Hashmatullah Falahat Pishe, head of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, urged negotiations on Friday, citing attempts by "third-parties" to provoke a conflict despite senior officials in Tehran and Washington rejecting war.

A fine idea — get rid of your mullahs first.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick”

This is exactly what Trump has been doing that is getting Iran to face reality.

J f’n Kerry, and DiFi should be locked up in Guantanamo prior to any talks. They are both a huge security risk going in.

They could take care of that and a few others by giving us that list of Congress-traitors who took bribes. Include evidence we can use.

While POTUS should not publicly announce preconditions, his team should take a hard line once they arrive.

However, the Iranian Parliament has no power and this guy is nobody. They might hang him tomorrow.

Yeah, I’ve been wondering if Kerry actually strenghtens Trump’s position. But that was not his intent, so JK is still a traitor breaking the law.

Yep!

President Trump got Iran to propose what he wants.

Plays them like he plays the Dems.
