How 'bout "bombings are going very well" instead?
We get our embassy back.
IBT Taco Thursday TDSers.
No,no, no Mr. President, make them surrender like you promised.
One hopes this new delay is to give our assets time to prepare for whatever comes next. Because there is major unfinished business: Hormuz and the enriched uranium.
“Claims Talks ‘Going Very Well’”
Mr President, as I’m sure you are aware, there is no talking with these barbarians; no negotiation. The ONLY measure of success is that they can no longer wage any manner of war against their own population or the rest of the world.
Islam is a cancer on humanity. They have been at war with civilization for nearly 1500 years. We are currently in the latest escalation of that war. It is one we dare not lose.
Go to Art of the Deal...page 211.
What the press continue to downplay is that we’re still bombing Iran, taking out their missiles and leadership.
I’ve never seen that strikes against Iranian energy plants was a good idea anyway. Not yet anyway.
My hope is for the Iranian people to rise up and arrest, put on trial, imprison, or hang the Ayatollahs, and form a decent government. If that happens, they’ll need the energy plants to build a prosperous nation.
If we’ve given up on an uprising, then bomb them into the stone age.
All these public announcements about Iran giving us a “gift” and negotiations going “very well” are a bad idea. The IRGC is lying. They still are threatening and attacking (or at least trying to attack) ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiate in silence and announce a deal when it is done and we are absolutely positively sure that it can be enforced.
Just thinking out loud here and this is a bit wild and dicey, but it's the way Trump thinks.I think Trump may be negotiating with the IRGC, and others, to give them assurances that if they join the plan, they will not be cut out. In a way, he and Bibi are telling everyone–the IRGC, the protesters, and the other factions–that Iran can be a very wealthy country if the goal isn't terrorism. To them, Trump says, "Join the economic world and build a real country. We will help you. But to make sure you do as you promise, we are going to hold Kharg Island as collateral until the plan starts working."
This is essentially what Trump did in Venezuela–and that template is instructive.
What happened there wasn't regime change in the traditional sense. It was an economic off-ramp with teeth. Maduro's inner circle–including military and intelligence figures who had been designated terrorists and narco-traffickers–were quietly told that personal immunity, asset protection, and a functional economy were available if they stopped blocking the transition. The oil sector was the lever. PDVSA's access to international markets was the reward for compliance.
It was coldly transactional. But it was also coherent in a way that Iraq and Libya never were, because it didn't require the bad actors to become good people–just to become paid people with a stake in stability rather than chaos. Iran is a far more complex society with far more capable institutions. But the core logic transplants directly.

I’d say he’s talking with the sha’s son.
Making deals for oil,gas and rare earth, once all that is set up the rest of the guard is smoked.
He will keep pushing out the deadline further and further out.
There are no talks. Iran rejected everything.
Not sure why he keeps lying. Obviously trying to fool the public.
Dow off nearly 475 today - but oil down below $95 since
this announcement- he’s trying to not let the economy get too
bent.
Plenty of time to blow up the energy companies infrastructure
Great news! Let’s hope Netanyahu or whoever’s in control of Israel’s military doesn’t go behind his back and attack the energy plants anyway.
One minute “talks are going great”, next minute “they’re not serious”, next minute “talks are going great”. WTF. Don’t know what’s true anymore.
How 'bout "bombings are going very well" instead?
There are zero negotiations going on. Period.
The Mollahs don’t negotiate. Period.
Mr. President, just tell the Mollahs once again what you have already clearly stated to the world: “Complete and unconditional surrender!”
That’s the ONLY way forward.
Is this 10 days from now, or 10 days plus the original 48 hours? Or maybe it’s 10 days plus the 5 days he previously extended the deadline.
You can’t negotiate with Islam.
