Lewzer curious why Iran has not 'capitulated'

Sunday, February 22, 2026

US President Donald Trump is questioning why Iran has not yet "capitulated" in the face of Washington's military build-up in the Middle East, the US president's special envoy Steve Witkoff has said. Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Trump was "curious" about Iran's position after he had warned of a limited military strike if a deal was not reached on Tehran's nuclear programme.

In his interview with Fox News, Witkoff said: "I don't want to use the word 'frustrated'... because he [Trump] understands he's got plenty of alternatives, but he's curious as to why they haven't... I don't want to use the word 'capitulated', but why they haven't capitulated." "Why, under this sort of pressure, with the amount of sea power and naval power that we have over there, why haven't they come to us and said, 'We profess that we don't want a weapon, so here's what we're prepared to do?'"

Iran just butchered 25, 000 of its own citizens.

It will sit out "limited strikes".

Donald Trump will have to go big, with a full-fledged war, or he will have to go home.

Breaking news: The Pentagon's top general has cautioned President Trump from an attack on Iran, saying that shortfalls in critical munitions and a lack of support from allies will add significant risk to the operation and to U.S. personnel.

Trump said last June that the US had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program and 4 days ago he said that Iran's nuclear potential had been "totally decimated".

So he's trying to force them into an agreement over a nuclear program that he claims they do not have?

*** Iran Purchased Advanced MANPAD Systems from Russia ***

"Iran agreed to a secret 500 millionn Euro arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles in its most significant effort to rebuild air defenses shattered during last year's war with Israel. The agreement, signed in Moscow in December, commits Russia to deliver 500 man-portable "Verba" launch units and 2,500 "9M336" missiles over three years.

Under the Verba contract, the deliveries are scheduled in three tranches, running from 2027 through 2029. One person familiar with the transaction said it was possible a smaller number of the systems could have been already delivered to Iran."

He already has MANPADs. Without them the front of his pants would be soaked due to his weak, leaky bladder.

Why would they capitulate to someone who always makes threats then capitulates?
