"Iranian State Media: There is no direct contact with Trump, not even through intermediaries. Trump retreated after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia."

(3,453 posts)I do think as more of Iran comes out to say this is not true we might be back to pre-opening numbers by end-of-day.
Reporters need to grill Trump on these talks. Who? When? How?
It will all fall apart.

(24,159 posts)The bullshit about to flow from the administration could fill the Strait of Hormuz for a decade. They're going to claim all sorts of nonsense, that Iran's nuclear program and ability to support terrorize is destroyed for a generation. They'll claim they destroyed 99% of Iran's weapons. Blah blah blah. Iran is going to ask for major concessions now, and they'll get them. And in the end, nothing has changed. Iran will continue to sponsor terrorism because they hold the Strait of Hormuz and can play that card in the future.
The biggest thing this has changed, is that there is no longer a strong opposition there. The protesters were slaughtered by the hundreds before we started bombing them and now the country is more united around their leaders after seeing the US bomb that girl's school. This whole thing cemented the power structure in Iran for another generation.
China and Russia are laughing all the way to the bank.
