But OK, so Jared said one of the end goals of this whole thing would be to, quote, corral international investment in Iraq.

What does this sound like to you?

I'll tell you what it sounds like to me.

In 2016, after the JCPOA, the Barack Obama...

designed arms control agreement with Iran to limit but not eliminate the nuclear program.

After that was signed, ratified, John Kerry went on what was known as a roadshow.

He traveled to London, he met with European bankers, and it was quite awkward even for members of the Obama administration, because Kerry was going around saying, hey, everything's cool.

Iran, that war, that conflict, that's over, man.

Come on in, the water's fine.

You can invest in Iran.

And by the way, we won't even enforce the remaining sanctions we have on the regime.

So Kushner is the new Kerry.

Now, if you're a neocon, if you're, you know, an Israeli hawk, if you're an American pro-Israel hawk and you're seeing everything I've just described to you, danger, Will Robinson, danger.

You know, Donald Trump was meant to be the guy.

He called the JCPOA one of the worst agreements he ever saw.

And basically, whether or not he realizes it, because I think he has just basically farmed this out himself.

to his squad of factotums, including his vice president and son-in-law, whether he realizes it or not, right now he is sleepwalking into something that would be, I think, materially worse than the JCPOA, because it's not just about a nuclear arms control agreement.

This is about normalization with Iran,

bringing Iran back into the international community and potentially creating windfalls of cash for the Iranian regime, not just from the Gulf Arab countries, but European nations, Asia, you name it.

And yes, members of his own family probably looking to capitalize on this because everything is about them and self-enrichment.
