A key obstacle to an Iran deal has been Trump’s shifting demands and frustration with the negotiation process.
According to mediators, Trump has been frustrated by his inability to speak directly with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and by Tehran’s slow pace of negotiations. They say he has repeatedly changed terms that his own team had already discussed with Iranian officials.Читать полностью…
In the first round of talks after the April cease-fire, Trump’s envoys—Steve Witkoff and JD Vance—reportedly proposed a deal under which Iran would suspend uranium enrichment for 10 years.
Iranian officials say they accepted that framework, only for Trump to later demand a 20-year suspension, helping derail the talks.
More recently, while negotiators waited for Khamenei’s response to a draft agreement, Trump reportedly added new conditions related to Iran’s nuclear program and access to frozen assets, further deepening Iranian mistrust of the negotiations.

Two months. We don't know.

We recommend that the parties cease their mutual offensives and attacks as soon as possible, return to the negotiating table, and finalize the text that they were so close to completing.
We have all witnessed and experienced that the escalation of the war, the increase in tensions, and a return to an all-out war environment benefit no one.

This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted.
I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a “HOT” ticket!
Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built.

Rifat Odeh Kassis | Christian Rights Activist | Kairos Palestine:
The Bible must not be weaponized against Palestinians.
The Bible must be read through the lens of the vulnerable - centered on justice, mercy & human dignity.
This is not a conflict between two equal parties. It is occupation. It is an apartheid. It is a genocide.
If God is a God of life, systems that destroy life are of theological concern.
Faith cannot be neutral in the face of systematic injustice. Silence amid oppression distorts the Gospel.
