So…

Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, says in a post earlier on X that this weekend’s peace talks in Islamabad were “not an event but a process,” providing a much more optimistic view of the recent talks than U.S. Vice President JD Vance and other Iranian officials, stating that the talks “laid the foundation” of a future peace agreement with the United States.
Let’s blow that up!
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the situation, U.S. President Donald J. Trump is considering resuming limited strikes inside Iran as a method to break the current impasse in the peace talks process with Iran. Per the report, a less likely scenario, that is also on the table, is resuming high tempo strikes on Iran as well. Should such measures be employed, they would be in addition to the blockade of maritime traffic from Iranian ports announced earlier by U.S. Central Command.
Nothing says “we’re serious about peace!” like dropping more bombs (which we are running out of). And Trump has (again) promised “obliteration” (or just threatened it), but now he wants “limited strikes.”

(Notably, he still doesn’t want boots on the ground. He also doesn’t want to bomb Iran into the Stone Age. He really is a paper tiger. Could it be more obvious?)
