Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials.
The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities.
They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

Why would the United States or its president allow this monstrosity survive?

As soon as iran's nuke program is fully eradicated, hamas, houthi, and hezbollah are eradicated, and the enriched uranium has been confiscated, and Khamenei is dealt with, then maybe can "talk". Until then, No Deal.

They want to talk and lie. Keep hammering until they don't have the any more capacity to do the development of nukes

Unless they pre-agree to completely dismantle their nuclear ( and missile) program with specific steps of verification, no deal !

All right. The mullahs and Ayatollah Hominy have to be the ones to pay the ultimate price. They completely screwed up Iran since 1979, and have been the #1 terrorist supporting regime on earth. They have got to go, or it's no go. And when I say go, I mean that they have got to die violent deaths, asap. Sonny Corleone would know what to do. No more Sollozzo tricks. Incoming!

Many of Hitlers henchmen wanted peace with England, conducting back door entreaties with the Allies. But Roosevelt and Churchill would have nothing of it, given the belligerence of Germany after WW I,
Same here.

This proposal certainly is worth studying. Set up some bipartisan committees in both houses of congress and take a good close look at the process of creating peace in the middle east. Shouldn't take much more than six months to arrive at a position paper on whether or not to proceed, and how, maybe. Meanwhile, let the party continue.

Apparently what is needed now is US deliery pf a bunker hustle bomb to the nuke store under the mountain which only we can do. We are thus directly involved.

Too late. The mullahs are engaging in a bit of taqiyya to save their power and control.

Meanwhile, Teheran rains hypersonic missiles into Israel. Don't trust whomever is making these communications. Don't talk until the Khomeini snake is dead and the nuclear program is buried deep under mountain debris.

Doesn't anyone else see Iraq 2.0 unfolding before our eyes?
We know they have a nuke program. We know they'll never give it up. We know theyll agree to anything and then incrementally cross every red line and impede inspection access.
Then what?
Pray tell.
Because if we invade them and kill their leaders we'll be stuck in another regime change war.
Exactly like Iraq which is now derided as a colossal screw up.

Israel has an intense interest in ending the threat of a mullahbomb. Can’t see any peace without physically ending that threat.

Oh, HELL NO! Don’t talk to them. Keep bombing and raining missiles down on them until all the mullahs, and all their military leaders, are dead. Then, bomb the roads leading out of Tehran. Then, bomb the electric power stations and the cellphone towers. They want to live in the 7th century - let’s arrange that for them.
We can arrange for a cease-fire with whoever might be left. In the meantime, get some arms to the opposition leaders.

The negotiating table is 300 feet below ground at their nuclear sites, where the US, Israel and Iran can all witness explosives being set and the places being destroyed. If they won't agree to that, then we know they don't really want to negotiate.

This is what they do. They pretend to be in talks while they work frantically to develop a nuke. It worked so well for them last time that they came very very close to having nuclear weapons.
We cannot let them do that again.

Years ago while making a deal with a known liar, a once not so great man said "Peace for our time", didn't work out so well for the Jews.

They had 60 days to negotiate, i.e. stall. Day 61 >> TIME'S UP!
This is a CRITICAL lesson to Iran and the world. Take Trump seriously or risk serious consequences. Iran has never negotiated in good faith and it's a waste of time and risk to lives to let them keep pretending to be "reasonable". They are NOT!
As others have said, once their nuclear program and its masterminds are DUST, we can talk. At least One non negotiable condition, if Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis launch attacks, IRAN is held responsible. They created these monsters. They are responsible for the damage they do.

I grew up in an area with Persian immigrants. I have known and worked with a lot of civilized and beautiful Persians. What the mullahs and warlords of Iran have done to that country is a historical crime of humanity. I look forward to their end but I wish well for the people like the ones I have known.
