Dissension
Rubio has not looked happy in any recent photos on the subject of Iran. It does appear that there is a split in the administration, with Rubio, Hegseth, and Ratcliff opposing the MOU, and Vance and Witcoff in favor.

Regime Change
Trump has allowed them to play him for weeks, because he still foolishly sees things through the prism of business, where he can just negotiate “deals.” But there is no negotiating with monsters like this.

Are the protracted “negotiations” a deliberate US strategy?
