Scaramucci Calls Trump’s 14-Point Iran Deal an Abject Failure as $800 Billion Damage Mounts

Summary
Anthony Scaramucci said Trump has entered “five-stage denialism” over a 14-point Iran peace framework, arguing the president privately knows the deal fell far short of his war aims.
Leaked terms show Trump would ease some sanctions, allow access to billions in frozen Iranian assets, support a $300 billion reconstruction fund and accept only temporary Strait of Hormuz coordination.
Those concessions leave Iran’s nuclear program for future talks and abandon Trump’s earlier demands for regime change and “unconditional surrender,” even as he told the G7 the accord achieved “everything” Washington wanted.
Scaramucci said Trump settled because he wanted to reopen shipping lanes and curb U.S. prices, while Trump himself warned the war risked an “international depression.”
SkyBridge estimates the conflict has already caused $700 billion to $800 billion in global economic damage through higher prices, weaker consumption, energy shocks and inflation.
