comprehensive deal with the Iranian regime

Absent Trump, this would be yet another Lucy teeing up the football moment.

Iran wants a way out. Trump is playing this masterfully.

Sounds like Iran is ready to ‘discuss things’ and Pompeo doesn’t want those discussions being undercut by people trying to rush the effort.

Smart move.

Just the opposite of quid pro quo and pay for play.

Its “The Hill”. GOP Establishment propaganda.

There is probably a GS-13 somewhere who is upset that the Secretary of State is acting like he has a role in foreign policy.

Think tactical maneuvers.

Iran Regime will not negotiate, that’s a given.

US must appear to offer Iran Regime negotiation option.

During interim, US must not appear to be supporting rebels inside Iran.

When Iran Regime attacks US, and they will, then this Pompeo gesture goes bye-bye.

The Rats were drooling for the Mueler report.
How did that work out for them.
The Rats were drooling for the Mueler testimony.
How did that work out for them.
The Rats were drooling for impeachment.
How is that working out for them so far.
Now the Rats are drooling for Bolton testimony.
I wonder how that will work out for them.

The Mullah’s in Tehran are not going to pay (give up any objective) for any deal that requires a change in their behavior that pushes to extend their influence and hold in any area in the Middle East, by means of the Quds Force or any other tools they have.

They will no more “reform” their ways than will the dictators in North Korea.

Iran will go the way of North Korea, let their people starve and still keep control of them, without ever reforming.

Why? What they formed the Quds Force for is an existential part of their foundation and their purpose, their basis of existence. They can be overthrown, eventually, but they cannot really reform because any true reform will foster the ability of a new revolution to kick them out, and the Mullahs know it.

Screw Iran. Recognize Khuzestan as an independent state, make sure they can enforce their own sovereignty, and Iran will have almost no oil, and thus no means to finance their bad actions.

MeK is a literal cult of self described Islamo-Marxists who were engaged in terrorist attacks against the U.S. personnel in Iran during the 1970s. The government shouldn’t be dealing with them, period.

Knowing state, it’s probably to protect the dissidents from betrayal.
