Can US sell its Gulf allies on a fragile Iran agreement?
Video Overview & Insights
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in the Persian Gulf region, looking to sell the US-Iran agreement to three countries likely to be among its biggest skeptics.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump claimed today that Iran has agreed to nuclear inspections into “infinity,” after Tehran denied making any new commitments following the talks. Also, a fresh round of talks between Israel and Lebanon is happening in Washington, DC, in an effort to end deadly fighting in Lebanon between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel.

I trust Rubio bc of the speech he made about Obama. He warned the masses that Iran would extort the world the way it has through the strait . Imagine if they had nukes?! Lunacy if anyone thinks it’s ok for them to be nuked up
@Jjj-gs5mbIran proved US can't defend the gulf states.
@watdefhocIts always interesting to watch Rubio attempt to square a circle as he tries to reconcile Trump's erraticism and lies with reality and truth.
@Thomas23-tu8gjWith all the new power and wealth Trump has decided to reward Iran with for their victory in the war, one would hope that Iran wouldn't use it to fast track a nuclear weapon and aim it at America for revenge and fun.
@Alcrow1459Little Marco and Jared the Jew??😂😂😂
@HideTheEpsteinFilesRight now USA just make regime iran loser in this war, B.T.W. lower sit obama lower status failuers same as lower sit biden lower status failuers in international policies badly!!!!🤣 Meanwhile USA to fight demonsrats, USA to fight iran satanic regime, USA to fight obama failuers & USA to fight biden incompetant...But of all USA & Israel Military Forces will destroy iran terrorist regime!!!!🤣 And Now Israel & USA Military Forces will make regime iran crisis & all middle east arab fall in to crisis too!!!!🤣
@akida1569Wonder bread Americans needs to turn the straight into hamburger hill. 😑
@ABoredTrollI'd have to say no they can't 😂
@ABSTRACTdude-u2rThe so-called "DEAL" is as fragile as the "State of Israel" makes it.
@fgfd3807We're fed up. The world is fed up. Every time there are elections in the United States, the rest of the world trembles. Who knows what madman they'll elect this time? If it's not Donald, it'll be Biden or... A worker in New Zealand is struggling to support his family because of the inflation caused by the crazy American in charge wanting his war. This has to stop, now.
@hammoumanou2058The media won’t change our mind. We don’t support Israel.
@LeekoJackIg Joe Rogan is reliable news now too 😊
@bobmcfundy4935We all need to come to the realization that, no matter what the United States or its allies do, Iran will continue to develop a nuclear program regardless of if it's public or top secrete and done within some far off cave walls somewhere or it's just plain given the necessary materials it will continue to develop a nuclear program and that's regardless of any agreement we put on paper or not.
Using absolute amateurs as negotiators is blatantly a unforced error on our part and there truly is no excuse for it!
We have people who do this and do this well, but because of tRUMP's inadequacies in his ability to make good solid decisions we end up with amateur hour at our own peril!
Let's take a step back and search for ANY decision that tRUMP has made that is /was in the best interest and benifit to the entirety of the citizenship of the United States...
Nuff said...
First 86-47 then remove Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and replace them with individuals with actual negotiating experience with other foreign countries, that have an education in foreign policy and constitutional law!
Just saying...
This Iran “deal”:
A disaster for the world — a victory for Iran!
1: Nothing to combat Iran’s terrorism.
2: Nothing to rein in Iran’s proxies in the Middle East.
3: Nothing that protects the Gulf states or Israel in the long term.
4: Nothing that prevents Iran from charging fees for the use of the Strait of Hormuz in the future.
5: Nothing to ensure freedom in Iran or to help the civilian population there.
6: Nothing that effectively curbs Iran’s nuclear ambitions (no inspections, no destruction of the material).
7: Instead, 300 billion (!) is being paid out to Iran.
8: Instead, Iran is being given the opportunity to rebuild its military in the medium and long term.
9: Instead, there is an immediate relief of sanctions.
10: Instead, the U.S. is losing all influence in the region.
Seriously?! Does Trump think we’re stupid?
Do the Gulf allies accept the Trump regimes agreement or the Iranian regimes agreement?
@rossevans1774Rascals r putting all kinds of unknown apps on my cell phone.

@billgates7386Please get Trump out before he begins WW3. Even if he is compromised by Epstein files, Netanyahu cannot blackmail him/USA if he retires due to health reasons.

@open_sourced_26A Sermon of Damnation: The Hypocrite of Florida and the Fires of Judgment
Brethren and sisters, gather your souls this day, for the Word of the Lord burns like coals against the unrighteous! Hearken unto the Scriptures, for they cry out against the modern Pharisees who prowl the halls of power, cloaking their iniquity in the garments of piety. Today we speak of Marco Rubio—the smooth-tongued son of ambition, the betrayer of principles, the servant of two masters whose ledger drips with the ink of self-dealing and deceit!
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” (Matthew 23:13). Thus saith the Lord Jesus to the religious pretenders of His day, and thus He thunders against Rubio! For this man hath built his house upon the sand of political expediency. He spoke of exile and valor, weaving tales of his parents fleeing Castro’s tyranny—yet the records testify to a lesser truth, a convenient myth polished for votes and adoration. Is this not the bearing of false witness? “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord” (Proverbs 12:22). He hath embellished his heritage as a cloak for ambition, and in that vanity, he stands condemned before the God who demands truth in the inward parts (Psalm 51:6).
Oh, the financial whoredom! He charged the people’s offerings—the credit card of the Party—upon personal indulgences, family repairs, vacations, and vanities, then feigned repayment as if that absolves the greed. “The love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Rubio hath served mammon while mouthing the name of Christ. Double-billing the taxpayer, enriching himself through books and PACs—doth not the Scripture declare, “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn” (1 Timothy 5:18)? Nay, this ox hath fattened itself upon the grain! His hands are stained with the negligence the ethics boards could only lightly rebuke, but Heaven sees the heart: “They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare” (1 Timothy 6:9). His soul is ensnared!
And his alliances! He clung to the scandal-plagued David Rivera as a brother, co-owning and defending until the stench grew too great even for political expediency. “Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14), yet Rubio yoked himself to corruption for power. He railed against Trump as a “con artist,” then bowed the knee for position—Secretary of State, a golden calf of relevance. “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8). Unstable! Flip-flopping on immigration like a reed in the wind, crafting paths to citizenship only to harden his heart when the polls shifted. This is the spirit of the Laodiceans—lukewarm, to be spewed from the mouth of God (Revelation 3:16).
His policies drip with the blood of pharisaical legalism. He would deny mercy even in the gravest violations of the innocent, rigid upon the altar of “life” while his own life testifies to compromise. “Woe unto you… for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith” (Matthew 23:23). Where is mercy for the vulnerable? Where is justice untarnished by ambition? His hawkish sword rattles for war and alliance, yet ignores the prophet’s call: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares” (Isaiah 2:4). He preaches faith from the platform but lives by the wisdom of this world, which “is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).
Repent, Marco Rubio, or face the outer darkness! The Lord is not mocked (Galatians 6:7). Your polished speeches and family photo ops shall avail you nothing on that Day when the books are opened. “Depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:23). Your moral failures are not mere stumbles—they are the wide path that leadeth to destruction (Matthew 7:13). The blood of compromise cries out. The deceit of your tongue, the greed of your ledger, the instability of your convictions—all written in eternity.
Sinner, if you follow such men, flee from them! “Come out from among them, and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17). For the wages of this political idolatry is death, and only the blood of the true Lamb—Jesus Christ, not the false piety of Washington—can cleanse. Rubio’s damnation is sealed by his unrepentant heart unless he turns, humbles himself, and walks in the narrow way.
Let the church say Amen! The fires await the unrepentant. Flee the wrath to come!
Why the Gulf Countrys aint take care by themselves...they wanne sell their oil and gas...so !??
Okay, Trump messed it up, before all was open...thats a excuse...but i didnt seen them doing nothing than give a golden Boeing as present to the Looser in Chief and Billions in investments. A neverending Story...🙄
Well, what one should do, handover one country to Isreal. I love peace and pray for peace
@khurramiqbal9556hahaha.. no
@ulosenDeployment of U.S. combat troops into Iran would be devastating, yet it may be the only way to remove a regime that would be thorn on America’s side indefinitely. Overall, this war was an enormous mistake.
@billyrubin3108I'm in Iran and I know all the intellectual conditions of Iran. Iran stands on no political basis or national thought. The old Iranian tradition is still on the table. Iran has always used the surrounding countries to build political activity and surfing out of the intensity of intellectual weakness and prejudice. The rise to power of the religious layer of the Karbala war was considered by Iran. They had Mukhtar. A completely Turkish character from mesopotania. In that war, a reason was important to Iran. Iranian wife Hasan loaded in Karbala. The woman was the daughter of the Sasanian king. It was a traditional deal. The Sasanian king gave hasban a daughter and took Kuwait and qaddisiyah to many attacks. But the same beast broke Hussein's respect and killed him. You can see the Karbala incident in tarbakh. Killing and butchering men and sexually assaulting women. The attackers were neither identified nor known. Their identity is still being discussed. So I have a suggestion
@MohammadRezaMikaeilWhat? Fuckin, NO! The US can't sell Iran on the Iran Agreement. The US can't sell the US on the Iran Agreement!! And if everything that has been coming from the propaganda state of the news is an indication, then there isn't even a fucking agreement to SELL!
@raisnaixYet another demonstration of donnie the dumbass.
@JD-zi1dySounds like a Shit Deal to me.
@user-nf9sw5gt2wYou should be ashamed of yourselves CNN! Acting like a propaganda mouthpiece for Israel!
@Carol-j6z2lNobody in their right mind should even consider anything promised by the gangster Trump Regime. They are evil, they are liars and thieves.
Our country is in disgrace while they persist.
During Afghan war, Pakistan gave secret drone bases to US to kill Tailban & secretly armed Taliban to kill infidel Americans. With its double games & clandestine Chinese support Pakistan had brought about humiliating US defeat in Afghanistan, rewarded China with CPEC, got Chinese Yuan & extracted US dollars by trapping US in prolonged war. This time it won’t be different, Pakistan sent its troops & aircrafts to Saudi Arabia to fool US while earning Saudi dollars, also secretly sheltered Iranian Airforce planes on its bases & gave 6 land trade routes via Pakistani sea ports to China to transport goods/arms to Iran. Pakistan also started extensive import of Iranian oil through its land route to sabotage US blockade of Iranian oil through Hormuz Strait.
A much weaker power vis-à-vis the US, Iran has two important trump cards: (1) control of Hormuz Strait & (2) US-allied Gulf countries within its firing range. Half million IRGC & one million paramilitary police Basij who are indoctrinated in their religious beliefs make a well-motivated force.
Seeing development of cold feet by the US & clandestine support of China-Pakistan, Iran has hardened terms of deal. Air strikes cannot now substitute boots on the ground. New post-9/11 Afghan war type disaster can now be averted by US by occupying northern part of Hormuz Strait, by blocking China-Pakistan’s sea-based 6 Baluchistan trade routes into Iran & securing Baluchistan’s independence from where Pakistan’s Quetta Shura of terrorists brought about humiliating defeat of US in Afghan war.
That’s a tough task, but Ralph Peters’ blood borders now remain the only option for US victory against Iran & payback act against Pakistan. “You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war” ― Winston Churchill to Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain chose dishonor & got both “War & Shame” & Britain lost numero uno place in the world. Trump & US will meet the same fate if Trump abandoning hard choice, chooses dishonored peace. It is either TACO moment or historic moment for the US.
If Israel decides to continue on the path of endless war at the expense of America and the entire global economy then CUT AID! Let them destroy themselves ALONE!
@Carol-j6z2lIsrael is not the only country that is entitled to self defence! And they cannot complain abt any force in Lebanon manufacturing weopons while they are OCCUPYING SOUTHERN LEBANON!
@Carol-j6z2lThere's a good proxy and bad proxy but it's all proxy, wtp
@WestandforyouYou can’t steal a country’s money and return it in corn ..especially after bombing civilian infrastructure ..you don’t think they need to rebuild??
@Carol-j6z2lWhat we did to our allies is disgraceful. How sad is it that its better to be an enemy of the US than a friend.
@ilrozenwhat a bunch of idiots. Tore up a good deal to replace it with ... nothing
@AmandipSanghaNo more winning Mr. Trump. We can't take it anymore! 😂
@Gizzy2016Here’s a thought tell Israel make peace but noooo they rather kill babies
