Donald Trump has claimed there have been talks between the United States and Iran over the past day in which the two sides had “major points of agreement”, appearing to avert a potentially severe escalation of the conflict.
Tehran has denied the claim, in which Trump also speculated that a deal could soon be done to end the war. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said no talks had been held with the US since the bombing campaign began 24 days ago.
Trump’s threat at the weekend to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power stations and energy infrastructure if Tehran did not allow shipping to move freely through the strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s threat to destroy infrastructure across the Middle East in retaliation, had raised fears of a deepening conflict and global economic crisis.
Weird how every time Trump says that he’s in secret talks with someone, the other party denies it. It’s like everyone is lying all the time, or just one person is lying all the time. It’s sad when I believe other countries that we’re at war with over the president.
It is sad. The U.S. has destroyed its credibility in the world, and we can thank Trump and those who voted him in for that.
He may not know. We know he’s losing his faculties. He demands what he wants from his yes men - that they talk to Iran, that the work out an end to this war, etc. And they don’t dare aregue back. They probably don’t quite lie, but sneak around the truth, but he doesn’t notice and then goes on believing what he wants.
He’s just preparing for an out, in a week or two he can tell on TV that Iran agreed to all demands and as such, the US gets out. Won’t work most likely, but maybe he’ll try.
That or he seriously believes this has happened because someone told him. Who knows! Or he might just contradict himself.
I’ve heard speculation that its market manipulation, and that seems likely.
Garunteed this cunt and all his billionaire ilk are storing their wealth in assets that’ll survive the collapse of the US dollar.
The goal is to destroy America and buy up the pieces.
I’m willing to accept it as long as the fucking war ends.
Of course, we’ll continue to feel the repercussions for decades.
So much for my retirement.
It was probably like the talks about a Ukraine war ceasefire. Y’know, the ones where Ukraine wasn’t present.
Or he met with some puppet nowhere near a position of power that will gladly do trump’s bidding to be installed as post war “leader”.
Honest question: which Iranian leader could realistically talk to Trump, and how?
For Iran apparently this is a time when being in a leadership role and using a phone or the internet are not compatible with remaining alive (together with family, quite a few neighbors and any nearby school or hospital). Even participating in a naval exercise that is supposed to be peaceful gets your whole ship torpedoed.
No, seriously, how would these supposed talks have happened and how would the US know that the person(s) they are talking to has any actual decision-making power? I am not saying talks don’t happen during a war but, looking at Russia and Ukraine, doesn’t it take weeks just to organize them?
“someone that never once in his life said something true claims…” - this is not a headline
His Yes Men probably got told to fuck off by the Iranians, so they dug up the number of some Persian rug merchant in Minnesota.
Check the stock trading…
What a world where I’m not even left with the slightest doubt that it’s the US lying here
Supposedly the weather is really bad right now so we can’t do much bombing any how.
