Maybe the third time is the charm. President Trump indicates that a deal with Iran has been reached and agreed by all the participating stakeholders.

Iranians try to sink another ship… in 3, 2, 1…
Taqiyya
JD Vance is due on The View though, so if there was a psyop to occur… seems to be a good time for one.
I love President Trump but uncertain that the Iranian regime will acquiesce and suddenly start to protect their citizenry. One can hope, but don’t bet the farm.
You don’t negotiate with terrorists. Ever.
Or Israel can bomb Lebanon again… in 3, 2, 1…
If they get bombed by Hezbollah first, yeah.
“She” is so predictable.
Predictably correct. 😉
Bhahahaha… and that from a guy who believes Iranians are Semites, and not the original Aryans.
Work on your reading comprehension please.
Don’t bother. She just hates the Jews. They can’t do right by her, just like Russians are always wrong according to Sen. Graham no matter what they did or didn’t do. She’d rather convert to Islam, assuming she is not already a Muslim hiding behind that picture, which is the beauty of the internet…
Failing to do right seems like a trait rather well-attested to by the Biblical record.
Yeah Ray, sure. Every single person who disagrees with the policies of the Israeli state is secretly a Muslim. FFS.
First, I’ve never cared much for the Old or New Testament, or for religious texts in general. And I’ve found that people who speak in absolutes based solely on those books are often not the brightest thinkers.
Having said that, I absolutely disagree with great many Israeli policies, if we’re speaking in general terms. I was calling them out during Scamdemic, and that hasn’t been forgotten to this day.
But when some obviously hateful person maliciously disputes the right of the Jewish people to be left alone in their homeland, and defend themselves from uncivilized, radical savages, or directly or indirectly disputes their right to their land, I treat her or him the same way I treat those who dispute our right to live in America. Are you one of them? Do you believe we live on “stolen land,” Templar?
Which is a bit of a problem for you, as the situation with the Israelis can’t really be disentangled from its religious dimension.
And I’ve found that people who are contemptuous of religion tend to be amongst the dullest knives in the drawer.
Which policies, exactly?
Such as?
How would you describe a non “malicious” disputation of the Zionist project?
Radical savages who would valourize the killing of pregnant women?
On what basis are you imputing a right to the land on the part of the Israelis that supersedes the prior claim of the Palestinians?
My position is that any land taken by Christians is part of Christendom forever.
Did Israel ever stop?
Did hezbolla?
if they lost war with Iranians…..something profoundly did change this week…. check Patrick Hennigsen- patrickhennigsen.substack.com
Thanks for the link.
the last ceasefire was signed by Lebanon and Israel. But it was not accepted by Hezbollah who continues to attack Israel. Ask Google AI if you doubt me.
Your position seems to be that Hezbollah can attack Israel from within Lebanese territory but Israel can’t attack Hezbollah within Lebanese territory. I wonder what other countries would accept such a position.
Other countries wouldn’t be in that position, not having originated in the rather “unique” manner that Israel did.
That being said, there’s a certain black humour to be found in the fact of the Israeli state being harassed by terrorist militias considering its roots in the Irgun and similar Zionist terror groups.
Nobody, except for deranged liberals, intentionally and maliciously disputes our right to live in America, where we were born, as were generations of our people before us. “Stolen land,” they say. And here we go: a fake Templar is telling us that Jews somehow have no right to return home.
But then again, and I hate to do it, he thinks Iranians are Semites and not Aryans, which tells everyone how credible an expert he is on the Middle East.
My guess is that his name is Mohammad or Hasan…
We’re not talking about America: we’re talking about the modern state calling itself Israel.
Tell it to Pope Pius X.
How on earth did you manage to interpret the question “aren’t they [the Iranians] technically japethtitic?” as meaning “Iranians are Semites and not Aryans”?
My guess is that yours is Chaim or Moishe, but then again, perhaps you’re just a particularly tragic example of a shabbos goy.
President Trump, in the idea of deal making, (disclaimer, I never read his book) is a “transactional” leader and deal maker…am thinking that due to the number of ‘stakeholders, this might work…
I do remember a Prof from TAMU who used to say, something along the lines of it being difficult to go to the “table” and negotiate, when one faction at the table, wants to “blow up the table”.
Am hopeful.
You can’t negotiate with people who want you dead. There is nothing you can offer them to make them not want you dead.
Each day this regime continues to exist, in their sick minds, they win.
Yes…that is so very true. Am hoping all those ‘stakeholders’ can keep the bullies in line.
My concern is the that the stakeholders at some point, will ‘lose interest’….
They may lose interest or their lives, same negotiation outcome.
Your hope appears to be the best we can imagine without a regime change. It’s a starting point, and your concern is absolutely legitimate.
Negotiating with liars and murderous zealots will never be better than a perilous task.
This^^^
they may (Iranians)got upper hand according of Patrick Hennigsen….
Couldn’t get to your link.
Try using a VPN or Tor.
The link “https://patrickhenningsen.substack.com/” works perfectly with DuckDuckGo
I have read his book, Aggiegirl, and HIGHLY recommend it. One key thing in negotiations in knowing when your opponent is a dirty, rotten, stinking rat. Trump played both sides of the American political fence, quite well.
I just pray for the Iranian people to be liberated from the tyranny. The regime has killed too many of its citizens and that’s no way to live… fearing of genocide. It would be a shame to lose American lives and American taxpayer dollars on anything less.
I don’t really understand why we absolve people of being wrong, making wrong choices, and being cowards when their number exceeds a certain threshold. To me, the Iranians are as guilty as the Germans were back in the day. And by the way, I’m not talking about those who actively participated. I’m talking about those who did nothing: the majority. They are the worst. The banality of evil.
I have hope too, but I also know you can’t make deals with Muslims. They are inherently dishonest as well as violent.
Look what happens when terrorists take over a country:
Zimbabwe, 46 years of tragedy, first under Mugabe and then this right hand man Mugabe 2.0
South Africa, 32 years of deterioration, first under Mandela and then men towing the party line
Western politicians foolishly supported these men believing there would be western style democracy but what they got was a small entrenched black elite and massive corruption.
That’s a good question—and a very timely one. What happens to countries where terrorists have seized power?
Why not extend this to other countries in the Middle East, for example?
History—the real kind, not the one written by special interests—makes light of ignorance of the facts.
One group’s terrorists are another group’s liberators.
Yesterday’s terrorists have become today’s prime ministers or presidents.
Consider Ben-Gurion and Begin, who were terrorists—since the 1920s—in the eyes of the British, in Palestine, and Abu Mohammed al-Joulani of HTS and other al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria, under the name Ahmed Al-Sharaa, now President of Syria.
This man was on the U.S. list of terrorists…
What else? This is history, not an opinion.
Is the protection of its citizenry from Islamic oppression part of the deal? I would hope so, but I doubt it.
I always thought that Trump expected the Iranian resistance to rise up like they did in January in response to hus “help is on the way” follow-through. They apparently didn’t.
I asked several Iranians on X why that was and never got an answer. One poster just yelled at me for asking.
If the deal goes through, it will be up to the people to give themselves a new government.
Paul, I asked a very reputable Iranian who emigrated legally to the United States for asylum 16 years ago. She is a dear, dear friend. Her husband was aviator for the Iranian military wrongfully imprisoned when he spoke out against the regime.
The reason the Iranian people don’t rise up… is FEAR.
This isn’t a regime that just turns off your bank accounts… they kill you mercilessly, slowly, in front of your family… then go after your family. You can’t breathe a word that you have an Israeli friend or Israeli business associate. To proclaim Christianity, is an immediate death sentence. We’re talking beheading and torture… 40,000 of their people at a time. Any idea what kind of horror that would feel like?
The government controls all communications of their citizens and steals their wealth. Right now Iranian people are starving because the price of food has gone so high and the regime doesn’t care they starve.
These are not humans… they are animals… even demons. Iranian people are afraid and to them liberation by Israel and America is their only hope.
Understandable at the base level, but they arose in January when the regime was strong. One would expect SOME level of resistance when it had been vastly weakened.
If Trump isn’t himself fooling the mullahs and intends to complete regime change, at some point the Iranian people will either have to submit or overcome their fear.
Iranian citizens have no weapons. They tried the large demonstrations. They were told the U.S. would help them. The evil IRCG murdered hundreds. How are they to overthrow such a brutal entrenched regime? Suggest viewing this through the lens of realism.
Then I suppose that kebs means if the deal leaves the Islamists in place, the opposition will never rise again.
The IRCG murdered tens of thousands – fify. Online search says 36,500 – my friend said 40,000.
That’s not a small demonstration – that’s a city.
The Facts vs. the Premises.
In Tehran (Iran), a new metro station opened on October 18, 2025, honors Christians and the Virgin Mary.
FATEMEH BAHRAMI / Anadolu/AFP
In Iran, a country where Shia Islam is the state religion, a subway station that opened on October 18, 2025, in Tehran highlights Christians and the Virgin Mary. Revered in Christianity as well as in Islam, Mary (or Maryam) is considered a unifying figure and holds a prominent place in the Quran.
She is depicted as a work of art. In Iran’s capital, a newly opened metro station honors Mary. The Virgin is depicted with her eyes closed in prayer, surrounded by a dove, on a bas-relief in a corridor of “Maryam Moghaddas” (the “Saint Mary” station in Persian). But why would Iran, a country where Shia Islam is the state religion, dedicate a subway station to her?
The stated goal is to promote respect for religions, in a country where freedom of worship has, however, significantly declined. Honored in Christianity but also in Islam, Mary (or Maryam) is indeed considered a unifying figure. “This shared recognition illustrates how, despite theological differences, both religions honor and respect her role,” explains the Grand Mosque of Paris on its website, adding that she “provides a common foundation for mutual respect and interfaith dialogue.”

We and the Israelis should have destroyed the infrastructure. Hunger is a great motivator.
“Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.”
Yeah, “help is on the way…” I believe that just as much as I believe he wasn’t aware that January 6 was a trap. And if he, in fact, wasn’t, that actually makes it even worse.
No deal was just announced again.
???? What exactly are you saying here?
They reneged again to make our President look foolish. I haven’t seen it yet as I just got out of Bible study.
I hate to say this, but these announcements probably should be time stamped. They tend to have a shorter life than a flash bulb.
Yep – it’s to sew discord in the American people and get us not to trust what our President is saying. No one can negotiate with these animals. The regime must be removed – by force – and in front of everyone in a method so clear and horrible that no other regime would dare rise again. The shedding of blood for the Tree of Liberty.
saadly…they claim they got ..UPPER HAND..
Of course, they claim that. It’s in their mental olympics to paralyze the people of Iran with fear.
This stage is about to conclude – opening the 2nd stage led by gulf state ground forces, along with the Kurds.
It’ll happen.
Here’s hoping for the best and I trust my President but it’s the non-participating stakeholders that seem to muck up the works.
Trump Takes Question After Question From Press After Announcing New Deal With Iran
(50:13 mins)
FYI – Q&A starts around 28:50 min mark
Two weeks to stop the spread.
And about 3 weeks until the Fourth of July. I am thinking he wants this done, by then.
I’m confident he wanted it done within 3 weeks after he decided to begin. Unfortunately, what he wants doesn’t seem to be the deciding factor.
But of course, I pray it will be done before the fourth. Regardless, God’s will to be done.
“To pray, ‘Thy will be done,’ I must be willing, if the answer requires it, that my will be undone.”
~Elisabeth Elliot
In God’s hands be it.
I love it, Betsy.
Amen!
The prayer of the contrite and fully submitted Spirit. Amen
…what kind of ” maskirovka” is it about agreement ?? Iranians saying there is no any kind of agreement..they saying ” PDJT talk to himself”…sooo what is it…btw BB..is very nervous about it…..
Safe and Effective.
Charles Shulz in heaven: “Good grief!”
Lucy will always pull the football, Charlie Brown.
Trust, but verify.
With current Iranian regime I think it needs to be:
Do not ever trust and most definitely verify.
Prayers continue. Godspeed to our negotiators and leaders! 🙂
I hate the idea of releasing vast sums to a terrorist state which we know doesn’t keep its word – or even know whose word to give.
The elites, the military, or the clergy?
If we don’t win in November and again in 2028 we’ll all be living in a terrorist run state and probably one that would make the IRGC blush! 😎
The Iranian people don’t even WANT the money. They were pissed when Obama gave skids full. The Iranian people feel their wealth has been stolen by the regime and that to give anything “back” to the current government – the Iranian people don’t want that money going to the regime. They’d rather it not be given at all because the regime will not restore it to their people.
You don’t fund terrorists. You don’t negotiate with terrorists. You remove them in such a way – they can’t ever, ever, ever strike again. Pagers, anyone?
The People of Iran are determined to see the regime ended.
They are asking to be armed, and I feel sure things (understandably hidden from public view) are moving in that direction. Hopefully these efforts also do include an equivalent of the pager op.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Guard continues to escalate its strikes, while the regime continues to lose its already weak support and internecine takes its toll.
I understand there are many defections taking place, and that President Trump is playing those cards wisely and well. I think the regime’s days are numbered.
I’ve appreciated your posts on their behalf, JWoo. It’s clear you’ve been paying attention.
Payandeh Iran.
Ma McGriz,
Something else important to note about the Iranian situation – the IRGC works in factions. You may have a centralized regime, but the IRGC runs and works in mini factions. Just because some higher up figurehead signs a “MOU” doesn’t mean the IRGC will obey it.
A quick “sanity” check that I ran through A.I. is quite revealing:
My Question: Is it true the IRGC works in factions and is not really run by a figurehead in the Iranian government?
Short answer: Yes — most credible analyses agree the IRGC is not a monolithic, top‑down organization. It is formally commanded by a single leader who reports to Iran’s Supreme Leader, but in practice it operates through powerful internal factions, each with its own networks, interests, and influence. These factions often act semi‑independently and can even override civilian government decisions.
🧩 What the structure looks like in reality
1. Official structure (on paper)
This is the “figurehead” model — but it’s not how power actually functions.
🧩 What actually happens (in practice)
2. The IRGC behaves as a network of factions
Multiple independent power centers exist inside the IRGC, including:
Analysts describe the IRGC as a “vast structure” with tentacles in security, politics, and the economy, operating with growing autonomy.
3. Factions can override civilian government
Recent reporting shows:
This is not the behavior of a force tightly controlled by a single figurehead.
🧩 Who actually controls the IRGC?
4. The Supreme Leader is the only true “figurehead,” but…
Even though the IRGC reports to the Supreme Leader, the relationship is mutual dependence, not strict hierarchy.
This suggests the IRGC is not merely following orders — it is shaping leadership itself.
🧩 Bottom line
The IRGC is not run like a normal military under a single figurehead. It is a factionalized power network with:
Most experts describe it as the dominant political actor in Iran, not a subordinate military branch.
If you want, I can also break down the main IRGC factions, their leaders, and what each controls.
(MY NOTE: The idea that A.I. “can also break down the main IRGC factions, their leaders, and what each controls” tells me that our DARPA creating A.I. has way more knowledge of this than the main stream media lets on. Which is Modis Operandi of the military intelligence community – coming from a former spouse of a mil-intel analyst.)
Spot. On. Great post, JWoo.
It matches what I’ve seen prior to the war and learned since from native Iranian analysts, who’ve sometimes described the IRGC as the islamic mafia.
Right now they’re unable to pay their proxy fighters, and desperately trying to spin media narratives of victory, claiming to have so far killed thousands of Israeli troops and over a thousand, as many as 1,500 American military members. Defections are high and growing.
Their desperation and disintegration grow by the day. President Trump is playing them like a fiddle.
As has been the case since the obama days, the mainstream media are only selling fried ice cream.
I would love to believe that the Iranian leadership wants a peace deal and will abide by it but…. they never have before so why should they this time? Methinks this is yet another stalling tactic so they can rearm, regroup and replace personnel losses. Then we begin again.

It’s always the jewssssss…good grief
Gets very boring. Jooooos. Joooooos. Yawn
Why do you folks always conflate jews with the state of israel?
Why? If they don’t get attacked from Lebanon, likely they will abide by the deal.
As far as they never have before…. sure after the have been attacked from all sides by the “river to the sea” crowd.
Scratched record.
Israel never attacked any country who did not attack them
DS apparatchiks, Democrat Party strategists, doomers, black-pill droppers and concern trolls hardest hit.
I wondered why diesel had dropped 2p a litre in the time it took me to attend a social engagement tonight.
Right now, gas in my ‘hood is finally below $4 a gallon…
Good.
It’s equivalent to around $5.40 here in UTC+8
Here in the USA.🇺🇸…..where we buy gas by the gallon…..not liter
and the price is usually increased/ decreased by cents….not p.
this is a great source that we use. 😉
AAA Fuel Prices
…and yet.
Unfortunately, President Trump can’t fix this because all of DC operatives support the Iranian regime.
Gas prices/Inflation will not go down
Watching Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Blumenthal, Goldberg, The New York Times and Bloomberg News cheering, day after day, for Iran to defeat and humilate President Trump not only has me scratching my head but wondering where that hatred come from? 😎
Already is going down… a little at a time. Down about 60 to 70 cents from the highs here in the Houston area.
Down to $3.29 for regular in Dallas today; $3.52 two weeks ago.
$4.35 here in NM. Still staying about the same all month, I expect. Summer gas, doncha know.
I always thought…BB got those pesky clapping seals under control….Dee
They don’t follow through this time then pound them until they do and don’t stop until their signature is on the paper. Leave forces in place and begin inspections/removals operations, immediate enforcement, bombings and the operations to take the islands to begin ASAP if they fail to follow the terms of the agreement to the letter. No arguing or negotiating. Force is ALL they understand.
^^^^ this. And a replacement government that won’t renounce the deal once Trump is gone and our backs are turned.
“Peace For Our Time.”
Where have I heard that before?
Neville Chamberlain Munich Sept.1938…and now with Iranians…why they saying PDJT “talking to himself about agreement”..who got upper hand..??
We will see. Every time he appears to back down he loses more confidence of America’s people. But, hey, he is the “world’s greatest negotiator,” so if you have a bridge you need to sell, give him a call.
If you suck your thumb maybe you’ll feel better.
lol!!
Your spelled “Every time he appears to back down he loses more confidence of the concern trolls” wrong.
FYI only:
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated that “no one can claim that the signing of an agreement is imminent,” directly contradicting Trump’s assertions that a breakthrough is only days away.
…senior Israeli official told local broadcaster Channel 12: ‘We are not aware of any agreement being reached.’
What is Channel 12?
will BB overrule it ??????
Iranian spokesman… related to this guy?
Could “Bag Dad Bob” be a CIA contractor now working as the Iranian spokesman?
There is much more afoot here than we know.
Yep. The bluster and hyperbole from both sides more resembles a shouting match on the playground than an international negotiation.
“We don’t know what we don’t know” should temper all of our comments.
bluster and hyperbole is real from trump.
Time for the Debbie and Danny Downers to move on to the 300th reason why the midterms will be lost since this one is no longer usable.
I don’t trust Iran because they are liars and terrorists. Always have been, always will be.
I trust President Trump. I know for a fact that he is the only person in the world capable of negotiating a great deal with Iranian Muslims. I know that President Trump will not get fooled.
I have complete faith in Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ. President Trump is blessed by God and that is the firm foundation for my trust in our President.
May God be glorified in all things!
Amen.
One of the things the Iranian People consistently ask for is that we remember to make the vital distinction between Iran and the occupying islamic regime, which is not even Iranian.
This is especially important for our public officials to realize. I think President Trump appreciates the distinction.
Trump does not want Hormuz open. Oil shortages are putting tremendous pressure on The EU/WEF; the real threat to The USA and Western Civilization. Straights won’t open until EU/Ukraine sign a peace accord with Russia. Could be a while before Europe is bone dry of Gas. High Gas prices in USA won’t cost Trump the House and Senate in November. Deep State Election Fraud systems will be dismantled before then.
Straits.
You guys on here really believe there will be a deal with Iran? Obama had a deal with Iran.
So obummer said. Was that before or after he gave them all the cash?
Big difference between Obungle bending over, spreading his cheeks wide and sending pallets of cash from sending pallets of bombs.
He sent pallets of cash, so they could send pallets of bombs.
Yep – and looks like Obama Hussein made good. What a dipsh$t. (Sorry – but he was (is) sooo destructive).
Seems we’ve heard this several times over the past few weeks. Why is this time different?
Iran’s powerful need to decide which master to follow. Trump or the globalist deep state.
They also have to figure out their new leadership now that so many of them are no longer with us.
And nobody wants those jobs.
Gee…I wonder why.
Have you seen Goldie Ghamari’s ‘Boom Boom Bingo’ chart?
Ha ha!
It’s a graphic with photos all the iranian leaders, red-x-ing them as they’re taken out.
It’s gallows humor at it’s finest.
They frequently note that the replacements get younger and younger, and nobody wants the jobs.
I did see it. A scoreboard!
Many people can’t seem to appreciate how hard it is to negotiate when the power structure is in shreds. They aren’t aware of all the IRGC people who are thinking along the lines of “now is my chance.”
Yes, and while the IRGC continues to unravel, the relatively few Iranians they’d fooled into supporting the regime are now turning on them for being willing to negotiate with Trump and asking where Mushtaba is.
I’ve begun to wonder if some of these “negotiations” are actually being held between the US and Pahlavi loyalists. lol
I’ve been wondering what Phalavi has been doing. For awhile he was talking all the time. But lately he’s stayed silent, which made me think he was doing it on purpose. So myabe you’re right. I hope the Iranian people can get free of the mullahs and the IRGC.
Yes, the Crown Prince is busy behind the scenes and is reportedly helping support the Immortal Guard as it continues to prepare for his call to the final battle.
It sounds as though the IRGC has largely displaced the mullahs and are apparently hoping the escalating intensity of infighting will finish the job.
A free Iran will be a blessing to the world.
While the US and its partners hold the upper hand, only our almighty and powerful God in Heaven can make this a reality. I pray dear Lord that you can make all the complicated people and pieces come together to end this terroristic regime and bring a lasting peace and economic prosperity to the nation of Iran. The entire world will celebrate and prosper.
Signing a peace deal with the Mullahs is like buying the Brooklyn Bridge with Monopoly money.
Good point.
It’s especially true now that the IRGC have usurped the power and the mullahs are no longer in control.
F Trump and his stupid deals. Hey dummy they don’t honor “deals” EVER
Your concern is duly noted.
Would you like to speak to the manager?
You can not help yourself, always telling everyone your IQ,”F Trump”
Yeah whatever, how many times have we been here. Blah blah blah. Wake me when gas is $2.50 per gallon.
I’m of the opinion that Iran has had enough.
The sooner PDJT gets them to sign, the less wiggle room they’ll have later. 🤷♀️
A memorandum of understanding means diddly squat when dealing with the Mullahs
Yeah… the only MOU’s I see that matter…. are the ones that the States’ Comptroller’s offices are signing reallocating cash from one state agency’s general ledger to another. Think: money earmarked for police force now heading to social services to pay for all the illegals – coming to you in both red and blue states.
Pretty enlightening investigation… if I do say so myself.
“We’ll see what happens.”
– President Trump
So far it’s delay delay,delay,delay.
Maybe this one will be different.
Suspicious Cat is on the alert
Praying the signing will take place this time!
North Korea before or after the mid-terms?
Sadly President Trump has become completely unrestrained. Why can’t he just hold his tongue? Does he think he’s using psychology, or his mastery of deal making, by constantly blabbering a play by play on his negotiations?
The LACK of actual deals is making him look foolish, or weak, or both. He places “blame” on the Iranian confusion, and maybe there is a TON of it, but knowing that, WHY BLAB ABOUT THE STATUS OF “DEALS”?
I know we retain our confidence in his leadership, but these actions are further winnowing the less dedicated who once voted for him, and for conservative alternatives. Alas, it’s probably too late anyway. The midterms will be a bloodbath. Mock me as many will, but we will have to be lucky to at least hold an even split in the Senate. The House? Gone commie again.
Oh man. You do not belong here.
Arguments are boring
Been here a long time. If all you want is mutual butt licking instead of critical thought, is that what the Treehouse is supposed to be? Pure cheerleading?
I can’t stand the atrocious way MTG and others decided to trash the President, cash out and become pretend conservatives. That’s not me. Conservatives CAN and SHOULD apply intelligent analysis to our own, and hold expectations high. I greatly care for our President but I do not fall in LOVE with any politician, even a non-politician like PDJT.
Agree – discussion and airing of thoughts is the key point. Do not fully share your view, but Trump talking much about upcoming plans does not appear additive to me, and would appear to warn Iranians – which I find very perplexing. In war you do not tell your adversary about your next step.
Also importantly, based on conversations that I have been having, many are not at all pleased with current actions (Republican back stabbing, Ukraine funding, so forth), or inactions (Swamp accountability – Brennan, FBI, DOJ). People may not like it, but there are many aspects that have people grumpy.
IMO we need to support those who give a chance for improvement in the ongoing congressional mess – Collins in Georgia comes to my mind. Here in OH take out 80 year old 44 year incumbent Marcy Kaptur. Take your pick, but current GOPe does not motivate the voter.
Much of what PJT says is messaging to certain groups of people and not so much his voters. This has been established many times
He is fighting quite the behemoth of globalists on all fronts. But it appears to me much is in motion breaking the old world guard
Orrrrrrr – THINK ABOUT IT. His seconds in command are telling him a deal is done. He announces a deal is done. And then it evaporates making Trump appear inept or untrustworthy.
That, my dear, is how the Deep State takes down a President.
Someone will start chirping about the 25 amendment – in 3, 2, 1…
I am pretty sure that this is what happening. I am not sure who is feeding him these false promises, it could very well be the IRGC themselves. They are masters at these games. They did get the bombing stopped didn’t they.
The worrying thing is, PDJT states that so many ME allies have agreed to the deal including Israel. Publicly. Now apparently Israel has not heard that IRGC has agreed.
I agree he should maybe wait until he sees the pen in their hands and a signature before he declares a done deal. People may get disheartened, those people that really care about President Trump that is. We love the man.
I don’t think it’s his people. I believe it’s IRGC in-fighting and gaslighting.
That being said, I also think their talking points (if they can be called that) are being produced by pro-IRGC Americans.
Your enthusiastic optimism is duly noted, as is your sterling deep analysis of events…in spite of their severe contradiction to many things that signal otherwise.
The IRGC will welch on ANY deal they have agreed upon.
Read his exact words carefully, I think he found a team on the ground ready to sign off, and IRGC ain’t part of that club.
I think so, too.
Just spitballin here….
I saw on X earlier a video saying the IGRC command and control facility was hit hard.
Curious if the less crazy leadership in Iran gave targeting suggestions, and after the craters were made, phone calls were made.
That is a real possibility. Perhaps was time to cash in on very precise intel for such a strike.
Recent reports from inside Iran suggest this is in fact the case.
You’re on target here. The Immortal Guard are not sitting idle, and there are increasing numbers of defectors inside the IRGC, Artesh and several government agencies quietly but actively helping them.

SCOOP: President Trump’s claim that a covert U.S. military operation has helped hundreds of commercial ships transit the Strait of Hormuz appears to be corroborated by an advisory earlier this month from INTERTANKO, the world’s largest tanker trade association, which describes a tightly controlled nighttime passage system operating along the Omani coast under close coordination with the U.S. Navy.

Tanker Industry Advisory Sheds New Light on Trump’s Secret Hormuz Transit Operation

“….Trump claimed...” Why is it never President TRUMP?
“….appears to be corroborated…”
The whole tone of that link is that P r e s i d e n t TRUMP does not usually tell the truth, so whatever he says is to be distrusted until it can be “corroborated.”
So, no thank you to “gcaptain” !
Sounds like a good plan but it’s not secret anymore.
Which leads one to ask the question – why speak openly about it…
In spite of the view of some regarding the President, there is always a reason behind his actions – and they aren’t what most perceive.
Will withhold judgment….
So we will have peace after the 39th time? Iran never won a war or lost a negotiation? What are the odds??
War or negotiation, that is the question…

Analysis
“As US changed tactics, Iran understood ‘no war, no peace’ unsustainable
Arman Mahmoudian, professor of international affairs at the University of South Florida, spoke to Al Jazeera earlier about the negotiations between the US and Iran.
“We witnessed a major shift of behaviour,” Mahmoudian said about Washington’s tactics.
“On June 7, the United States was pushing Israel to restrain from further attacks or retaliatory attacks against Iran, and then, by June 9, we have the United States attacking Iran, and on June 10 attacking again,” he said.
“There is a great deal of shift of diplomacy within less than a week. It showed to everybody that the current status quo – the current ‘no war, no peace’ – was not sustainable.
“Either it is going to resolve in a war, or it has to be a deal that comes out of it. There is no third option in it,” he added.
“I think the Iranians understood that.”
The key here might be who we are negotiating with.

…and whom is trying to scuttle them.
I love the guy. But it’s hard to watch this. Is he really as stupid as the left says? I was hoping for so much more.
It was a mistake a to negotiate with these guys Iranians.
Every time the US strikes Iran comes crawling back with a deal that is just about acceptable and then they undo the deal.
The simple solution is to keep bombing. Only stop the bombing when a deal is inked.
Iran has been drawing out meaningless negotiations around deals they don’t keep for 47 years. They aren’t going to change a successful pattern of strategic behaviour now. They must be forced to change. Continue the blockade of Iran, let more non sanctioned ships traverse the straits of Hormuz and keep bombing until they sign.
We praise God through the rain. May He cover us, bring peace to this world, and free our brothers and sisters from tyranny. Come, Lord Jesus, come!
If it worked for Jericho – it can work in this, too.
MercyMe – Bring The Rain
Amen, JWoo. It breaks my heart to hear the reports of the Iranian people who are so desperate for this regime to fall — who risk their lives by holding up signs saying, “Arm Us.” There are many Christians in Iran’s underground church who cry out for deliverance from their oppressors. I pray against any false deals, and agree in prayer that the God who delivered Jericho would do a miracle and free his children from this wicked regime, from the mullahs and their false religion and the brutal IRGC, in Jesus’ name.

The Iranians know one thing is sure: PDJT loves to negotiate.
Thankfully, I don’t think the president is going to allow himself to be Charlie Browned forever.
I never realized just how many people are so knowledgeable and adept at international relations, diplomacy, and war before reading the comments here. If only George Washington had access to the internet…

Oh please Iran will NEVER sign a deal. NEVER
The year is 2028.
Trump just announced that the deal with Iran is about to be signed this weekend. Iran says it is reviewing the final text. The U.S. says discussions are constructive.
Pakistan says a breakthrough is imminent.
Qatar says it is honored to have played a constructive role in facilitating the talks.
Qatar did not facilitate the talks.
Israel says it learned about the deal from Truth Social.
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon is still getting bombed daily.
Axios reports a rift between Netanyahu and Trump.
The White House denies it. Trump then posts a photo of himself and Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is not in the photo.
Oil jumps 3%. Then falls 4%.
Trump says the deal is being signed at the request of Pakistan and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, who Trump describes as “one of the great generals, maybe the greatest, people are saying.”
A senior official says we’re “closer than ever.” A different senior official says “significant gaps remain.” They work in the same office.
The next round of talks is scheduled for next weekend. It will also be described as a breakthrough. Qatar thanks Pakistan for its important role and takes credit for the progress.

Rinse and repeat
You forgot to mention that Hezbollah continues to bomb Northern Israel.
Those criticising President Trump for ‘running his mouth’ need to understand that his pronouncements are often part of the visible process of the deal being made. In the same way that the British Government used to broadcast messages to the various resistance groups via the BBC world service, the President is bypassing any interference caused by the use of intermediaries, who might be tempted to ‘modify’ messages for their own benefit, by making public statements that directly state the current US position to the Iranians involved.
There’s no coincidence that President Trump suddenly reveals that the USN have been running a highly effective stealth convoy system now, (total spectrum dominance proven), after announcing the bombing campaign was to be resumed. If the situation were as dire as the self-styled inter-web analysts suggested why not keep running it? Or that Bessant suddenly gives an interview about Irans’s neighbour’s now assisting US financial teams hunting regime cash, after IRGC strikes on them. The answer would seem to be, if my theory is correct, is that these were messages to all concerned.
To the IRGC it was a simple. ‘Stop, you’re screwed, not only can we negate the economic impact of the blockade, we can strike at will throughout the country, and guess who’s top of the targeting list, and when we mean targeting we also mean the billions salted away for your long-planned escape.
Message two, your mosaic strategy and attacking your neighbours has been entirely counter productive, not only has it revealed your inability to affect anything strategically but has put at risk your nest-eggs for enforced retirement and funding your off-springs extravagant life-styles. There’s also the FAFO message about pretending to be top dog, delusions being reinforced by IC operatives and MSM outlets, which is meant for the mid-tier leadership as a reality check and announcement that they are now on the chopping board not their superiors. This statement of strategic reality leads me to the final group of disparate recipients.
To Iranian leadership groups negotiating, sans IRGC. Stop being scared of the IRGC they are leading your country to a fate they knew would eventually happen if they were seriously confronted. Their much-proclaimed claims of power-projection, both at home and abroad, and ‘legendary’resilience is an illusion, if you don’t tell them to FO your entire nations infrastructure will be next. When you have no power and the restless mobs, who were been arming training and coordinating with in the ‘tap, tap, tap’ phase of this conflict, come calling do you honestly think they’re going to make a distinction between the IRGC and it’s coerced enablers? Make a deal, be seen as your nations saviours and then savour the feeling of kicking your tormentor’s butts as their power visibly evaporates the moment you sign.
To the Iranian people it’s simple, we never forgot you, we never stop listening we’re back. The days of the bullies who tormented you and lied to you and ruined your country, so that their off-spring could dress and behave in ways that would have you mercilessly tortured, are coming to an end.
And finally to the world it’s simple. On the 250th birthday of the America Republic we gave the Iranians a present, their country back, tell we which other country acts like that, when it has the power to do so? Tell me which other country has that power?
What’s in the Iran deal Trump says he’s ready to sign
