Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

On his Truth Social app, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has refuted earlier reports that Iran suspended ceasefire talks over Israel’s escalation in Lebanon. Per President Trump, talks never ceased and are still, even now, progressing. pic.twitter.com/XlE6Pw0Gbq

Funny, he didn’t say anything about that yesterday.

EAMON JAVERS
Do you think the negotiations are over now, or is this a bluff?

PRESIDENT TRUMP
I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I…

EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now, or is this a bluff?

PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring. They were giving us what we needed, but I think I think they handled the negotiations poorly. It took too long. I thought they were tapping us along that’s all. Yeah, they were.

Of course. Yeah, about that:

Iran’s negotiators have reportedly suspended “message exchanges” with the US - IRGC associated outlet Tasnim

The move is reportedly in direct response to Israel’s renewed offensive into southern Lebanon.

Iranian state-backed media outlets are now reporting that Iran has suspended ceasefire talks with the U.S. over the significant expansion of Israeli operations against Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) in Southern Lebanon. According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the success of U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks is contingent on Israel’s deescalation in Southern Lebanon, saying “a violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.”

According to Iranian state-backed media outlet Fars, following Iran’s suspension of talks over Israel’s escalation in Southern Lebanon, the IRGC is now threatening to target Northern Israel if Israel expands their strike campaign to include Lebanese Hezbollah positions and infrastructure in the capital, Beirut.

According to Israel’s Kan News, U.S. President Donald J. Trump is on a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following Iran’s announcement that they suspended talks with the U.S. over Israel’s strikes and ground operations in Southern Lebanon. Earlier, President Trump said that he had not yet been made aware of the move by Iran.

This comes amidst reports that the U.S. pressured Israel to forego strikes on Lebanese Hezbollah in Beirut, Lebanon.

On the same day, Trump said he didn’t know Iran had broken off talks, said he didn’t care if they had, and said what he repeated today:

Despite recent reports that Iran has set their foot down on tying a Lebanon ceasefire to U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks, after his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has said that talks with Iran continue to progress “at a rapid pace.”… pic.twitter.com/OrPbnyrW0e

So, sure, maybe this is what Trump meant today (who knows what he meant yesterday?):

U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio has also said that it can take almost a week to hear back from Iranian negotiators, due to the divisions within the decision-making framework and the multi-tiered process that Iranian negotiators take to relay information to and from the supreme leader. pic.twitter.com/Q7qrEbS0Ez

There is a pattern:

Trump posted his Iran "Documents of Surrender" fantasy on May 18. Then again May 26. Then again just now. Verbatim. Three times.

Surely the third time's a charm. pic.twitter.com/vhCpPlIMD9

And a curious feature:

Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. The last time he was seen publicly for something other than a pre-taped interview was six days ago -- Wednesday, May 27 -- for his cabinet meeting. (He went to Walter Reed the day before.)

So:

Trump hasn't been seen publicly in 6 days, Iran talks are halted, Bill Pulte (zero intel experience) is now Acting DNI, the Pentagon classified its own press room, and it's a big primary election night. Read the midday breakdown at MeidasTouch. https://t.co/XdCHJJfDlV

And he’s issuing tweets saying what he said yesterday.

🤔

SNAFU.

FUBAR.
