Delivering two messages today from his Truth Social account, President Trump notes the Pakistani and Arab negotiating teams are close to terms of an agreement. However, President Trump emphasizes that any negotiated end to the conflict must include the complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals!” ~ President DJT
EARLIER – “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
It is doubtful the finalized terms will be released today. However, Scott Jennings is reporting on some of the outlines of the agreement after he had discussions with a “senior Trump official” directly involved in the negotiations.
-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.
Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.
“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.
SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.
Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.
If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.
“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.” {source}
Multiple key republican senators like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham are not happy with what they are hearing. Most of the Israel-First ‘influencers’ are also not happy. Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are particularly upset. However, as with all things that involve rumor and speculation, the best approach is to wait and see what the deal entails.
I trust President Trump to find the optimal solution.
signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration.
Including Wendy Sherman who was part of the Clinton administration’s team that negotiated the nuclear deal with North Korea.
The 6.4 cent question how may deals are we going to make and the Iranians break before we say too bad you lose and finish what the Iranians started…
While it does not encompass ‘MAGA’, sadly what appears to be the anticipated deal does not assist teh Iranian people in any way. Furthermore, I don’t trust the IRGC. I don’t believe that they will turn over all the enriched uranium.
At what point is there or was there any requirement for assisting the iranian people? They can take control of their destiny if they so desire. But it will require them to rise up, fight, and die for their freedom. What it does not require is us dying for their freedom.
Regime change or assistance was never part of any of our stated objectives as it pertains to Iran.
We helped them plenty. The rest is on them.
Is it just me, or do I suddenly hear the sound of the doomer’s black-pill bombers taking off? Target, the Big T-House.
“Multiple key republican senators like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham are not happy with what they are hearing. Most of the Israel-First ‘influencers’ are also not happy. Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are particularly upset.”
Loomer, Levin, Graham, Cruz and all the other Israel Firsters can go to the front lines and lead the fight for Israel. President Trump wants to make a deal; apparently Israel does not. Probably has something to do with the Greater Israel Project.
Trust in Jesus first. Trust that President Trump is being assisted by God.
Simply put these people want President Trump’s rating to collapse giving Democrats a landslide in November. It’s not anything else! 😎
Critics like Cruz/Graham raise fair points—IF and i say IF…..the deal leaves Iran with enrichment, cash, and proxies intact, it’s a replay of past failures that funded terror plain and simple. But this is a wait and see game now…
President Trump’s is right to pursue deals over forever wars, but verification matters. The Israel First’ smears ALWAYS skip that Iran’s regime also calls for our destruction too…If we are Destructed there will be no more Israel… so we are the number one Target for them..
Greater Israel talk is fringe rhetoric vs. Israel’s actual security fights post-Oct 7.
Looks like the panicans and the Trump Disruption Force are out and about today.
Mark Levin is a loudmouth with TDS. The only reason he “backs” Trump is because his radio audience was leaving him in droves and he won’t have an audience for his books.
His support for Trump is out of convenience, and not out of support for any of his policies. I’m sure Levin hates the president with a passion. If Levin had his way there would be tens of thousands of American boots on the ground in Iran. Forget about it Mark!
Without an invasion of Iran you have to trust in negotiatiions. With an invasion you get the Iraq debacle.
Id rather a weakened Iran on warnung than “regime change” and nation building.
Maybe I’m dense, but what is “SAO”?
I grew up in an era when it was standard to spell out in full a name before using an acronym. The Stupid Arrogant Ogres (SAO) is a journalist organization that doesn’t believe in defining acronyms or the 5 W’s.
Question is why are we trying? No one actually believes that Iran will keep to any deal made anyway. We’ve knocked out their nuclear site, we’ve damaged their fighting ability until nations build it back up, which they will and no one actually is trying to open the strait but us who don’t need it, so again the question arises; why. No matter what happens Iran is going to say they won. Why prolong a battle we know that we’ve won but will never get that from the enemy. The dust? Chances are China has laid claim to that already too.
