Ben Ferguson

Welcome back.

It is the Ben Ferguson show.

It is nice to have you with us.

Donald Trump has come out talking about who he's talking to in Iran, the new regime there in place.

And the president also making it very clear if they do not agree with the negotiations with America, we will blow up their power infrastructure easily.

They better make a deal.

President Trump suggesting in a message on Monday morning that a new and more reasonable regime has taken over Iran and is talking with Washington, D.C.

He warned yet again he is willing to obliterate Iran's energy infrastructure.

His exact words, if the talks do not lead to a durable agreement.

Trump made the declaration, a message on his website, True Social.

What remains of the Iranian government after the elimination of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly denied Trump's claim that it is in conversations with the American government, while also stating that it has responded to America's proposals, which would be impossible without a conversation.

President Trump smiling through that in a statement saying that not only is America pursuing regime change in Iran, but the regime change has already happened, saying the United States of America is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran.

He followed up that comment with a threat.

Great progress has been made, but if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells, and Karg Island.

And possibly all desalination plants, which we have purposely not yet touched, quote unquote.

The president went on to say this will be in retribution for our many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed over the regime's 47 year reign of terror.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Now, President Trump is seriously weighing also a military operation, we're being told, to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium from Iran.

And while the Iranian government has not responded directly to Trump's statement at press time, the foreign ministry spokesman confirmed on Monday that Iran had received and was contemplating negotiation messages from the United States.

At the same time, that individual also disparaged the proposals as being unrealistic, illogical and excessive.
