There was a report that in some private conversation or communication, the administration told the Iranian President that if he agreed to negotiations we would lift all sanctions. Once the report came out it was denied by the administration.
The problem is that the Iranian regime, for all their fundamentalist beliefs and enmity to Israel, have more credibility than our administration does.
Was this offer made? I don't know but thinking about it, probably.
The administrations foreign policy efforts have almost no successes. We and the world are in worse shape than we were before the last election.
North Korea scored a major propaganda coup and has continued to develop its weapons.
We withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal and have nothing with which to replace it. Our sanctions are hurting Iran but we have seen drones shot down, oil fields attacked and tankers seized.
Our allies don't agree with many of our positions and it shows.
We have allowed China the inside track on trade in the Pacific by leaving the trade agreement.
Whatever our interests are in Venezuela, we are not achieving them.
Russia continues to expand and interfere. We have embarrassed the Ukraine.
The administration was embarrassed by a teenage girl at the UN and really want's something to distract the public it can call a victory.
Would they have proposed such a deal in private? I'm sure they would, but they can't pull off private very well either.
