Another coup by Trump, showing how strength in a leader is an asset.

Unfortunately the warmongers in office have no interest in diplomacy at all. They just want to bomb Iran.

They heard this warning through what mechanism? The Israeli bombing under and guided by the Biden administration?

You should wait for the slightest signs of success before declaring success.

There is no way Iran is giving up its one sided war on Israel and the US.

Iran has been shooting and supplying thousands of missiles to enemies. Let them squirm. Iranian people need to decide what they want more and vote accordingly.

Iran has been attacking US interests around the world for decades. Less than 1 yr ago,

Iran’s attack involved more than 120 ballistic missiles, 170 drones and more than 30 cruise missiles

That's a pretty serious aggressive behavior from a country claiming to want diplomacy. In fact, the US didn't attack Iran after that, rather the US attacked ex-Iranian locations in response.

Iran is more of an enemy to the US than Russia, but not as great an enemy as the country who killed 1.1M Americans from 2020 until 2023 and over 6M people worldwide.

The US has no interest in attacking Iran and if they stop attacking US interests around the world for even 6 months, diplomacy might get a chance. The ball is in Iran's hands, if only they can show some good will, which is doubtful.

Let us not forget that United States are an imperialist country trying to safeguard its own interests under the direction of the big US industrial military complex, the same one that President Dwight Eisenhower warned against in 1961.

History lesson:

In 1953  Mohammad Mossadegh, Iran's prime minister, was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup known as Operation Ajax. His government had nationalized Iran's oil industry, angering both the British and the U.S. After his removal, the Shah was restored to power, marking the beginning of an authoritarian regime until the 1979 Revolution.

We are now 72 years after this gaslight.

Lets adapt it to modern times, perhaps in Syria an ally of Iran, with Nobel Prize for Peace, Barack Obama.

The US administration two years after the start of the civil war in 2011 put in charge the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of operations to arm anti-government forces in Syria. One consequence of the program has been a flood of US weapons to rebels fighting alongside the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Nusra front.

A leopard never changes its spots.

The true nature of Washington hidden secrets and the manipulation of reality. Right?

So, if Trump's 'maximum pressure' didn't work when Iran wasn't a member of the world's largest trading organization, what makes the supporters of the genocidal scofflaw regime think it's going to work now that it is a member?

Oh, right, arrogant ignoramnce.

Iran belonged in Syria about as much as the US.
