What’s happening in Iran?
- Thread starter CQB
- Start date
@Jaknight the Iranian’s agreed to limit the range of their ballistic missiles to 2000 km. (Tel Aviv is 1900 km from Tehran.
)
They have also said that they would continue to press ahead with development of conventional “defensive” ballistic weapons systems and payloads. But how hard is it to change the payload on a ballistic missile from a conventional to a nuclear warhead?

That ^ was a mistake on the president-elect's part. He should have signaled willingness to consider the possibility of returning to the table, but needing some moves by Iran (and others) first. Now, he is a disadvantageous negotiating position because everyone knows this is something that he wants, and they're therefore going to make him pay for it.
But hey, don't take my word for it:

Oh, I don't think it was a mistake. I think it was done intentionally.
Antony Blinken, if confirmed, will be the pointman in this "disadvantageous negotiating position." He helped frame the original JCPOA. He's Jewish--which, given his track record, probably means little or nothing in this context. Personally I'm hoping this is going to be a hard sell in Congress given the probability that Iran will bleed it for all it's worth.

If true, fucking impressive.

Additionally. POTUS is keeping the Nimitz around

Will be interesting to see who is going to win the game of chicken.
Iran will win.
Incoming admin has already said they will re-enter the nuke deal (violated by Iran), and I doubt any Iranian terror acts will be responded to by the new admin.
President Elect Harris won't rock the boat.
