Iran Negotiations: Iran tries to play President Trump for a fool

NYPost Editorial: Iran’s peace offer tries to play President Trump for a fool

Iran has no leverage in this game of chicken. While they threaten to harass commercial shipping through the Persian Gulf, the US has blocked all Iranian shipping.

Not only does that prevent Iran from selling its oil, it means that the Iranians have to store millions of barrels of oil that are being pumped every day.

But their storage capacity is quickly running out.

Pumping oil isn’t a matter of turning a spigot on and off. Shutting down productive wells means risking their usability forever, because the oil flow will effectively destroy the wellhead.

Iran’s latest “peace” offer — which President Donald Trump would be nuts to consider — continues the Islamic Republic’s history of playing from a posture of strength when the regime is actually in a state of near-collapse.

Now the mullahs say they will agree to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an end to the hostilities.

Yet the nuclear question will remain off the table for now … future talks TBD.

What chutzpah! The whole war was started to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons, so why would the United States — which paused its hell-storm to give the Iranians a chance to get their minds right — give up a key demand, as though we were the ones on our heels?

Iran’s foreign-policy strategy seems to be “fake it ’til you make it.” Its leaders — whoever they are at the moment — think that if they pretend to be a major world power, and demand to be treated as such, eventually Washington will partake in the fantasy.

Iran To Send Revised Proposal To US In ‘Days’ As ‘Tank Tops’ Loom, Trump Claims Iran “Informed Us They Are In State Of Collapse”

Iran’s counter is that it has three M’s on its side:“munitions, markets, and the midterms.“

  • Trump TS claim: Tehran has informed Washington they are in a “state of collapse” and that the Iranians want the US to “open the Hormuz Strait” – as ‘tank tops’ loom.

  • Trump doesn’t appear open to Iran’s proposal which hinges on US naval blockade ending & nuclear issue being pushed to future negotiations (CNN). Tehran working on revised plan to be sent in ‘few days’.

  • First crude-laden Japanese tanker from Saudi port exits Hormuz Strait successfully without Iranian interference.

  • Iranian analyst describes that Tehran believes it can outlast Trump & the standoff with US in Hormuz, citing “munitions, markets, and the midterms.”

Trump: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon – not now, not ever

That is his bottom line.

So it seems unlikely he will sign up to any sort of deal that would allow Iran to postpone those nuclear talks for the time being.

He’s also very much aware the blockade is doing significant economic damage to Iran. He thinks it’s putting the Iranians under extreme pressure and, as he said on social media, he’s waiting for Iran to effectively sort out its leadership so they can work out who to speak to.

Two months of near-total internet blackout in Iran

Iran’s near-total internet blackout has now lasted exactly two months, according to global watchdog Netblocks.

  • US President Donald Trump’s national security team is reviewing an Iranian plan to halt the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, while postponing talks on its nuclear programme.
  • Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade fire as the death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since an April 17 “ceasefire” rises to at least 40 people.
  • Dozens of nations have called for the “urgent and unimpeded reopening” of the Strait of Hormuz, with UN chief Antonio Guterres warning that the US-Iran standoff in the waterway risks triggering a global food emergency.

Strait of Hormuz should have ‘never been closed’

Qatar’s FM spokesperson al-Ansari says they are engaging with all their interlocutors over reopening the Strait.

“We believe it should have never been closed and it should be opened immediately, regardless of other considerations going on in the region,” he said.

Qatar in favour of ‘comprehensive deal’ to end conflict

The spokesperson said that Doha would be in favour of a “comprehensive deal” to end the conflict, following a question about reports that Iran wants to decouple Hormuz talks from nuclear discussions.

Lebanon:

Lebanon began discussing the group’s full disarmament, while debates raged within the country over Hezbollah’s future as a military and political power.

However, Hezbollah is now back on the battlefield, fighting Israel in southern Lebanon and appears not to be as degraded a fighting force as many had believed.

Pope Agitprop Fail: Roman Catholic voters are standing by President Donald Trump

Pope Backfire: Trump’s Support Among Catholics Went Up After Trump Fired Back at Pope Leo

Roman Catholic voters are standing by President Donald Trump amid a deep and public spat with Pope Leo XIV, according to recent polling.

Newsweek examined polls from February, March, and April, during which the pope made public his disapproval of the U.S. war against Iran.

Continued sniping from the Vatican led Trump to suggest the pope stick to matters of faith and allow American leaders to govern.

Newsweek used three Fox News polls for its sampling of Roman Catholic opinion. In the first, taken between Feb. 28 and March 2, Roman Catholic voters gave Trump a 52 percent approval rating.

A poll taken between March 20 and March 23, as the pope was criticizing Trump, showed Trump had a 48 percent approval rating among Roman Catholics.

But a third poll, conducted between April 17 and April 20, showed Trump with a 51 percent approval rating with Roman Catholics, even after he suggested the pope should rein in his comments.

White House representative Taylor Rogers suggested Roman Catholics were focused on what Trump was doing for them and not the pope’s commentary.

“There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his record proves it,” Rogers said in a statement.

Japan’s Street Prayer Takeover: This Is Conquest, Not Worship

A viral video from rural Gunma Prefecture in December 2025 captured it perfectly: roughly 50 Pakistani migrant workers lined up in synchronized rows, kneeling in prayer on a narrow farm road for nearly two hours. An ambulance and a school bus were forced to turn around and take detours.

This wasn’t an isolated mishap.

Similar scenes have played out in Osaka during Eid prayers, where crowds spilled from mosques into streets and parking structures, and in Fukuoka, where public parks became open-air prayer halls despite nearby mosques. These are not harmless acts of devotion. They are deliberate assertions of presence, a non-violent claim on public space in one of the world’s most orderly, homogeneous societies.

Everywhere, where people allowed Mohammedans to settle behind, what they perceive to be enemy lines, they will get this in return:

No Deal

And that’s a good thing.

If Mojtaba Khamenei and his minions, or whoever is now running the Islamic Republic of Iran, actually do at some point make a deal with Trump, it also must be remembered that it won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

As The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran explains, the Islamic concept of taqiyya, lying to deceive one’s enemies, is a particularly Shi’ite concept, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is a Shi’ite nation.

President Trump said today he has ordered the US Navy to take lethal action against any Iranian vessels attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has granted “friendly” countries, including Russia, a fee exemption to transit the Strait of Hormuz, reports the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.

That kind of stuff doesn’t work with Trump.

Nothing gets in or out:

This is the Persian Gulf! You see the first blockade in the narrow area? That’s the strait of Hormuz. That’s what the terrorist Islamic regime closed to put pressure on president Trump and US to back down. But they still don’t get it that President Trump is a 3 D chess player. He closed the second area which is wider and no ship related to the terrorist Islamic regime is able to leave or enter.

This is absolutely one of the smartest moves in the modern warfare. We give the glory to God for giving President Trump wisdom, knowledge understanding and might. The Islamic regime never thought of this and are caught by surprise. They literally can’t import weapons, missile fuels, they can’t sell oil. This is like holding them by the neck. Plus because of the Islamic regime closed the strait of Hormuz, now everyone is buying expensive oil from the USA. US oil sale jumped to 5.3 million barrels per day. Military masterpiece.

Lebanon truce extended; Trump says ‘clock is ticking’ for Iran to make deal

  • US President Donald Trump says he hopes to host Israeli and Lebanese leaders “in the near future”, after announcing a three-week extension to the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon, which was due to expire on Sunday.
  • President Trump said he is under no pressure to end his war with Iran, though time is limited for Tehran. “I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t – The clock is ticking!” Trump wrote on social media.
  • A third US aircraft carrier has arrived in the Middle East. The USS George HW Bush joined the USS Gerald R Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln in a massive buildup of naval firepower.
  • Trump gives orders to “shoot and kill” any Iranian boats placing sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as the US naval siege of Iran’s ports continues, and officials in Tehran say talks will not resume until the blockade is lifted.

The black spot on Salami’s forehead is a zebiba, from banging his head on the floor when he prays to allah to help him destroy the infidels….

In a daring midnight operation, U.S. Special Forces launched a high-impact raid on a hidden Iranian naval fleet near Bandar Abbas, uncovering a top-secret IRGC compound that had been off the radar for years.

155 vessels were sunk, fast attack boats and missile craft obliterated, and high-profile figures extracted under extreme pressure. But the real bombshell came when one key figure was captured, and what they revealed could change everything.

Explosions tore through the harbor as the operation became one of the deadliest naval strikes in recent history. But what the world doesn’t know yet about this operation could send shockwaves through international security…

Scottish Axe Girl

‘I hope you reflect that it’s not a good idea to carry weapons.’– Moonbat judge Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith

 
.

‘I hope you reflect that it’s not a good idea to carry weapons.’

The internet icon known as the Scottish axe girl gave testimony in the trial of a man accused of attacking her last August.

Following her testimony, a judge lectured the young girl about possessing the weapons in the first place.

‘I hope you reflect that it’s not a good idea to carry weapons.’

‘Come here, sexy. I’ll show you how to have a good time.’

The case goes back to the summer of 2025 when the 13-year-old girl was captured on video brandishing an axe and a knife in Dundee, Scotland.

Blaze News previously reported on allegations that a man had attacked the young girl after making sexual comments. Scotland Police stated than an adult man and woman had been charged in relation to the incident, along with a young girl.

The accused have since been identified as 22-year-old Ilia Belov and 20-year-old Nadjedzha Belova; both were charged with violent offenses against a group of girls between 12 and 14 years old. The man is also accused of following four young girls, according to the BBC, but he denies the allegations. Continue reading Scottish Axe Girl
