The Islamic Republic appears to have invented time travel.
The ayatollahs seem convinced they’ve returned to 2012 and are once again heading to talks with the United States in Oman to offer tactical concessions on their nuclear program.
As in the secret Muscat channel that preceded President Barak Obama’s nuclear deal, the regime appears to believe it can extract yet another favorable agreement from a gullible American administration.
But Donald Trump’s delegation hasn’t benefited from this time-bending technology. They are firmly planted in 2026—and are headed to Muscat not to revive the JCPOA, but to dismantle Iran’s ballistic missile program, choke off its proxy network , and save the people of a weakened Islamic Republic. Ending the nuclear program is just the cherry on top.
