...and then a few lines down in the article, we have "Iran denied agreeing to ​transfer its enriched uranium to the United States."

"When things are not going well he fills the gap with delusional statements about what is happening and what is to come. This drains credibility from his statements though the media still reports them as if they can be judged by the same standards as those of other political leaders."

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

What's this a quote from? Because the "invented the question mark" and "chestnuts being lazy" thing is really ringing a bell but I can't put my finger on it.

It’s a Dr Evil quote from Austin Powers

US media has been shit like this forever. It’s a big reason the US is in this mess

So a VERY leisurely pace then.

They will. They always deny this shit at first. Like how they denied the talks or ceasefire at first. Listnook has yet to know and understand how much of lying pieces of shit mullahs in charge of Iran's regime are. Despite trump being one himself Edit; just so you know, beghei, the spokesperson for Iran's government, who denied Trump's post, also denied khamenei being dead just 3 hours before official conformation

But you trust that man that said this war, which was already won, would be over in hours, despite it still ongoing several weeks later?

How did you derive that from the statement above? The sub is going a little bit to shitters lately.

Fit-Ad-835 Apr 17, 2026 -28
If you read my comment again, I've said he is a lying piece of shit too. But, in matters such as talks, I'll take his words over iran any day. You know why? Because i live in that hellhole and i know this regime Enough to understand they are willing to give up anything if it means they rule one more day.

funny beacuse we in Europe wait for Iranian confirmation of any of Trump statements.

Which ceasefire? The one last week that failed within a few hours or this more recent one that failed within a few hours?

So Trump is paying Iran billions of dollars and isn’t even getting the uranium? The American empire is falling before our very eyes.

What they're giving them money now?

warp99 Apr 18, 2026 +9
They are giving Iran its own money. Exactly what they condemned Obama for doing to get a nuclear deal.

I don't know what other conclusion you could come to after Iran said they were re-opening the strait during trading hours only to close it after the bell dinged.

In time, the corrupt members of the US Congress that are keeping this delusional idiot in power will be known to be more evil than the delusional idiot himself.

So it went from all at once to a Leisurely pace? Man the whiplash today is giving me a headache

One of the stated reasons for going to war with Iran is: "trust me bro, they're a few days away from having a nuclear bomb so we have to strike RIGHT NOW" And now it's: "yeah man, whatever - we'll get that Uranium at a leisurely pace, there's no rush"

Maybe Dr Jesus will store it in his home at mar-a-lago in the toilets.

Cleaning the cabinets with nuclear codes if it gets a little dusty.

So leisurely, in fact, that it will still be there well after he's six feet under.

HungryCats96 Apr 18, 2026 +4
I doubt it. Iran has no reason to give away its uranium to anyone. It's not clear that Donnie is talking to anyone other than the voices in his head.

Leisurely pace, like when they send it to us on the tip of a ballistic missile.

A cruise missile? Ba dum

"Leisurely pace". Aka we're not doing that because Iran won and told us to F*** off but I don't want to admit that.

So tax payers are giving Iran $20 billion and we’re getting nothing in return. This country is being ran like the Trump Taj Mahal C***** in Atlantic City, bankrupted in a year.

You know how you can tell if Trumps lying? His mouth is moving.

US troops to vacuum up enriched uranium? Bring on the none service related claims...

this_is_greenman Apr 17, 2026 +3
What are the odds trumps takes the uranium and then doesn’t pay?

Phixionion Apr 17, 2026 +3
It was all for nothing. We dont know how many Americans gave their life for this cause you cant trust anything from them, and thats saying something when you couldn't trust the government that much before.

I smell the 25th amendment but too many people would likely fry. I can’t wait for America to start over again completely wipe the government and install new leadership. Everyone is f****** fired. Elected Interims will be appointed in all positions until we have a full scale reelection and get the right people in office no party lines.

Leisurely pace? Say like.. idk.. two weeks?

Its BS .. below from Iran [https://x.com/mb\_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970](https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970) "The U.S. President made seven claims in one hour, and all seven are false. They did not win the war with these lies, and they certainly will not get anywhere in negotiations either With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open"

Probably 2 or 3 weeks, right?

This feels like that Rick and Morty “20 minute adventure” episode.

ItsTheOtherGuys Apr 18, 2026 +2
So unfreezing Iranian assets to buy the stashed uranium was a bad idea but straight buying it and taking your time collecting (you know, just more time to develop those missiles we have been told were weeks away for decades) is okay The goalpost moving is insane

Lmao why can't he just say the US lost? This is a pretty far cry from "unconditional surrender"

Imagine if he said “… at a medium pace.” And all of a sudden we had President Adam Sandler. 🙄
