Iranian final minister wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post and called Trump a man of peace.

He has started writing the Trumpish tweets in which he attacked Tim Biden.

and praised Trump effectively.

And this is the same Trump who had killed Iran's top general four years before that.

So obviously there are many who thought Trump is an opportunity and they could use it.

Yeah, and there are many who are interested in the economic opportunities that a reopening could bring.

you know, it's a mix of a carrot and a stick, is that the carrot can be huge, you know, you can have huge economic benefits, but they also understand the alternative is this continued economic ruination that I spoke about.

The question is if they're bold enough to pursue it and to get a deal, and if the other side is flexible enough, but I always say this is the thing that we need to remember.

United States will be fine if it deals with Iran, if it doesn't deal with Iran,

You know, it will be fine.

It's the United States.

I mean, it has tons of other issues and problems, but it's not like whether it has ties with Iran or not is like a central big issue for it.

But this is Iran's life really depends on it.

This is the historic moment for Iran.

One of the most historic moments in 2,500 years of Iranian history, right?

It's how it could come out, crawl out of this.

And on one side, it could become a country that is integrated into the region, economically doing much better,

it would be the biggest economic sort of frontier since the fall of the Soviet Union if it opens up.

That's one vision.

And I'm not even talking about democracy, but just economic opening.
