It looks like there could be a crack in the egg shell in Persia. Apparently leaders in Iran have contacted the WH and they and Trump have talked and are currently undergoing negotiations towards reaching a resolution, and in that spirit, Trump has agreed to suspend further military assault upon Iran pending the good faith actions of the Iranians.

 
Trump would rather have peace than war but there needs to be a change in Iran.

Well, I cannot believe that Trump would settle for anything less. Trump needs to win something positive out of every encounter. ITMT, it would not surprise me me that he is also using the time to continue to shore up strategies on defending Hormuz and getting international aid in protecting it, as well as buying time for the military to further assess Iran's latest threats against energy facilities elsewhere in the region, not to mention assessing the incident with the missiles aimed at Diego Garcia.

My guess is that either Iran is trying another fake out just buying time, or if they are serious, we are days from a breakthrough resolution and final settlement which will have to include no nuclear program, free access for inspections, and a cessation of continued violence against local civilians, or if these talks break down, we will be entering the ugly 2nd phase of this war with Trump in an all-out barrage with no holding back absolutely pummeling Iran with Iran unleashing its final assault against the region.

But if these missiles aimed at Diego Garcia came from Iran (and who else would be firing them?) it is proof that Iran has been lying all along and that Trump was right that Iran was a bigger threat than they ever let on.

Iran was a bigger threat than they let on.

This is half good, half bad

What I want to hear is the current government forced into exile and all the rockets and drones destroyed
 
Iran was a bigger threat than they let on.

Thus both proving Trump's point and justifying this attack if they indeed have booster staged intermediate range (2500 mile) missiles capable of reaching as far as central Europe.

If the world did not know they had this before, they know it now, and settlement or not, our military has gained a lot of knowledge in these three weeks that in any future conflict, will serve us well.

In fact, the USA might end up using any settlement to ourselves buy time to reevaluate these matters to come back on Iran even harder in the future.

Iran has shown much of its hand and played most of its cards, ITMT, I'm sure the USA will continue speedily building an army of advanced drones and other low-cost items along with restocking lots of its bigger toys.

I can't see Trump accepting the current regime unless some major concessions are made, ITMT, it is also up to the people of Iran whether they accept them or not. It may be that the IRGC is so weakened at this point that they fear being on the edge of being able to resist being overthrown from within.
 
Iran says now they were never in talks with the US.

Iran’s foreign ministry said there was “no dialogue”between Tehran and Washington, state affiliated media reported, adding Trump’s statement was “part of efforts to reduce energy prices and buy time for the implementation of his military plans.


Personally, I hope there is dialog to end this War though who knows.

Regardless, bombing Iranian power plants could cause a humanitarian and refugee crisis that would make Iraq and Syria seem like child’s play.

OK....Game on!

 
Why would we have talks with an opponent we've already beaten?

Our President has already said, any number of times, that we've "won".

So why is this happening?

Oh yeah. Because he's a goddamn liar and his flock will mindlessly defend him.

LEAVING MAGA Support Group

The difference being that neither Obumma nor Biden had any stomach for war and were willing to accept any offer rather than fight and Iran knew it, whereas, Trump would be more than happy to drop a nuke on the whole country if he thought he could get away with it and has Iran on a short leash and they know better than to try to string Trump along.

They set a deadline once before with Trump and 5 minutes after Iran let it run out, Trump killed their ayatollah and went to war against their country hammering them to pieces.

And there are a bunch of marines on the way along with other ships including some from other countries.

I hope trump does the right thing rather than take the easy way out

Because they called us up begging not to destroy their energy facilities after destroying their air force, navy, and 90% of their strategic weapons short of little bottle rocket stuff to hopefully:
  1. Try to save something of their country and regime while still staying in power?
  2. Try to buy a little time to regroup for a few days to figure out their options?
  3. Try to buy some time to move nuclear stockpiles and figure out an escape?
  4. Try to stall long enough for Iran to figure out another way of trying to get Trump?
If these talks fail, the result will be an all-out war with us throwing everything not nailed down at them while Iran makes its best, final assault at the entire region.

That is when the marines move in and we take Kharg island the hard way and this becomes a serious war. Once that happens, there will be no stopping Trump until every last mullah is dead.
 
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. was talking with a “respected” Iranian leader and claimed the Islamic Republic was eager for a deal to end the war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.
war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.


Trump’s turnaround, which held out the possibility of resolving the war now in its fourth week, served to drive down oil prices and jolt stocks. It offered a reprieve after the U.S. and Iran traded threats over the weekend with potentially catastrophic repercussions for civilians across the region.

Trump told reporters that Iran wants “to make a deal,” and claimed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner had held talks with an Iranian leader Sunday. He did not say who was representing Iran but said the U.S. has not talked to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Trump put himself in a corner. According to Iran's Foreign Minister there have NOT been talks. Trump is looking for a way out.
