Trump Rejects Iran Proposal as "Totally Unacceptable"

46 minutes ago, ASEAN NOW News said:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile must be dismantled before the conflict can truly end.

He should get rid of his own stockpile of nukes, FIRST.

He should set a good example for the world.

Benji?

His hands are unclean.

Such an uplifting theme song for The BB:

The whole world is watching YOU...BB.

The entire world is watching YOU....Benji......

Thanks for EVERYTHING......you....nincompoop.....

The BB, the psychopath, needs to be voted out...and then....put in prison.

Such a war criminal, the world has seldom known.....

And then all other countries would get rid of all their nukes would they? It's called MAD for a reason.

Our destruction is mutually assured, for sure, if this what you mean.

Just a matter of time.

Counting the seconds, every day.

Enjoy.

No it's not what I mean. If the US got rid of it's nukes and Russia, Nth Korea and China didn't the mutual part of Mutually Assured Destruction becomes meaningless. As for Iran if they are allowed to become nuclear armed then other Middle East countries will also want nukes for their own version of MAD.

Be good to see the actual proposal from the regime but my guess is they want to keep their enrichment processing capability, their 460 kg of 60% enriched material and some sort of control over the Strait of Hormuz. REJECTED.

Maybe if you ask President Trump nicely and say you have given attention to the matter, he will send you a copy. In the meantime:

I am OK with everyone having their own personal nukes.

But, I just want to see Israel get rid of The BB, that rabid pit-bull....

He is rabid.

He ain't no Rabbi....

Yes, you are correct and reasonable.

Iran needs The Bomb, just as much as any other nation.

The Hormuz is Iran's ace in the hole.

They will never give it up.

Unacceptable to Trump's US oil baron supporters who want more time to make more super mega profits from the crisis.

Thing is the Strait is both Iranian and Omani waters with a freedom of navigation passage in the middle. It's not Iran's to do what they like with.

What did you expect Don?

Who says?

Wait and see.

These are some of the demands I've just seen.

Ending the blockade

Freedom to export oil

Ceasefire in Lebanon

Removing US sanctions

Unfreezing Iranian Assets

and this is the one which obviously is unacceptable

Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Who says what? The Strait of Hormuz is both Omani and Iranian waters with an internationally recognised freedom of navigation channel in the middle. This is a fact.

But, what you fail to understand is that ....at the very moment.....

It is IRAN which controls the strait.

Or, do you not understand?

Trump doesn't give a monkey's for international rules based order so why should Iran?

So you think Iran should have full control over the Strait of Hormuz?

To amplify on the above:

Inside Iran’s response to the US peace proposal

Even though both Iran and the US have kept the arrangements mentioned in the peace proposal confidential, with Pakistan also guarding the details as a mediator, Iran’s local news outlet Tasnim News Agency reported that Tehran’s response mainly focused on “ending the war” rather than agreeing to a temporary ceasefire.

And this cannot be allowed. The IRGC's mosquito fleet of fast boats, drones and surface to ship missiles is why it's "closed". Remember it is now also closed to Iranian vessels costing the regime an estimated $500m a day.

The CIA gave a report yesterday. Iran might go on months ahead (till the midterms??) with their strategy. Even missiles have been destroyed not even half. Oil is going to other harbours or being transported by pipe lines.

So the loser is ??? And who is humiliated?? NOT IRAN

Have you read the original US proposal and the Iranian counter proposal?

Instead of offering your imagined politically biased claim, how about identifying the parts of the US proposal that you believe are unfair or inappropriate?

Anothe wrong post !! Iran continues to move its crude, averaging over 1.6 million barrels per day using a "shadow fleet" of tankers and switching off tracking systems. it can export overland and the caspian sea

For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

To understand why the US and Iran are locked in permanent hostility today, you have to look at the exact seed planted by Washington over 70 years ago.

• The 1953 Original Sin: The US shattered Iran’s rising secular democracy when President Eisenhower authorized a covert CIA coup to overthrow ally Prime Minister Mosaddegh and to re-install the Shah, solely to secure Western oil assets.

• Funding the Terror: For the next 26 years, the US poured money, training, and surveillance technology into building SAVAK—the Shah’s brutal secret police force used to systematically torture and crush all secular political opposition.

• The 1979 Flashpoint: When the US admitted the deposed dictator into New York, traumatized Iranians feared a repeat of the 1953 coup. This directly triggered the embassy hostage crisis, destroying the political center and leaving radical clerics as the only organized force left to seize total power.

Washington traded a friendly, secular democracy for a temporary puppet king and cheap oil. When that monarchy inevitably collapsed under its own tyranny, it birthed the hostile, anti-Western theocracy we face today.

America—and now the world—is harvesting the consequences of the seeds the US planted in 1953, and Trump keeps planting more.

Also the Iran-Iraq war whereby the United States provided significant support to Iraq including billions in economic aid military intelligence, dual-use technology and covert operations training to ensure Iran cannot win. US claimed neutrality but in essence supported Saddam Hussein to counter the influence of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
