Here's Iran's Reported Response on Deal, and Trump's Reply Is Blunt

The Iranian regime has finally sent back its response to the U.S. on the question of a peace deal. But with Iran, you have to know going in that they are giving you something that looks like movement, while having a whole lot of "gaps" in the meantime, as the Wall Street Journal phrased it.

I'll put in the proviso that until the U.S. officially confirms details on anything that was in the proposal, this is a report on what it supposedly says. According to the WSJ, the response doesn't "resolve the U.S. demand for commitments in advance on Iran's nuclear program, and its stockpile of enriched uranium."

Instead, it's proposing ending the fighting and a gradual opening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting of the U.S. blockade. That is followed by talks about the nuclear issue for over 30 days. They're proposing having some of their highly enriched uranium diluted and the rest transferred to a third-party country.

Iran says they're willing to stop enriching uranium, but for a shorter period than the 20-year moratorium the U.S. wants. They are also rejecting the dismantling of their nuclear facilities.

So there's some movement in there, but there's also a lot hanging out in the wind. And they're still appear to be playing this "release us from the blockade" before getting to the nuclear promises, which isn't going to work, if this is true.

They're not honest actors, so how could you even be sure you got it all? Maybe our intelligence knows how much they have, but you would have to be sure of that. And what third-party country, and could you trust them? Not to mention the other issues like proxies and ballistic missiles.

What this really means is that the blockade is really hurting them.

President Donald Trump posted this about an hour ago, noting 47 years of game playing from Iran and delay.

"Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!), and then finally hit “pay dirt” when Barack Hussein Obama became President. He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter. Every Bank in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out — It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it. They had never seen money like this, and never will again. It was taken off the plane in suitcases and satchels, and the Iranians couldn’t believe their luck. They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President. He was a disaster as our “Leader,” but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden! For 47 years the Iranians have been “tapping” us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!

So, if that wasn't clear, this was.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump said in a post shared on Truth Social.

That clock I've been talking about on the window for Iran may have just run out.

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
