Scoop: CIA director doubts Iran’s intentions on deal, sources say
CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Trump and other senior officials that evidence gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies raises serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the nuclear concessions the U.S. is seeking in any final deal, according to three sources familiar with those discussions.
Friction point: Ratcliffe isn’t the only skeptic in Trump’s top team. In internal discussions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth both expressed concerns and raised questions about the memorandum of understanding (MOU) announced Sunday, while Vice President Vance and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner advocated for it, according to two of the sources.

Vance, Witkoff and Kushner are expected to meet Friday with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, along with Pakistani and Qatari mediators, to discuss that next phase.

The MOU says Iran will conduct a dialogue with Oman “to define future administration and maritime services” in the strait, with other Gulf countries participating in that dialogue to reach a solution “in line with applicable international law and sovereign rights” of regional countries, the source said.

The MOU also says any final deal will include a “definitive and mutually agreed plan” for the establishment of a $300 billion fund for the “reconstruction and economic development” of Iran, as well as a mechanism for its implementation, the source said.
There is no deal… only a temporary ceasefire.
There are no real funds being released.
This entire "breakthrough" is a calculated narrative, a desperate play on words engineered solely to prop up cratering poll numbers ahead of the midterms.
The mainstream sees green on…
