"Iran says no new nuclear proposal, disputing Trump: ‘Confusing and contradictory’ messaging"

Per Bloomberg:
"Iran’s Khamenei Brands Trump a Liar in Escalation of Rhetoric"
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused US President Donald Trump of dishonesty and power abuse, marking the latest rhetorical flare-up between Tehran and the US.
“Trump said he wants to use power for peace; he lied,” Khamenei said in remarks aired Saturday on Iranian state television. “When have they ever used power to create peace?”
Khamenei’s remarks followed Trump’s tour this week of the Middle East, which included stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Speaking at an investment forum in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump accused the Islamic Republic’s leadership of corruption and “stealing their people’s wealth” to fund terrorism.
“Some of the remarks made during the US president’s trip to the region aren’t even worth responding to,” Khamenei said. “The level of the statements is so low that they are a source of shame for the speaker and a source of shame for the American people.”

while most the U.S. media remains focused on trying to erase the accomplishments of the Biden Administration.

The US had a nuclear deal with Iran until Trump nixed it. Guess he was hoping we’d all forget. If his mouth is moving he is lying!

(19,204 posts)And then it expires, along with UNSCR 2231.
The agreement included a "snapback" mechanism, allowing UN member states to reinstate sanctions if Iran violates the agreement. The ability to trigger the "snapback" also expires in October 2025.
The agreement was signed by Iran and the P5+1.
The UK, France and Germany have indicated that they believe Iran has violated the agreement numerous times, so it's likely that sanctions will be extended with or without the US.

(2,331 posts)I remember when Netenyahu got up at the UN in 2012 and said Iran was about to cross the red line of getting a nuke and the right in this country ran with it. The Iran nuclear deal was a terrible deal according to them.
Mosby
(19,204 posts)And he was right.
The breakout time for an Iranian nuke is 0-12 months based on intelligence right now.
Get ready for a nuclear Iran.
He says a lot of shit. Ninety-nine percent lies.
