It could just be an opening position. Some kind of reparations might be reasonable if whoever takes over is along the Delcy Rodriguez line in terms of giving up on the unacceptable character of the country. If all of the ballistic missiles are gone, the enriched uranium eliminated, etc., and Iran stops supporting regional and global Islamic nationalism and terror...could be good.
