It depends who you ask. It appears the regime is split into two opposing factions, one that wants to make a deal and one that wants to continue the war. It seems there is no single leader telling everyone what to do.

Trump is saying this because the Iranian Foreign Minister posted on X like an hour ago, that he doesn't know who Trump thinks he was talking to today, but it wasn't Iran.
Personally I think Trump is deep into senile dementia, and someone like Steven Miller is screening his calls and pretending to be whoever Trump wants to call, and just playing along. Like that time a couple weeks ago where Trump claimed he called the CEO of Sharpie and told them how to make better Sharpies, and Sharpie posted that they never spoke to the POTUS.

As a chef and avent daily user of sharpies, im very curious what his demented brain could do to improve them and why that is taking up even a second of the president's time. Legitimately, wtf?

IIRC he wants to use it to sign documents on camera, so he wanted it to be black. During an official meeting, he was incoherently rambling about a conversation with the company in which they felt super flattered by that and offered him a personalised one, which the company denied ever occurring. You can make personalised pens on their website, so it wasn't even a new idea for the company. And probably how he obtained the one he owns.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they did say that. That’s the problem with having a world leader as immature and stupid as Trump. All they have to do is say things to make him feel good about himself and then do whatever the f*** they want. They get whatever they want by doing so and continue to operate just like they were before.
News report comes out about Iran funded hesbolah attacking Israel. And Trump will come out and say no that’s fake news. They told me that they wouldn’t do it and I believe them. continue ad nauseam. It’s shameful

Iran figured out how to play the Trumpet.
Tell him whatever he wants to hear, and then still do whatever they were gonna do anyway.

Why does anyone believe a word the man says anymore. He was a liar for decades before the dementia. He'd always say whatever he thought he needed to say to get through the next 10 minutes. Truth or facts are irrelevant. Always have been with him.
Now with the clear signs of dementia, the fantasies and lies are bigger and bigger.

Lies and blasphemy. He's so full of shite. Kegsbreath quoted pulp fiction the other day as if it's gospel. The depths of depravity my country have fallen to have no bounds. I'm awaiting the blessed day this administration falls. Time for a hard reset of the American Republic.

They’ve instead chosen to support Shamas and Shmezbola.
Totally unrelated and different things, they promise.
