What led to the failure of Trump's peace talks in Switzerland?
Donald Trump's plan regarding the peace talks in Switzerland utterly failed. You see from the very beginning, Donald Trump actually worked passive-aggressively to try to blow up the peace talks in Switzerland between the United States and Iran, which were being mediated by Pakistan and Qatar. So, Donald Trump started posting early in the morning on social media attacks directed at Iran. And then again, passive-aggressively, Donald Trump calls up state regime media, which calls itself FOX, and starts to say things like, we're going to kill the Iranian negotiators, the United States will take over the Strait of Hormuz, donald trump wanted to act like a tough guy and he sent jd vance out there and i think donald trump's plan was just blow up these peace talks but not have the courage to just affirmatively say the peace talks are off so that's how donald trump was behaving of course iran responded by
How did Trump attempt to sabotage the negotiations with Iran?
temporarily suspending the negotiations in Lucerne, Switzerland. The Iranian delegation issued a protest to the mediators, Pakistan and Qatar. Clearly, when you can visually see the mediators from Pakistan and from Qatar, they were like livid and pissed that Donald Trump was behaving in this way as they were trying to advance peace talks. But ultimately, Iran went in these negotiations with a plan really unlike the United States, which kind of went there haphazardly. One of the key things Iran wanted to make sure was implemented is the official waivers to all of the sanctions that are against Iran and that have been placed Iran over the last several decades. I think Iran realizes that given the fact that Donald Trump is a malignant narcissistic psychopath and Netanyahu bootlicker, that Donald Trump likely won't be able to comply, nor can he
ever comply with deal terms, but specifically comply with the terms of this MOU. But I think Iran's saying, while the United States is not in compliance, let's still work to get sanctions removed, to get the oil out of Karg Island, which has been sitting here. Iran's been able to get out around 30 million barrels of oil already through the Strait of Hormuz. Since part of the MOU, the U.S. agreed to remove the blockade. So you see Iranian ship after Iranian ship leaving Karg and getting out there. So Iran's making a lot of money right now. And when the U.S. remains in violation of the MOU, by way of example, Netanyahu continuing to escalate in Lebanon under the pretense of, OK, we're going after Hezbollah, but they're killing Iranians.
hundreds and even thousands of innocent people in Lebanon as well that we've been covering here in detail, Iran can say, all right, our ships get to go out, let's get Iranian 30 billion barrels of oil, remove sanctions against us, but United States, you still need to clear clause one or article one of this memorandum of understanding, which is get Israel to stop invading Lebanon, because as long as you're in violation of article one, We're not gonna open up the Strait of Hormuz and we're gonna keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. And as Donald Trump's been saying in the G7, the US is days away, weeks at most, but likely days away from being in an economic Great Depression and hitting tank bottom.
So Iran knows how desperate the US, so Iran's like, look, Donald Trump may be trying to blow this thing up, but let's utilize this negotiation for our benefit. We already have this MOU, which clearly favors Iran, but let's make sure we can implement at least the sanctions waiver part while we know the U.S. isn't going to make it to the 60 days. I think that's what Iran's negotiating posture And then you have Iran's foreign minister, Araghchi, kind of admitting as much. And also, I think Iran showing itself on the world stage the way it did on Sunday, where it refused to be photographed with J.D. Vance. When J.D. Vance walked in the room after Donald Trump made these threats against Iran, Iran made J.D.
Vance and the United States delegation wait in the room first for Iran to show up. Then Iran kind of in a uniform way walked out and J.D.
