Wired: “Last month, Trump initially gave his blessing for a so-called ‘cash for uranium’ deal, under which the US would release around $20 billion in frozen funds in exchange for Iran handing over its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.”
“Trump’s negotiators, vice president JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son in law, received repeated approvals from the president while they were in Islamabad, giving them confidence a deal was close.”
“But the deal unraveled, in part because Trump was warned by his team that there was a risk he could be seen as giving Iran ‘pallets of cash’—an echo of his own oft-stated criticism of Barack Obama’s Iran deal—and he pulled the plug.”
“Except now, that’s once again the cornerstone of the current proposal.”
