The Pentagon has a secret plan for a post-war Iran peace deal, and it doesn't involve bombing nuclear sites.
Here are the top 5 things you need to know about this:
- The deal reportedly trades a full end to international sanctions in exchange for Iran dismantling its most advanced centrifuges, effectively freezing its nuclear enrichment at 60%—just short of weapons-grade.
- A major sticking point is who will pay for rebuilding Western oil facilities in Iran; leaked diplomatic cables suggest the US is quietly asking Saudi Arabia to bankroll a massive infrastructure fund as a peace dividend.
- Intelligence agencies have confirmed that under this framework, Iran would be required to allow 24/7 physical access to its Fordow and Natanz sites by international inspectors, with no prior notice.
- The most surprising clause: Iran’s ballistic missile program is not on the table, a massive concession to Tehran that hasn't been made public until now.
- Economists predict that if the iran peace deal goes through, global oil prices could crash to $50 a barrel within six months, triggering a full-scale economic war between OPEC members Russia and Saudi Arabia.
