Iranian President laughably announces 3 conditions for Peace in iran.

67. Exactly. The US ignored all the starting points Iran made and offered. TACO forced himself into a shit sandwich ...

... abetted by people even more shallow intellect than his own. They think we slunk out of South Viet Nam? Wait till we've reduced our presence to some Naval group patrolling.

I don't think Iran was wedded to having nuclear weapons. I think they counted on the idea they had nukes to influence a negotiation.

Why would Iran do with a nuke or two? Israel has a huge arsenal, per Wiki : Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel's stockpile range from 90 to 400 warheads,[22] and the country is believed to possess a nuclear triad of delivery options by air, land, and sea. Its first deliverable nuclear weapon is estimated to have been completed in late 1966 or early 1967, which would have made it the sixth of nine nuclear-armed countries.

At the same time there's pile of Plutonium sitting in Iran.

More likely: TACO wants to lif sanctions for six months so Russia can sell oil to India. We've cut off production in Venezuela and now Iran. 20% of the oil and gas going out thru Hormuz was going to India, and sever other countries. The US Oil companies get a big raise and coincidentally enough in the highest oil producing nation for the last decade and more, have all you want to buy.

Crackpot theory, or a narration?
