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.
How Iron clad is this deal? Can it be changed the Minute a lefty gets in office?
That’s the problem – Once they get back in power – that Border will be wide open and this deal will be crushed and that’s what the Iranians are waiting for…. Another Democrat to come into office…
It doesn’t mean s**t. Iran will burn the scribble on paper the moment Trump’s out of office.
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.
Wendy Sherman won the Ugliest Woman in America title six years in a row!
Yes. Sherman was a feminist social worker and community activist that Clinton elevated. Talk about failing up. After appeasing N Korea and allowing them a nuke, she then does the same for Iran. Biden then made her deputy secretary of state under Antony Blinken.
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…
And the other elephant in the room? How is the IRGC going to be dealt with and by whom? These folks will never abide by anything the Iranian negotiators are signing off on.
The universal language is pain, but with group its they are asking for darkness… We should give it to them..
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.
Dead on.
regime change been -priority- it just did not work as in the UKRAINE/VENEZUELLA /IRAQ/SYRIA
….etc ..snkfart
If you look at all of the published objectives on the Iran war, regime change never appears. Not once. Trump does talk about regime change in generic terms ie: “we are dealing with a new regime,” but it isn’t a stated objective. I don’t think Trump cares who is ultimately in charge, as long as they do what we want. And I agree.
I also think we can all agree that it would a nice benefit if the Islamic regime fell. However that seems unlikely from the air. Which is probably why Trump is so hesitant to resume strikes. Because what’s the end point? We bomb them for another two weeks, and then what? The straight remains closed, the IRGC may as well be cockroaches. Are we sending marines to Kharg Island? Are we sending them to secure beaches at the straight? If you are worried about mission creep, that’s how we end up in a years long conflict. No, the Iranians can do their own fighting and dying. Nobody appreciates anything given to them, people only appreciate what they earn. Let them earn it. Or no. It’s their destiny.
You convinced me 😊
“Because what’s the end point? We bomb them for another two weeks, and then what? The straight remains closed, the IRGC may as well be cockroaches.”
It’s time to get a Tesla eh?
California To RUN OUT OF GAS In 6 Weeks!May 24, 2026
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger reveal that California has only six weeks of oil supply left if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed — nevertheless, state energy officials admitted that they have “no emergency plan” and that any contingency strategy is “proprietary” and “legally cannot be made public.”

Is there even a question about bad faith? You cannot bargain with someone who believes compromise with you is immoral.
Islam is a religious supremacy on steroids. Once you accept the axiom “we are better people,” then lying becomes protection. Coercion becomes compassion.
President Trump keeps acting as if he is facing a fellow real estate developer from New York or a banker.
Seems hasty to moan about “what appears to be the anticipated deal”, when nothing has been finalized nor made public.
yes..check….. HAL TURNER RADIO SHOW…..
Maybe the 10s of millions Iranians can try and help themselves. We have to put Americans first
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.
Let’s be honest about something: these “Greater Israel” and “Israel First” people don’t really care about the United States. They hate Israel so much that they’re openly rooting for Iran.
They’d accept Sharia law, just like Tucker, as long as Israel and the Jews get destroyed.
They use “Zionist” and similar labels as substitutes for “Jews” with built-in deniability. That’s the same old Soviet trick, later pushed by Ceausescu’s Securitate through the fraudulent “Palestinian” narrative.
They’re openly denying that Jewish Americans are Americans with the same right as everyone else to advocate for causes they believe serve this country. They also ignore that Jewish Americans and Jewish-owned businesses pay billions in taxes every year, far more than total U.S. aid to Israel.
They obsess over Jeffrey Epstein because he was Jewish, but ignore Oppenheimer, Feynman, Bethe, and von Neumann, who were also Jewish and central to America becoming the first nuclear power.
They ignore Admiral Hyman Rickover, the “Father of the Nuclear Navy,” who built one of the safest and most effective military nuclear programs in history.
They ignore Jewish contributions to American science, medicine, law, finance, industry, entertainment, computing, AI, aerospace, and defense. Levi Strauss helped create one of the most iconic American products in history: blue jeans.
But none of that matters to these poorly educated, historically illiterate haters. To them, Jews can help build America, defend America, innovate for America, and pay taxes in America, but still not qualify as “real Americans.” That says far more about the haters than it does about Jews.
And I guarantee some of these people will try to insinuate that I’m Jewish, married to a Jew, or have some other ulterior motive simply because I refuse to accept their worldview.
You left out Hayim Solomon, who financed the Revolution
America First.
You sound like Thomas Massie or MTG.
No matter what Trump agrees to with Iran, they will cheat, lie, stall, continue producing ballistic missiles, and try to get their hands on a nuclear bomb. There really is not a serious question about bad faith anymore, is there?
They are religious fanatics. They believe that God is on their side. That is what makes them so dangerous.
Yes.
Chairman Wicker Issues Statement on Negotiations with Iran – U.S. Senator Roger… (bolding is mine):
“We are at a moment that will define President Trump’s legacy. His instincts have been to finish the job he started in Iran, but he is being ill-advised to pursue a deal that would not be worth the paper it is written on. Our commander-in-chief needs to allow America’s skilled armed forces to finish the destruction of Iran’s conventional military capabilities and then reopen the strait.
Further pursuit of an agreement with Iran’s Islamist regime risks a perception of weakness.
We must finish what we started. It is past time for action.”
I don’t think it means what he thinks it means😊
Bot and paid for eh?
Looks like the panicans and the Trump Disruption Force are out and about today.
Citizen Free Press ‘stack’ has become unperusable past few days …all negative all the time. Almost as if a big check arrived..
I just checked over there. The headlines are full of failed deal news.
I have read that Citizen Kane uses the Drudge Report for news. I no longer trust that news aggregator.
True that and Revolver is using Citizen Free Press.
Yep. All one and the same.
The demons acquired control over Drudge. The ‘Drudge report’ then died as a ‘news’ source.
Very little is as it seems. Trust God with all your heart, mind, body and soul.
Seek and you shall find.
People aren’t allowed to voice their frustrations?
You sound like someone who is just happy to go along with things.
There has been more flip-flopping with this administration than just about any I have seen over the past 30 years.
So yes – we question everything.
Just imagine President Kamala.
I would call that a massive clusterf&ck and a nightmare!
Why does everyone here speak in binary? I would vote for Trump again vs Kamala; he has been a huge disappointment and will lead to Democrat control.
I admire your discernment-:)
The beast is furious and lashing out in rage. Praise be to God.
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!
On one of his programs, Levin admitted that his father, regarding Levin’s TDS, told him to “Knock it off!”
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.
Senior Administration Official
Thank you.
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.
Trump is 100% correct. The whole time obama was in the white house I always felt he was representing someone else and not the United States and it’s people. Every time I heard ,read about something he did ,it was always The exact opposite of what I thought was in the best interest of this country , And watching everyone cover for him. not to mention all the clowns who fawned over him, like the guy who had the feeling in his leg.I forget his name ,his show was hardball I believe. Oh Chris Mathews I think. People still fawn over him and chose to ignore his very anti American tendencies. Thieves ,frauds and communist would be my best description of that administration.Biden defines the fist 2 !!! And then realizing he was only in Office because the democrats used “Race” again as a tool to scam the American people into getting hold of the levers of power.
I so glad my mind is at ease knowing our president will do the best and right thing for this country.
It is worth listening the Victor Davis Hanson’s recent comments on Iran.
so is worth listen the Col.Wilkerson,Judge Napolitano,Col Mcgregor……so you would not be surprise when “fog of war” disappear…
And Jeffrey Sachs is worthwhile too.
Sachs is a greenie globalist.
I agree but the show has become redundant and I feel Nap is butt-hurt that Trump didn’t nominate him. Wilkerson has seemed to fly in the other direction due to guilt being Powel’s COS.
VDH hasn’t been correct about war since the Peloponnesian. He should stick to history not prognostication.
No matter what they agree on, Iran will cheat, lie, stall, continue producing ballistic missiles, and try to get its hands on a nuclear bomb.
These people always negotiate in bad faith. They are religious fanatics. They believe that God is on their side. That is what makes them so dangerous.
You can make deals with rational players like Russia, India, or even China, if the Chinese understand that there will be severe consequences. Not with Iran.
This “deal” as reported seems like MSM, uniparty & IR propaganda to me. The IRGC has been putting out statements all day about “America’s demise & we have defeated America” …blah, blah, blah. The IR seems to believe they are getting all their assets unfrozen. How can the US come to any realistic deal when the leadership in Iran is fractured & in-fighting?
I am sorry, but this a fool’s errand. The Iranian people must have a new, secular, government.
Sounds like nation building half a world away. Let the Arab states fix it. We should be out of there immediately.
I am not advocating that the US does the dirty work. It is up to the Iranian people to make the change.
we should not go there …last year or this year…
barking spider …what’s about here to restore Constitutional Republic instead USCorp…with endless wars spider think about this in the 250 yrs..we did have only about 30 yrs peace …..hmmmmm
I trust POTUS Trump to make the best deal. The Doubters,Doomers and Panicans are whinning and crying. Uni party trolls are not happy either and that’s ok w me
in God We Trust
In his opener, sundance copied and pasted CNN’s Scott Jennings tweet without his indroduction that rfeads:
“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:”
https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/2058614742915137739
If Iran cheats while POTUS is still in office, he will bomb the shi* out of Iran….i believe Trump will put Americans first not Israel
I hope so.
So excluding Israeli top officials and Netanyahu from the deal is a smart thing? Distancing ourselves from Israel is not a wise choice just because Steve Witkoff says so. Bad deal.
Who says they were excluded?
Maybe Trump let Israel know what he was doing, and to ensure maximum participation and buy in from the Gulf countries, kept Israel from the formalities. That’s called political realism.
It was reported on May 23, 2026 article by World Israel News.
Thank you. Great piece.
MAGA
There is not going to be any deal to be had with those snakes. They need to be quashed.
Iran wants nuclear and the democrats wanted covid. Their a team.
Sounds like Scott Jennings fed into Grok all of PDJT’s Truth social posts and SOS-Rubio’s public speeches and wrote his article from an anonymous senior Trump official (STO).
Geeez!
The first to shoot their mouths off are your biggest war mongers for total annihilation of the enemy, that is called genocide and is a crime.
President Trump is not going to break with what he knows about negotiation, the commonsense approach, hold your ground on those things that matter and let the other side do the stupid things. He knows the Iranians are playing for time hoping people like Cruz Graham Loomer Tucker Levin and their ilk will sway the public, because of gas prices. Americans are not as stupid as they like to think.
