because this was in the end of February, that mediator, the Oman foreign minister, went on CBS, went on TV, and then said, we have a deal, basically.

We feel really good about this deal.

Then Trump and Netanyahu hit Iran anyway.

So Iran already feels pretty uneasy about dealing with mediators and being a part.

And then Donald Trump's like, Iran gave us a request.

And Iran is saying nothing.

The reason that you would even have a mediator say this publicly, just so you know, is sending a signal back to Trump, you're gonna make this very difficult on us to be able to even have mediation and resolve this when you just go and you say this deranged stuff.

Because one of the things that Iran feels is that Trump is doing all of this in order to figure out who they should kill or to buy more time for the ground invasion.

And whether that's the plan or not the plan,

The last time Donald Trump had a negotiation, that's what he keeps on doing.

So they're like, why would we do this at all?

Why would we even do this?

So here's some of the latest news as well.

And this is from Iran State Regime Media Fars News Agency.

Iran is signaling, quote, special and unprecedented plans for the UAE and Bahrain.

Iran's IRGC-linked Fars news agency, citing an informed military source, reports Tehran has prepared, quote, special and unprecedented measures against the UAE and Bahrain in the event of any ground attack on Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf.

The warning follows U.S.

threats of a ground operation and alleged support from Gulf states, including hosting bases and providing infrastructure and advanced technologies.

Tehran said any response would be very damaging and instructive.

And specifically, an infographic that's been circulating on Iranian media outlines the key energy infrastructure across UAE, including power stations, nuclear facilities, and solar hubs as potential targets in Dubai, in Abu Dhabi.
