Things are getting very desperate for Donald Trump right now. He's quite literally begging Iran to negotiate with him. He's basically saying, please show up in Pakistan.
βTell me what you need. Iran's like. You have to agree to our 10-point framework andβ
we don't just want to be there with wit cough and cushioner. You got to send JD vans and so right now it's unclear if Iran's even going to show up. All of the leaks that we're hearing to the media right now is the Trump regime's going to be showing up in Islamabad
for talks that may take place as early as tomorrow and still as of this recording we're hearing
from Iran. Unless Donald Trump agrees to the pre-conditions, there's no point of doing this. And you mean you have Iran's president, possession, skin, making posts like this. You have Iran's foreign minister, Iraq, she making statements like this. The leader of their parliament and be gollabov making statements like this. So I just want to share with you here are the statements Donald Trump is making. Here are the statements that the Iranian leaders are
making. Donald Trump is sending people to Islamabad. As of right now Iran is making public statements
βstill that they don't want to do that until the pre-conditions are agreed to. And if they don't seeβ
any utility in just Donald Trump ranting and randling like lintik. So judge for yourself using just these statements. But let's just go through it. What's happening right here. So what we heard is that senior Pakistani government sources have told roiders. Pakistan is confident it can get Iran to attend talks with the United States. But Trump is trying to lean hard on field marshal Munir in Iran to try to get Iran to show up. Then Donald Trump's just posting things like this.
I mean, is ridiculous. Here's Trump's post. I'm winning a war by a lot. Things are going very well.
Our military has been amazing. But if you read the fake news like the failing New York times,
you would actually think that we're losing the war. The enemy is confused because they get the same media reports. And yet they realize their navy has been wiped out. So Trump says the real issue here is Iran reads the New York Times. So they're confused about what's happening. I mean, how ridiculous of a statement is. Then Donald Trump's like their former leaders are mostly gone. This has been an addition to everything else. regime change exclamation point. So Donald Trump's claiming that the
fact that the Islamic regime is still in power, that that is regime change. And then Trump's like the anti-America fake news media is rooting for Iran to win. But it's not going to happen. No one is rooting for them to win. Think what we're asking for is that there be no war crimes committed, no genocide committed, period, especially in the name of the United States. And that there be truthful data about what the hell is really happening here. And then Americans know
what is actually going on because there's the largest oil supply shock in history and the largest supply shock of a lot of other things. It's going to cause massive economic pain and it already is. Then Donald Trump writes the Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of ships towards the United States. Mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska to get their oil. Thank you very much, Donald J. Trump. And what are you even talking about? Iran has four ships in the United States.
I mean, are you saying that the US exports a lot of oil? And then there's a lot of drilling in the US. Actually on a drilling basis year over year, drilling is actually down slightly now from under former President Biden. But regardless, no one doubts that the United States exports and has a lot of a lot of oil. A lot of crude. I mean, nobody doubts that. The issue is is that oil is connected to an international market. And when there's a supply shock in impacts WTI crude and
βrent crude, it has an effect. That's why our gas prices are right. So again, just give us the facts.β
It tells the truth. I mean, again, just arrange statements by him. And then he goes, the Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position. We are on, we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I, lasting four years and three months and 14 days, World War II, lasting
60 years and one day, the Korean War lasting three years, one month, two days.
lasting 19 years, five months and 29 days, which was like, this is going faster than all of those wars. You know, why don't you just pay attention to the details and stop talking about the length of this war and that war? Just tell us what the real objectives are. Explain it. Stop contradicting yourself every day.
βJust behave like a freaking grownup. I think that's what everybody's saying and stop committingβ
war crimes and stop committing genocide. I mean, I think it's basically that simple. Then Donald
Trump's like, I read the fake news saying that I'm under pressure to make a deal. This is not true. I'm under no pressure whatsoever. Although it will all happen relatively quickly. Well, if you're not under pressure, then why are you sending JD Vans, Whitkoff and Kushner to Iran and having as to Pakistan and having Iran, having Pakistan basically beg the Iranian leaders to show up in Pakistan. Why wouldn't you be playing hard to get? If you were in a really great negotiating position,
why would you say, all right, Iran, we're not going to negotiate until you agree to our conditions. Here are our conditions. But it's the opposite way. Iran is saying, we're not going to agree to show up unless you agree to our conditions and our framework. So if you were in a great negotiating position, why are you adopting their framework? I mean, you posted it publicly that you agree to Iran's 10 point framework. And now you claim, oh, I didn't mean that. I meant my framework. I just
βreposted their foreign ministers framework. Just because. Ha ha. That's how cunning I am. I mean,β
it's just it's just stupid stuff. More posts from Donald Trump saying the deal that we are making with Iran will be far better than the JCPOA commonly referred to as the Iran nuclear deal.
They actually gave Iran $1.7 billion in green cash loaded into a Boeing 757 and flown to Iran.
But if a deal happens under Trump, it will guarantee peace security safety. Not only for Israel, the Middle East, but for Europe, America and everywhere else. It will be something that the entire world will be proud of. At most right now, you're talking about a weaker version of the JCPOA. We're Iran controls the straight of our moves, which they didn't before this unlawful and catastrophic war. And then Donald Trump just misrepresents everything. I mean, Obama in securing a
multilateral JCPOA deal, which had buy-in from the rest of the world and mechanisms for inspecting Iran that the entire world bought in on. Iran didn't control the straight of her moves then.
βAnd there wasn't $1.7 billion in green cash loaded. First off in this, oh, what happened?β
I mean, Obama gave certain amounts of money as part of a settlement agreement that preceded any of the JCPO talks that dealt with a settlement for the Islamic Revolution,
that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard was claiming that they should be paid. But regardless,
it wasn't even green cash. It had to be converted into Swiss francs and into other currency. And in any event, it was $1.7 billion. If you even want to say it was tied to the event, go ahead and say it. But you've already given Iran way more in sanctions relief than $1.7 billion. You removed the sanctions on Iran, you know, and they controlled the straight of her moves. And they were able to sell all of this oil. And now you're blockading the Persian Gulf. You
already gave Iran way more money than Obama ever did by far. And he secured a multilateral deal. Even though the payment wasn't tied to the JCPOA, even if it was tied. It secured a massive deal and America was safer. And the whole world bought in. And so what's better? That or you and Kushner and your whole family grifting to the tune of tens of billions of dollars from Middle East nations. So where else are we at right now? As I mentioned, you have the senior Pakistani government
fish saying, we're trying to get Iran to show up. We're trying to get Iran to show up. Iran is saying, we ain't going to show up unless our preconditions are met. And JD vans needs to be there because we don't trust Whitkoff and Kushner. We don't trust vans either. But at least vans has publicly spoken out against the war before us. So we're good with vans. You have far in minister Iraq, Chief Iran calling up Russia right now, updating Russia on the
situation. And Iraq g told his counterpart Lavrov that Iran will monitor U.S. behavior and take the appropriate decisions to protect his interest in national security. He goes on to tell his Russian counterpart Lavrov that illegal behavior and contradictory positions of the U.S. are incompatible with diplomacy. And he also goes on to say that the U.S. is continued violations of the ceasefire are a major obstacle and continuation of diplomatic processes. So those are the statements there.
The statements from Iranian state media are as follows. Iran's decision not to attend the negotiations has not changed up to this moment. Trump had also said yesterday in similar remarks that the American negotiating team is on its way to Islamabad. Pause there. Do you remember that Donald Trump said that they were going to be negotiations last Thursday and Islamabad? I just
Want to remind you, they pulled the same thing last week also.
received by the Taznam reporter indicates that the issue of the maritime blockade is a very
βfundamental obstacle in negotiations. The U.S. blockade of the Persian Gulf is a threshold negotiatingβ
issue. And this matter has been announced through the Pakistani intermediary who also stated today that he raised the issue with Trump. In other words, "Munir," the field marshal in Pakistan.
He's the top guy there. They're military leader, but he basically is the main person who runs
Pakistan rather. He told Donald Trump, "You can't have an negotiation while you keep this blockade on." However, in addition to the issues of the naval blockade, there are other excessive demands from the Americans in exchange messages that do not present a bright horizon for the upcoming negotiations. Therefore, the Iranian delegation believes that as long as the United States does not look at the issues realistically and continues to hold the same misguided calculations,
that led to its heavy defeat on the military front, its approach to the negotiating table
βwill merely be a waste of time and Iran will not accompany the United States in this processβ
of wasting time, accordingly until some fundamental obstacles are removed and a clear horizon
emerges for reaching an agreement acceptable to Iran, Iran has no basis for participating in
American theater. Iran also takes into account this scenario of the possibility that the media shows about negotiations are deceptive and that is prepared for military confrontation and the renewed punishment of America. So in other words, Iran is saying that they don't believe the U.S. is agreeing to negotiate in good faith and it's possible that either one Donald Trump just is contradicting himself in his ranting and raving like a lunatic or this is intentional media
deception in order to prepare for ground forces, but Iran doesn't trust the United States, so Iran says agreed to our preconditions. So as Donald Trump says I'm not panicking, I'm not begging, I'm not doing anything. Iran setting the preconditions yet again while you're out there,
calling up the New York Post and calling up writers and calling up the hill and calling up,
you know, any reporter you want to talk to and say, oh, we're going to do it. Iran wants to make it deal so bad. The Iran's going to make it deal. Minobiously to manipulate the market. You have President Pasechkin of Iran. He posted the following message. He writes honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue. Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward the U.S. government conduct remains. While unconstructive and contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message,
they seek Iran's surrender. Iranians do not submit to force. And so Iran saying, we're not going to respond to your social media posts. All caps saying, we're going to surrender. We're going to pound them into the ground. We're going to obliterate you. We're going to destroy your bridges. Iran is saying, that doesn't work with us. That's not an effective strategy in dealing with us. And Donald Trump says it's highly unlikely he'll extend the two-week ceasefire with the
Iran without a deal. And the straight of her moves will stay blocked until an agreement is reached. A U.S. officials also leaking to Axios. Trump doesn't want to fight anymore. But he will, if he feels he has to. And then the GOP social media accounts in the United States are now just posting trust Trump. No two panicans. Trust Trump. No two panicans. Also worth noting what's going on in Lebanon is the ceasefire holding in Lebanon. It isn't. We're learning about Israeli strikes
near a coffee shop in southern Lebanon, injuring six. Israel's claiming his bull is attacking them. In Lebanon, they're claiming Israel's striking coffee shops and innocent civilians as well. So I don't believe there's a ceasefire that's really holding in Lebanon right now. And one other thing to point out, yesterday the United States reported that two of its officials in Mexico had died in a car accident. And we talked about how suspicious that was. And then it was
probably CIA operations taking place. Well, now Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday, she was not aware U.S. embassy officials were working with the northern state of Chihuahua to combat drug cartels and said her government would review whether national security law was broken after officials died in a car crash. Two U.S. officials and two Mexican state officials were killed in a car crash on Sunday, purportedly where they had been working to destroy clan desktines,
drug laboratories. Speaking at our daily morning press conference, Sheinbaum said she would ask the U.S. ambassador to meet with foreign minister of Mexico to discuss the incident. The role of the U.S. personnel and anti cartel missions is highly sensitive in Mexico. And Sheinbaum has repeatedly
βsaid while intelligent sharing and security cooperation are essential to fighting organized crime.β
Mexico will not accept U.S. boots on the ground. And the Mexican officials killed in the
Accident where the director of the state's investigation agency and an office...
on Sunday. And that's what Reuters is reporting right now. So it does seem like it was a cartel
βoperation that was not being told to Sheinbaum, although we'll learn more and we'll report moreβ
here on the minus touch network. So that's where we're at right now. We'll keep you posted
