Trump Reveals Bigger Peace Play Behind Iran Deal Talks
Red State ^ | May 25, 2026 | Nick Arama

On Sunday, President Donald Trump said the deal that they are working on will involve "no dust, no dollars" and will not be like the failed Iran deal of Barack Obama, that it will be a good deal, or there will be no deal. He clapped back at criticism from people he said didn't know the

Now, Trump has dropped a big update to the deal — that ultimately, it could turn out to be a more far-reaching peace deal. He said negotiations were proceeding "nicely" with Iran.

Trump announced on Truth Social that he had held a conference call at the White House on Saturday with leaders and senior officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain to discuss the conflict in Iran.

If he does this it will be a miracle. I've tried keeping up with these negotiations and confess it's like sailing in pea spoup fog on Lake Michigan. Nobody really seems to know anything.

Yeah, and a couple of days ago he was saying we were ONE hour from dropping the hammer on ‘em.

I lost my patience for a while but I’ve resigned to believing he knows what he is doing and we don’t know everything he does and for that matter don’t need to know.

If the bulk of the Middle East Arab countries adopt the Abraham Accords, will that open the Strait & secure I-rans uranium?

ZZZzzzz….

Indications are that the Iranians haven’t even been negotiating, for weeks, and all this talk is just to settle markets. Which is, thankfully, working. It’s got to be hard on those still on the emotional roller coaster like we saw around here on Saturday, though.

“I lost my patience for a while but I’ve resigned to believing he knows what he is doing and we don’t know everything he does and for that matter don’t need to know.”

LOL!! Looks, like you’re coming to my “sailing in fog on Lake Michigan” view of these negotiations. If you’ve never done that fog sailing, it’s like being wrapped in a wet, gray blanket with only about five feet of visibility. Not much fun, expecially because there ae lake freighters out there.

Me too.

Donald, when you have something concrete, call me. I'll be at the Cenotaph for Memorial Day.

“Donald, when you have something concrete, call me.”


So, people like you don’t care about the subject. But they care enough to come and claim they don’t care and comment on how Trump should do things.
Sure, that makes sense.

Several. For starters, Trump never says who in Iran he is supposedly negotiating with, which is a pretty obvious omission from any claims of negotiation. And all of the Iranians continuously say they are not negotiating, at all, and their last terms are final. There’s been no more meetings in Pakistan, or anywhere, of people from Iran and the US face to face, nor any future plans of it, just Pakistan running back and forth, doing who knows what.

Is there talk between Trump and the Sunni Arab leaders, when he gives those names out? Probably, but it’s not to review new proposals from Iran. It’s to try to keep the hope of the Abraham Accords alive, and to try to convince them from forming a new Muhammed Accord between them and Iran/Pakistan against Israel (or more specifically, against its current leader, who may actually be on his way out, possibly as a by product of all this).

If you don't trust President Trump, why are you posting on FR?

Hell, why are you here?

I think he’d welcome it. He wouldn’t have gotten back in the WH, had they not tried to impeach him the last time.

“What happened to unconditional surrender.”

Trump dealing style is to ask for the moon and settle for Mt. Everest.

It’s in his “Art of the deal”.
