White House Demands Iran Behave Forever or Else, Because Why Not?
KEY POINTS
- •Steve Witkoff told AIPAC donors on Tuesday the U.S. wants Iran to accept a nuclear deal with no expiration.
- •Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said last weekend Iran aims for a permanent peaceful nuclear program.
- •Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Araghchi in Geneva Thursday to discuss Iran's detailed nuclear proposal.
White House envoy Steve Witkoff practically told Iran on Tuesday, 'You either sign a never-ending nuclear deal or deal with Trump’s wrath,' at a top-secret AIPAC donors gathering. This summit is the ironic sequel before a Geneva showdown with Iran’s Abbas Araghchi, whose main goal sounds suspiciously reasonable: keep the peace forever, not just for Obama’s 25 years. Witkoff wants zero 'sunset provisions' which apparently means Iran must behave indefinitely—because enforcing diplomacy like an eternal gym membership seems like a solid plan. Jared Kushner's joining for moral support, and Vice President Vance assured Fox News they have 'other tools,' which probably don’t involve kindness.

Negotiations where the giant ask is 'Act like good adults for the next century or else.' Imagine a Tinder date demanding forever before ordering appetizers.
