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.

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.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com 48s 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?

Iran has had enough Bullying.
Nothing they do will make a difference,the goalposts will just keep moving until the Sanctions destroy them.
So they're Negotiating on what they Will Do, not what is being crammed up their ass.
If that's not good enough I guess it means War.
Illegal, Aggressive War.
Iran won't hit first in my opinion.
But they Will Hit Back.
Hard.

Piggy has backed himself into an odd corner.
The Venezuela model simply won't work.
A few bombs dropped, maybe some generals killed
Then what?
If he decapitates the leader, it is chaos, destabilizing the region.
If he kills a few generals, then what?
Walk away?
Invade to remove the ayatollah?
for what?
the nuclear program?
Which was obliterated I was informed
Thanks magat scum.

In terms of global military firepower, Iran is ranked 16 out of 145 countries.
Neighboring Turkiye is ranked 9/145.
American taxpayer-funded nuclear power Israel is ranked 15/145.
Poor Venezuela was ranked 51/145.
