The comprehensive $30 billion proposal represents a serious diplomatic breakthrough that could finally resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis through economic incentives rather than military pressure. Trump's decisive strikes have weakened Iran's position and created the perfect opportunity for a lasting peace agreement that ensures Tehran never develops nuclear weapons. The Gulf states' willingness to fund this civilian program shows regional support for a diplomatic solution.
Iran's rejection of talks and passage of legislation ending UN nuclear cooperation proves Tehran cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith after recent betrayals. The regime's continued defiance despite devastating strikes shows they remain committed to developing nuclear weapons capabilities while using diplomacy as a stalling tactic. Washington's mixed signals and contradictory approaches have only emboldened Iranian hardliners.
It is characteristic of US "diplomacy" to first rain bombs, abuse international law, and then call for negotiations. That said, it is highly questionable whether Iran will swallow the financial bait, which at the same time means giving up essential parts of its national sovereignty and dignity. The Islamic Republic has the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as per Article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Iranians are determined to preserve their right under any circumstances.
