And you also bet that no one's going to believe them because they're the Iranian regime.

So if they contradict you, then who cares?

And so part of this, I think, is to just say like, yeah, we've dominated them so severely.

that they are just begging for a deal and things are going well while, like you said, communicating, I guess, to Iran that you actually do want some negotiations.

And we should just know, like, yeah, could there be secret negotiations happening here and there?

Like, maybe, but...

You know, Pakistan has offered to host the negotiations.

They already hosted some countries.

The United States and Iran were not there.

No representatives were there.

The Iranian foreign ministry said today that, like, there's been no talks directly with the United States since the 28th, since February 28th, and that there won't be any talks until the military campaign ends.

Also, The New York Times said this piece, too, that it is unclear who's in charge.

And this is, like, according to Western and American intelligence officials.

And so they don't really know who they're negotiating with or who has the authority to make decisions in Iran right now, though I noticed this from intelligence officials in the piece too.

It says, what's more, officials say hardliners within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have become more influential, exerting more power than the religious leadership nominally in charge.

So not a great sign that the IRGC, who are the most hardline hardliners in the whole country, are the ones in charge right now.

Yeah.

But like that's a good example of what Iran has asked for and what the United States wants in their 15 fucking point plan.

They're so far they're not even negotiating over the same thing.

Like Iran's like, yeah, we don't we don't want any more.
