Maher Torches Trump Over Iran MOU: ‘What Happened to the Art of the Deal?’ ‘We Didn’t Get Anything’

[Video below.] Late-night television host Bill Maher blasted President Donald Trump’s newly signed agreement with Iran on Friday, arguing that the administration gave away too much while receiving little in return as the United States enters a critical 60-day negotiation period with Tehran. During his opening monologue, Maher mocked Trump’s reputation as a master negotiator and questioned the value of the recently signed 14-point memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. “Where is the big deal maker? What happened to the art of the deal?” Maher asked during his opening monologue on Friday evening, referencing the title of Trump’s 1987 book. The memorandum launched a two-month diplomatic window designed to produce a broader agreement between the two countries. Among its provisions are measures intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes. The agreement also includes a framework for lifting American sanctions on Iran and establishing a massive $300 billion reconstruction fund for the country, provisions that have already generated criticism from a number of Republican lawmakers. Maher argued that the United States emerged from the agreement with little to show for its concessions. “We didn’t get anything. I just hope we play Iran in the World Cup so we can beat them at something,” Maher said. The administration quickly pushed back against criticism surrounding the reconstruction fund. Appearing Saturday morning on Fox News, Vice President JD Vance insisted that American taxpayers would not finance the project and emphasized that any release of funds remains dependent on Iran meeting its obligations under the agreement. According to Vance, a U.S. negotiating team led by special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner is currently in Switzerland conducting technical discussions aimed at implementing the accord. The vice president expressed confidence that the ceasefire framework underpinning the agreement would remain intact despite ongoing regional tensions. “There’s a fork in the road here,” Vance said, referring to the upcoming negotiations. “The United States wins either way, but I think that what ultimately happens from here is very much up to the Iranians. “Do they want to behave better? If so, great,” he continued. “If they don’t want to behave better, the president of the United States still has a whole lot of options from here.” Even as negotiations continue, the agreement faced an immediate challenge when Iranian military officials announced Saturday morning that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed. Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the move was a response to Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, raising fresh concerns about the durability of the accord. American military officials appeared to dispute Iran’s position and signaled that the United States still considers the agreement fully operational. “U.S. forces remain present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect,” the military command said. The conflicting messages highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the new agreement, as supporters argue it offers a pathway to long-term stability while critics contend it grants significant concessions to Tehran before securing meaningful guarantees in return.
