The Gulf Arab allies had been negotiating through Pakistan with Iran.
Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are now joined by Turkey in the construction of the agreement, which is important because Turkey now represents the figurative center of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The GCC and President Trump are not going to end Iranian Islamic extremism without the umbrella political organization of the Brotherhood accepting terms.
[VIA TRUTH SOCIAL] – “I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE. An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Hope this isn’t just another maybe. If it is, just go in there and finish it.
Iran Agrees To Give Up Enriched Uranium as Deal With Donald Trump “Largely Negotiated”: Report
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/iran-agrees-to-give-up-enriched-uranium-as-deal-with-donald-trump-largely-negotiated-report/articleshow/131287875.cms
Just finish the Job Mr. President.
You do not negotiate with Terrorists!!!!!!
It is reported that Iran hides its enriched uranium in at least 3 separate locations. The details of this agreement will be interesting. And while not part of the initial motive of the US, I wonder how this deal now affects the hopes of the Iranian civilians, who had hoped that the military intervention was a path toward freeing the country from the Islamic occupation.
‘…Iranian civilians… hoped that the military intervention was a path toward freeing the country from the Islamic occupation.’
“Islamic occupation”?
Isn’t Iran nearly 100% Islamic in the first place?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country
Combining the “Islamic occupation” misperception with a similar reveal on previous reader comment page, we see apparent coordinated “perception management” at work.

“Unrestricted warfare” includes perception management.
Q: Why is the government apparently waging unrestricted warfare on its own people?
A: Don’t call it “unrestricted warfare”. Consider it benevolent, steering the inexorable decline of the US for a “soft landing” to prevent complete catastrophic collapse that would otherwise occur.
Of course, this leads to certain US entities retaining absolute power in the coming end state: A diminished US under soft totalitarianism as part of a multi-polar global order anchored in China’s industrial/scientific might.
The same entities that were accorded absolute power by the events of 9/11, with the overwhelming evidence of (1) covert controlled demolition (2) largely buried – both aspects that only one agency* in particular could effect.

Even if this were true, and as you implicate Israel, once again, with nefarious activities, now under the guise of China pulling the strings, the Bible says the kings of the East pull out from supporting the Antichrist. All of this is done under the direct control of God. The demise of the world is done by haters of God, who think they can fight against the Almighty. We have to stay true to God, we will be persecuted for our belief, the world as we know it will roll up like a scroll and God will create a new earth and a new Heaven. All of this maneuvering and conjecture and creation of division is only pressing us farther to the mark. You are, in fact, hastening the end rather than delaying it. Sheep and goats. Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
Thank you. 1000 upvotes.
One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10. God doesn’t waste words. EVERY means EVERY.
Job said “I know You can do all things and no plan of Yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:1
“The mind of a man plans his way but the LORD directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9. God was, is and will always be in complete control of His creation. Every single thing moves according to His eternal direction.
Words composed by many scribes, over much time, with many promises, none of which have ever been fulfilled. Rational thinking is abandoned when religion(s) enter the equation. Keep on hoping.
The World would be a much better place if The Golden Rule were APPLIED. Too simple for too many.
Who implicated Israel?
Gaslighting runs rampant.
Educate yourself, ffs.
These trolls are getting tiresome…
Nope.
Art does not understand that Radical Islam is by every definition, forced occupation of any nation under its absolute authority.
No, Islam is far worse than “forced occupation” of a nation.
Forced occupation can be pushed out eventually. Islam is a mass formation religious cult, inside the people themselves.
I think they call that a distinction without a difference.
Only about 37% IIRC
It is Islamic by force. I know many Christian Iranians who still have family back in Iran. I know many Islamic Iranians who fled Iran and still have family in Iran. The sheer force of repression by the government is something beyond our grasp in the Western world. Practically every family knows someone who has been imprisoned or executed. It is an occupation.
“It is Islamic by force”
Islam itself is “Islamic by force”, it is written into the Quran.
“Slay the infidel wherever you find him.” (9:5, 2:191).
The entire Middle East is “Islamic by force.”, “occupied by Islam”. The US ain’t gonna change that.
The US under jimmy carter was a major facilitator of the islamic regime’s occupation of Iran.
The US wrongly helped impose this murderous regime on Iran, and it therefore has a moral duty to help free its people.
The islamic republic poses an existential threat to the world.
” Isn’t Iran nearly 100% Islamic in the first place?”
No. It most certainly is not. Not even close.
And wikipedia is not a valid source for such information. It is a highly biased leftist tool.
The “perception management” effort here is being done by you.
You’re pushing islamofacist lies.
MAGA
In a nutshell:
Can we trust that the Iranian regime will adhere to an agreement the way President Trump interprets it?
This is why the other Arab states, as well as Turkey being involved, driving this is vital and more important than people give credit.
Also, timing matters. Trump visits with Xi in China; the discussions are received well, deals started to be constructed. Deals benefiting all.
On way home, aboard AF1 Trump says (I’m paraphrasing): Iran will be annihilated. That message is repeated while the Arab states continue to strike Iran (UAE) and work on bringing about a peace treaty.
Putin visits Xi, after many visits with US officials. That trip also goes well.
And now….a deal….
It’s about the Uranium, driving and eliminating the radicals out of Iran….that takes all of the alignment above.
Now the Dems and media will try to sabotage to protect certain people.
Uranium can be traced.
It remains to be seen who will still be commenting on the consultations during the negotiation process once the Iranian regime announces its version of the “agreement” and differences from President Trump’s account become apparent.
As stated before, Iran is a big place, with lots of hidey holes.
I would hate to be on the American team collecting the uranium. The RGCC is far more dangerous.
This is Iran. It’s another stall for time. Ambiguity proceeds deceit.
It is the Arab world plus India and China bearing pressure on Iran. They may be so inane that they reject this pressure, yet those consequences will be catastrophic for them.
Come on Guys! This President has proven to us time and again that we can trust HIM. I will NEVER trust Iran in any way. That is enough for me.
Negotiating with terrorists never ends well.
‘Negotiating’ implies both sides alter their positions.
I don’t see that Trump has changed from”Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon or enriched uranium.”
If President Trump gives into the Iranians, he is completely wrong, I support President Trump 100% on everything, but on this problem he would be wrong. He needs to destroy the Iranians, not the people the government..
How does one take the fly specks out of the pepper?
One example would be the US occupation of Japan post WW2. That lasted several years as a new Constitution was drawn up and a new government was formed.
I’m not sure the American public would support such a thing in Iran. It would mean a long term military presence and a large infusion of $$$
I believe President Trump has a plan he wants to implement with certain people in positions of government.
Much like the situation with our fumbling, bumbling idiots, and our seaeyeaye. Stronger backbones required here in our elected?? officials. So regret Tulsi leaving.
It’s amazing how so many believe they know the real goals of the US government, that they are the same as reasonable, moral and ethical, decent folk. That the goals are what the government tells us.
To say “If… Trump gives into the Iranians, he is completely wrong…” assumes that the real goals he is pursuing (as puppet) are what you think they are, and what he pretends.
If the goals are to further steer the sinking the US as part of a long-running “managed decline” Program thought by its architects to be better than complete collapse otherwise looming, then Trump is not “completely wrong”.
You’re gonna have to expand your thinking beyond the trees, to the forest.
We don’t pretend here. You pretend to know things and flaunt your knowledge pretentiously. Either post links to your data/facts, or troll elsewhere.
You sound like a CCP operative.
Honesty and respect and the truth no longer exist in most of this world and to Trust or believe most of those ME countries will always prove to be wrong.
Canadians will probably get a laugh out of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Mark Carney is the King of MOUs, but they never lead to fruition. They’re all for show.
If Trump pulls this off without another bombing campaign or troop insertion, it will be quite the coup as you’re still dealing with an apocalyptic regime.
Whatever is in this so called “Memorandum of Understanding” is irrelevant, Iran will not honor it.
Yea, and the mullahs go sucker, doo doodoo dooo doodoo.
the Brotherhood
You kidding me
So now the devil is the mediator
I guess I don’t understand your comment and objection. “The devil” is and always was the “mediator” in every single majority Muslim nation. That PDJT believes we can do business with said nations on an increasingly successful scale is what’s new. And that, of course, remains to be seen.
I will say that I’ve noticed the internet continues bearing testaments to a whole lot of converts coming out of that death cult and into life over the past few years. Glory be to God. His will be done. His kingdom come.
Amen.
It looks to me like one side is playing chess, and the other is playing Russian roulette. I will let you figure out which one is chess.
But the main reason for the military attacks and blockade will not be addressed by this? (Getting the Uranium out to prevent Iran from making nuclear weapons)
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202605245479
And reopening Hormuz would only restore the way it was before the attacks – except Iran will now levy fees for transit? How is that a “win” ?
The Trump admin can spin this any way they want, we are witnessing prima facie backing down after depleting military weaponry (that was already too thin).
Sheesh. The willful cognitive dissonance here is beyond astounding.
Tell us whose responsibility it is to keep International Waterways open.
Are you being paid by the IRGC to be here?
Even if Iran pretends to agree with this MOU, they won’t honor this or any other so called agreement.
Imagine the cost of remaining mobilized for 60 days while Iran plays games at negotiations. This sounds like my president got taken.
I’m not for a minute taking what Reuters and Axios report as anything close to a truthful representation of what’s actually in the deal. They have no idea where the negotiations actually stand.
I also suggest that everyone respect Salena Zito’s original astute observation to take Donald J Trump seriously, not literally. He doesn’t call it “The Weave” for nothing. It’s what he does that matters, not what he says or tweets.
I support Peace. Peace is the ideal goal.
President Trump was elected primarily to defeat our enemies within.
I pray that President Trump can now pivot fully toward excising the cancer that’s been killing this country since the “light bearer” and his demonic schemes and wicked machinations entered into effect once ‘it’ first infested the Whitehouse beginning January 20th 2009.
The wars we find ourselves in are spiritual. Holy wars in their very nature. Always have been. Just look how you yourself described the signs of these times with “light bearer” and “demonic schemes and wicked machinations.”
You just need to understand that these dark spirits and demons know no borders of national boundaries…least none that they respect.
I really wanted to see that regime torn out by the roots for the sake of the world and the Iranian people but our stated goal was NO NUKE for Iran and it appears that this has been achieved – at least for now. I’m afraid it would cost us the midterms and many soldier’s lives if we went for regime change.
We need to survive the mid-terms – there is still so much to do in a not very long time.
The goal will not be achieved until all the uranium has left Iran and safely lies in U.S. hands.
And hopefully we do not use mad radiation experts like we have on the virology side.
What stops them from starting over …..or simply buying a bomb from someone? I’m worried that this regime will always have the same goals. It’s what they do.
If President Trump were to abandon the people of Iran he would be kissing the midterms good-bye.
He’s not that dumb.
In the opinion of many, those presently holding the power in Iran see this as but scribble on paper to be set aside after the Americans have left.
Sounds like it’s a MOU that Iran will continue to negotiate. Tough call bomb or keep trying.
Why not just keep the blockade on. If the Iranians start shooting again then respond accordingly.
I cannot understand why they continue to negotiate with terrorists. They want us dead! Stop. Just stop.
The Iranians will not agree to anything significant that hasn’t already been achieved through attacks. That’s my prediction. Unfortunately, I don’t think things will go back to a beneficial pre-war situation in the gulf.
Trump is being played.
The Iranians are smart enough to know that the longer they can drag this out the more damage it will do to Trump.
They have no intention of adhering to any deal.
What damage can it do to President Trump? He can’t run for office again regardless of what happens in Iran. The “republicans” will take a hit if gas prices are still over $4 in November, but it’s not like they are being any help to the President anyway.
They can cause him to lose the House and/or Senate.
My question still stands. How does that damage the President? With the exception of trying to impeach him, again, the republican’s are doing what the democrats will do if they take over congress. Hell, President Trump is 16 months into his second term and he can’t even get his appointments confirmed by the “republican” lead senate, or get them to pass the a bill that has 80% support with voters. What good are they?
I see what you mean.
He will be damaged in that it will be much harder for him to accomplish what he needs to accomplish for this country.
I guess you could say that won’t damage him directly.
Maybe better to say, it will damage what’s left of his presidency.
The United States must replace the hapless IAEA and do the “non-enrichment” verification on a continuing basis. Do not trust, and verify!
Teams of inspectors from regional players would work. None of the surrounding Arab countries want Iran to have nukes.
You can’t trust a country that uses bribery and corruption as a means to a political end.
Lol, as if the U.S. is pristine on that count!
Btw, you’re on Treehouse, not Bluesky
I guess we’ll have to leave the job to the aliens then.
“The President of Iran:
“We are ready to assure the world that we are NOT SEEKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. We are not seeking instability in the region.”…..
Rubio addresses the panicans about the potential Iran deal.
In the meantime, President Trump offered an update to his TS post from yesterday evening, referenced in the sundance’ opener.
Today, President Trump wrote on TS (bolding is mine):
“One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration – THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact!
The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!
Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.
I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP”

If this is all true and all the other reports coming out are true, this is a massive massive massive victory for President Trump. Basically nobody — I repeat, nobody (from senators to world leaders and more with very rare exception) — thought President Trump could accomplish all of this. The few who did include the Prime Minister of Greece, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq, the Prime Minister of Qatar, and a handful of others. Most thought Trump would just agree to a watered down version of the JCPOA (Obama Iran deal). By all indications, this emerging agreement is far better than that and actually accomplishes what Barack Obama could not: Trump seems to have stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Cont….
If PJDT really believes he has Iran “on the ropes”, then I think that he is STILL getting incorrect “intelligence”.
Don’t understand why Trump keeps announcing things that haven’t happened with regards to Iran. They will just keep playing him because of this tendency of his.
Let the man work. He’s earned that right.
As far as I know a ‘MOU’ is non-binding and a statement of the terms of an agreement. It is just the beginning of getting to a final agreement.
And as the world turns on stupid. This process shows you the difference between a (Businessman and a Politician), for true businessman life is a negotiation and the final agreement as the contract says can be changed at some future time.
Politician, an agreement is the final say on the matter, then they move on to the next ridicules idea they can come up with to make themselves look as if they are on top of everything. Plus, they leave all the details to the bureaucracy.
The terms of the deal will tell us if Trump has backed himself too far into a corner or if he has been in control the entire time. I hope it is the latter.
From Arab and Iranian source perspective:

Inside story: Iran-US deal takes shape but thorniest contentions lie ahead
https://amwaj.media/en/article/inside-story-iran-us-deal-takes-shape-but-thorniest-contentions-lie-ahead
The deal wheel is still spinning like it has been.
“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed”
deal then no deal, maybe a deal, lets make a deal etc etc.
If a “deal” is finally made it will be so flakey the upper crust will crumble.
It like making a deal at a flea market for something.
Trump is trying to make a deal with a motley crew of ?
So I am not optimistic.
Beware of a Taqiyya, “lawful deception.”
Google AI seeks to sugar coat the term in an enquiry but when asked about Mark Durie’s work on the subject does give a reference to his “The Third Choice.”
Any truce negotiated with the Iranian Mullahs will be as effective as issuing a restraining order against Ted Bundy!
This ain’t gonna happen, Mister President! Finish the job!

Senior administration official says the Iran agreement will not be signed today, but indicated progress on a deal.
“If the Iranians make significant accommodations on the enrichment question then we will make significant accommodations on sanctions relief,” the official said.
On the nuclear issue, the current plan is to deal with the entire stockpile of enriched material.
“If you have a final deal where the Iranian are enriching, then you don’t have a final deal,” the official added.

They are not going to end ‘Iranian Islamic extremism’ until they get Israel on a leash. Nothing will fundamentally change there until there is a security agreement in place with regional nations willing to put boots on the ground to stop the unending Israeli aggression against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and others. Without this security architecture in place there can be no peace. This is not something the US can put together because clearly the US has no ability to rein in Israel whatsoever.
October 7. Back to your goats.
The answer is in extending the Abraham Accords. And much progress continues to be made there especially if Iran agreement comes through.
Rubio stated that all roads to instability in the Middle East lead back to Iran and its proxy militants. He would be right. Hezbollah in Lebanon (problem for both Lebanonese government and Israel), Hamas in Gaza (problem for both Israel and Palestinian Authority government), Houthis in Yemen (problem for both Saudi Arabia and international shipping).
Lebanon may enter Abraham Accords if Hezbollah is weakened (or destroyed). Syria may enter Abraham Accords if some understanding of Golan Heights can be reached. If the Palestinian Authority controlled Gaza (instead of Hamas) as well as the West Bank the relationship would greatly improve. The PA already works with Israel on some security issues as it is.
Boots on the ground to control Israel (peacekeepers?) would simply be attacked by the same groups attacking Israel.
Abraham Accords and destroying Iran’s ability to fund and support proxy terror groups is the answer, IMO.

They have tried the ‘obey or be killed’ approach you advocate for 80 years and now Israel and Jews are more despised than before WWII. What I recommended might work but it assumes a changing of the guard. The US needs to stay within its own hemisphere and mainly within her own borders. And Israel just be dropped as a Jews-only ethno supremacist state with messianic ambitions to control the entire region. As long as she persists as such the Abraham accords are just a sleazy con.
Methinks there can be no Deal with Iran. Seems to me Trump is feeling cornered into a bad deal because of how High Gas Prices are imperiling the MidTerms. A Bad Deal for the sake of a Deal is no good. I’m not going to pretend I know how to Win this war, but Trump chose to go down a path and I believe we must now go all the way. No Compromise- any Deal we make– they will violate. We need to truly decimate their abilities to make war and threats and keep the pressure on for as long as it takes.
Trump doesn’t make bad deals. E..V..E..R.

@ScottJenningsKY
🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following:
-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.
-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.
-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.
-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.
-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.
-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.
Deal should have 2 phases:
Step 1 – Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.
Step 2 – Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.
Continue reading….
The troublesome part is simply…who is really in charge of Iran? Who is signing this “agreement” if it ever gets to an actual “deal”? How can they keep the terms of the “deal” if major forces within are unwilling to agree?
Also will Iran get to keep charging millions of dollars to control passage within the Hormuz Strait?
President Trump is pushing hard to get out of this tar pit mess. I expect some type of “deal” that might bring temporary relief but ultimately doesn’t solve the nuke problem. The midterms are likely a disaster because the oil situation cannot resolve itself in weeks. It will take many months for the supply chain to stabilize (per conservative experts). All the while, inflation is roaring upward and pissing off the heartland.
The last time we won a war, it didn’t end with a memorandum of understanding.
I’m extremely disappointed with PDJT47 on this issue.
A Memorandum of Understanding is the eading of tensions and some restrictions while the drafting of the final document based on pre approved agreement conditions to end war) are finalized and signed. It is not the final document.
I don’t care what the foreign policy “experts” call it, it’s not victory.
We will face Iran again in ten years if the mullahs are not utterly defeated.
Here’s the latest news about the status of this “deal.”
This is a reliable source.
