So both countries releasing the same text of the agreement.

Therefore, you can't be certain really of anything, but you can be highly persuaded.

You can consider it overwhelmingly likely that this document is real.

At least as of right now, this MOU is real.

14 points to be signed on Friday.

It's pretty short, and it's worth reading at least in part because it tells you everything, not just about how this war might end, it's not ended yet, but how it could end.

But it tells you even more about the relative place of the United States and Iran in the global order going forward.

And it's really kind of an amazing document.

And to get right to the point, you can see why neocons are upset.

I mean, they have cause to be upset.

Not taking their side, but just being honest here, wow.

Here's part of what it says.

Paragraph one, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war by signing this MOU declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, comma, including Lebanon and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon.

The final deal will confirm with permanent termination of war on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Okay, so that's the first paragraph of the agreement.

Israel is not mentioned, but Lebanon is mentioned three times.

Lebanon?

What does Lebanon have to do with this war?

Well, strictly speaking, nothing.

And when it began on February 28th, we were told by the administration this was purely about disarming Iran and preventing this rogue terror state from getting a nuclear weapon, which would be prima facie a threat to the world.
