President Donald Trump said talks with Tehran seemed "to be working out quite well," reiterating his positive portrayal of the negotiations on the Iran war without elaborating on the specifics of the discussions.

DETAILS:

• "I hear they are doing very well," Trump said in an interview on the "FOX5 1-ON-1" show with FOX5 Las Vegas journalist Tom Durian. The interview was published on Wednesday evening.

• Even as the Iran war has entered its sixth month and the two sides have so far failed to reach a permanent end to the conflict, Trump has repeatedly attempted to portray the talks positively.

RE: Give New York City to the IRGC in exchange for peace.

Ha. UN will rule later that the financial burden of taking on NYC that caused Iran to totally collapse will be a war crime.

In the end, Iran overthrown and only the fabulously popular NYC discount government grocery stores will be left over.

He’s certainly giving peace a chance. You’d think demonicRATS would at least give him some credit for that.

Plus a city in Michigan and a city in Minnesota to be named later.

They must a special phone setup and tell him he’s negotiating with “Iran.”

Give it up, Trump. You can’t make a deal with fanatics.

It appears that Turkey Saudi and Pakistan are encircling Iran,
probably because they cant count on the US to protect them any more.

Populationwise, they outnumber Iran 380 million to 100 million
and GDP-wise (on a Purchasing Power Basis) it’s 9 trillion to 1.8 trillion. Iran has Russia and Yemen.

I think it is another Moslem alliance directed at Israel, not Iran.

Saudi Arabia has never officially joined the Abraham Accords. Riyadh maintains its official stance that normalizing relations with Israel requires a clear, irreversible pathway toward a two-state solution for Palestinian statehood. The U.S. government reiterated that a bilateral civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia remains strictly conditioned by Washington on the kingdom eventually recognizing Israel and joining the Abraham Accords.
