Trump is no longer surrounded by power, he is surrounded by failure. His isolation is political as much as physical. The price of Washington’s aggression against Iran keeps rising, while his legitimacy collapses at home and abroad. Millions are paying more to live because of reckless war games and blind loyalty to Netanyahu. Even the latest “assassination drama” failed to save him. How much more damage before Congress and the American people say enough? nytimes.com/2026/04/29/opi…

Iran, land of innovation and science.

می‌دانستید اگر کارشکنی‌های سعید جلیلی و اطرافیانش در اجرای قرارداد کرسنت نبود، امروز امارات تا حدود زیادی به ایران وابسته بود که هیچ، شهامت لفاظی و تحرکات ضد ایرانی را هم نداشت؟ اینجا توضیح دادم که «نیروی سایه» چطور این زیان تاریخی را به ایران تحمیل کرده و از محاکمه قسر در رفته:

The US decided to pick a fight with China, at a time it is already fighting wars against Russia and Iran

The war with Iran has entered its third month — and while a shaky ceasefire holds, diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran are at an impasse. What will it take to break the stalemate? Part 1 of my conversation with @newamerica CEO @SlaughterAM and former NATO supreme allied commander @stavridisj:

Thanks to Trump’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the Philippine peso has tanked. TRUMP = A MASTERCLASS IN HOW TO MAKE ENEMIES. x.com/barchart/statu…

What he wants to destroy the most?

The Iran war has triggered one of the biggest supply shocks in the oil market’s history. Why, then, does Wall Street appear so unfazed? I asked former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who has an excellent new memoir out called “Streetwise”:

۲۲:۴۳/ ۱۳ اردیبهشت اقدامات اولیه نظامی برای رفع محاصره دریایی آغاز شده است.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Alex Jones says that America's foreign policy and military policy is HELD HOSTAGE by Benjamin Netanyahu.

BREAKING: It was just revealed that Jared Kushner received 2Billion from Saudi Arabia for nothing. His firm has returned zero profits to investors so far.

Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, actually went on the BBC and questioned whether Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson!) is “creating a climate of intimidation and violence” with his rally. Astonishing. She’s a disgrace. The safety or ‘feelings’ of UK Muslims don’t count for her.

Trump’s war in Iran has reached Iraq/Vietnam era disapproval levels in RECORD TIME. THE US-ISRAELI WAR ON IRAN = RECEIVES THUMBS DOWN FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

Iran’s FM spokesperson: our proposal focuses on ending the war. Nothing more than that. My understanding is that Tehran is pushing back. Tye essence of the proposal: Stop the war then we can talk. Both the Strait and the Nuclear program are to come after the stoping of the war.

It appears that Trump has little interest in a deal that does not entail what would amount to an Iranian surrender, or at least what he can sell as such. The Israel Lobby also appears to have convinced him that time is on his side. Renewed war may be more destructive.

Iranian media IRIB just reported that it has been proven UAE fighter jets were involved in bombing Iranian facilities during the war. Interesting timing.

Iran‘s Fars News Agency now says that Al Jazeera’s recent report about #Iran’s proposed framework is “far from accurate“, adding that it actually reflects “an earlier US proposal from about 20 days ago that has since been revised multiple times.“

A few observations on what has been reported as Iran’s three-phase proposal to the United States. I have been able to confirm some elements, though not all. ⏺️Overall, the Iranians appear to be pursuing a grand bargain—without labeling it as such. This is not merely a proposal aimed at securing a ceasefire, or even a formal end to the current conflict, but rather an attempt to resolve the broader U.S.-Iran antagonism that has persisted for the past 47 years. Implicit in this approach is an expectation that both sides would also restrain their respective regional partners and proxies (Israel, Hezbollah, etc.). In many respects, framing the proposal in this way may align more effectively with Trump’s instincts and psychology. ⏺️It is somewhat surprising that the proposal appears to frontload an end to the war before addressing the nuclear issue. If the conflict is fully de-escalated at the outset, Iran risks losing a significant source of leverage over Trump. Iran’s nuclear program alone has not been sufficient to extract meaningful concessions from Washington, as was evident during the recent ceasefire period. This sequencing may reflect a concession to China and other Asian countries, which have grown increasingly frustrated with bearing the economic costs of a conflict initiated by Trump and Israel. ⏺️The call for an international mechanism to guarantee a non-return to war suggests that any final agreement would, at a minimum, need to be codified in a UN Security Council resolution, with Russia and China serving as guarantors. From Tehran’s perspective, Trump’s personal assurances carry no credibility. ⏺️There is also mention of a revised compensation clause within a new framework, indicating that the fees Tehran might seek in the Straits could be modified or reframed. One potentially more acceptable approach for a broad range of states would be to characterize such charges not as tolls, but as maintenance fees shared with Iran and Oman. This could include oversight of environmental and navigational management, particularly given the high volume of maritime traffic that typically transits the Straits. ⏺️The reported proposal for a 15-year enrichment freeze is somewhat surprising. This would make more sense if it remains tied to a needs-based enrichment framework, as outlined in the earlier Geneva proposal. Under that approach, Iran would only enrich uranium sufficient to fuel two reactors: the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) and another reactor not expected to come online for approximately seven years. Given that the TRR already possesses enough fuel for the next 5–7 years, Iran would not require additional enrichment during that period. This timeline could be extended—potentially to 15 years—either by downblending existing 60% enriched uranium and turning it into fuel pads now, or by securing external fuel supplies (from France or Russia, for example) to cover future needs. In that sense, the arrangement would technically not constitute a moratorium. ⏺️Iran’s proposal to negotiate a comprehensive regional security framework in phase three is not new. It dates back to UN Security Council Resolution 598, which ended the Iran-Iraq War. Tehran has pursued such an arrangement for decades. The United States should view this constructively: any framework that enables a reduction of U.S. military presence while encouraging regional actors to assume greater responsibility for their own security aligns with the stated objectives of the Trump administration. ⏺️What remains unclear in the reporting is the scope of sanctions relief Iran would seek in return. If Tehran is indeed aiming for a grand bargain, it will likely expect the lifting of all sanctions—primary and secondary U.S. sanctions, as well as UN-imposed measures. Let's see what happens.

مذاکرات ابعاد پیدا و پنهانی دارد؛ ابعاد پیدا آن‌چیزی است که در رسانه‌ها متناسب با اهداف و ملاحظات طرفین درز پیدا می‌کند و ابعاد پنهان آن‌چیزی است که فاش نمی‌شود و دو طرف بر روی عدم افشا آن تا زمان مشخصی توافق دارند. گاهی اوقات هم یکی از طرفین هیچ تمایلی برای افشای بخشی از ابعاد پنهان در هیچ زمانی ندارد و طرف دیگر عامدانه بخشی یا همه‌ آن را منتشر می‌کند! انتشار جزئیات طرح‌های مذاکراتی را باید در این چارچوب ارزیابی کرد؛ ابعاد پیدا و کمی پنهان مذاکرات جاری! ضمن اینکه مذاکرات لزوما معطوف و متمرکز بر طرح‌های مذاکراتی نیست!

If Iran does not accept the U.S conditions for the negotiations untill Tuesday, 8:00 P.M Estern Time, the White House will release the second episode of the "WINNING" clip😉.
