“Which Is Strange Because Our BLOCKADE Has Already Closed It!”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump states that his representatives will be leaving soon for Islamabad, Pakistan, to attend the second round of peace negotiations with Iran, expected to take place Monday evening, adding that, “We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.”
TAPPER: What did you think when President Trump threatened to obliterate the entire Iranian civilization?

ELISE STEFANIK: He was focusing on the Iranian regime. It brought them to the table. We know he has very strong statements when he comes to his tweets

TAPPER: He said 'the entire civilization will die.' It's interesting that a 20 year old on a college campus yelling 'from the river to the sea' is worthy of condemnation, but a presiden--

STEFANIK: *starts talking over Tapper*
STEFANIK: President Trump didn't call for genocide, Jake. You are putting those words in his mouth

TAPPER: 'Your entire civilization will die'?

STEFANIK: It's the terrorist regime, Jake. He's targeting the terrorist regime

TAPPER: You're changing his words!
Not seeing the difference between bombing Iran “back to the Stone Age,” and doing “what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years,” and destroying the civilization; but I’ll have to leave that to the subtler insights of cable TeeVee talking heads.

Whatever happened to “open the fucking Strait you crazy bastards!”? No longer a viable strategy?
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh has stated that no date has been set for the next round of peace negotiations between Iran and the United States, following last weekend’s talks in Islamabad which failed to achieve an agreement, despite claims by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that there would be more direct talks this weekend in Pakistan.

“We are now focusing on finalising ⁠the framework of understanding between two sides. We don't want to enter into any negotiation or meeting which is doomed to fail and which can be a pretext for another round of escalation,” Khatibzadeh told reporters on the sidelines of a diplomacy forum Saturday in Turkey.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance will lead a delegation, which will once again include Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, for another round of direct peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan on Monday, before the current two-week ceasefire is scheduled to end Tuesday, two U.S. officials tell Axios.
Or, you know, not.
According to ABC News, U.S. Vice President JD Vance will not be leading the diplomatic delegation to Islamabad, despite reports from Axios and several other outlets, with President Trump telling Jonathan Karl that the issue is security, the Secret Service couldn’t do it on 24 hours notice. “It’s only because of security. JD’s great.”
Or, you know, not not. Or, you know, not not not.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance will attend the next round of Iran talks in Pakistan along with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, the White House has told CNN, after President Trump told ABC News that Vance would not be attempting the talks in Islamabad. In response to the conflicting messages over the U.S. delegation, a White House official said: “things changed.”
In a phone interview with morning with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, President Donald J. Trump stated regarding this week’s next round of peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, “If they don't sign this deal, the whole country is going to get blown up,” adding that bridges and power plants will be targeted throughout Iran.
I’m pretty sure the issue here is not “signing the deal,” but both parties keeping to its terms. Blockading the Strait to blockade their blockade is not exactly the terms of the last agreement.
