Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

You actually haven't tackled any issues.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

any of these significant issues, which are barriers to the end of this war.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

I was listening to Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson this morning in an interview with Glenn Deason, and he made what I thought was a really important point.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

He's like, look, the heart of diplomacy is meeting face to face and working things out.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

even more important when you have two parties that have negative trust.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Why?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Because we've used diplomacy as a feint, as a ruse to bomb and attack this country now on multiple occasions.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

The fact of the matter is that since those initial talks in Pakistan, there have not been any

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

any face-to-face meetings between anyone in Iran and anyone in the U.S.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

So do you really think we're close to ironing out a deal when no one from our side has even spoken directly to anyone from their side?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

And now...

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

We've gone back to bombing and the Israelis who do not want any sort of a deal have been given the green light to escalate in Lebanon.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

And now and we can put this element up on the screen as well.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

This is a Trump truth, social nature saga, which element this is.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

But in any case, Trump is now saying that we have to we want the Gulf countries.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Yes.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

to join the Abraham Accords as part of this comprehensive deal.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

So now you're trying to add another complicating factor into this.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

And of course, these Gulf countries are rightly saying, well, hey, part of the whole idea of normalizing relations with Israel is that you would have some sort of Palestinian state or at least a credible path to that Palestinian state.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

And of course, we are so far from that that it is an absolute joke.
