Covering Up

June 17, 2026The details of the 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran are revealed, It has a lot of firm language, most of it seemingly granting Iran everything it wanted, The MOU commits the US and its “allies” to stop military operations on all fronts, The US will terminate sanctions against Iran and lift the blockade of Iranian ports, Iran will use “best efforts” to support safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, Language suggesting Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon does not include a process to enforce the promise, The war against Iran has cost lives and treasure for the US, Iran, and other countries around the world, Iran is claiming victory, while the US has come away with nothing, Trump seems prepared to blame J. D. Vance if the MOU doesn't work out, MAGA supporters of the Iran War are furious about the "deal," Trump dines at Versailles, and, in an awkward historical twist, signs the MOU while there.Watch today's recording here: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-">https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-</a>Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: <a target="_blank" href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe">https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe</a>You can also find me:Bluesky: <a target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.social</a>Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=en</a>Facebook: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/">https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/</a>YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson">https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson</a> Get full access to Letters from an American at <a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe</a>
