Donald Trump said Iran begged him not to strike after they found out how big the planned strikes were.

Trump said that the strikes “would’ve been the biggest attack since World War II. It would’ve been disastrous for them.”

Trump confirmed, “Negotiations begin tomorrow afternoon.”

Trump trying to make another deal with Terrorists who have completely fooled and used him since the beginning of this war. Why is Trump falling for this?..... throwing the midterms under the bus, and why is dealing with Terrorists.....

Trump has not "fallen" for anything; to the contrary, he now accepts what he had previously rejected, the advice of his military and political advisors that passage through the Strait of Hormuz cannot be secured by American airpower alone. Nor can the refining and watermaking facilities of neighboring allied Gulf states be guaranteed.

So he is trying to negotiate his way out of his dilemma.

Let’s hope he doesn’t give away too much. In 18 months we should see alternative pipe lines come on line. But Iran cannot remain under current leadership. We’ve got to train a resistance.

AGREE. Then arm the citizens. Mark Levin has it right.

Your right. However, I don’t think President Trump makes a good wartime president.

The dude should have listened to the guy with the crazy orange hair who was campaigning for President in 2016 and 2024 promising to keep the U.S. out of stupid wars in the Middle East.

This is the head fake. It’s a psyop.

What is really happening (very few are talking about), is the only way regime change can happen: the civilian population is being armed. Albeit slowly.

The IRGC isn’t afraid of anyone, except their own people. Because the justice a pissed off population will dispense will be far more cruel than we ever could. And final.

That is how this whole thing ends. The negotiations are BS. Trump knows it. General Cain, Admiral Cooper, and LtGen Odom know it.

This is American-style fighting. Deception while following our doctrine. Regime change was always the objective despite what you’ve heard. Everything else was BS for the MSM and the masses to grovel over.

March 26, 2026, Trump claimed that Iran “is begging to make a deal” to end the war

On April 15, Trump told Fox Business News, “I think it’s close to over, I view it as very close to over.”

Again on April 15, Trump said, “I think they [Iran] want to make a deal very badly.”

On April 17, Trump claimed that Iran had “agreed to everything,” that “I think we will get a deal in the next day or two.”

On April 30, Trump claimed that Iran is “ “dying to make a deal”

Rinse, repeat

Sure Jan. He "accepts" this advice now. But yet when Iran breaks the conditions of the negotiations before any such negotiations even start?

Trump will be huffing and puffing his threats (biggest attack since World War II) again.

And again and again and again.....

I don’t for a minute believe the Iranians were running scared. I think it is Trump that is having the yips.

I’m tired of him using the N word and the D word.

Satan’s Muslim minions scoff at negotiations and deals. Their only deal is “Everyone dies except us”.

FTA....

A regional official says the proposal announced by Trump over the weekend calls for the U.S. and Iran to return to negotiations and continue working out many of the issues that have stymied prior progress on the deal.

The official, who is involved in the mediation efforts, said the proposal calls for reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and halting attacks across the region, including by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq on the Arab Gulf countries and Jordan.

The U.S., in exchange, will end its naval blockade on Iran and allow Tehran to export its oil as stated in the tentative ceasefire deal, he said.

_______________________________________

Summary: The US won’t bomb Iran. The US will not block the Strait. Tehran gets to export its oil.

Is there ANY upside to the US here?

Mister President, your ART OF THE DEAL DOESN’T WORK WITH THE IRANIAN RULERS.

CHANGE YOUR APPROACH. You are being played.

Because he has no other choice. He is flailing about, blustering, trying to find a place at which he can exit and claim victory.

Who do you bomb? Personally I would Berlin (as in WW2) Iran to smithereens.

First I would RFP contractors to rebuild Iran at the UN's Expense. The US would pull out of the UN and put up the UN real estate for sale to help the UN pay its bill to the US.
