Iranian negotiators will stop exchanging messages with the U.S. through intermediaries, and Tehran will move to fully close the Strait of Hormuz, in retaliation for ongoing ceasefire violations, Iran’s state-affiliated news outlet Tasnim said Monday.

Iran’s allies in the American Media do not have the power they used to have.

They are triple dog daring us...

[Nextrush]

Stuff happens.

[Alas Babylon!]

Iran’s state-affiliated news outlet Tasnim...

So, are they the ones in charge?

Do they have a building we can bomb?

We should keep whack-a-moling the IRGC and whatever pipsqueak who spouts trash against us.

Shocked, I tell ya. /s

Good. Hope this puts an end to the negotiation charade and forces our hand into finishing the job.

Oil is back up about $6/barrel this morning in trading.
Maybe some oil futures broker called up this news agency right before they bought some contracts. The ol pump and dump.

The 9th Century pig fornicating savages in Tehran are playing for time. They know that if the Rats take either chamber of Congress that they will prevail. Of course if the Rats take the House there’ll be one impeachment after the other.

Don’t worry in 12 hours they will once again pretend to be negotiating in good faith. Iran will never agree to US terms.

Even after they are bombed but not decimated. They need to be utterly destroyed like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY. Where is Curtis LeMay and Napalm when you need him?

And ain’t that a Beautiful thing.😃👍

Funny thing is the straights been closed by both sides
So big deal.

Carry on Mr. President.
Carry on 💯🇺🇸👍

How do we know if the “Iranian negotiators” even represent any responsible party of the Islamic Republic of Iran or the IRGC?

Bluff, pure and simple.

[Resolute Conservative]

As much as I hate for the Persians to suffer, they need a little more motivation (suffering) to clean their own house. Take out electrical grids.

[Miami Rebel]

It is utterly absurd how many red lines and ultimatums have been swept under the rug.
