If this article is the straight poop, then the biggest lasting effect of the Trump-Iran War seems to be the US granting Iran (and to a lesser degree, Oman) the right to charge tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. In other words, Donald Trump started a war which will result in the rest of the world having to pay more money to Iran. Good job, Mr. President.

Specifically, paragraph 5 says “Upon the signing of this MOU, Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.”

Lesser issues: the US is paying $300 billion to rebuild Iran (anyone remember The Mouse that Roared?), and terminating ALL sanctions on Iran.

Go ahead, read it: this agreement says that Iran is giving up its ambitions for nuclear weapons (paragraph 8). Every other paragraph is what the United States is giving Iran. That joke going around, about the Supreme Leader’s “Art of the Deal” book doesn’t look too funny now.
