"In its report, Axios describes the memorandum as a one-page, 14-point memo which could set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations.

Among the provisions it lists are a suspension on Iranian nuclear enrichment, the lifting of sanctions, and restoring free transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

It cites two US officials and two other sources - all unnamed - whom it describes as briefed on the issues. These sources are reported as saying that many of the terms laid out in the memo would be contingent on a final agreement being reached."

"Responding to the Axios report, Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian Parliament's national security and foreign policy commission, wrote on X: "The Americans will not gain anything in a war they are losing that they have not gained in face-to-face negotiations."

He also said Iran "has its finger on the trigger and is ready" and warned that if the US did not "surrender and grant the necessary concessions", Iran would "deliver a harsh and regret-inducing response".

Trump has threatened renewed violence as well, writing on his Truth Social platform that if Iran did not agree to a deal "the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before".

If they offer him Honorary Sultan status, a Gold Temple and Statue Casino to His Greatness, and $10 Billion in Cryto... they got a Deal!

Not a dime to go to Iran as compensation until they pay for all the damage their proxies have done.

Trump's new Iran negotiator is Israel lobbyist who denounced talks with Tehran

The US has added a hardline Iran hawk and former pro-Israel lobbyist to its negotiating team, in a move that is likely to fuel speculations that Washington's Iran policy is being shaped by Israel First" officials.

Nick Stewart, formerly managing director of advocacy at FDD Action, the lobbying arm of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), has joined the office of special envoy Steve Witkoff, one of Trump's main negotiators with Iran.

"Satellite Images Reveal Iran Has Destroyed Far More Than Trump Admits
The U.S. isn't exactly winning the war like President Trump claims.

Satellite imagery has revealed that Iranian airstrikes have done much more damage to U.S. military bases, fuel depots, barracks, and other outposts than the Trump administration is letting on"even as the president and his Cabinet claim to be winning the war.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that at least 228 structures at U.S. military sites in the Middle East have been either partially damaged or totally destroyed by Iran since the beginning of the joint U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon."

Trump is likely legitimately in the dark on this stuff.

We all know he's a lazy f*&^ who's either s*&^ting and posting on social media, playing golf or shoving his fat face into appearances where he looks like an a&&.

There's no way his pathetic minions would tell him how bad it is, they'd likely be fired for doing so.

These criminals' only saving grace might be that they are SO arrogantly incompetent.

IRAN says that they will NEVER give up the Straits of Hormuz... because having them is BETTER than having a Nuclear Weapon!

(these guys are winning the Snark War as well as the actual war)

They are also telling ALL ships to stay AWAY from US ships, because, 'they need to teach Yankees a lesson!' per CNN

Also threating the UAE with, 'more punishment'.
