J D Vance is not going to Geneva, Vienna or anywhere else in Europe to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran, as Donald Trump had announced on June 11.

The orange orangutan in the White House desperately wanted to sign the deal today, to coincide with his 80^th birthday.

Like a child getting excited about a gift, Trump also wanted to have a birthday gift.

Instead, Iran delivered a tight slap on his face when it announced the MoU will not be signed on Sunday (June 14 is Trump’s birth date).

It would be more accurate to say—and most people will agree with it—that the Iranians should tell Trump to “Drop dead”!

It will make a lot of people happy, including many Americans.

Iran’s leadership is reviewing the 14-point MoU very carefully to ensure all loopholes are closed and there is no wriggle room for the habitually dishonest Americans.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, however, did not rule out that the MoU could be signed in the “coming days”.

So, the US vice president can enjoy his weekend with family and his children can play with their pet chickens.

And even if the Iranians agree to accept the MoU, it will be signed electronically, not in a face-to-face meeting.

Trump has repeated the “peace is at hand” mantra at least 38 times since March 23.

He has even alleged repeatedly that the “Iranians are desperate for a deal.”

If so, one wonders why they are not rushing to Geneva, Vienna or wherever the deal may finally be signed, if agreed upon?

While the Iranians mull over the details of the MoU, a Qatari delegation headed by an advisor to Qatar’s foreign minister, rushed to Tehran this morning.

The Qataris, one of the mediators with Pakistan, are trying to narrow the gap between the two sides to finalize the MoU text.

It appears the sticking points are the timings of the release of Iran’s frozen assets and when the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.

The MoU sets out the framework for further, more detailed discussions on contentious issues once the 60-day ceasefire goes into effect.

Another sticking point is Israel’s refusal to end its war on Lebanon and Gaza.

Iran insists that a ceasefire in Lebanon and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese territory are essential parts of the ceasefire agreement.

The indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, however, wants perpetual war in order to avoid being convicted on fraud and bribery charges.

He faces a slew of charges at home as well as war crime charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

As part of its disruptive and criminal conduct, zionist Israel bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut this morning (June 14).

Such criminal acts are intended to provoke Iran into retaliating and thus derailing the prospects of a US-Iran deal.

Iran sees reigning in Netanyahu as an essential test of whether the deal with the US will hold.

If the zionist war criminal has a free hand to wage war on Hizbullah or kill civilians in South Lebanon, then there can be no deal.

Zionist war criminals can launch another war on Islamic Iran as well.

That is why Tehran insists on a regional-wide ceasefire.

If Trump cannot deliver on that, the deal is not worth it.
