U.S. and Iran Nuclear Talks

The big event supposedly happened yesterday in Oman.  I say supposedly because they were not, as Trump deliriously told us last week that they would be face to face.  In fact these are indirect talks.  Which might be a blessing since I have no good reason to believe Witkoff can negotiate any deal with Iran.

After the meeting all the major players told us progress was made, (translation-we all showed up), and of course they acknowledged “diplomatic hurdles” and that those hurdles were very “complicated”.  Translation: Iran wants months for these talks to drag on so they can continue to process more nuclear material for a bomb.

Trump also addressed the negotiations while on Air Force One en route to an event in Miami, telling reporters. “It’s going OK.  I don’t want to say too much—nothing matters until it is finalized.  But it’s going OK. I think the Iran situation is looking fairly good.”  

Unfortunately butterfly kisses and positive thinking won’t get a deal done, it will take military action to accomplish ending the nuclear ambitions of Iran.

Pray for peace, but keep your powder dry! Rh
