Trump’s 15-Point Iran Peace Plan? How Hard could it be?

“We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis.”

“Diplomats. The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank.”

One of the problems with Human Nature is that Everyone wants to be King of the hill, conflicts over those hills can result, peace plans must be constructed while the conflict is ongoing, proposing a peace plan doesn’t necessarily imply weakness or capitulation, nearly all peace negotiations involve some degree of deception, and most peace plans fail because everyone still wants to be King of the hill.

It’s just that simple. And, it’s been true for as long as there’s been people and hills (literal or figurative).

President Trump’s America is no exception, as he works every day to Make America Great Again.

When it comes to the Iran Conflict, Trump’s detractors and their Media allies have levied their usual attacks upon the President: A stupid and dementia-addled leader, controlled by Israel, who launched a reckless and unjustified attack on Iran in order to effect regime change, plunging an unwilling Middle East into an endless war and possibly total armageddon, at a cost of American blood and billions of US Taxpayer dollars, dollars which could have been used to fund healthcare, welfare to undocumented immigrants, Clean Energy, Tax Cuts, and more.

Trump recently announced he’s proposed a 15-Point Peace Plan to Iran, and while various foreign policy pundits, self-declared experts, news outlets, and think-tanks bloviate and pontificate as to the specific details I figured I’d add my ~~2-Cents~~ (oops… no more pennies, my bad!) my 2-Nickels to the discussion.

A 15-Point US-Iran Peace Plan

A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between the United States, Iran, Europe, and the Middle East. All ambiguities of the last 47 years will be considered settled.
Iran will enshrine in law a policy of non-aggression towards Israel, the Middle East, and Europe.
Iran will stop its policy of supporting, enabling, and funding terrorism, either directly or indirectly by proxy.
A dialogue will be held between Iran, Israel, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development.
The size of the Iranian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.
Iran agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it recognizes Israel’s right to exist and to protect themselves as a sovereign nation, and Israel agrees to include in its statutes a provision that they will not unilaterally attack Iran.
If Iran attacks Israel, in addition to a decisive coordinated military response, all global sanctions will be reinstated.
A powerful global package of measures to rebuild Iran will be implemented, including but not limited to:

The creation of an Iranian Development Fund to invest in fast-growing industries.
The United States will cooperate with Iran to jointly rebuild, develop, modernize, and operate Iran’s fossil fuel infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities.
Joint efforts to rehabilitate war-affected areas for the restoration, reconstruction and modernization of civilian cities and residential areas.
Infrastructure development.
Extraction of minerals, natural resources, and fossil fuels.
The World Bank will develop a special financing package to accelerate these efforts.

Iran will be reintegrated into the global economy:

The lifting of sanctions will be discussed and agreed upon in stages and on a case-by-case basis.
The United States will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, rare earth metal extraction projects, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities.

Any Iran funds held or frozen by foreign countries will be used as follows.

Countries whose infrastructures have been damaged by Iranian aggression will be reimbursed for repair of the damage.
Of the remaining assets, 50% of the frozen Iranian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Iran. The US will receive 50% of the profits from this venture.
The remainder of the frozen Iranian funds will be invested in a separate US-Iran investment vehicle that will implement joint projects in specific areas. This fund will be aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict.

A joint American-Iran working group on security issues will be established to promote and ensure compliance with all provisions of this agreement.
Iran agrees to be a non-nuclear state in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons: This includes, but is not limited to, allowing unrestricted, unannounced, random inspection of known and suspected nuclear facilities, dismantling of existing nuclear weapons, and full disclosure of all uranium inventories.
The Bushehr 1 Nuclear Power Plant will be placed under the direct and continual supervision of the IAEA, and the electricity produced will be monitored.
This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, headed by President Donald J. Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations.
Once all parties agree to this memorandum, a ceasefire will take effect immediately.
