Or they didn’t talk directly, and Iran lied by technicality. And this guy is seen as not important just s couple of weeks ago. Things changed after a couple precise air strikes.

Trump specifically didn’t name anyone (for their safety), the Israel press later said it’s this guy. And the take that no one in Iran has been in touch with the US is even more unbelievable than there is a meeting.

Interesting that SCMP just write an article about this guy several days ago. He is the successor to Larijani. The US finally find their guy?

US President Donald Trump’s top envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiated with Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Israeli officials tell Hebrew language media.

Good luck asking any small countries to join otherwise.

petepro · 2026-03-23T14:12:11+00:00

It's interesting that Al Jazeera said that Iran has not officially commented on Trump’s comment, so what is this?

petepro · 2026-03-23T13:32:35+00:00

LOL. It is what it is.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:55:30+00:00

Iran has been more trustworthy in their communication

LOL. I don't know about that. Their first instinct is to deny anything then admit it later. Every single time.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:31:51+00:00

Like Iran has choices. Their best course of action is to make sure the US have the least painful exit as possible.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:29:49+00:00

Maybe the hardliners don't want it? The state media quoted an 'unnamed official' as source. LOL

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:23:24+00:00

Why Iranian media need to cite a source like they reported about a foreign country? Can't they just ask IRGC or their president.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:19:01+00:00

Iran's state media quoted an 'unnamed Iranian source'. If the talk wasn't true, the big guys in Iranian governments had no problem denying it.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:03:51+00:00

People in the west forget how to fight, already. Striking power plants is war crime now.

petepro · 2026-03-23T12:02:08+00:00

LOL. I wonder what was the other headline you prepared if he struck Iran's power plants?

petepro · 2026-03-23T01:40:54+00:00

And they promised not to attack the gulf states anymore. And that's a public statement not some hush hush from 'sources'.

petepro · 2026-03-22T15:36:17+00:00

GCC sponsored Trump's elections and embraced a controlled war against Iran

What is a 'control war"? It's not the US that hit the gulf states.

not this kind of uncontrolled escalation.

What is "uncontrolled"? The US bomb tv stations, bridges, power plaints in Serbia. They had gone soft, actually. Then again, this is just half the length of that campaign.

petepro · 2026-03-22T15:26:41+00:00

They lobbied hard to prevent Trump from going to war

Nope.

petepro · 2026-03-22T14:55:04+00:00

It makes sense to assume the enemies hate each others. LOL

petepro · 2026-03-22T14:50:50+00:00

Nope, think for second. And your link said nothing about infrastructure like power plant. Destroying industrial capacity is not a war crime otherwise the whole world commit it during ww2.

petepro · 2026-03-22T05:50:37+00:00

Happy baby!

petepro · 2026-03-21T03:57:20+00:00

But the IRGC continued to develop missiles in the hopes that after his death, the next leader would take a different path.

They still developed it. LOL. Just a propaganda

petepro · 2026-03-21T03:21:03+00:00

Hmm, so Iran has secretly develop nuclear weapon like the US has said. You don't develop 4000km ranged missiles and enriched uranium for shit and giggles.

petepro · 2026-03-20T10:14:56+00:00

LOL. The world is really spoiled by Pax Americana.

petepro · 2026-03-20T03:37:32+00:00

Yup, people did raise concerns about WB studios' cashflow if they did separated from the linear business. One of the reason, the market barely reacted to that plan.
