5 min readTrump’s Bluff Called: Full License to Iran
The MeidasTouch Podcast opens with a striking claim: Donald Trump, after threatening to "kill all of the Iranian negotiators" the day before, issued a full general license and absolute waiver to Iran the following morning — effectively suspending decades of U.S. sanctions and allowing Iran to sell oil on the global market, including to the United States, in U.S. dollars.
