Clutching at Straws:
Blockading Hormuz - which is not blocked - to help global economy.
Another "Art of the Deal" Masterstroke?
The worst gamblers don't know when to leave a losing table.

Want to know why negotiations did not succeed?
JD Vance: "they have chosen not to accept our terms."
Bingo.
No negotiations – at least with Iran – will succeed based on "our/your terms."
The US must learn: you can't dictate terms to Iran.
It's not too late to learn. Yet.
English
Iran showed seriousness by sending its most authoritative & capable team to Islamabad despite repeated US betrayals.
Let’s hope that beyond the bluster, Trump sees the only way out of his self-made quagmire:
Stop heeding THE WANTED & accomplices.
Strike a deal while he still can.
English
PM Shehbaz Sharif made it explicit that Lebanon & others are included:
Iran and the U.S. "along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including LEBANON and elsewhere"
Yet war crimes in Lebanon & the Persian Gulf deliberately try to reignite the war.
Javad Zarif@JZarif
The wanted Israeli war criminal and his accomplice in the Persian Gulf are terrified of peace. They blackmailed and bribed the US, dragging it into this war, and are now desperately sabotaging the ceasefire, pulling the world back into the abyss. Stop them before they succeed!

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

Aggressors keep targeting infrastructure & ignorantly boast "a whole civilization will die."
UN Security Council is numb. Yet some shamelessly tried & failed to pass aggressors' resolution.
Those SC members who supported it are enablers of WAR CRIMES & liable as accomplices.
English
Latest addition to US and Israel’s litany of war crimes: bombing a Jewish temple in Tehran today.
A synagogue.
Prayer books and Torah shredded.
Let that sink in.
Wake up, world: Who is the real threat to Judaism?
English
Threats, war crimes, profanity and vile insults = sheer desperation.
For millennia, Iranians have stood united against arrogant aggressors – even with personal rifles.
Iran’s demands are just and reasonable. Respect them.
Cut your losses while you can.

Iran will defend itself, but heed this warning for your own good:
This aggression began with a war crime: targeting & murdering 170 schoolchildren.
Yesterday, in desperate and vulgar outburst, Trump openly threatened further war crimes.
Complicity = int'l criminal responsibility.
Reza Nasri@RezaNasri1
Legal Warning to All States Hosting US Bases (Europe & GCC): All countries that allow their territories, or US military bases located therein, to be used to carry out Trump's illegal orders to commit war crimes against Iran will be complicit in the crime under international law. European leaders whose States are Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court face personal criminal liability. Article 25(3)(c) of the Rome Statute establishes individual responsibility for those who, “[f]or the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aid, abet or otherwise assist in its commission or its attempted commission, including the provision of the means for its commission.” Official capacity provides no immunity (Article 27). They have been clearly and publicly alerted to Trump’s plan to commit war crimes, leaving them no excuse for failing to take preventive measures. All countries hosting US bases must publicly declare, beforep any operation begins, that they will not allow their airspace, territorial waters, or sovereign territory to be used in the commission of war crimes by the United States. @EmmanuelMacron @Keir_Starmer @vonderleyen @GiorgiaMeloni @MohamedBinZayed @TamimBinHamad @KingSalman @bundeskanzler @kajakallas @antonioguterres @KarimKhanQC

Nothing screams "winning" quite like vulgarity.
Campaign on America First, then, blackmailed by a wanted criminal, pivot to Israel First.
Targeting civilian infrastructure isn’t strength.
It’s a desperate WAR CRIME, plunging the world into the Stone Age.
Oh, and Happy Easter.
English
My brave daughter,
I am proud of you, more than words can carry.
You, and all those standing beside you in the streets across Iran, have already secured the defeat of aggression.
Godspeed.

As an Iranian, outraged by Donald Trump’s reckless aggression & crude insults, yet proud of our armed forces & resilient people, I am torn about publishing this peace-plan in Foreign Affairs. Yet I'm convinced that war must end on terms consistent with Iran’s national interests.
English
Iran stood at the heart of the cradle of civilization while your ancestors in Europe (as the U.S. wasn’t even on the map) were still in the Stone Age—painting faces & swinging clubs. We taught order, law and statecraft. Pity none of it reached some arrogant, ignorant descendants.
English
Valiant Iranians buried his “3-day unconditional surrender” delusion. This explains the insult that says more about the speaker: Iran had a GREAT civilization during the “stone age”—where he & his Sec of War belong. 22 minutes of noise, 0 substance. Just enough time to cash in ⬇️
English
Posted on 2/28 that Iran has outlived aggressors & will defeat this one too
A month of heroic resistance against unrelenting US/Israel aggression has proven it again
More war crimes or fantasy demands won't win this war
Cut your losses & stop following a desperate war criminal.
Javad Zarif@JZarif
US & Israel started this war of choice, proving once again that for them PEACE is "existential threat". It's the 3rd time negotiated solutions are torpedoed to serve Netanyahu. Mark my word: Iran has outlived each & every aggressor over millennia. It won't be different this time
English
After a month of war crimes, today Tofigh Daru Research & Engineering Company was targeted.
The desperate aggressors—having failed to realize their diabolical delusions—have now deliberately struck a producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including cancer medicine.
