    Trump is all bullshit. He fucked up and a country with a bunch $20,000 drones is sending him packing with no concessions. What an idiot.

    Wut??? The post under this one literally reads Trump and Iran had talks over the weekend and reached a resolution? You can’t trust any media coming out of the US these days.

    “However, Trump declined to say to whom Witkoff was speaking, saying he did not want them to be killed”

    By who? Themselves?

    It’s ok, they’re negotiating with a random guy that runs a food truck instead

    Just a reminder that Iran wants 1) reparations for war damage 2) all US forces out of the gulf, including bases, and 3) oil going out via the strait to be settled in Chinese Yuan. 

    I don’t think they’re going to budge from those any time soon. And the US giving in to any of them would be a big fucking defeat.

    So the strait may be closed for a long while. 

  6. Trump at this point isn’t really fit to negotiate with the kid holding the tin can on the other end of the string

    If the person you are “negotiating” with doesn’t have permission to negotiate with you… Then you are not really negotiating, are you?

    Trump said random shit so the stock market didn’t tank. Iran has a say when this war ends. If Trump is tacoing why would Iran back down?
    Let the Americans reload for October?

  9. Hes been negotiating with a Nigerian prince whos been kidnapped and needs Trump to send the ransom.

    This war can’t be ‘won’.

    Iran has proxies everywhere. They can mine the strait from the coast.

    They still have a ton of ground forces.

    If Trump wants to remove their uranium he needs boots on the ground, let’s see how that works out for him.

    Trump had no plan and is flapping like a headless chicken.

  11. This isn’t a “negotiating”, the us is caving and backing out of our special military invasion or whatever. We are surrendering more or less due to economic, internal and economic pressure.

    Of course this admin will spin some bullshit about how we met our military objectives or whatever even though we will leave Iran more dangerous and antagonistic to the west.

    I hope you mediocre fools that voted for trump are getting what you want lol.

    He spoke to former presidents as well. They all denied it… bro is going schizo.

  13. This was the question I had asked in another sub and got downvoted.

    Who is calling the shots in this mosaic decentralized leadership structure.

    What happens if that party decided on a ceasefire, who is going to tell the guys blocking the strait?

  14. Trump negotiating with a random brown person and calling them the new supreme leader. They could be filipino for all we know.

  15. Is this kind of like when trump claimed he spoke with a former president who told him that they had wished they fought Iran?
    I can’t tell you who, though.

    Or, like when he claimed there is (are) allies already coming to help with opening the strait?
    I can’t tell you who, but they’re enthusiastic.

  16. they game him a fisher price phone and said it was a direct line to the iran supreme leaser

    How can anybody keep track of what’s happening. He’s constantly contradicting himself.

    Witkoff is doing jack shit. The most incompetent guy on earth, without counting Kushner, is trying to struck peace deals. What a delusional world maga lives in and what sad that the American people fell for this, again.

  19. but i thought he tweeted the opposite last night during his sunday night sundowning

  20. This is because the US is planning a ground invasion. Everything is lining up the same as Iraq. Do people really have that short of a memory? The lies are the same.

    I’m seeing bot accounts laying the groundwork for declaring victory… “iran is decimated” “capabilities degraded”.

    In a sense I hope their propaganda works because it gives Trump a face-saving “out” (at least a plausible out that will be repeated on right-wing radio/cable/net alt reality).

    I dont personally care if Trump saves face or if conservatives can maintain the fiction that they are competent. But I do care about de-escalation. Because the alternative is ground war and long term damage to the habitability of the cradle of civilization.

    “I’m totally talking with the leader of Iran, you guys don’t know him because he goes to a different school.”

  23. Trump got caught lying, so now he’s making up more lies to cover his previous lies.

    The Iranian Foreign Ministry said Iran has NOT been negotiating anything with Trump and nothing has been resolved, like Trump previously claimed.

    So now Trump is changing his story and saying Kushner did the negotiating, but he can’t name anyone he supposedly talked to because they might be killed.

    What a load of crap. I hate having a compulsive liar for president.

    > “But the people that seem to be running it, and they seem that based on really fact, because things they’ve said have taken place,” he continued.

    My head hurts man

  25. I’m negotiating with Iran right now.

    I’ll have a deal before Trump, it’ll be the best deal!

  26. This was my first thought when I read Trump is saying they’re in talks with Iran and Iran’s “leadership” says there are no talks.

    Of course, Trump could be full of shit just to calm the markets, but it’s more likely they aren’t talking to Iran’s current leadership.

    Even if this is bullshit, it’s propaganda to make Iran’s leadership start asking themselves and others who Trump is talking to. Paranoia.

  27. Iran’s civilian and military leadership is now operating semi-independently because the US and Israel killed almost all of Iran’s senior military and government leaders. It is like killing all the executives and board of a company, and now all the branch managers are doing their own thing as they see fit

    Jared Kushner being involved in war negotiations, no matter how fake, is so fucking crazy

  29. So they’re not negotiating with the Iranian government? They just call some random dude in Tehran and start negotiating with him?
