Trump's Iran deal in name only: coercion, conditionality, and the language of leverage

The document unveiled this week is not a treaty and not a peace. It is a conditional pause written in the president's own voice, with the resumption of bombing named as the consequence of dissatisfaction.

Desk note

Monexus has framed this as a conditional posture, not a concluded deal, because that is what the public record from the White House on 17 June supports. Where the Iranian side's position is absent from the public record, Monexus has said so rather than infer one.
