Iran again. Or not.
I’m not planning to write anything lengthy on the Iran talks until something definitive happens. If it ever does. For example, this sort of back-and-forth dueling narratives has happened over and over, and has happened again:
The U.S.-Iran summit in Switzerland has run into trouble on its third day, with both sides making conflicting claims. A day after Vice President JD Vance hailed a ‘major milestone’ in talks, declaring Iran had agreed to allow United Nations inspectors back into the country, the Iranian negotiators denied the claim.
There’s much more at the link, if you’re interested.
“A day after Vice President JD Vance hailed a ‘major milestone’ in talks declaring Iran had agreed to allow United Nations inspectors back into the country, the Iranian negotiators denied the claim.”
The Iranian’s imitation of Ali’s famous “Rope-a-dope” tactic.
Pretending till the mid-terms that progress is being made is the administration’s strategy. If the mid-term results favor the pubs, then Trump may then have a much freer hand.
