TL;DR

The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed overnight, according to reports Thursday. Brig. Gen. (res.) Harel Knafo said Trump is 'losing big time' and that the Iranians, through their patience, are humiliating the great power.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed overnight, adding a formal signature to an accord that had been under negotiation for weeks. Brig. Gen. (res.) Harel Knafo, a former senior IDF officer, offered a sharply critical assessment, stating that in the 'money time' of the deal, Trump is losing decisively. He argued that Iran's patience has allowed it to humiliate the world's leading power. The remarks, reported Thursday afternoon, echo a thread of Israeli security commentary that The Zioneer has covered over the past week. On Thursday morning, The Zioneer reported on the signed MOU and on commentator Tal Meir's characterization of the deal as a U.S. surrender. Later bulletins noted both Iranian triumphalist framing and additional Israeli criticism. Knafo's statement adds a former military commander's voice to the debate, framing the outcome as a strategic humiliation for Washington rather than a diplomatic achievement. The full text of the MOU has not been published, and implementation timelines remain unverified.
