Everything his negotiators now want was already provided for in the prior treaty, successfully monitored by US and European agencies, and he tore it up. Then after Iran was pretty much going to meet the US negotiators demands which included giving up their stockpile of enriched Uranium, the US and Israel attacked. Because they didn't want a deal, Netanyahu wanted a war.
Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu have now proven to the world that countries possessing nuclear weapons won't get attacked. No country has attacked Russia, or China, or North Korea.
And, Trump already reneged on an existing agreements signed by the US and then after that attacked with no warning even though the Iranians were agreeing to most of the terms of the last round of negotiations. He proved that himself and his administration cannot be trusted. Why would Iran agree to anything now?
Trump and Netanyahu are probably going to have to give in to some demands. And, future shipping to the US or Israel may have to be rerouted at great expense. Trump is basically trying to hold the global economy hostage. Iran has repeatedly stated that the strait is open to all shipping not for Israel or the US. The US has already let Chinese and Russian ships through. Trump is mainly trying to pressure NATO countries to do the dangerous job of patrolling the strait and launching a ground invasion for his and Netanyahu's war, that was launched without any consultation of the EU or Gulf states, after he insulted their service on our behalf for twenty years in the Global War on Terror after 9/11. And, NATO countries spending money and losing troops and resources in the Gulf would leave them less prepared to confront Russian aggression in Europe. i.e. Trump keeps BiBi and Pooty from releasing more dirt.
And he says this after King Charles speech before Congress urging a return to the rule of international law and mutual security and an end to authoritarian rule having no accountability to the people. Another slap in the face to or allies who have been with us for over 100 years.
Trump must be expecting to make a lot of money off of IRAN.
Who's going to release more Epstein files first? Putin? Bibi? or Ghislaine?
