The Associated Press ^ | April 13, 2026 | BY SHEIKH SAALIQ

Iran’s ambassador to India said Tehran is open to talks with the United States if Washington refrains from making “unlawful demands.”

Mohammad Fathali was referring to talks held in Islamabad and said the main sticking points were Iran’s nuclear program, war reparations and sanctions relief.

Asked about the prospects for future negotiations, Fathali told reporters in New Delhi, “If they (the U.S.) accept our conditions, it is possible.”

Talk ain’t gonna cut it anymore.

If you’re not serious - and repeated “talks” yield inadequate give on their part means, it’s time to kick some more muzzie extremist ass.

We have to stop playing these on and off again negotiation games with Iran. They will negotiate if no unlawful demands. They will negotiate if we cut off the IRGC’s money, blow up IRGC bases and kill IRGC leadership and soldiers. Start confiscating their wealth as a start. Find a way to bomb ships coming across the Caspian Sea. No more ceasefires. Negotiate while fighting.

We just talked. Now let’s have another round of bombings. Let’s blow up and tear up a few more things. Then we will talk some more.

Delay, delay, talk, talk until 60 days from start of action. It is so transparent Ray Charles could see it.

Unless they say ready to surrender why waste time on their stalling tactics. Hope they have plenty of candles.

“Start confiscating their wealth as a start.”

************

Yes because as long as they have substantial personal wealth they can largely escape the deprivations and hardships that they have brought upon their country. They will see things differently and stop playing games when the security of their own wealth is gone.

If the US accepts the Iranian ‘conditions’???
Gotta say, that’s a pretty ballsy stance to take. Think they can make it stick living in the dark?

They want to keep their rights in place to beat women to death for showing an ankle. Plus the free reign to murder thousands of protestors. Those sorts of “lawful conduct.”
