    "Iran’s foreign ministry has issued a statement, saying: “We deny what US President Donald Trump said regarding negotiations taking place between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

    Quoted by CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, the foreign ministry adds: "The Islamic Republic of Iran adheres to its position rejecting any type of negotiations before achieving Iran’s goals from the war.”

      I fucking feel you, and the ‘thank you for your attention to this matter’ as a sign off with a ‘signature’ is so cringe.

    The investor class will take this all-caps tweet seriously, and then turn around and remind you that they have all the money because they’re smarter than you.

    Iran media has already refuted the claims. How many times does Trump think we are to believe his lies, this moron doesn’t have a plan except keep the markets from tanking.

    Friday’s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards. At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire. At 12:31 he said everything was perfect. At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing. At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz. At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed. At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran. At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran.

    By 3:43 PM he told CBS he doesn’t want a ceasefire. By 5:13 PM - 13 minutes after futures markets closed for the weekend, in a coincidence that should be studied in every securities fraud textbook - he posted on Truth Social that the US is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts”. The S&P reversed more than 1% in seconds. QQQ had already surged 1.1% in the 80 minutes before the announcement, with call options flowing in at a pace that suggests someone, somewhere, had an itinerary.

    I think there is some limited truth in this.

    I think what really happened is that Iran and the GCC countries had conversations, where Iran confirmed their position, and the GCC countries relayed to Trump that they will default on every single financial obligation they have to him personally, once their countries are made unlivable.

    So in a way, there was a negotiation, just not directly.

      Iran publicly stated they would bomb the surrounding infrastructure.

      Iran has changed from their past muted responses with limited retaliation, to adopting a similar reaction as the aggressor. Their gas got bombed and Iran then bombed Qatari gas. Then they put out a statement saying they would bomb the region if they got bombed again and Trump walked it back

      The only thing that works against the US hegemony is the fear of retaliation and Iran is showing they won’t be bullied into submission.

    This is a way to threaten them, disguised as peace talks. Y’all are very new to this Trump stuff huh.
