Trump says the U.S. and Iran getting along very well
REUTERS ^ | July 1, 2026

Posted on 07/01/2026 8:22:35 AM PDT by McGruff

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday ​the United States was getting along ‌very well with Iran and that recent meetings in Qatar went well.

"The denuclearization of ​Iran is moving along well," Trump ​told reporters. "They've had very good meetings, and ⁠we'll see."

The U.S. and Iran ​held technical talks in the Qatari capital of ​Doha on Wednesday as they seek to agree on the flow of shipping through the Strait ​of Hormuz and secure a lasting ​ceasefire, a source with direct knowledge of the talks ‌and ⁠an Iranian official said.

Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff met the prime minister of Qatar — a mediator ​in the ​talks alongside ⁠Pakistan — to lay groundwork for the negotiations, but would not be ​attending the discussions themselves, the ​source ⁠with direct knowledge of the talks said.

"We're getting along very well," Trump said, adding ⁠Iran ​has "come a long way."

Oy vey. They still have plutonium. They still are causing issues in the Strait. They still launch rockets and drones at others. They are still talking about annihilating us.

I am starting to get Baghdad Bob vibes from Trump in regards to Iran.

We’re getting along fine except we’re lobbing missiles at each other.

Yes, we just have to intermittently bomb the snot out of them to get past sticking points. 😆

He’s all about calming the stock market, reducing oil prices and mitigating the midterm election damage.

You’d prefer free palatine DSA win I guess, they will make AOC look weak.

In the same way Mr. and Mrs. Brooks got along on 'In Living Color'...

Trump’s “carrot & stick” approach to negotiation. Very “Art of the Deal” also similar to what serious poker players do. Break\manipulate the psychology of the table. I am unconvinced it works when dealing with religious fanatics. To them knocking over the table and setting the room on fire with themselves in it is a win!

I wonder if he thinks he can turn them to our side in the current world war. Away from the Russians and Red China.

It is not unknown for such things to happen.

Zactly. The message is for the many factions of the Iranian leaders. Make them tear themselves apart.
I don't understand why so many FReepers can't get past a headline.

Fortune global magazine reported the Strait of Hormuz is technically open,
but traffic is heavily constrained and operating well below normal capacity.

While merchant and oil shipments have slowly resumed following the recent
US-Iran ceasefire, the route remains risky and highly congested, Fortune reports.

Give him some time. They are negotiating the strait right now and oil is flowing. $70/bbl is a huge victory. Who cares about the rest. Do you think their nuke making abilities are destroyed?

This is the biggest victory since WWII and the left does not want to admit it as do any of the FReyores.

“You’d prefer free palatine DSA win I guess, they will make AOC look weak.”

Just stating the facts. Nowhere in my post did I indicate my preferences (which are decidedly against any Democratic Socialist” winning any election). But, I’d also spell “Palestine” correctly if I did.

Maybe that’s what his intentions are. Understandable for any President.

Especially your first two suggestions:
Stock Market/Oil Prices

“We’re bombing IRGC forces in the Strait of Hormuz a whole lot less than we used to. We’re getting along very well.”

Iran under the IRGC will not give up their quest for nukes.

I don’t think Trump understands Islam.
