Here’s Where Trump’s Iran Negotiations Stand

We can’t expect the current Iranian regime to honor any commitment. They have not in the past and will not in future. We should not release any of the encumbered assets in Qatar or other countries until all enriched uranium is delivered to US allies only, not Russia, China or North Korea and available to US for future needs. Strict control of terrorist funding. Allow Israel to finish the job in destroying Hezbollah. Provide Kurds with a protectant region in northern Iran similar to what is present in Iraq. Have Iran pay for loss equipment, lives loss and injuries incurred we’ve experienced to attack Iran. What happen to regime change as a goal? Than

They can make a deal, but the current regime needs to be overthrown and a democratically lean7 Ing regime needs to take the IRGCs place. Otherwise, the same ideologically aligned cancerous mindset remains. Ibelieve we should go ahead with the military option. They are just stringing us along.

Dale Lytle No Iran is stalling and playing for time. Any agreement is worthless as they won't honor it. President Trump is letting his ego of great negotiator get in the way of reality. Get rid of all the bad guys until the people rise up and we have a truthful leader to work with.

If the world hasn‘t learned by now that Iran NEVER honors any commitments it makes, then the world and President Trump are dumber than I thought. Without a regime change, we can never expect Iran to honor any deals.
Iran is counting on the cease fires, and the mood of the American public to keep dragging this out, while they continue to work towards protecting their enrichment facilities and development of a nuclear weapon, and we are playing right into their game plan.

Anything less than the removal of the ahyatolla from power and the disbanding of the irgc is nothing more than the worthless scribbling of a child with a crayon. If the regime is allowed to stay intact they will lie about everything they are doing to stay within the agreement. They have lied too many times before in the past to be trusted now.

A continued cease fire with Iran is NOT in American or any other countries interest, it's only building global economic distress and forestalling the inevitable military action while Iran builds strength. Iran has not held to any of the agreements up to this time, and it's foolish to think they'll start now. It's time to quit talking and take action. It seems to me that Pres Trump is doing the same thing with this that he did in his 1st term, trusting advisors, including foriegn actors, instead of his instinct, which has got to be telling him that it's time for action instead of talk.

Sadly, anything less than a victory by the US will be perceived by Iran, and the rest of the world as our failure to win. It will create more instability because bad actors won't fear us.
Worse, we know they won't keep up w/ any negotiation's rules, and we have given them the impetus to create more nuclear (or near nuclear) uranium.

Opening the Straight would definitely be a good thing, but as the others have stated, Iran has not honored a deal as far back as I can remember - I am 75 yo. They always find a way to accuse the US/Israeli coalition of violating something and us that as an excuse to start hostilities all over again. If Iran restricts areas from inspection, that should be a cause to turn up the pressure on them. We can't keep accepting them at face value. If they are speaking, we should assume they are lying about something.

Trump is in a bad spot. I'd bet a lot the anti-American progressive liberal apparatus that has taken over the Democratic party is funneling all the help and encouragement they possibly can to Iran in order for them to hold out until the mid terms. No doubt their promise is a favorable deal if they take control.....much like with Obama. Trump has to do something.... FAST!

don't trust them.

Without the sure surrender of ALL of the "dust" to US or allied countries, no. I don't trust them to let go of all of it. They may have lied about how much they have hidden, keeping back enough for them to rebuild their nuclear program.

Can you tell I don't trust them, for anything? Ever? Not without total regime change by U.S.- and Israel-friendly government.

Only if that is the case will it lower the price of oil worldwide!

Absolutely, as oil prices will surely come down, lowering America's cost of living.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the original operation entailed removing the tyrannical regime as a whole (Mullahs, Regime Members, IRGC) so that a governing body of The People of Iran would take it's place and lead the country out of the darkness of the radical Islamic ideology and build strong relations with it's neighbors, right. That has not remotely happened as we are still dealing with the same regime, just the B-team. And now Trump and Team act like it's just about the uranium. Even if we forced their hand on the uranium at the moment, do you not think they would just replenish the stockpile in the coming years?? For an operation with such a tough name (Epic Fury), it's turned into a damn joke and alludes to the fact that Trump and the Military never really had a strong thought out plan going into this engagement. Seems to be an on-going trend with the old man. I'd say "and Team" but there's not much left of the original core group and in less than a year and a half no less..

Opening the strait is in the interest of most everyone as it will drive the cost of oil down and most everything else in the long term. Of course the market is as responsible for driving up the cost of oil as it will be for lowering it. It needs to be opened with no restrictions by Iran who can’t be trusted, so shutting them down first is about the only option. The current leadership in Iran wants nuclear weapons and world dominance so trusting them for anything is probably a bad idea. And the country has many radicals that feel the same way as the IRGC, so any real peace is questionable. Regime change probably won’t change the entire culture, but coukd be a step in the right direction. Any deal should require elimination of enrichment equipment.

I don’t trust Iran to keep any of Trump’s deal expectations
