Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration official involved in Iran policy, called the emerging US-Iran framework deal "the most shameful" in American diplomatic history. Writing Wednesday evening, Taylor said hundreds of billions of dollars would be exchanged for a promise that already existed, calling it "pathetic." He joins a growing wave of criticism from Israeli and American commentators.
Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration official who served on Iran policy during the first Trump term, posted a sharp condemnation of the emerging US-Iran agreement Wednesday evening, calling it potentially the most shameful deal in American diplomatic history. Taylor wrote that the framework exchanges hundreds of billions of dollars for a promise that the US already had from Iran, and described the arrangement as 'pathetic.' His remarks join a wave of criticism from Israeli commentators, analysts, and former US officials — including John Bolton and Ehud Barak — who have each characterized the deal as weak or dangerous for both the US and Israel. As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, the criticism spans the Israeli political spectrum, with figures from Channel 14's Itamar Fleishman to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak all voicing alarm. Taylor's specific charge — that the deal is 'shameful' — adds the perspective of a former insider to the Trump administration's own Iran policy team. The deal's full terms have not been made public, and no official confirmation from the White House or Tehran has been issued.
