Yes, and we spent probably even more than that in the first place to cause the damage we are now agreeing to pay for.

No matter how you look at it, the Trump administration blew hundreds of billions in taxpayer money of their own volition, to ultimately get Iran in a comparatively stronger position (note the agreement says the Straight will operate on Iran’s terms, so… probably they get to levy a toll now). They don’t agree to anything on any military draw down and only agreed to the same thing they agreed to with Obama…

All Trump had to do was to just do nothing after the deal under Obama and US objectives would have been closer to being met for free.
