U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran

The U.S. and Iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war, with one element under discussion being that the U.S. would release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium, according to two U.S. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks.

Didn't Trump/MAGA label Obama as a traitor for doing something like this?

Why does Donald Trump want to give $20 Billion to that evil regime in Iran? Doesn't the Pope not understand politics?

Lol so now we're going to pay them for something Obama's deal was going to achieve before Trump broke it?

With, dare I say it, pallets of cash?

This administration is such a group of clowns who pales in comparison only to the idiots who still support it.

U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran

Trump begs Iran for peace to end the war he incompetently started and cannot figure out how to win and offers them $20 billion bribe.

Fixed.

Dummkopf Trumpf wants the "radioactive dust" from Iran.

Go send Barron to pick it all up.

We have accomplished our goal of making everything worse than before.

Go ahead, step outside. Breathe. Admittedly, you won't notice much of a difference because the world today is pretty much the same as it was a few weeks ago, only more unstable. Which, again, and we cannot stress this enough, was the whole point.

They should give Vance the Nobel Peace Prize just to piss off Trump.

Pakistan is the better bet.

Trumpy reminds me of a dog I once had.

I had to stick his nose in his own poop a lot until he stopped popping on my carpets.

(But never once did I ever consider taking him to the gravel pits!)

Kristi Noem, is that you?

$20 billion.

So, only half of what Trump gave Javier Milei.

Iran should demand another $20 billion.

Why should Javi get more?

So, $20 billion for a stockpile of uranium.

But nothing to prevent them from enriching more?

What a sweet deal for Iran.

Will Bibi allow this?

What happened to regime change?
