s self-conjured mystique as the world\u2019s great dealmaker \u2014 which lifted him from reality TV to the White House.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            So why did he make it?\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rescue workers search for bodies in the rubble of a residential building following a hit in an airstrike in the early hours of March 27, in Tehran, Iran.\" class=\"wp-image-3011\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/060ade230fff54202b1c8049b8c3fba3.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/060ade230fff54202b1c8049b8c3fba3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/060ade230fff54202b1c8049b8c3fba3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Rescue workers search for bodies in the rubble of a residential building following a hit in an airstrike in the early hours of March 27, in Tehran, Iran.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Majid Saeedi\/Getty Images\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The president tried to bomb Iran into submission for weeks. He issued dire threats to destroy its civilization. And when diplomacy stalled, he sent US bombers and missiles back aloft last week.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But in his epiphany about the cost of the war, he might finally have found what he\u2019s been looking for almost since launching the conflict in February: a way out.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sometimes, amid his cacophony, Trump produces candor that is rare in a president.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After the G7 summit, Wednesday, he confided that he\u2019d studied how the stock market \u201cshot up like a rocket ship\u201d every time he spoke of possible peace with Iran and then would dip \u201cvery, very big\u201d when headlines augured against a deal.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe one president I did not want to be was the late, great Herbert Hoover,\u201d he said, referring to the 20th-century commander in chief blamed for the Great Depression that wiped out investors and pitched millions of Americans into destitution.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The blowback from the Iran war hasn\u2019t been as extreme, and the US economy remains robust. But the war sent gasoline prices soaring, helping to spike inflation, and its consequences appeared certain to deepen quickly.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s approval ratings, meanwhile, have dropped into the 30s, and the economic fallout from the war made him seem even more oblivious to the affordability crisis stalking many voters \u2014 which he again on Wednesday blasted as a smear campaign by Democrats.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        The potentially grave strategic consequences of Trump\u2019s Iran agreement\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s reasoning for ending the war is remarkable in many ways.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It will embolden critics who believe that the president often designed his various statements about the war  \u2014 especially early in the week \u2014 to create a reaction on the stock market and to lower oil prices.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            More seriously, his admission appeared to validate Iran\u2019s strategic insight that the cost of the conflict would be more than Americans could bear once an initial US and Israeli aerial onslaught settled into a stalemate. This means Tehran\u2019s new trump card \u2014 the capacity to shut down oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 just got even more powerful.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Residents swim in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz as a small motorboat passes cargo ships and other commercial vessels offshore near Bandar Abbas, Iran, Wednesday, June 17.\" class=\"wp-image-3012\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/23139ff059b270cdc6c26ea56acdab64.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/23139ff059b270cdc6c26ea56acdab64.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/23139ff059b270cdc6c26ea56acdab64-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Residents swim in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz as a small motorboat passes cargo ships and other commercial vessels offshore near Bandar Abbas, Iran, Wednesday, June 17.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Amirhosein Khorgooi\/ISNA\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Trump warned Wednesday that if Iran didn\u2019t live up to its side of the agreement, he\u2019d \u201cdrop bombs on their head.\u201d But a relentless weekslong air war didn\u2019t bring about regime change or force the Islamic Republic into a deal that favors Washington. So it may logically conclude Trump wouldn\u2019t risk stock market routs and oil price hikes to enforce his demands. And a threat to bomb Iran again seems to be a contravention of the first clause of the memorandum of understanding (MOU), which bars the US from using \u201cthe threat or use of force against each other.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2997\">Federal Trade Commission sues leading transgender health group<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Earlier in the conflict, the president seemed susceptible to critiques of Republican senators who feared he\u2019d gone soft on Iran. But with the MOU signed, it will be harder for him to back out or change its terms.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The problem is not that Trump is wrong to end the war. If the fighting stops now, many American and Iranian lives may be saved. And an easing of economic fallout would make a measurable difference to the lives of many working Americans.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But there\u2019s a big reason why some Republicans are so critical \u2014 including former Vice President Mike Pence, who on Tuesday told CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins the emerging agreement felt like \u201cappeasement.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            By paying such a high price to stop the fighting, Trump is effectively sending a message, not just to Iran but to other adversaries, that Washington\u2019s resolve in military conflicts can be undermined if they find ways to turn up political heat through economic warfare.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He also appears to have abandoned Iranians after assuring them at the war\u2019s beginning that it offered their \u201conly chance for generations\u201d to overthrow their brutal government. In a huge concession to Tehran, the memorandum commits both the United States and Iran to \u201crefrain from interfering in each other\u2019s internal affairs.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump might have tied not only his own hands, but those of his successors.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n<strong>A rambling news conference <\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"US President Donald Trump delivers remarks as he attends a bilateral meeting with the UAE's president during the G7 summit in Evian, eastern France, on June 16.\" class=\"wp-image-3013\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1cde3977bfff4b15f5e9fb633569a054.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1cde3977bfff4b15f5e9fb633569a054.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1cde3977bfff4b15f5e9fb633569a054-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>US President Donald Trump delivers remarks as he attends a bilateral meeting with the UAE&#8217;s president during the G7 summit in Evian, eastern France, on June 16.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Mandel Ngan\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Trump insisted after the G7 summit in France on Wednesday that the agreement would end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He\u2019s placing a huge bet on a familiar assurance by Iran that it won\u2019t seek a nuclear bomb that has previously been undermined by its enriching of uranium close to weapons-grade levels.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He also argued that his Iran policy needed to be judged across his two terms. He claimed that his decision to assassinate Iran\u2019s security chief Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad in January 2020 had changed history. And he posited that the US bombing runs against Iran\u2019s nuclear sites last year took the threat of a bomb off the table.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The president has a point about the strategic impact of his previous Iran policy. But if he\u2019d solved the problem already, why did he launch a new war?\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And not for the first time, Trump seemed to lose his grip on his Iran narrative in a rambling news conference. Most bewilderingly, after previously demanding \u201cunconditional surrender,\u201d he implied that Tehran was justified in wanting to have a missile program like its regional rivals.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And he offered more comfort to Iran by saying he didn\u2019t see the 60-day timeline as a \u201chard deadline.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump are silhouetted behind a window ahead of a dinner commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, at the Palace of Versailles, near Paris, France, on Wednesday, June 17.\" class=\"wp-image-3014\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/f828c89f97a004ed766ce70934cc9f63.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/f828c89f97a004ed766ce70934cc9f63.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/f828c89f97a004ed766ce70934cc9f63-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump are silhouetted behind a window ahead of a dinner commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States&#8217; independence, at the Palace of Versailles, near Paris, France, on Wednesday, June 17.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Evelyn Hockstein\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            In another odd twist, Trump signed a copy of the MOU at the Palace of Versailles and sent a photo to the Iranians.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s signed,\u201d Trump said. \u201cSigned it in Versailles, I just signed it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            His theatrical flourish will only reinforce the sense he believes the optics of an agreement are at least as important as what is in it.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And it raises this question: What if the signed MOU doesn\u2019t usher in the more intense diplomacy that everyone expects \u2014 but instead is seen by Trump as establishing a new status quo that allows him to take a one-way exit ramp out of his entire Iran misadventure?\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2993\">The 14-point US-Iran peace plan, annotated<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did Trump sign the Iran MOU?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
