For those who are truly interested in martial arts, it is important to know that the first fights organized last night in front of the White House by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) all ended in knockouts. This was to the delight of President Trump, who celebrated his 80th birthday with his family, in front of hundreds of spectators wrapped in American flags, with the participation of figures such as Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Paramount head David Ellison.
Mauricio Ruffy, after defeating Michael Chandler, publicly proposed marriage to his wife during the post-fight press conference, leaving those present astonished at the mental state of the contestants, as the two have been married for several years. While Josh Hokit, after his victory over Derrick Lewis, declared that "Michelle Obama is a man, am I right America?"
The truth is that the Iran deal, announced shortly before the start of the matches, attracted all the attention, and it was talked about all evening, except for combat sports fans who follow the philosophy of UFC head Dana White, according to whom "this is a place of war. It was built on war."
The Iran deal
The deal with Iran, for now, appears closed or at least suspended for 60 days, under an agreement to be signed on Friday in Geneva to extend the ceasefire and negotiate details on the future of Tehran's nuclear program.
Shortly before he went to the ring, Trump contacted the New York Times to explain the content of the agreement. First, Hormuz is reopened without additional taxes, but this was actually already the situation before, and at best it is a return to the existing conditions, with the difference that now the world has seen the Revolutionary Guard's ability to paralyze the global energy market.
The president insists that the new agreement is better than the JCPOA signed by his predecessor Barack Obama, but the reality is that this assessment remains uncertain. The text does not resolve the issue of the over 400 kilograms of enriched uranium held by Iranian authorities, nor the future of Iran's nuclear activities.
These issues are postponed for the 60-day negotiations, which could be extended. The White House has stated that Iran has pledged not to build or acquire nuclear weapons, but this is already part of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and was reiterated in the JCPOA.
Trump insists that controls will be stricter, but they are not specified in the memorandum. Also unclear is the issue of enriched uranium, partly left over from the June bombings of three major nuclear facilities.
The president has said there is no rush to restore it, but it will be diluted in cooperation with the US. As for the civilian program, Trump has mentioned that the suspension could last 15 to 20 years, but not forever. After that, Iran could resume activity, perhaps with an enrichment limit closer to 3.67%, as in the JCPOA.
In exchange, if the conditions are met, Iranian authorities will gradually receive about $25 billion in assets frozen abroad. However, this distribution is conditional and Trump will not personally participate in it, to avoid criticism of him.
The same logic applies to the 60-day negotiations: if a lasting agreement is not reached, the president has declared that he is ready to resume attacks. In this scenario, the US would become the “guardian” of the Middle East, while the countries of the region would pay 20% of the profits of their energy sector.
