Are you people blind. Can't you see that it is US looking for ceasefire and deal upandan. Left for Iran fighting should continue they are forever ready.

They are siting on negotiating table because for a reasonable sovereign nation that was expected of u. Do you want to tell me that Iran that it was Iran that wanted this deal desperately or US.

Go and write it down Iran will never agree to total dismantling of the enrichment and know this for truth they will build nukes soon for deterrence purpose.
Keep deceiving yourself.....the US and Israel have done enough to Iran that would make them use any leverage against them to win the war if they have any and not coming to the table. grin grin grin .

None of it makes sense. American oil giants are not comfortable to go in with their money (yet)

You just don’t kidnap people’s president, even if part of the government wanted it to happen.

And that has got nothing to do with cushioning anything at home. Infact, the US is currently selling its strategic reserve to other countries just to make sure there’s still oil around the world, not to cushion anything for ordinary Americans.

He also said it on the tv recently that he doesn’t care about the issues with AMERICANS … he only care about the war in Iran.
Okay..... I'll research further on this your take though I did read somewhere that America has the refineries that are built to handle such crude oil.

Your thinking is very shallow..Try and reason like am educated person..
Whatever deal that will stop Iran from making nuclear weapons will not signed. You have to understand that Iran has proven their point and they will not be bullied...

As a matter of fact Trump has indirectly encouraged Iran to build a nuclear weapons,this will prevent attacks in the near future. USA or any country will want to attack a country that has nuclear weapons... Iran has fully realized and they are now more willing to build one.

Trump or the Republican party will not be in power forever. So any new government that comes into power after Trump will now have a great deal of work to do in order to negotiate Iran from the nuclear power program.....I see this impossible to do

Due to the economic problems that Trump has caused by attacking Iran , I don't think any USA government after Trump leaves office will want to
engage war with Iran .

Trump has actually blew this up for any future negotiations with Iran.
You overhype Iran too much.....for a country that couldn't secure their top leaders from US and Israeli eyes(intelligence) how can they possibly run a successful nuclear weapon program without them knowing?......and you think Israel will fold it's arm and watch it happen huh?.

You guys know nothing. Iran will never compromised their enrichment in totality, that's their lifeline and they know well if they commit to total abandonment they are done for it.

They have propose long ago the pause in their enrichment activities for some like 10 years but the felon and Satanyahu refused it demanding more. And the conditions for such pause if for lifting of sanctions.

It going to be give and take Iran doest give a Bleep either through attacking or bullying them. They are ever loaded and ready to cause an equal measure of havoc to aggressors. They have greater leverage now than before the war. Any attempt to attack infact all the world will smell they consequence of it. I will not feeling it already here in Nigeria. So the felon is backing down in striking Iran further by calling every stakeholders. Something he would have done long ago.

Simple truth there is no military solution to this conflict except thru mutual respected dialogue.
Did you say greater leverage?.....then why are they at the talking table instead of making it clear to the US and Israel that the war will only end on their own terms?.

Top dawgs.... grin grin Come on man!!!

If the so called top dawgs wanted Trump out, he would. America is a complex web of interests.

The shootings so far have been planned, probably " manchurian candidates"/patsy to shore up Trump.
This one though just some suicidal maniac.

Manchurian candidates and patsies are well trained.

Donald Trump is America's rod of affliction.
Planned?.…where is your evidence or should we just believe because you said so?.

Lol...it is still staged...if it was that easy, we would be having governors being kidnapped in Nigeria daily. A single gun man opening fire at Us Secret service at a check point definitely has less than 0% chance of reaching the president. This is another false flag. Just recently, Donald Trump's manipulation of the stock market has been discovered but guess what will dominate the news now? An assassination attempt on the 'secret service' by a lone gunman.
Staged!!!.....just say you're a Trump hater and we will understand.

Well as stated above by the president of America, any deal that would be reached would absolutely stop Iran from the prospect of acquiring nuclear weapons....which would mean that one of US main target would be achieved and the other one which is regime change is up to the Iranians to decide.

It's not by talking tough and doing gra gra because las las you'll still bow to superior power.......this is exactly what Iran is going through after bragging that they won't stop their nuclear program regardless.
Foreign AffairsTrump Says Iran Deal 'Largely Negotiated' Including Reopening Strait Of Hormuz by Mattswaggz(op): 2:18am On May 24
US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and details will be announced soon.

The deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Saturday, without giving further details.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei earlier told state television that US and Iranian positions had been converging in the last week, but warned that did not mean agreements would be reached on key issues and accused the Americans of "contradictory statements".

On social media, Trump said he had a "very good call" with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and others about a "Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE".

"An agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed," Trump said.

"Final aspects and details of the deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly."

He also said he had a call on Saturday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which "went very well".

The president has not given any further details on the deal, but has insisted any agreement would "absolutely" prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The US and Israel launched wide-ranging strikes on Iran on 28 February, sparking conflict across the Middle East. Iran responded by launching attacks on Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf.

A ceasefire in Iran was agreed in early April, and since then Washington and Tehran have engaged in talks over a long-term peace deal.

Speaking to state television on Saturday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei also described a "memorandum of understanding", saying Iran's intention was to reach an agreement "in the form of a framework, consisting of 14 points".

Baqaei said they were in the process of finalising the memorandum, so further talks could be held within 30 to 60 days "and ultimately a final agreement can be reached".

Not too long ago a similar scenario happened and some people here were saying it was staged(I wonder how they think)......Now it has happened again.

Seems like there are some top dawgs that desperately need Trump out because these actions of theirs reeks of sheer desperation and frustration.....bad news for them though because he will use up his 4yrs to do what he promised to do when elected and the bunch of failures won't be able to stop him.

Two people have been wounded in a shooting near the White House, including a suspect and possible bystander, law enforcement sources tell the BBC's US partner CBS News

At around 18:00 local time (23:00 GMT), a volley of gunfire was heard by multiple journalists who were present at the White House.

Members of the Secret Service ushered them inside the building to the press briefing room, and the White House was placed under lockdown.

Sources told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that between 15 and 30 gunshots were fired, and that it appeared to be a single gunman who had approached Secret Service agents and shot at them unsuccessfully. Those agents then returned fire.

US media has since reported that two people were wounded in the shooting, and both have been taken to hospital. CBS reports that one of those people is the suspect, who they say is in critical condition, and the other is a possible bystander.

The lockdown at the White House was then lifted at 19:00 local time (00:00 GMT).

We have not yet heard anything from President Donald Trump, who was in residence at the White House at the time of the shooting. It comes just one month after a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Sources say it appears a person shot at Secret Service agents unsuccessfully, and the agents returned fire.

Several Secret Service agents were evaluated at the scene, but none of them were deemed to need hospital treatment.

FBI director Kash Patel says the Secret Service is responding to shots fired near the White House.

Just look at you nonsense analysis of humanity and humanness. Another country recklessly attacking others criminally and you are touting that as strategy.

What really did Venezuela and Iran do that America has not done 10x. Is it sponsoring of terrorism in the world, or supporting Slavery and Apartheid for so many years or the sponsoring of rebels to take over legitimate governments and of course the big one, being the first and only nation to use nuclear/atomic bombs.

Funny. USA.
My post is strictly analysis based.......if you want to talk about human ills then start with your country and/or create a thread for it okay.
