It seems Donald Trump and Iran can’t even manage to get on the same page about whether or not they’re even talking about a new peace negotiation.
Over the weekend, Trump stood aboard Air Force One in that leaning tower of bullshit way that he does, and told reporters that negotiations with Iran would begin “tomorrow afternoon,” with a specific focus on reopening the Strait of Hormus and guaranteeing that Iran never acquires or accesses nuclear weapons, as Trump’s illegal war with the country rages well into its sixth month.
The US President went on to claim that he had originally planned to launch “the biggest attack since World War II” but abandoned that plan after Iran and other regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, allegedly made appeals to avoid it.
Trump told reporters on the matter, “I’m not looking to kill people, ’cause people die. A lot of people die. And we don’t want that.”
“Now what we’re doing is we’re talking to them in the form of a negotiation. It begins tomorrow afternoon.”
He went on to claim that the “perimeters” of a new deal have already taken shape, after his last peace negotiation with Iran didn’t last long enough for the ink to dry.
Iran says every bit of Trump’s drivel was complete and utter bull.
