I am concerned that the President wants a Deal so bad that he will make a bad deal. AND also any deal the Mullahs make they will violate it anyway. These Islamozazis should not be reward in anyway for their activities over the last 50 years.
he wants the peace deal. Very badly, that we know. And so do the Iranian IRGC knows it as well.
Fox.com is reporting a possible resignation submitted by the President of Iran, due to “deepening internal divisions” within.
It is mentioned that it is unknown if the ‘resignation’ was ‘accepted’….
In the report I saw the deepen divisions were the IRGC had taken over large portions of the government.
If it is true he resigned and it’s for that reason, that will throw a monkey wrench into the negotiations.
My guess is that resignations will be accepted by a bullet from Iranian Guard
Please don’t be concerned. President Trump is the greatest deal maker in the world. He is a brilliant man who is thoroughly America First, knows exactly what he wants and knows how to get it.
Might I suggest that you turn off whatever fake news source it was that caused you such unnecessary anxiety. Stick with CTH and Sundance.
uh ok but any deal that unfreezes Iran assets will be a funding mechanism for future
Islamic Terror
🎯
TexasSnoman:
Oil revenues will also be a funding mechanism for the murderous muzzies.
Hopefully the men of Iran will rise up to defend their families against them.
We shall see. 👊✝️👊

If it sounds like there is an echo in here, there is an echo in here
Not if there a regime change which is likely what Trump is stalling for. To at least give it a chance.
Time permits our logistical issues to get fully resolved too.
😎✝️😎
Great deal-maker, yes.
My concern is that he has always dealt with people who want at least some type of success. If both parties win in some way, both parties are somewhat happy. That’s standard business. In general.
With mohammedans, it’s different. He may not have made deals with people who would rather destroy the world than lose; people whose very creed is lying; people who will smile while doing this. People whose very reason for existence is to conquer the world.
This is a matter for clear communication. If the deal-maker says, “surrender or die,” and backs it up, they will understand. Not before.
Their entire history gives evidence of this.
Any deal will have to have a different foundation for understanding. And enforcement.
uh huh uh huh…The Times of Israel might be begging to disagree…
Trump said to tell Netanyahu ‘you’re f**king crazy’ while demanding Lebanon truce: ‘I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel’

Larry Johnson on the Mario Nawfal video channel just said Ian is on the eve of detonating a nuclear bomb. @ the 1:27 mark
some Barry Mcguire might be appropriate right about now… eve of destruction
I share those concerns.
I suspect that Trump is “dealing” because that is what Iran’s Muslim neighbors want him to do — and Trump is trying to thread the needle of making them happy while at the same time getting an “acceptable” deal with Iran.
I don’t know if that is possible.
Our POTUS is literally trying to shove the Camel Through the Eye of the Middle Eastern Needle! 🙂
President Trump has made it plain regarding the N bomb. Can’t have. The strait sort of became a problem no one else will fix though it affects them more than us. Sort of ‘you broke it, now fix it’ kind of deal. Inside Iran is not our concern. President Trump has given the people a chance. We’re not there to fix Iran. We’re there to take the ‘no bomb’ open the strait and out. That’s my opinion anyway.
Jeez, Man, Please read “The Art of the Deal.” President Trump will never make a bad deal.
He never has. He is squeezing them. Just sit back and watch.
Correct. This will not be a handshake on a bunch of lying promises. The deal, with the strong assumption that Trump is exceptionally competent in this, will contain a “to be” state in detail that will be fully enforced and verified (at least until Democrats return to power), with early resolution of items that can be directly resolved (such as removal of enriched uranium and dismantling of many weapons facilities and neutralizing of many weapons). It won’t be an “Oh, I forgot about that part” kind of deal, I would think, but more of a project design, with lots of detailed specifications for everything that matters, with no oversights. Of course, things can happen, but also it will no doubt be done with many eyes reviewing it before anything binding is set in stone.
people are “concerned” that the IRCG is dragging their feet to rearm. Do we think our VSG president is sitting waiting, hoping they take his latest offer?
No, he is using every second of the time to strategize as well.
Support our president if you have 1/10th the courage, strength, and faith that he has, and then be prepared for the opportunities for growth that follow.
I liked when he would announce they caved on everything and they would all call each other yelling at each other “was it you? Are you negotiating with Trump?”
“No it wasnt me I swear!”
Sometimes they would kill each other.
Man that was fun.
We’re all concerned. Lets pay attention and pray, let God have our concerns.
Lets pay attention and learn. I Trust Donald Trump and the growing great team he has.
I do not trust ANY media feeding us worries and fears to be concerned about, any more than I trust Satan feeding me the lies in my head.
Pray, study, learn, be prepared to listing to God telling us what we can do. The president needs our support. If you support him, you can count on opposition, ridicule, and more intense lies from Satan in every way he can fool us into listening.
Has Trump ever made a really bad deal? Don’t buy in to the doomer B.S.
It is a natural concern, but we do have a record to go by. That record shows that he uses misdirection, has an excellent sense of timing, an ability to construct and carry out a complex strategic plan, the flexibility of Barry Sanders to change direction without losing momentum, and his innate ability to move people in the direction he wants.
If that is not enough think about this:
Although he is going up against a corrupt government and bureaucracy across all three branches controlled by a power accumulated over centuries, while surviving endless lawfare and assassination attempts, not only is he still here and still fighting, he is also still winning.
God’s got this.
We have the means to bring them to Unconditional Surrender. I prefer that.
Saaaaaaaadly…we do not means ..only nukes are left..Sixie…they are not Syrians,Libyians,Lebanesse,Iraquis……even from Afghanistan we have to leave in dark of the night..saaaad…
We would not of had to leave Afghanistan if it was Trump, instead of Biden.
Elections have consequences – especially rigged ones.
I like what CTH and Promethean Action says about the real reasons why we are going after Iran and what we are trying to achieve.
I would also like to hear those real reasons echoed from President Trump and the administration.
I would like that as well.
But given how difficult the media and the globalists make it for him to communicate even simple messages, it seems he has decided not to use time getting caught in what would become convoluted discussions that would suck even more of his time.
Promethean has at least three people doing weekly talks and others delivering a large amount of content. Yet they are challenged in making their communication clear because it involves history and the most complex political relationships among multiple countries.
It also involves people “unlearning” what they have “been taught for generations.
It seems President Trump’s strategy is to deliver easy to understand messages.
I wish someone in the cabinet could do for this what Sec. Bessent does for economic content But it is very complex and hard to talk about when it involves countries most people think of as our allies.
One thing we can all do is use the PA content to spread the word.
love your post
I agree, Promethean Action seems to be a well researched political site. My only complaint is their constant demonizing of the “City of London” (Maybe they’re right) and Barbara’s annoying speech impediment
An annoying speech impediment? Surely you jest. Oh, excuse me. I forgot dems don’t jest.
What’s annoying is TDS aimed at Barbara.
But hey, I’ll take your comment for what it’s worth. It means she”s hitting the mark. So have at it!

Excellent summation. Also, he never lets the enemy know his plans, and always uses misdirection to deny them any sort of ability to be proactive, limiting their options. Then when they try to react in an effective way, he zings them again.
He’s better at the look squirrel tactic than they are.
Ha ha! Even after listening to him now since 2015 I still don’t know how he does it. He seems to be expert as you say at misdirection.
As President Trump has said repeatedly, there’s going to be a great deal or no deal.
But what is a “great” deal??
Another 60 day ceasefire without the total and complete opening of Hormuz? Without the unambiguous commitment of Iran to cease and desist their nuclear ambitions? Without firm possession of the enriched “dust” by the US?
Why are we not just dictating terms?
Were it even possible to change the President’s mind with your naysaying, we did not elect you to be President. It is getting really tiresome.
“Why are we not just dictating terms?”
That question answers itself!
Nice Strawman you’ve created there. Nothing on your “fear” list actually has happened. If you are not a troll, grasshopper, you sure post like one.
Did Iranians past 47 yrs saying …we do not have intentions build nukes ??..they got fatwa on those weaponry…did Tulsi testify “they do not have nukes” did we bomb them last year…..someone would like bomb Iran to “stone age”…to finish real reason to get ahead with Great Is……project….
A great deal is what President Trump went in there to accomplish of which he has. No nuke and he’s set the country back 10 to 20 years. A good deal is getting what he sought and that’s them to agree not to try building another nuke and, because, everyone thinks the strait is our fault have Iran fix it.
A great deal undoubtedly includes securely nailing down the fairly well recognized items that you are listing just off the top of your head, and so much more. But when someone still wants to fight, there is nothing wrong with ceasing the violent action, except as needed to hold the line, and just giving them time to realize that they are in a fight that they can’t win. When they finally say “uncle”, not because they are destroyed but because they finally see that they have no future in conflict, then the terms of the agreement, which are stiff, can be carried out without further waste of assets and lives. After that, the terms, essentially dictated in fact, need to be enforced and verified, and at least that will happen while Trump is at the helm.
And he has a track record that proves he does great deals!
..there will be no deal..neither..war…but back side deals…
There are 2 really big difficulties with trying to come to an ACCEPTABLE deal with Iran.
#1 — We may not be negotiating with Iranians who actually have the POWER to cut a deal. I fear that unless we are dealing with the IRGC itself, whatever “deal” is made is probably with someone(s) who really don’t have the OPERATIONAL power to implement it.
#2 — Irrespective of #1 above — the Iranians are totally untrustworthy. They will say or sign ANYTHING while being committed to breaking their agreement THE INSTANT they think they can.
I think we stopped the “kinetic action” a couple weeks too soon. And I fear that when the Iranians violate whatever “deal” is made — and they will — we will not IMMEDIATELY destroy something to let them know how unacceptable that was.
And why are there any “negotiations” anyway? Seems to me that, like with Japan and Germany, we should be dictating terms.
Period.
We are not hearing too much about the “forgotten men and women of Iran”….the average citizens…who have it pretty rough right now, from what I understand. Certainly, they should be involved in these ‘negotiations’, too.
Exactly! Wouldn’t our team know after a week if the Iranians were serious about a negotiated agreement?
The Iranians send a delegation of Harvard and Cambridge eductated English speaking negotiators in Italian shoes and $2,500 Saville Row suits that have no authority to agree with anything. Obviously, the IRGC hasn’t suffered enough yet.
From my viewpoint, its a given, Iran won’t keep any deals. Yet it is reported that it will take them around 10 to 20 years to make a nuke. Its not that its expected they will ‘uncle’ but its important they say it.
Sorry that President Trump cares about all human life so he has shown restraint. Do you advocate a nuke that would kill 50 million Iranians?
What if the deal is not his priority? What if he is getting everyone to look at the deal, while he is simultaneously increasing America’s economic power and limiting options to courses of actions of those entities operating against us, and forcing them to do his bidding?
And in other news:
“Sources close to the student’s family have reported that confessions were extracted from her during her detention, a claim that has not been independently verified. However, during her judicial hearing, she rejected the charges brought against her and stated that she played no role in the matters attributed to her.
The report further notes that during the most recent court session, it was announced that due to the severity of the charges, her case will be referred to Tehran for further proceedings.”
https://iranwire.com/en/news/153050-diana-taherabadi-16-year-old-student-arrested-during-the-protests/
Ultimately, Trump does NOT want the US to be the peacekeeping force in the ME. He wants the regional power brokers to play that role.
That means he needs buy in from Israel, Qatar, UAE, Saudi, and Pakistan.
That’s the beauty of the Abraham Accords. Bringing those muz countries together with Israel not only promotes peace in the Middle East but could develop into a formidable military force
PDJT needs to send Iran and the mullahs a bill for 47-years worth of acts of their terrorism–directly and by proxy.
And every other nation needs to follow suit.
Ever since WWI, people have striven to be able to win a war by dropping bombs. But conventional bombs and missiles aren’t enough.
The closest we have come is the end of WWII. After 3 years of horrible losses, two A-bombs, and Russia joining in against them, Japan surrendered. But even then it was a close vote and had to survive a failed coup.
But even if that would work we won’t do that again.
So the only way to force a surrender is boots on the ground. And we don’t want to do that either.
So we are ruining Iran, first with bombs, now with blockade. And hoping that they will surrender. But, horrible, harsher than ever sanctions didn’t end the war in Ukraine, nor cause Putin to fall.
It helps to have local allies negotiating for us. But in the end, however negotiations go, the regime will be intact.
And even when Trump gets the nuclear material, ends missile production, and stops harassment of trade, just reopening their trade will be portrayed as more evil than Obama’s ‘Money to Make Nukes’ deal. And ending sanctions even worse.
So either demand we invade and stay to nation build, or Trust Trump.
But be prepared for them to break the deal later.
Iranian leaders would never lie to us, would they?! : )
I think I’m going with Trust Trump on this one.
At 2:00, a dredge is noted to be an Iranian toll collector, further comments indicate Marine Traffic tracking is not up to par.
And there is hanky panky with Jones Act waivers…manipulating cargo’s etc and getting oil on the foreign ships and sending it elsewhere (where there is no shortage)–that’s about at 31:00 minutes….and 31:42….
AND oil traders…32:05…oil traders making money off of the manipulation of those Jones Act waivers….
Expect Israel to sabotage any sort of a deal.
President TRUMP repeats – AGAIN! – that he will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons!!!
“Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon.
It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!!

President Trump emphasized that he is taking a patient approach to securing a broader agreement, but if Iran falls short of his terms, “we’re going to end it a different way.” It remains to be seen whether Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shares the same understanding of a potential MoU, whether it will adhere to it, and how long the president will keep the negotiation process ongoing.

Trump appears to have been negotiating with one faction of the Iranian government. That faction now is resigning probably because the IRGC doesn’t want to give up nukes or ballistic missiles and would likely start murdering these folks if they didn’t resign their positions. Trump seems lost. He stopped listening to the advice of his generals and now he’s in a weak weak weak position.
I am going to a create play on words on FAFO.
F**k Around Find Out.
You’ve F**K Around Now Find Out – > YFANFO.
Meaning the IRGC has created their own problems in the region.
Specifically when it comes to the decades long agenda of the IRGC to export the ’79 revolution.
This goal of the IRGC is not transparent to other countries of the region.
For example the whole sale murder of tens of thousands of Shia Muslims in Syria while the Syrian civil war raged by Hezbollah.
Another is Oct 7th.
There is no way Hamas launched Oct. 7th without the IRGC blessing.
One could say, the pager incident on Hezbollah was initiated by the IRGC saying let’s great the party started.
Stop and think about the pager incident this way.
It is more or less known that Israel penetrated Hezbollah with pager bombs.
What leap of faith does it take to observe if Israel could get the pagers in place that were triggered to explode on command. These compromised device’s command to explode does not need a directive to explode by Israel.
All you need to know is the TXT command Hezbollah is to send out to the field operatives.
In a manner of logic.
“Israel had so compromised the IRGC that Israel knew the pager code Hezbollah was to send out to field operatives to start a new phase to the River to the Sea genocide on Israel.
That code was hardwired into the devices.
In effect Hezbollah triggered the devices when they sent the pager code.
So playing nice with the IRGC is over.
We haven’t forced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz because the loss of a single US Navy ship would be politically catastrophic. An attack on Iranian oil and power infrastructure would be answered as promised by Iran with in-kind retaliation against their neighbors. As a result, the UAE is erecting drone cages around some of their infrastructure.
Long before the ceasefire, satellite images showed Iranian earth moving equipment starting to dig out bombed shut missile and drone storage tunnels within 48 hours of a strike. An IDF or CENTCOM X post I KNOW I saw, now apparently removed which should tell you something, bragged about bombing a significant number of earth moving equipment at one tunnel location. So, I have no doubts about their still having a significant drone and missile inventory left.
Trump focuses on the nuclear issue which he needs to save face and Iran is not about to give him that for that very reason.
Q: Was there a US military table-top exercise where the part played by the Iranians meaningfully challenged a first-tier navy like the US Navy?
Grok 3 AI:
Yes, the most prominent example is Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02). This was a massive, high-profile US military wargame (often described as involving table-top, simulation, and live elements) where a Red Force explicitly modeled on an Iran-like Persian Gulf adversary used asymmetric tactics to deliver a devastating initial blow to the US Navy’s Blue Force.
Key Details of the Exercise
– Scope: It was the largest and most expensive US military exercise at the time (~$250 million), involving over 13,500 participants across multiple locations. It simulated a 2007 scenario with advanced US capabilities.
– Scenario: A fictional “Red” regional power in the Persian Gulf (widely understood to represent Iran or Iraq) facing a US-led Blue Force intervention. The setting involved securing shipping lanes in confined waters similar to the Strait of Hormuz/Persian Gulf.
– Red Force Commander: Retired US Marine Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper led the opposition. He employed aggressive, unanticipated asymmetric tactics aligned with real Iranian doctrines (swarming, missiles from varied platforms, low-signature operations).
***What Happened***
In the opening phase, as a US carrier battle group entered the Gulf, Red launched a preemptive saturation attack:
– Massive salvo of cruise missiles (launched from ground, commercial ships, and low-flying aircraft with radio silence to reduce detectability).
– Followed by swarms of small explosive-laden speedboats in kamikaze-style attacks.
This overwhelmed Blue’s sensors and defenses. In minutes, Red “sank” 16–19 US warships, including one aircraft carrier, multiple cruisers, and amphibious ships—inflicting massive simulated casualties. Blue Force leaders acknowledged the navy had been effectively sunk in the initial engagement.
The exercise was paused (“refloated” the ships), rules were adjusted to constrain Red’s freedom of action, and it continued with Blue achieving its broader objectives. Critics, including Van Riper, argued this undermined the learning value.
Relevance to Your Question
This directly demonstrated how an Iranian-style force could meaningfully challenge (and in the opening move, badly maul) a first-tier US Navy carrier strike group in a confined theater using low-cost, high-volume asymmetric methods—missiles, swarms, commercial cover, and surprise—very similar to the Ukraine-Black Sea dynamics or real Iranian A2/AD strategies. It highlighted vulnerabilities in detection, over-reliance on technology, and the risks of predictable operations.
Has Iran ever given up possession of enriched uranium and has Russia offered to take their 60% enriched uranium in the current conflict?
Iran has not meaningfully given up possession of its enriched uranium stockpile in any permanent or voluntary sense historically, though it did ship out or dilute some material under the 2015 JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal).
Russia has repeatedly offered to take Iran’s ~60% enriched uranium (highly enriched uranium or HEU) as part of diplomatic efforts in the ongoing 2025–2026 conflict, but the US has rejected the idea, and no transfer has occurred.
Wow. So much wailing and gnashing of teeth on this thread. So much prediction of disaster. So much “woe is me” doomscrolling.
Y’all sound like Les Nessman at the WKRP Great Turkey Drop.
“Oh the humanity!!”
Put away the crack pipe of doom and have a little faith. President Trump-Greatest President Since Washington-has this under control. The Greatest Deal Maker Of All Time has this under control.
And if that’s not enough to quell your fears, listen to the Words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from Matthew 6:25-34.
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Amen!
I suspect that some people still think that President TRUMP does not R E A L L Y mean what he says, i.e. that he has become a politician.
It is Monday morning: interest in this topic seems to have waned (?).
On calls for “finishing the job.”
From Iran:
“The moment our infrastructure is attacked, key infrastructure, energy, and oil facilities in the Middle East will be destroyed.”
“Critical infrastructure and energy facilities across the Middle East will face ‘irreversible destruction’ if Iranian power plants are targeted… regional infrastructure would become ‘legitimate targets'”
“If Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is assaulted by the enemy, all energy facilities, in addition to information technology and water desalination plants belonging to the U.S. and allied regimes in the region, will be targeted.”

This highlights limitations of airstrikes against deeply buried, hardened underground facilities—access was restored faster than some US intelligence estimates predicted, using relatively simple civilian-grade equipment:
Iran reopens 50 of 69 underground missile tunnels hit by US-Israeli strikes: Report
Satellite images analysed by CNN show Iran has reopened most entrances to missile sites hit by the US and Israel. The repairs suggest Tehran retains substantial missile capacity despite months of strikes.

According to CNN, Iran has managed to clear and reopen 50 of the 69 tunnel entrances struck by US and Israeli forces across 18 underground missile sites. Satellite images reviewed by the network showed extensive excavation work at multiple locations, with bulldozers, loaders and dump trucks used to remove debris and restore access to buried facilities.
Satellite imagery (e.g., from Airbus) analyzed by CNN shows this work at multiple sites, including near Dezful, Kermanshah, and Isfahan. Many missiles are believed to remain intact deep underground.

Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us. But don’t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively “chirping,” at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end – It always does! President DJT

Iran suspends US talks over Israel’s attacks in Lebanon, reports say

I remain convinced that PDJT knows what he is doing. This is a very complicated situation which totally involves “Iran’s ancient neighbors.” (Read the “boring middle-eight” of your Old Testament. Carefully.)
If the United States simply barged in and started bombing the hell out of everything, Iran might be able to say that the USA is the true enemy of everyone in the region. Instead: (1) Donald Trump stopped (paused), and (2) Israel paused along with them, and (3) Iran started attacking everybody.
Iran began bombing its neighbors. Nations who had not (yet(!!)) declared war on them. Noticeably, they bombed Sunni nations and spared Shi’ite nations. And, when you pause to consider that their radical “religion” calls for them to initiate “Doomsday” so that their “12th Imam” will pop up out of a hole in the ground, this point matters, much!
The Arabs are watching. In their own way. And they are also observing that Israel is among those who are now fighting for them.
And, mind you, these “ancient Arab neighbors” have prodigious military capabilities, also . . .
Trump is withholding his undeniable military power, and demanding that the Iranians negotiate. Their insane refusal tells everyone, everything they need to know.
When the dust finally settles over all of this, “the Middle East” will never be the same.
What you are witnessing right now is: chess. In six dimensions.
