US offers Iran its cash back if UN can inspect bombed nuclear sites

Original version ·

Washington's latest diplomatic trade is peak geopolitics: bomb the facilities first, then offer billions to go look at the rubble.

After the first round of talks, the US is floating a trade deal with Iran. The offer is delightfully simple: Tehran lets UN inspectors check out what’s left of their destroyed nuclear sites, and in return, Washington gives them back some of their frozen billions.

Basically, they are offering to unfreeze Iranian money just so nuclear inspectors can double-check if the recent strikes actually worked. It turns out high-stakes international diplomacy operates on the exact same logic as paying someone with their own wallet to let you inspect a car you just smashed with a sledgehammer.

Geopolitics remains undefeated at making total absurdity sound like a balanced compromise.

    Wait, so we bomb their facilities, freeze their cash, and then offer their own cash back to check the damage? Who writes this script??
