Tehran skeptical of president’s offer – and troop deployments for potential ground operations – suggest claim of imminent end to war not credible
Somewhere between the strait of Hormuz and the screens of Bloomberg terminals around the world, the standard laws of cause and effect appear to have been suspended for Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
Trump this week soft-launched his latest Iran peace talks – which he has said must be accepted or “we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out” – with few details or proof that anyone in the Iranian regime was willing to listen to him. The ultimatum was described as “maximalist” by Iran and quickly derided as a non-starter by analysts and former government officials.
Iran’s response to the 15-point plan appeared to be a resounding no, demanding instead that Tehran be given sovereignty over the strait of Hormuz, in effect confirming its control – or at least veto power – over the world energy trade.



War is peace.
What baffles me is there were a few alleged “leftists” I saw who said Palestine would be better under Try.p because “the genocide didn’t happen under his term”.
Not only has the genocide been ongoing since the late 1940s, but Trump has handled the entirety of the Middle-East worse than Kamala or Biden ever did.
He’s also committed more acts of cruelty, mass murder and genocide than occurred under Biden/Kamala, and is even actively building concentration camps on US soil to commit genocide here.
A lot of those I believe were bots. A lot. However there were a ton of people that were solely focused on Palestine. You’re 100% correct in your assessment.
Trump is orders of magnitude worse than anyone we’ve ever had lead our country.
To this day you’ll have dipshits (such as but not limited to the .ml tankies) gleefully proclaim they chose the “anti-genocide” option of refusing to vote for Kamala.
And they rage, cope and evade any accountability when you bring up the fact that a lack of participation always favors the GOP, and Trump is objectively orders of magnitude more genocidal than most prior presidents, or Kamala ever was.
These assholes will tell everyone to sit out the next elections like they were screaming from the rooftops to do in 2024. Theyre too narcissistic to understand the world blames them for Trump too.
