The initial goal for the French president was reportedly modest: to prevent Trump from disengaging from the proceedings, a feat that would have been considered a win in itself. However, Macron evidently exceeded these expectations, managing to shift Trump’s perspective and secure a renewed commitment for military aid to Kyiv.

While hailed as a peaceful resolution, the deal leaves the United States in a weaker position, empowering a regime it sought to isolate. The agreement’s central nuclear provision essentially restates Iran’s existing stance, deferring complex decisions and offering only vague commitments, while Tehran gains significant relief from oil sanctions.

Following his return from France, Donald Trump launched a social media attack on critics of the Iran deal he recently signed. He labeled opponents of the memorandum of understanding as “fools,” attributing their criticism to jealousy, malice, or ignorance, and pointed to economic indicators like record stock market highs and falling oil prices as evidence of his successful foreign policy.
