The people of Iran are on the verge of a nation-wide famine - with some families down to only 'emergency rations, so, in a magnanimous jesture, this afternoon, the US government formally waived oil sanctions on Iran for two months - allowing for roughly $10 billion in revenue as nuclear talks continued with Iranian officials in Switzerland.
The Treasury Department waiver lasts through Aug. 21 - giving Iran the ability to openly sell its oil for the first time since the 1990s, meaning it will pocket new profits by avoiding discounted sales.
The waiver was announced as Vice President JD Vance prepared to depart peace talks in Switzerland - and follows President Trump last week lifting the two-month US naval blockade of Iranian ports.
I think this is where we are seeing a bit of Trump's softer side. He's certainly not afraid to use our military to crush the regime - we've seen that already, but I believe his empathy for the people of Iran is maybe just a bit stronger than his hatred of the regime.
If, and only IF the regime uses that freed-up money to feed it's people, all well and good right? One dime - one single fuckin' dime - goes to Hezbollah and the gloves - and the gun muzzles - will come off. That we CAN be sure of.
You can see stars from your own backyard with this.
This is another pre-Prime Days sales price. Take a look...
