Trump Weighs Final Approval on Iran Ceasefire Deal

Trump making it up again; it is so cringe watching this as a non-American, he is a real clown.

Americans must die of shame though, having elected a buffoon with so advanced dementia, that even people directly threatened by the "full might" of the American military are laughing about his constant idiocy.

Does he expect the world's number 1 sponsor of terrorism just to hand over enriched uranium? He is far more concerned with the stock market.

Has he broken the news to the Iranians?Im thinking they will continue to indirect shipping in the straights till old donald is no longer in the picture minimum.

Very misleading headline hinting that the Don is considering saying yes to what is on the table, whereas in reality nothing has changed, both sides still far apart from coming to an agreement and the Iranian side claiming Trump’s statement is half truth half lies.

Very difficult to know what to believe from either side, we need an impartial overview to tell us the actual state of negotiations.

The demand that Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile (HEU)—currently buried beneath the ruins of the facilities hit by B-2 bombers 11 months ago—must be "unearthed by the United States... and DESTROYED" is something the IRGC simply cannot accept without declaring total capitulation. It completely strips away the diplomats' vagueness about "future talks" and demands immediate physical disarmament.

By declaring flatly that "No money will be exchanged, until further notice," the White House targeted the single incentive Iran had for playing along with the 60-day MoU framework. Tehran was banking on the immediate unfreezing of $12 billion to $24 billion in overseas assets just to clear their name and stabilize their economy. Taking the cash off the table effectively collapsed the negotiation's core trade-off.

Looks like there will be no MOU or 'deal', which can only mean one thing??..BOOM!

I think negotiations have broken down,

President Trump has made it crystal clear that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and that the HEU, must be destroyed, also the Strait of Hormuz, must be opened up for the free flow of traffic?

Iran/IRGC have said they will not turn over the Highly Enriched Uranium and the Strait will only be opened if they, Iran, control it.

So it's an impasse?

The clock is ticking down to zero?

Trump has threatened ti impose sanctions on Oman if it cooperates with Iran in establishing a tolling system.

I think that there will be some form of toll when this is all over except it will be worded differently maybe an environmental charge to help with the cleanup after Israel & the US have bombed a few bridges and power stations and Iran has retaliated by sinking a few tankers loaded with oil and attacked a few oil terminals and desalination plants.

Lets not forget none of this was necessary its only that pathetic moron who thinks he knows best that has caused all this.

On the other hand lifting the naval blockade which is dependent on the Strait being opened to freedom of navigation would mean oil can be exported by Iran again and as it is it's estimated they're losing half a billion dollars a day in revenue. I've also seen estimates of three weeks to 3 months before they have to start capping wells. Capping oil wells off is NOT a good thing when oil is the lifeblood of an economy. The enriched material is the real sticking point and if they don't agree to Trump's demands on this and to never to have nukes you're right, this will go "BOOM!" again.

The Don has egg on his face especially when the people of Iran did not rise up and over throw their government

He is looking for a easy option to get out of this mess especially as people around the World including the USA have seen their living costs fuel food ect rise

Just a one sided fantasy. Reality shows us that for all his bluff and bluster, Iran hasn't blinked and is not going to blink. They are still exporting their oil and everyone is p*ssed off at the USA and Israel for the debacle they have created.

Do you think even a single consumer outside of the USA blames Iran for any of this? Talk about being tone deaf...

DT and crew are scraping around trying to find a way to frame it as a win. They were warned, but didn't listen. I guess that's what you get when you utilise AI to shape government policy.

There's not going to be any BOOM. The USA tried and failed to get a UN Security Resolution passed, in order to obtain some legitimacy for their frankly, illegal behaviour. Of course always happy to veto any resolution against Israel.

No one is going to publicly join their illegal attacks nor deplete their own weaponry to do so. This has now been reduced to a face saving exercise.

Not much though and not enough to counter the huge monetary loses due to the blockade and not enough to start emptying the ever filling storage capacity which when full will result in the need to start capping wells off.

This take is detached from reality.

Iran is not winning by “not blinking.” Its economy is in freefall, its oil exports are heavily restricted despite smuggling efforts, and its people are suffering under severe hardship.

The IRGC’s strategy of harassing the Strait has raised global oil prices, but it has also inflicted massive self-harm. Most consumers outside the West do blame Iran — especially in Asia and Europe, whose economies are getting hammered by higher energy costs.

The idea that the world is united against America and Israel while sympathizing with the Islamic Republic is pure fantasy.

Trump is not desperately “framing a win” or relying on AI. He is applying maximum pressure after Iran repeatedly violated red lines, attacked US bases, shot down drones, laid mines, and threatened his negotiators.

The US does not need a UN Security Council resolution to defend its forces or allies — that’s a weak legal argument, especially coming from a regime that routinely violates international law.

The idea that there will be “no BOOM” is wishful thinking. Diplomacy has failed because Iran refuses to give up its nuclear program or control of the Strait. The military option is very much alive, and pretending this is just American face-saving ignores the fact that Iran is the one running out of time and money.

So? You feel like you are winning by making the Iranian people suffer? They would not have even had that 60% Enriched Uranium if it weren't for that idiot and his backers. So the whole world has to suffer for his idiocy and now his face saving exercise, as he cannot allow himself to be seen as an absolute loser. Tell us about his success with China. How he really socked it to them. Trump is a bully. But when it comes to the big boys, his bluff and bluster doesn't work. They don't flinch. So he has to suck up to them.

Full of rubbish again !!

Where is your proof that Iran was building nukes !!!! There is currently no official proof that Iran is actively building a nuclear weapon. While international agencies express deep concern, the evidence of past weaponization and current technical capacity is highly distinct

“Iranian oil fields, wells, and pipelines aren’t going to explode from being shut down,” said Robin Mills, a non-resident fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy and the CEO of Qamar Energy. “Fields shut down all the time—they shut down for maintenance, OPEC restrictions, all kinds of reasons. It can be quite normal to even shut down production for weeks, or even months at a time and there are no major technical safety risks from doing so. Ideally, you would want a few days or weeks of warning, which the Iranians seem to have had in this case.”

In recent weeks, Iran has begun deploying improvised storage containers—including mothballed storage tankers in the Persian Gulf brought back into service to help deal with the blockade—as a means of continuing production in the face of the dilemma imposed by the blockade and avoiding production stoppages.

Rubbish! I don't know of even a single person that blames Iran. Everyone I know, even Trump supporters, blame Israel and the USA. The Trump supporters blame Netanyahu for getting Trump into the mess .Everyone else understands that life would have continued on as normal, if it weren't for Trump withdrawing from the JCPOA and the USA subsequently attacking Iran. That includes heads of governments. They would like the situation to go back to normal. But now they know that isn't going to happen. Whose fault is that? Israel and the USA. Iran has every right to defend itself and to seek reparations.

You are welcome to post any article from any popular source that shows consumers blaming Iran. That appears to just a fantasy of a twisted mind.

AI Overview

Consumers blame for high oil prices is largely directed at domestic politicians and foreign policy actions, rather than directly at Iran. While the average consumer is deeply aware that the ongoing conflict in Iran is the primary cause of soaring fuel and consumer costs, public polling indicates they primarily hold their own government and leaders responsible for failing to shield them from the economic fallout.

How Consumers Assign Blame:

• Political Leadership: In the United States, polling shows that a large majority of Americans (roughly 65% to 77%) attribute the surge in gas prices to President Donald Trump. Voters largely hold the sitting administration accountable for how they manage the geopolitical crisis and energy markets.

• Policy Strategy: Majorities disagree with the narrative that these price spikes are a worthwhile consequence of the war, feeling that the administration has not done enough to protect household budgets from inflation.

While consumers recognize that the disruption in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is the literal catalyst for the global supply shock, the buck stops with elected officials when voters experience pain at the pump.

This is pure revisionism.

The Iranian regime and the IRGC are not innocent victims “defending themselves.”

They have spent years aggressively pursuing nuclear weapons capability in violation of the JCPOA, funding and arming terrorist proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas), attacking international shipping, and launching direct strikes on Israel and U.S. bases.

The claim that “life would have continued as normal” if Trump hadn’t withdrawn from the JCPOA is false.

That deal gave the regime a patient pathway to a nuclear bomb while flooding it with cash. Blaming Israel and America for the current crisis is like blaming the police for arresting a bank robber who then shoots at them.

While some Western left-leaning circles blame the U.S. and Israel, the idea that “no one blames Iran” is simply wrong. Many consumers in Asia, Europe, and the Gulf are frustrated with the Iranian regime for disrupting global oil supplies and driving up energy prices.

The root problem is the regime’s own aggressive and destabilizing behavior. Portraying it as the victim while it threatens negotiators, attacks U.S. allies, and refuses basic concessions is delusional. The regime brought this on itself.

While i agree with you Iran is a terrorist state, you are making wild assumption in Iran making a bomb there is NO proof most expert agree Iran was years away from making a bomb, Israel and America started this war which is a proven Fact !! yes you can blame Iran for closing the strait but that is a strategy of war !!

Who attacked who here, and killed the Iranian leadership?

Iran is a State that chooses to support factions in the area that have legitimate animosity towards other States in the area that they don't agree with, same as the USA supports the Israeli's who have been at War since it was created with no regard to civilian casualties, and attacks anyone who disagrees with their point of view.

Sticking ones nose in where it is not wanted, Israel/USA, and Iran fighting back by shutting off oil supplies is a tactic people may well not like but what do they expect, rollover and die, not going to happen.

This is a deeply distorted and morally inverted take.

Iran and its proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis) initiated the current round of major conflict with the October 7, 2023 massacre — the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust — followed by thousands of rockets and direct Iranian missile/drone attacks on Israel.

Iran has spent decades building nuclear weapons capability in violation of international agreements, while openly calling for Israel’s destruction. The idea that Iran is just “fighting back” after innocently “supporting factions” is nonsense. Iran is the aggressor and chief sponsor of terrorism in the region.

Israel does not seek the destruction of Iran. Iran’s regime openly calls for the destruction of Israel (“from the river to the sea” and “death to Israel” are official policy).

Israel takes measures to protect its civilians (including warnings and precision strikes). Iran and its proxies deliberately target civilians and use their own people as human shields.

The USA and Israel are not “sticking their nose where it’s not wanted.” They are responding to a regime that attacks international shipping, threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz (a global chokepoint), builds nuclear weapons, and arms terrorist groups across multiple countries.

Iran is not some plucky underdog “defending itself.” It is a repressive theocratic regime that exports violence, oppresses its own people, and is willing to crash the global economy to protect its nuclear program and regional dominance. Shutting off oil supplies and attacking US allies is not legitimate resistance — it is economic terrorism. No serious person buys the narrative that Iran is the victim here. The regime chose this path through its own aggression and refusal to compromise.

It is now paying the price.

No, this is not accurate.

Iran was not "years away" from a bomb — it had already enriched uranium to 60% purity (very close to the 90% needed for weapons-grade), stockpiled enough material for multiple bombs if further enriched, and the IAEA repeatedly reported Iran obstructing inspectors and hiding nuclear activities.

The idea that Israel and America "started this war" is false — Iran and its proxies began the current round with the October 7, 2023 massacre and thousands of rockets, followed by direct Iranian missile and drone attacks on Israel.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz is not a legitimate "strategy of war" — it is economic terrorism that punishes the entire world (especially Asia and Europe) by driving up oil prices and disrupting global trade.

Iran chose this path through its nuclear escalation, sponsorship of terrorism, and repeated attacks. Blaming Israel and America for responding to Iranian aggression is classic victim-blaming. The regime is now facing the consequences of its own reckless decisions.

Correct, Iran/IRGC has 400Kg of 60% enriched uranium, fact!

For any civilian use, they would only need 3.7 % enrichment, so why enrich it to 60%?

To get get from 60% enrichment to 90% , would only take a few days, the 90% enriched uranium is weapons grade..ie to make a nuclear warhead, they already have delivery vehicles.

Utter rubbish !!

U.S. Intelligence CommunityAssesses that Iran is years away (potentially up to three years) from mastering missile delivery systems, noting that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has not formally authorized a dedicated military weaponization program.

Weaponization

At the time when the JCPOA negotiations concluded, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran would have needed one year to complete the necessary steps, not including fissile material production, for producing a nuclear weapon. This estimate assumed that Iran could complete fissile material production and weaponization in parallel. Iran, therefore, would have needed about one year to produce a nuclear weapon.

Until recently, the U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran had not resumed work on its weaponization research. A State Department official told CRS in an April 2022 email that Iran would have needed approximately one year to complete the necessary weaponization steps. This timeline took "into consideration assessed knowledge gaps" and reflected the intelligence community's "view of Iran's fastest reasonable path to overcome them," the official added. The current assessed public timeline is unclear. Then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley testified in March 2023 that Iran would need "several months to produce an actual nuclear weapon," but he did not explain the assumptions underlying this estimate.

IAEA reports indicate that Iran does not yet have a viable nuclear weapon design or a suitable explosive detonation system. Tehran may also lack sufficient experience in producing uranium metal; weapons-grade HEU metal for use in a nuclear weapon is first "cast and machined into suitable components for a nuclear core

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12106

The 2026 Iran war was started by coordinated military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28, 2026. [1, 2]

The joint operations—codenamed Operation Epic Fury by the U.S. and Roaring Lion by Israel—consisted of massive airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites, leadership, and nuclear infrastructure. The opening salvo resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other top official

legitimacy in war does not happen in this war or the USA would have war crimes against it for killing schoolgirls

you have any idea what it takes to make a Nuke !!! NO ! do some research

So whats Trump Achieved ? has the Iranian Government been toppled NO, has he ended Irans Nuclear capability NO, did he protect shipping going through the Straits NO, did he prevent Missile and Drone attacks on other Arabic Country's being hit NO , all he did was depleted Irans military usage. An Iranian spokesman has reportedly said Iran's Uranium enrichment is not up for discustion and other ceasefire deals are lie's presented by the US. So what has Trump won ?

do you know what medical isotope are !!!!!

Iran is banned from buying tc99 by sanctions. it is used for radioisotope in nuclear medicine, employed in approximately 80% of all nuclear diagnostic procedures worldwide. It acts as a radioactive tracer that emits gamma rays, allowing gamma cameras to create images of internal body structures

what has this to do with 60% uranium is because to produce tc99 isotope you need 60% enriched uranium

as I said They Iran have missiles, NOT able to carry a heavy payload ( nuclear) they need to build one capable of a heavy payload which could take 1 to 2 years

After 90% enrichment you need to Weaponize the material estimates 1to 2 years

ICBM to carry the payload 1 to 2 years

Iran does not have uranium deuteride, UD3 which they don't have, this is used as neutron initiator is necessary to ensure the chain reaction starts exactly at the right millisecond.

Iran is years away and the US know this !!
