I know it sounds wacko. But the whole situation is wacko. And, at the same time, what we've been doing for decades now is wacko. So maybe it is just brilliant? And better than doing more of what arguably hasn't worked..and is certainly unsustainable??

US Reportedly Mulls Easing Iran Sanctions, Assisting Non-Enrichment Nuclear Program
Thursday, Jun 26, 2025 - 10:40 AM
Update(1340ET): In an entirely bizarre and unexpected pivot, and following yesterday's Trump statements suggesting that a new Iran nuclear deal might not even be necessary (given the narrative that its enriched uranium and nuclear capability has been fullly destroyed), the White House is already in discussions for a deal both to ease Iran sanctions and potentially help the Islamic Republic build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, but importantly without domestic enrichment.
"The Trump administration has discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, easing sanctions, and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds – all part of an intensifying attempt to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table, four sources familiar with the matter said," a fresh Thursday CNN report says.
"Key players from the US and the Middle East have talked with the Iranians behind the scenes even amid the flurry of military strikes in Iran and Israel over the past two weeks, the sources said," the report continues. "Those discussions have continued this week after a ceasefire deal was struck, the sources said."
The report says multiple early-stage proposals are under discussion, but all based on a key non-negotiable: that Iran must halt all uranium enrichment. However, this is one red line that Tehran has been insistent it won't give in to, as a matter of national sovereignty.
