Back channel communication. LMFAO.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/16/politics/iran-agreement-text-trump

snip:
Additionally, the officials said that the text of the memorandum of understanding — which Vice President JD Vance told CNN Monday is one-and-a-half pages long — didn’t reflect critical back-channel commitments Iran has made to the US, which they argued gave them more confidence in signing on to the arrangement.

So let's see if a person can apply this strategy.

The man went back to the car dealership after having bought a lemon. He said, take the car back. The dealership refused. The man says we had back-channel commitments, what about those?

Good luck.

With the agreement only specifying a vague "reinvestment fund"?

At this point nothing would surprise me.
