From Aljazeera: Iran Mizan news agency has reported more details on the proposal to begin a multi-layered peace process.

“America has committed to withdrawing its military forces from Iran’s surrounding environment, whether this includes forces deployed to the region or forces stationed at bases requires negotiation,” it said.

“If a final agreement is reached within a 60-day period, this agreement will be approved in the form of a binding UN Security Council resolution,” the news report added.

If Iran is smart they'll use the time a deal like this buys them to get nukes. That way the US can't come back later to bomb again.

    Everybody on hexbear is really confident that just having nukes will be a magic shield of safety for Iran and the world and I really wish I could be so, so confident that the U.S. isn't actually led by mad dogs who would go "well we learned a lot about Iranian missiles and drones the last time, now we're ready!" and start nuclear war

    Like yea dawg i hope so but uh i think if U.S. leaders were rational they'd have realized attacking iran at this moment in time would have gone exactly this way. They needed to do this 20 years ago or not at all without China/Russia supporting it (so, not at all).

    You could say Korea not being attacked supports the idea but I don't think there are as many reasons for the U.S. to want to topple the DPRK vs Iran and that's without even considering Israel

    What would the alternative be though? Iran just doesn't get nukes and the US 100% bombs them again? From Iran's perspective at this point there'd be no real downside to getting nukes. If the US does start nuclear war then it's just like become everyone elses problem instead of just theirs. So like yeah maybe it won't work, but I see no reason they wouldn't give it a go.

    Nukes sure do seem like a magical shield of safety. Iran can be relentlessly harassed without them. When Libya gives them up they can be turned into a failed state in a few years.
