The United States did engage in diplomatic efforts with Iran before military actions in June 2025. According to reports, U.S.-Iran negotiations began on April 12, 2025, with the Trump administration pushing for Iran to abandon its nuclear enrichment program. U.S. officials assessed that Iran was in a weak position and might return to the negotiating table, with potential high-level talks involving Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

However the talks between the U.S. (via Special Envoy Steve Witkoff) and Iran in 2025 ultimately failed to prevent escalation. Despite multiple meetings, including direct talks on April 12, 2025, and June 13, 2025, in Oman focusing on Iran’s nuclear program and a potential ceasefire, the negotiations did not yield a lasting agreement. Key points:

The talks aimed to halt Iran’s nuclear enrichment in exchange for de-escalation, but Iran’s demands and the U.S.’s insistence on verifiable commitments led to a stalemate.

Israel’s unilateral strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities starting June 13, 2025, and Iran’s retaliatory missile attacks, further derailed diplomatic efforts.

 

Would that be the same stone that Trump dumped the JCPOA in 2018? There was a treaty in place during his first presidency.

And in other breaking news, Trump says, 'we've bombed Fordo, it's Hobbiton and middle earth next.'

Yes show some respect!

Mean while some countries are now saying they are willing to supply Nukes to Iran.

This is not over by a long shot!

Soon it will be TACO time again!

I know you didn’t know that.

Regardless,  they didn’t succeed in America.

America number 1!  Show some respect towards your liberators.

 

 

Your attack reflects ignorance. Some of us have had proper educations and/or are well read.  You neither liberated me, nor my nation. Obviously you are trying to antagonize and to provoke. The free world was fighting the nazis starting in Spain in 1936. The USA did not show up until 1942, and then it came only because of Pearl Harbor. Until then, the USA was content to  profit from the war.

This shows how screwed up the Russians are. North Korea and Russia are the only two nations and maybe Pakistan would do this. However, now that the USA  has shown that it is neither isolationist or  a coward like the EU does not have much to worry about. Anyone  screwing around will  get vaporized.

Iran had 15 years to negotiate an agreement. Instead it  delayed, lied and dragged  talks out. The plan that you are trying to pass off as an agreement to limit nuclear arms was not. The Iranians, one week after signing  stated that the plan would not limit their nuclear  weapon and  missile development  activities.

 

President Obama did not believe the Iranians.  He was the person who  initiated the building of bunker buster bombs. At the time that the plan was signed, it was  the only option available to the USA to slow the Iranians down.

I reckon that's about half-a-dozen times that various members have posted this statement in this thread, so I'm not sure if it's being used as an endorsement or a criticism.

Rather fitting in the context of this news item that some rely on a Zionist leader to do their thinking for them.

And once again another  statement attributed to a person out of context. Jabotinsky was not a zionist leader. He was however a Lieutenant in the the Royal Fusiliers, serving in WWI and awarded an MBE. He was given to imagery befitting his his prewar career as  as a poet and playwright.  Radical leftists and Arab nationalists have tried to characterize the man as a right wing anti arab agitator. The reality is that his political writings advocate for a co-existence with arabs and that no arab should be forced out  their home or off of their land. He is the one who made the argument that  the  arabs in Israel should join in the new prosperity as equals. This sentiment did not go over well with some Israelis, or Arabs as it promoted co-existence, and so he was targeted, subject to false claims.

It is a nonsensical statement out of context and not reflective of the political views of Lt. Jabotinsky MBE.

Quite the sensitive leftist.   More so than most.

 

 Never confuse your claimed higher education with intelligence.  
 

Facts are facts.  Germany decimated the RAF.   If not for the USA, they would have crossed the channel in their own version of D-day.  On an English beach.

[spidermike007]

This could end up being Trump's Vietnam or Afghanistan, a 20 year war costing trillions. The difference being that neither of those nations had the kind of money that Iran has, nor the oil reserves, and the kind of international influence when it comes to terrorist organizations. The secondary aspect of this is that Iran has one of the most talented hacking teams on the planet so the amount of misery, damage and terror that they can rain down upon the US Mainland is unfathomable.

 

Trump of course doesn't know this because he's not someone who possesses any vision, he never reads anything, nor does he pay attention to his intelligence briefings. So he lives in a blissful state of ignorance 24/7, but some of us know better. 

 

I'm not a supporter of Iran, nor am I a supporter of terror, however the Trump goes about things is always wrong, he never gets it right.

Now let me think about American history, perhaps you can put me right.

The USA was formed by a huge influx of mainly Europeans speaking many different languages, so in the end a single language had to be determined for its future.

 

Now, was it a toss up between German and English, my old grey cells seemed to remember something like that......?    🤭

 

Being English, I feel quite humbled that you chose (not personally) my country's language.....

So yes, Great Britain, Rule Britannia.......😋
