Let’s go through it.
One of the stated objectives of the war was to recover Iran’s enriched uranium. Okay… but where is it? Nobody knew.
So they launched a Dick Dastardly-style operation in the Isfahan area, where they believed the Iranian nuclear program was located. We all know how that ended.
More recently, the idea was to bomb Pickaxe Mountain into rubble, on the assumption that the Iranian nuclear program was hidden there. Anything there? Nobody knows.
Several mountains were bombed during the February war, yet no one actually knew whether there was anything of value inside them.
In short? Nobody knows anything. But the reward now being offered means that Iran did not agree, and will not agree under any scenario, to hand over its uranium and dismantle its nuclear infrastructure. That is the real reading of this reward.
