The Daily · Did Iran Come Out on Top in the Peace Deal? · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

But that theory is always run into people.

the underlying reality that the country is run by a revolutionary government.

And there are many who think that it is their task to complete the 1979 revolution, which is fundamentally based on opposition to the United States.

And so the president himself in February, when he was arguing for regime change in

in Iran was basically making the case, you can't make a deal like this with the existing government.

Today, he wants you to believe that we can.

Well, there are two big ones, Natalie.

I mean, the first one is the memorandum basically declares what it calls permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.

And that basically is a rejection of Israel's concern about the threat posed by Hezbollah, which is, of course, the Iranian-funded and aligned militia group that's based in Lebanon.

And, of course, the Iranians wanted that language because now they have a way to pressure the United States over any future Israeli attacks on Lebanon and say they're a violation of the deal.

But not only, you know what strikes me the most about this agreement?

It's the stuff that's missing.

What do you mean by that?

Well, think about missiles, right?

There's no reference in the entire memorandum of understanding to opening a negotiation about missiles.

And yet that was one of President Trump's immediate goals when he announced the opening of a war on February 28th.

We heard Secretary of State Marco Rubio come back to it time and time again, saying the missile program protected the nuclear program.

and that Iran couldn't have missiles that can reach Israel.

And then yesterday in Europe, the president turns right around on this and says, well, of course they need missiles.

The Saudis have missiles.
