  • The explanation of the “dollar bill flight” I was looking for.

    Is this Iran’s gold?

    It is now. Gold is fungible. It belongs to whoever has it. Like 2% of all the gold in the world can be tracked back to an ethical origin point. Once it gets minted its history gets erased.

    I think one thing that Iran must be careful of in regards to asset retrieval is not falling into the trap of making Iranian economic development dependent on Western or Western aligned investment.

    This isn’t investment, this is returning seized assets. If you have to break someone bones to get them to pay you what they owe are you going to keep doing business with them? The MoU’s “$300 billion in reconstruction” was never agreed to be an “investment” by Iran. If Iran had agreed to it as an investment the MoU would have said that. That was only ever an american talking point to spin part 7 in the MoU into less of a capitulation.
