Verify -- I agree with Mr. Corbett that skepticism is absolutely required around Iran keeping its word. I wish, but don't dare hope, that the Trump administration cares enough about that caveat to insist on effective verification measures. My bet is that, like Ms. Bondi before him, Mr. Corbett's citing of the Dow Jones Industrial Averages in support will miss the essentials of the moment. --Hugh Hansen

Pause, or Red Herring? -- What time is it? It’s hard to opine on the MOU with Iran because the story and the circumstances change by the hour. At best, this is a 60-day pause that could lead to an end to the war, which in turn would get us back to where we started. At worst, it’s another red herring meant to keep the distraction going while Israel continues to attack its neighbors, Iran gets richer as it exacts fees to use the Strait of Hormuz, and Americans pay more at the pump and watch inflation grow and grow. 

This whole thing was foolish from the start and Americans are left footing the bill. It’s worked for Trump, though, because we’re not talking about the Epstein files, and the DOJ is no closer to releasing them in full as required by law. --K.E. Bell
