It's the other way around. Iran changed it after we walked away. They were willing to play ball and do what it takes.
Give proof. Both of you.
Oh shut up, source boy.
Iran changed the terms from Yuan to crypto (including Trump's stable coin) when the ceasefire was announced and switched it to Rial after Vance walked away.
From everything I've read, they always specified the fee amount in rials. They didn't "switch it to rials." And there was NEVER any evidence that they accepted Trump's stablecoin. And they didn't "change things after Vance walked away."
You are sloppily and confusedly munging things together. If you want to make this argument of this specific sequence and specific facts like Trump's stablecoin then you are going to have to post a source. Otherwise you just look confused and are making a fool of yourself.
No I'm not and you're a craven pathetic fool.
The "sources" are all out there, look them up your damn self. Here's a hint, check bloomberg, reuters, or Iran'a own social media posts. Trump's stable coin is called USD1 by the way.
I've specifically asked you to post sources knowing you couldn't, because I've already searched and could not find anything from Bloomberg, Reuters or Iran's social media or any other credible outlet saying they would accept USD1. USDC, USDT yes, but not USD1. I think you are either clueless and confused, or are a low-IQ troll who thinks he/she can stir the pot, by assuming we are less intelligent and less astute than you are.
You've failed.

It’s a farce. They don’t get nuclear weapons. They have enriched uranium and was just about to agree to not enrich it further in Feb 27.
Why would a country that has so much oil ever need uranium unless it's to build a nuclear weapon how can anybody say oh yeah sure you can enrich for uranium in an oil-rich country it's ridiculous no one should be fooled and in fact this is proof that they never stopped their nuclear program and should be sanctioned and removed from the planet
Why would a country that supposedly has such a great economic and diplomatic relationship with China need nukes when they could be working with China on developing renewables?
Iran gets 2800+ hours of sunlight per year across most of its territories. The central plateau, Yazd, Kerman, Isfahan has world class solar irradiance values. Some of the best on the planet. And the Binalud and Manjil corridors have some of the strongest onshore wind resources in the entire Middle East. Iran could be a renewable energy powerhouse.
China has partnered with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other countries to build megascale renewable energy projects.
The catch is that China won't invest, because of sanctions. And the sanctions are there because nobody believes Iran is pursuing nuclear for energy alone. Iran needs to drop that pursuit. Bottom line. Their lives will be so much better if they do.
You're describing an ideal world where Israel isn't acting like a terrorist state. Iran wants nuclear weapons to defend against Israel, and given what occurred this year, I'd say they've been proven right. Which is extremely sad, because your ideal solution cannot happen.
You're describing a world where Iran has no agency, no choices, no alternatives, and where its only possible path is to pursue nuclear weapons “to defend itself from Israel.” But that framing ignores the choices Iran has made for decades.
If nuclear pursuit were simply a reaction to Israeli aggression, you’d expect Israel’s immediate neighbors: Egypt, Jordan, others who actually fought wars with Israel to be racing for nukes. They aren’t. They also aren’t chanting “Death to Israel” at every state function. Yet they were the ones who experienced direct conflict with Israel in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
Iran, by contrast, had no wars with Israel, no Israeli attacks on its territory, and in fact maintained cooperative ties with Israel before 1979. The first Israeli covert actions against Iran didn’t occur until decades later in the 2010s, long after Iran had already spent years funding terrorist groups that attacked Israel. And from the moment the Islamic Republic was founded, its leadership adopted “Death to Israel” as a core ideological slogan.
That wasn’t a reaction to Israeli military behavior. It was an ideological choice. It was core choice for their revolution's identity. The new regime framed Israel as illegitimate, as a Western colonial project, and as something that should not exist in the region. That ideological posture shaped everything that followed.
None of this excuses Israeli policies you find objectionable. I and many others find Israeli policies objectionable as well, I've posted numerous times here to criticize the occupation, the treatment of Palestinians, and the conduct of the IDF. Those criticisms stand on their own.
But it’s also not accurate to portray Iran as a passive victim with no alternatives but to “stand up to terrorist Israel.”
Iran made strategic decisions: supporting armed proxies, rejecting diplomatic normalization, and defining its very identity through opposition to Israel, while other regional states chose de‑escalation and coexistence. The current conflict dynamic didn’t happen in a vacuum, and it wasn’t inevitable.
If we’re going to call out harmful behavior, it has to be applied consistently. Israel has done things worth condemning. But Iran has also made choices that escalated tensions rather than reduced them. Both realities can be true at the same time.

So stupid. Energy needs to be diversified to mitigate changing circumstances and logistics. Why does the US need nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro?
Why are we trying to develop a viable hydrogen fuel cell? We already have Prudhoe, Permian, Bakken, and the Gulf... smh.
Because oil and gas are limited, dwindling resources that are getting harder and harder and more and more expensive to extract, whereas other power sources are becoming more and more cheap, efficient and abundant. Why would anyone paint themselves into a corner with fossil fuel? Now THAT's stupid.
You think an oil rich 3rd world country cares about climate change

The whole reason why they do not want Iran to have nuclear weapon it's because that'll prevent the US and Israel from making it another Iraq.

The freakin Ayatollah who was killed put a FATWA on Nukes. Under the Obama agreement, they opened themselves up to inspection.
Frankly, they would be stupid NOT to develop nukes because it seems it's the only way to keep the bloodthirsty psychos who committed genocide at bay.
