President Trump said Iran has agreed to his biggest demand in order to stop the war: no nuclear weapons.
“They’ve agreed,” he said. “They will never have a nuclear weapon. They’ve agreed to that.”
Tehran has not stated that publicly — and denied even talking to the US. But Trump has made clear that the no-nukes demand is necessary for the US to stop its military campaign. The president’s comments came as the US and Iran are preparing for another round of negotiations in an attempt to bring a ceasefire to the war — while also gearing for a major combat operation if talks fall apart. “We’re actually talking to the right

For the twelfth time, we will not build nuclear weapons.

I was all in when Trump announced "unconditional surrender". So, why are we NEGOTIATING now?
I was excited when Trump declared "We won the war". So, why are we still dropping bombs and bringing in thousands of Marines?
I am a proud MAGA supporter, but I am having a communication clarity problem with my President regarding this war.

As usual, President Trump is playing 4-D chess.
He has to run a fine line between keeping the Iranian people fired up and keeping the IRGC giving concessions. And he is doing it. This police action is going super well. Lots of dead Ayatollahs. No nuclear threat. 20 countries sending battle ships to keep the Straight open. And the IRGC walking on eggshells knowing that one stupid action or misstep and they will be going "boom" very soon.

Yep. And we need to collect whatever quantity of enriched (and non-enriched) uranium or plutonium that exists now. They can be trusted with no nuclear material, none at all.

Sounds good. Now, will it be enforceable and enforced?

I guess we can believe them, because they've never lied to us before, right?

The devil will be in the details. Will they talk, talk while they build, build? How will it be different this time?

Because I get around 90% of my "news" from these pages, which often embed TV (Fox) News clips of the president speaking to reporters, I fear the president is increasingly looking for an off-ramp in his negotiations with "Iran's leaders," of whom we have repeatedly been told over the past several weeks are as dead as their naval, long-range missile, and drone strike capabilities. Unlike week 1 of the current excursion, what I haven't heard in week 3 or the start of week 4, is the president addressing the Iranian people about re-claiming their country that was violently overthrown by Khomeini and his band of Islamic revolutionaries almost 50 years ago. Speaking of news, I'm reminded of the final chorus of Don Henley's 1982 song, Dirty Laundry: "Kick 'em when they're up, Kick 'em when they're down, Kick 'em when they're stiff, Kick 'em all around."

Why, oh why, would we allow an Islamist to be in power? We know that they lie, we know that they hate the U.S. and Israel, we can be pretty sure they'll still try to make nuclear weapons with the help of Russai, China, and North Korea.

I thought we were running out of targets at 19 days. Yet they kept shooting missiles at everyone, and we needed to call in 20 nations to help with the shipping lines because they were blowing up ships? I thought we took out nearly all the heads of the Iranian government. Who is he talking to? More precisely, where are they located? How can they speak for the country? We were going to eliminate them. Is he talking to the regime? Why would he talk to any of them? Destroy all things nuclear, and kill all regime members (that ought to get them out of the country), then declare victory and get us out of there and let the Middle East (hear this SA) deal with the new Iran. He said, "unconditional surrender." Now, we've got a deal. Just stop.

Geez, suddenly everyone assumes that Trump is suddenly struck stupid.
He's not talking to the mullets. They are dead.
Apparently, we're talking to the military folks. Professional military officers are often FAR more sane and practical than the religious nutcases.
Give Trump some credit, for gosh sakes.

Would you trust the mad mullahs of Iran to follow through in the future on any issue that the are seemingly agreeing to now?

Much of what Trump says publicly is meant for Iran's ears. He is constantly reminding them that he has the biggest stick on the playground and that if they say one thing and do another, it gives him a reason to continue to apply pressure (one way or another).

There will never be a lasting Deal with any Islamic state! Any "Holy Book" which sanctions lying to further its agenda can never be trusted!

Trump is well aware that Iran has lied about this many times. He’s not stupid. There’s far more to the story that isn’t being shared with the media right now. Stay tuned.

I can understand peoples' reluctance to believe this is true given the mullahs' long history of lying. However, pay attention to what President Trump just said. This appears to be for real. Like wow.
Up until three weeks ago when Operation Epic Fury began, the middle east and Europe in general came darn close to a nuclear holocaust at the hands of the mullahs. President Trump should be able to sleep well at night for the rest of his life knowing what he has accomplished for humanity.
By the way, there is room at Mount Rushmore for the President's likeness. A modern-day Winston Churchill.

If anyone knows when another party is lying it's DJT. He grew up in the business world with sharks always circling. He also knows that they are trying to buy time before their entire military and hierarchy is gone. The satellites and other technology can then track their missiles' launch point. They will try to move the mobile units but the launchers can also be tracked. I noticed on the videos that those are also being vaporized. The heat signals from the engines also give them away. Iran just wants a breather to regroup and Trump knows this and the Iranians should know that they are not dealing with Jimmy Carter or someone similar. The Islamic nut-balls are also trying to stall until the midterms hoping that there will be enough feckless, idiot democrat fools to hobble him from doing what has to be done. I used to think the world's bad actors were the threat but now our biggest enemy is the the Democrat Party. The party of open borders, antisemitism, socialism, stupid, self-serving politicians and vote theft. Apologies for the long post but my coffee just kicked in.

"Peace in our time?" Don't think so. Like Poster #6, I believe Trump is playing 4-D chess, and we will see everything roll out splendidly very soon.

BFD. They ALWAYS promise that. I think Trump is still playing with them. I trust him enough to let this play out.

Any agreement from Iran is not worth the powder to blow it to hell.
