…..a path may still be found. Hmmmm I guess that settles the question of whether Trump was lying about negotiations

It is very funny. It is how it matters so much to place a framework on anything as liberals are eager to frame anything that is going to happen as confirming their claims.

Diplomacy encompasses more than negotiation, many relations are included beside negotiation.

Iran has stated it: they have exchanged papers etc with the US but it does not mean they are' negotiating.

Trump has clearly lied on the ongoing process as he kept claiming negotiations were going very well, that they were close to an end, which they are not.

Iran has kept acting on the diplomatic front: they way they control the re opening of the strait is a diplomatic act.

A possibility is that Trump is going to escalate military action and this claim of successful negotiations is one way to sell the war at home. Iran will have been offered a fair and square peace plan, Iran will have rejected, the US will be coerced to escalate.

Of course, Iran may have perceived the trap and keep telling no negotiations are being held to avoid validating the US narration. Iran has already been bitten when the US broke a negotiation process (they may have acted out of treachery, disguising their war intents under promising negotiations)

Time will tell. Trump may deliver the narration that the US must increase the military pressure as Iran has not accepted a great, beautiful peace plan soon enough.

Yeah .... it's laughable

The Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/25/iran-gives-negative-response-to-us-ceasefire-plan-amid-push-for-talks?

Reuters and The Guardian both confirm the same thing:

- A US proposal was sent

- Iran rejected it

- Communication is happening via intermediaries

- Iran says no negotiations are taking place

So yes diplomacy, not negotiations.

Sending proposals and rejecting them is not the same as sitting down and negotiating a deal.

Just keeping it real, Moz

Trump is a compulsive liar.

The discussions have just started this week. Anything before that was standard Trump lies.Just Trump taking a daily dump on Truth Social.

Trump even claims that Iran gave him a very expensive present, which no one in the White House appears to be aware of - mostly because that never happened.

Hitler was also like Trump - a serial liar.

"- A US proposal was sent

- Iran rejected it

- Communication is happening via intermediaries

- Iran says no negotiations are taking place

So yes diplomacy, not negotiations.

Sending proposals and rejecting them is not the same as sitting down and negotiating a deal."

It's part of the process.

Part of the process or not (it is not), Trump's claims about well advanced negotiations going very well etc are invalidated.

Liberals through Trump get rid of diplomacy, Iran still plays the diplomatic game, liberals no longer. What is going on right now is very good: remember, peeps, liberalism is a de-civilisation process.

Timeline:

1. Trump claims negotiations have been happening
2. Trump claims Iran gave him a present as goodwill (no one backs this up
3. Trump makes more rants on Truth Social about negotiations
4. Iran deny negations
5. Trump sends a 25-point peace plan (the start of negotiations). E.g. speaking directly to Iran.
6. Iran rejects the peace plan.
7. Iran offers a new peace plan. America rejects
8. Any form of Negotiation fails, neither party will accept either peace plan (like Ukraine)
9. Trump is preparing for a land invasion.

So the negotiations only started long after Trump claimed there were negotiations.

The art of the deal. Make up lies and then claim victory.

Offer a peace plan that no country would accept. Then send in Americans to die, and create problems for future generations. The Middle East will hate Americans even more.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Middle East will continue to be attacked, destroying their trade, and potentially putting the global economy into recession.

Americas track record is'nt great if that is any indicator of how the future will pan out

After losing in Vietnam to rice farmers

After losing in Afghanistan to goat herders

After losing in Somalia

You have to ask have they really got the stomach for another war..

Looking like another humiliating defeat -will they ever learn

That said Israel struck first and the USA were bounced into this war so this mess not entirely their doing and you could argue they were cleverly manipulated by Israel were they not?

Er wrong. America is not good at occupation, which comes after defeating the enemy, which happened in Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan and Germany and Japan. But once that happens the country doesn’t tolerate further loss of life very well and it’s culture doesn’t accept the repression required to keep a defeated country quiescent.

Whatever negotiations are happening have been done through mediators up until now. Bozo is lying as usual when he says he's talking to the Iranians.

Diplomacy never started. It was a sudden invasion, starting with a school and other civilian targets, in addition to other military targets.

The Trumpanzee species agreed this was making America Great Again.

Grrr Orange man bad! Grrrr!!!

Trump will not declare the names of the Iranian negotiating delegation and Iran has declared that there is no ceasefire. To seal the matter Iran has rejected in total American demands and instead has made its own demands. If by chance any of this is confusing, what is not confusing is that Iran is in control of the Strait of Hormuz and by so doing is crippling the economies of US allies. It makes a mockery of Trump's strategy and plans if ever there was a half decent one to start off with.

Kinda settles the debate Hmmmm?

"Iran is in control of the Strait of Hormuz "

For how much longer?

"Trump even claims that Iran gave him a very expensive present, which no one in the White House appears to be aware of - mostly because that never happened.

Hitler was also like Trump - a serial liar"

You guys just swallow anything that will make Trump look bad.... and I mean absolutely anything at all

Iran originally recently gifted the USA 8 boats / ships of oil ..... and then later increased it to 10

Iran wanted to show the US that they were serious about talks and offered the oil for free.

This was the gift that Trump was referrring to, and Trump even asked his special envoy Steve Witkoff if he could publicly announce what this gift from Iran was at their recent cabinet meeting because he was slightly concerned that releasing that information could affect the ongoing negotitations with Jared Kushner.

That is why not many in the White House know about this "Gift" ... they kept it under wraps until Trump announced what it was.

You guys have TDS bad...... real bad.

The tankers were all Pakistan flagged. How is that a gift to the USA?

From Pakistan with love... There must have been quite the fanfare when they arrived at a U.S. harbor.

The tankers were all Pakistan flagged. How is that a gift to the USA?

Correct, from what I saw, facilitated by Pakistan

From Pakistan with love...

Yes well, in case you did not know, Pakistan are acting as mediators between Iran and the USA, and have been doing so for a while already....so they will be facilitating a lot more than ships or boats of oil

Well now it seems like Trump, who received a gift of 10 oil tankers from Iran has donated his present to Pakistan.

Thank you Santa Donnie dat's mighty generous.

The question was never about where the gift came from, it was that there was a gift offered by Iran to Trump

I don't care if that gift came from Italy, via Iran or Pakistan

A gesture was made from Iran to Trump... and that was the gift he was referring to that people on here said he was lying about and did not exist

Diplomacy never started. It was a sudden invasion, starting with a school and other civilian targets, in addition to other military targets.

Do you ever know what the hell is \going on in the world - proven by shit you wrote on site, First of all there never was an invasion of Iran - so shit spreading started off ith a lie based on idiocy by a superidiot..

It is indeed rare where the Heads of State takes direct part in negotiaions and what comes out of any such cases as priven by the emeting of Trump and Putin last year are generally not in the form of a real peace process. Negotiations are left to appointed mediators and in the main was successful under Trump and non-existent under Autopen Biden. The closest politican invovled in negotiations aaare normally the Secetary of State,

Negotiators report in the first instance to the Secretaery of State and through him to the President.

In the ME in negotiations between the Terrorist subsidiaries of Iran (Hamas and Hezbollah) - the process was undertaken in the initial stage between the UAE, and aftewrds involved Egypt and Turkey as well, In the end the final decision as to ny agreement rest wih the President who has to submit treaties to Congress for approval.

Now back to the Iran case - the mediator dealing with Iran was always the UAE - but Iran's attacks on UAE countries bedevevilled the situation. So Pakistan offered to serve as mediator to start off negotiations - which is aprticularly difficult since nobody nows who is really in charge in Iran. Pakistan apparently is dealing wth whom they believe will have the clout to make decisions to be imlmented in the case of an agremment.

So please think Befofre you come up wit h idiocy on site. In your ase everybody knows about your BS already.

Iran has set up a waterside stall whereby prime ministers and tanker owners can bargain with the Iranian navy over the toll they are willing to pay for their tankers to be given “free passage”. Iran plans to turn the strait into a money spinner, just as Egypt charges for access to the Suez canal. By some calculations, given the massive scale of the traffic that passes through the strait each year, Iran could raise $80bn a year. If a law currently being rushed through the Iranian parliament passes, tankers carrying oil from favoured non-hostile nations such as India, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea and China will be waved through or offered cheaper rates.

Little wonder Trump is thrashing around.
