Trump wanted an Iran nuclear deal fast. Now he may get military confrontation

CNBC
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Oil prices spiked overnight on geopolitical concerns, as U.S. President Donald Trump struck a sharply more negative tone over the progress of nuclear talks with Iran and announced the withdrawal of some American personnel from the Middle East.

The developments mark a stark shift after several rounds of mostly indirect U.S.-Iran talks that were previously described as “positive” and “respectful.”

Both the Trump administration and Iran have expressed their desire to strike a deal. For Trump, it would deliver a political and diplomatic win that the previous Biden administration failed to achieve. For Iran, it would mean desperately needed relief from sanctions that have crippled its economy.

You mean the nuclear deal that Krasnov torpedoed during his first term? The one Obama reached with Iran? that Biden failure?

This shit from the media really makes me angry.

was one of the biggest mistakes the US ever made, IMO. It's right up there with Cuba and Vietnam. We should have let them determine their own destiny instead of reinstalling the corrupt shah. Now we get to pay for it 75 years later.
