larry johnson says trump isn't trying to make any iran deal and its obvious. he never did. he wants to destroy iran the same way bibi does;

 

Trump and his national security sycophants continue to live in a dream world when it comes to negotiating with Iran. A few days ago hearts in DC were palpitating with hopes that a deal was at hand, but those beating hearts were stilled following Trump’s Friday afternoon meeting with his national security team. Both the NY Times and Axios are out on Saturday with reports that, if true, means there is no diplomatic, negotiated settlement in sight.

Both the NY Times and Axios agree that Trump is hardening his position and that Iran’s responses have been unsatisfactory to the US. They highlight the central issues: reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and the threat of renewed strikes. Both note that talks remain active but fragile. However, they are not entirely en sync.

Axios presents the story in its signature concise, insider-focused style, heavily relying on Trump’s own words and senior U.S. officials. In mid-May, Axios reported Trump telling the outlet directly that “the clock is ticking” for Iran. He warned that if Tehran does not return with a significantly better offer, “they are going to get hit much harder” and “they better get moving fast or they are not gonna have anything left.”

Axios’ coverage stresses Trump’s frustration with Iran’s latest counter-proposal, which US officials described as “insufficient,” particularly on the nuclear program. Axios highlights the binary choice Trump is presenting: make real concessions or face resumed military action (“negotiations through bombs”). Axios portrays Trump as impatient but still preferring a deal on his terms, while noting that domestic pressures like inflation and high energy prices add urgency to getting a deal done.........more...........
