President Donald Trump has pushed to bring the war with Iran to a speedy end: He stepped up bombing raids. He threatened to wipe out infrastructure. He has attempted diplomacy and ordered a naval blockade. But Tehran is in no rush to cut a deal.
Despite the assassinations of its leaders and the damage to an array of military sites, Iran’s regime seems to have benefitted politically from the attacks started by the U.S. and Israel, according to a Western diplomat with knowledge of the conflict and five Western officials, all with knowledge of intelligence assessments on Iran. The regime is, improbably, more stable now than before the war and slightly more hard line, five of the officials said.

Another English 101 fictitious composition...
AI does a far better job of lying than does any of the ‘silly people’ in our media.
Yea, they’re really comfortable pi$$ing away half a billion $/day.......idiot.
If not totally fictional probably Democrats rooting for Iran to win . With 42,000 murdered I doubt the remaining survivors have any more love for the regime.
This really does read like the effort of ill-informed rookies. Completely misses the economic side, and misreads the obvious power struggle disrupting the government of Iran.
Patient? What a joke. We are facing a delusional, hateful, arrogant, faction of fanatics who have been terrorizing their own population - in addition to promoting terrorism outside their own borders however and whenever they can. They are losing at an immense level, and are doing the only thing they can do - hope that it all goes away. It won’t, no matter how much the pathetic liberals pushing these narratives want it to.
Reporter: "How long are you willing to wait until you get a response from Iran?"
Trump: "Don't rush me, Jeff...we were in Vietnam for 18 years, we were in Iraq for many, many years..."
He also mentioned the length of time of WWII and Korea.
(Highlighting how long these conflicts took is somehow meant to be a reassuring answer to the question posed.)
Honestly, analysis of the irrational and murderous leaders of Iran in the context of normal people is a fool’s errand.
They unhesitatingly mowed down 35-40,000 dissidents in public for not supporting the regime. Were ready to unemotionally hang eight young women in public.
Not like people you’d meet in Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.
Naw I was told weeks ago they were DESPERATE to make a deal.
Trump’s sixty-two days are mainly gone.
Evidently the ones we were talking to then were desperate to make a deal. Now they're out of the picture. Not too hard to understand.
Agreed. 100% fiction by MSM who are desperate to grasp any straws of negativity. Iran’s leaders are not “patient” but rather they are backed into a corner with no way out. If they surrender they will be strung up like Qaddafi. But alternatively there is no way they can inflict much damage by fighting as their military has been shredded. The only remaining strategy is to shut down the straits and see if Trump caves. But this strategy is also backfiring as Iran is running out of money, water etc.
Ultimately it is a war between the US military and the US media. If IRGC wins the media war (as Taliban and Vietcong did) then it wins in the sense that it stays in power. But it will be a pyrric victory.
You can relate to the new gay Ayatollah.
“Evidently the ones we were talking to then were desperate to make a deal. Now they’re out of the picture. Not too hard to understand.”
Or I was just lied to. Fewer steps, less mental gymnastics.
Why do we post this garbage? At least put a barf alert on this and link to the internet archive instead of directly linking to these clowns.
Democrats are the new US Ayatollacrats.
They fully support the IRGC and should SELF DEPORT to their new homeland.
I guess some already kind of did by moving to the UK and EU so they’re getting closer!
They already attacked Iran’s crown prince in Berlin.
The new Ayatollacrats don’t even care if the IRGC gang rapes and hangs women.
Who needs enemies when you have the enemedia.
The US hasn’t dropped a bomb in 2 weeks. Since they’ve reached a magical day does that mean Trump has to reposition the troops? What a silly analysis.
