part of normalization is resolving past issues. this one dates from the time of the 1979 revolution. we froze billions in Iranian assets (read, property) 40 years ago. now we're returning it to them.

is there something wrong with rapprochement?

it's not like we're getting nothing from it. tit for tat.
