Indeed! I feel it in my bones, POTUS Trump is making the same mistake that every previous US administration has made, which is to think it can succeed in “critical negotiations” with the demonic genocidal regime occupying Iran where others have failed.
It’s not a good sign when he continuously conflates Iran and Iranian people, which are taken hostage, with the jihadist regime occupying Iran. That’s like calling the Israeli hostages held by Hamas as Gaza residents.
