In the great diplomatic drama of 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi promised to finalize the all-important nuclear deal proposal over a weekend that probably involved less Netflix than usual. Scheduled for a Thursday Geneva pow-wow—not Friday, because even chaos runs on a schedule—the U.S. wing, led by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, preaches patience despite Trump's infamous, uh, military option looming like a deadly Salesforce notification. Iran is cooking up ‘token enrichment’ of uranium, which apparently means 'just a pinch, boss'. Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham publicly mourns the voices of reason around the president, pleading for an old-fashioned Middle East firework show. The admin's officials say the strike could come anytime—still waiting for that fax.
