President Trump said that peace talks will begin with Iran this weekend in Oman. Iran reportedly says that they would like to see a “goodwill gesture” from the U.S. first. By this, they mean relief from sanctions.
The Obama administration put horrific sanctions on Iran for the entire 8 years they were in the White House without ever proving that Iran had a nuclear weapon. Read this demon’s justification of it in the book The Art of Sanctions if you want to know more about it.
The Trump administration has also not proved that Iran has a nuclear weapon but wants to come up with an alternative to the Iran nuclear deal, formerly known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The deal was put in place by the Obama administration and it involved Iran’s promise to curb nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief. President Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018 and reimposed those sanctions. President Biden was never able to negotiation a new one but…he didn’t really try.
What if the Trump administration replaces the sanctions with tariffs? Would we all be happy then?
