Insider editor Michael Weiss cautioned that any Iran deal President Donald Trump signs based on leaked details would constitute a "major humiliation" for the president.
According to Iran's Mehr News Agency, the proposed agreement grants Iran $300 billion in reconstruction money and $24 billion in cash — half before negotiations begin — while addressing only a ceasefire extension with no substantive progress on missile programs, financing, or terrorist proxy support.
Weiss described the deal as merely an agreement to keep talking, not an actual resolution. He suggested Trump has developed buyer's remorse, realizing he was duped into the whole endeavor after regime-change plans collapsed.
“I mean, this would be an utter humiliation. I could see why Trump would want JD Vance to go to a signing ceremony instead of Donald Trump,” Weiss laughed.
He characterized Trump as wanting "out of" the conflict entirely, having already shifted focus to Cuba.
