    So was this about the oil? Yesterday, he said russia’s oil can be sold again. I’m guessing that’s flying under the radar now.

      If Iran wants nukes, that’s fine. Israel has nukes and they aren’t giving them up. Iran having nukes would be an India-Pakistan situation with two opposing countries having nukes. They’ve kept that status quo for 60+ years.
