That didn’t take long

@Nonilex Welp…

(That sounded too flippant but I’m having trouble processing all of this incessant bombing that some folks deem imperative over peaceful and equitable solutions.)

@Nonilex The moment he made that post the stock market surged & the price for a barrel of oil dropped by about $50.

I don't support Iran because of their historical tmnt of their citizens, particularly women & gay people, but Trump may have met his match. He's finally come up against a nation's leader who doesn't believe or fall for his bullshit. They know better than to trust anything he says.

Trump aside, a cease fire that includes Israel wasn't even mentioned. I give it less than a week.

@Nonilex

He really was in full panic mode when he wrote that "ceasefire", I think.

Oddly, with most people, if they panic they don't act well, but with Trump it seems the only moment you can catch him at some tiny bit of sanity, is exactly when he IS actually panicking and cutting through his normal six concentric layers of criming and grifting.

When #Trump announced a 2-week #ceasefire with #Iran yesterday, he said the #US had received a 10-point peace proposal that he believed was a “workable basis on which to negotiate.”

But when Iran later released a 10-point proposal to reporters, it was different from the one to which Trump was referring, a White House official told CNN today.

The extent & nature of the differences was not immediately clear. The White House official did not elaborate.

#Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration over what #Iran was saying publicly about the #ceasefire deal. Last night, he derided a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council that claimed victory in the deal as a “FRAUD” & attacked CNN for reporting on it. Today, he suggested on Truth Social that some of the agreements circulating publicly were not being discussed behind closed doors.

“Numerous Agreements, Lists, & Letters are being sent out by people that have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S.A. / Iran Negotiation, in many cases, they are total Fraudsters, Charlatans, & WORSE … There is only one group of meaningful ‘POINTS’ that are acceptable to the United States, & we will be discussing them behind closed doors during these Negotiations. These are the POINTS that are the basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE…,” #Trump angrily posted.

Many people seem to believe, that in order to get something from Trump, you have to butter him up and carry beads and mirrors to him.

And this is true, if you want to be his servant.

But if you want something real from him, something productive, then you must put him against the wall and MAKE.HIM.PANIC.

China uses the rare earths. Iran uses the Hormuz strait. They both understand what you must do.

@Nonilex with friends like that you don’t need enemies

[jhooper@techhub.social]

@Nonilex Honestly there's a lot about Iran I don't like, but they have proven to be a lot more honest and trustworthy on international politics than our current regime.

@Nonilex King Tyrinus gets cranky when he can’t control the narrative.

[killick@dmv.community]

@Nonilex

Wow, the Republican president sure doesn't like it when someone else is lying. Or is he lying about the other side lying?

It's really his fault that when I hear two differing accounts, that I assume his account is a lie. #USpol

[nonilex@masto.ai]

The #Iran SNSC statement that first drew #Trump’s ire was…from Iranian ofcls & reported on by multiple Iranian state media outlets. It laid out key parts of the Tehran’s 10-pt plan. Those included regulating passage through the #StraitOfHormuz; terminating attacks on #Iran & its regional proxy forces; the withdrawal of #US forces from the region; compensation to Iran; lifting of international #sanctions & unfreezing of assets; & a binding #UN resolution to secure any ultimate peace deal.

[nonilex@masto.ai]

Some versions of the security council’s statement that were widely distributed by Iranian state media in both Farsi & in English also included a claim by #Iran of a right to #nuclear enrichment.

There's quite a lot not to like about the Iranian regime, like this - https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-hangs-another-young-man-as-regime-steps-up-executions-of-protesters-under-cover-of-war/
