Trump teases ‘very big meeting’ with Iran on Saturday after Netanyahu talks
NY Post ^ | 4/7/2024 | Steven Nelson

President Trump announced Monday that his administration would convene direct talks with Iran later this week — saying that he hopes for “a deal” to avoid “the obvious” military alternative.

“We’re having direct talks with Iran,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“On Saturday we have a very big meeting … doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious.”

Trump added that the US is “dealing with them directly, and maybe a deal’s going to be made — that would be great. it would be really great for Iran.”

The greatest president of our lifetime, Biden, is still recovering in Rehoboth from all the great work he did.

That’s your buddy, Putin the Peacemaker, at work!

“Russia, China and Iran will hold talks on Iran’s nuclear program in Moscow tomorrow, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.”

“This is good news. Russia can supply Iran with non weapons grade uranium for Iran’s legitimate energy needs. Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and therefore would no longer be able to justify its uranium enrichment program. China can not under any circumstance see the Persian Gulf closed, especially while reeling from Trump’s tariffs.
I’ve been saying for awhile that Putin will successfully mediate an end to this U.S./Iranian standoff.”

$1= 1,050,000 Rials. This is regime change levels of hyperinflation. Essentially Iran’s currency is worthless.

If the military isn’t getting paid, they will kick the mullahs out. We can hope.

Recall the scene in “2” with Hyman Roth returning to the US, at an airport, ostensibly to vote in an upcoming US election. He was killed by Michael’s people despite the public venue and security present. Taught us that it can be done if sufficient desire is present to do it and sustain the losses.
Never assume someone or some country is too well protected, has too many friends, too much anything. Anyone can kill anyone if desire is there. Read ‘Day of the Jackal’ or further confirmation.

In a perfect phone call he must have promised a yuge meeting but warned the Iranians to make sure their life insurance policies were paid up just in case.

The Art of the Deal.
