@23willdoe @Osint613 Why can’t these things be done over video call? Face to face builds trust but that ship already sailed two negotiations ago.

@DukeOfLondonIII @Osint613 It was like a meeting that could've been an email

We await for U.S. Vice President JD Vance to deliver remarks in Islamabad, Pakistan shortly.

@23willdoe @Osint613 I’m surprised it wasn’t a tweet lol

@Osint613 Well that went about as good as I thought it would.

@WarMonitor3 That was very short - Vance confirmed no deal has been reached and they are going back home

US intelligence suggests China may have already given Iran manpads and is planning to send more-NYT

@Osint613 That was very short - he confirmed no deal has been reached and they are going back home

@Osint613 Vance: No deal

@WarMonitor3 Vance: No Deal

@MericaCulture Until it became a vassal for Israel.

The USA is the greatest country in the world. And it's not even close 🇺🇸

You’re not going to please everyone with any design you pick. But at least this one follows a traditional architectural style and is leagues better than modern government buildings.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran's Supreme Leader is running a country at war from a hospital bed with a disfigured face and a missing leg... Reuters published the most detailed account yet of Mojtaba Khamenei's condition. Three sources close to his inner circle say the 56-year-old suffered severe facial disfigurement and significant leg injuries from the airstrike that killed his father on day one. U.S. intelligence believes he lost a leg entirely. His wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law were killed in the same strike. No photo, video, or audio recording of him has been released since February 28th. He communicates through written statements read by TV anchors and audio conferences with senior officials. "Where is Mojtaba?" memes circulate on Iranian social media whenever the internet works. And yet the country hasn't collapsed. The regime consolidated. The IRGC gained power. The Strait was closed. The war was fought to a ceasefire. And right now in Islamabad, negotiators he authorized are sitting across from the U.S. Vice President. The real question isn't whether Khamenei can govern from a hospital room. He clearly can, at least for now. The question is what kind of leader emerges once he heals. A man who lost his father, his family members, and possibly his face to American and Israeli bombs on the same night doesn't typically become more moderate. Source: Reuters

@Osint613 Someday Pakistan will just share a nuke or two with Iran and have made all of this pointless. Not sure which one hates Israel more. The Pakistani defence minister two days ago:

Regarding negotiations with Iran, a senior White House official told the vice president’s press pool: “15 hours and counting!” Faytuks Network reports.

@WarMonitor3 Someday Pakistan will just share a nuke or two with Iran and have made all of this pointless. Not sure which one hates Israel more. The Pakistani defence minister two days ago:

@EaracheEye @WarMonitor3 I mean they used $4million Patriot missiles to shoot down Shaheds & refused Ukraines proposal 7 months ago to use the $1000 interceptor which they’ve used against Shaheds themselves. The Arabs bought it directly from Ukraine instead as Trump’s ego rejected them. Incompetent.

@WarMonitor3 not surprising, but just lovely. i doubt the least qualified sec def of all time considered this might happen.

@Antirugpulls @WarMonitor3 Careful, they don’t always sense sarcasm.

@WarMonitor3 The only sane thing to do after reading this is invading Greenland. Or promoting extreme right leaders in Europe. That'll teach China.

@FLWrightA @Osint613 False equivalencies, Hitler managed to kill 11/17million people. I’m not defending them, they need to go, but if we are going to be factual then Israel has killed more people overall thus far than Iran has, no matter the causation.

@Osint613 No point in negotiating anything but the surrender of the criminal Mullah regime - just as there'd have been no point in negotiating anything in 1945 with Hitler that would've kept him in power.

UPDATE 🔴 Significant gaps remain between the U.S. and Iranian negotiating teams.

@DanielLMcAdams The man who couldn’t win an asymmetric war against Iran without needing to send the VP to Pakistan of all places to negotiate through mediation and entertain Iranian counter points thinks he can fight an adversary 40x the strength of Iran. He also promised no more wars 😆

Dude just loses a war to Iran...picks a fight with China. He's nuts.

@Osint613 He said all of that yet he still had to send his vice president to Pakistan (fml) to negotiate with them and entertain their counter points? The geopolitical mess he has created? He doesn’t care.

Trump: "They have no navy. They have no radar. They have no air force. Their leaders are all dead. Khamenei is gone. For many years he ruled; he's gone. With all of that, let's see what happens, but from my standpoint, I don't care."

@RevokeCtznship @Osint613 And they will destroy all the gulf refineries in the gulf in retribution. What will you do then?

@Osint613 Time to annihilate Iranian oil and gas industry. Anything less leaves the regime in charge and with money to buy weapons. Without oil and gas it will also be irrelevant to China and India. Time for Israel to do the job. Let the chips fall where they may.

Reporter: Iran is not listening to your threats about opening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump: How do you know that? Reporter: Because it’s still blocked. Are they reopening it? Trump: Why do you say that? You don’t know anything.

@TY203922055166 @WarMonitor3 Your country has not learned its lesson in 250yrs that destroying entire nations does not remove ideology, it feeds it. You have been at war for 230yrs & have still not learnt anything. We joined ur ME wars for 20yrs just to give birth to ISIS in Iraq & gave Afg back to Taliban.

@TY203922055166 @WarMonitor3 What you funded and gave credence to in the 1980’s to use against the soviets ultimately turned on you and by extension the rest of the civilised world. This is no different now to Trump starting a war, facing a strategic defeat in SOH & forcing others to remedy his incompetency

Iran has claimed the Strait Of Hormuz and is threatening any ship that tries to cross without its express perspective.
