The ceasefire expired yesterday and the administration is sending confusing, contradictory messages about the state of a new deal.

    I do, actually: they aren’t. Trump might make a tweet at some point, but he is not capable of negotiating, therefore he currently is not.

    I’m pretty sure Iran said it wouldn’t bc it can’t trust this administration.

    Hmm, I don’t “know”, but I’m very confident there are no good faith negotiations happening. Trump is openly content with driving up prices for Americans.

    This contradictory claim comes right after “informal advisor” Jared Kushner told Fox News yesterday the U.S. and Iran continue to talk. He said Trump was waiting to “make the right deal when the right deal is ready, but we are having very positive and active conversations” with Iran.

    But also, who the fuck is “we”!? Did I miss him being senate-confirmed? No…? Then he’s not a member of the government, has no security clearance, and can either say what he wants as a private citizen, or STFU. Don’t pretend you’re compelled to keep details (that you’re not supposed to be privy to) secret. I know we’re all overwhelmed and exhausted by it, but the chaos and corruption in this administration is ridiculous…

      who the fuck is “we”!?

      If it’s Kushner talking, “we” is Saudi Arabia and Israel.

    It’s really bad when even one of the supposed parties to the talks is unaware of them. To be a microphone in the towel rack trump has been ranting at, convicted it’s stonewalling him on the negotiations.

    The problem is there’s nobody in Iran in control of the country to enforce any agreement.

      Sitting here in Canada, watching Trump randomly threaten tariffs every other day whenever it strikes his fancy to demand some new concession from us despite decades of free trade agreements and frameworks in place to supposedly prevent this, thinking this isn’t actually an Iran problem.
