Tehran recruits psychologists to tailor messages for 'mentally ill' Trump: Report

Iranian officials reported that treating the US president 'like dealing with a patient' has already yielded 'some progress' in negotiations.

Iranian negotiators hired senior psychologists to vet diplomatic messages for US President Donald Trump during indirect talks between Washington and Tehran, US journalist Jeremy Scahill reported on June 13, citing Iranian sources.


Speaking on the Breaking Points podcast, Scahill said the shift was implemented a few weeks ago as the Iranian delegation believes Trump is "legitimately mentally ill" and “operating in an impaired mental state.”

Negotiators told Scahill the decision was not made with "any lightness" but as a response to what they perceive as a "mentally incapacitated" leader.

After having medical professionals "work up a psychological profile," the team began to “cater” messages before delivering them to mediators.


This strategy coincides with renewed scrutiny of the President’s health as he celebrates his 80th birthday Sunday.

Earlier reports noted physical symptoms in the president, including hand bruising, swollen ankles, a neck rash, and frequent dozing during cabinet meetings.


Iranian officials reported that treating the interaction "like dealing with a patient" has already yielded "some progress" in negotiations.


Mediating nations, including Qatar and Turkiye, have also reportedly shared concerns regarding the President’s consistency.


The increasing worry about Trump's mental condition arises as the US narrowly escaped a potentially catastrophic ground invasion of Iran.


CNN revealed on 12 June that senior US military officials nearly approved a risky plan to seize Iranian uranium, with Gen. Dan Caine visiting CENTCOM in May to review invasion plans.

Trump ultimately stopped the plan, allegedly over concerns about provoking strong Iranian retaliation, ongoing escalation, global economic turmoil, and substantial US casualties.

Intelligence warnings also pointed to potential regional repercussions, including the possible closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait by Yemen.


Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi revealed on Friday that a proposed memorandum aims to formally end regional war, including in Lebanon, and stressed Iran "will never leave Lebanon alone." He added that ending the war requires Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territories.

I am not surprised. Little wonder the Iranians are way ahead of him.

The Iranians have smart, brilliant, experienced PhD holders who are career military strategists and career diplomats to run their military and diplomatic strategy while Trump got his business partner, Wikoff, and son-in-law, Jared, who are both barely educated beyond 1st degree and with almost zero experience in military strategy and war diplomacy, to lead US team engaging with the intellectually more sophisticated Iranians while ignoring the highly experienced US bureacracy and career diplomats.

They are just lucky that the Americans are a civiled nation.
And they should be grateful Trump is holding Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel down, otherwise you will have a hard time figuring which Is Gaza and which is Iran

when they tell you the truth that all Muslims are terrorist,you will become angry.well continue no go look for help .God continue to bless the sender of terrorists to hell since their virgins are waiting for them there

Is very disrespectful of the Persians to the golden head of America

Very necessary.

The man is definitely ill.

They are the real mental with their terrorism supports.

Whatever this maniacs call Trump,he deserves it, he is the one playing hide and seek game with them, he should have face his objective by finishing off this terrorist, but he running around negotiations, can this terrorist say the same thing to Benjamin Netayahu? the answer is no, because Bibi does not romance with terrorist, he simply send them to Allah.

Trump already told them that indirectly...
So they had to wake up early and face reality. You can be normal when dealing with a terrorist.
Imagine Iran planning great destruction for America and Israel for so many years then you expect their presidents to deal with them normally. They will need narcos help for that to happen when it comes to Iran.
Iran is lucky to have signed the deal otherwise they would have been history

Israel just struck southern Beirut (Hezbollah's stronghold) killing it commander Ali Al-hajj. Will be waiting for ur master's (IRGC) response. Israel the spoilers😆😆

Some religion and terrorism are 5&6 always sympathizing with them

FreeStuffNG do you work for Tehran

Americans are just trying to protect their image while the world cup is ongoing, that's understandable.

Netanyahu understands and speak the language of the terrorists fluently, and loves doing that aura for aura.

So in a nutshell Trump sick for head?

The insanity of Trump has become a subject of study. Wow, America why.

I love your delusion. But let me ask you, do you know why Netyahu’s retaliation after Iranian strikes on Isreal was measured and didn’t prolong beyond what it was, it was because Trump told Netyahu that if he doesn’t stop then Isreal would have to face Iran alone. If Isreal was capable of solely dealing with Iran it wouldn’t listen to Trump.

Trump is very reasonable, he acts proportionate and believe not all Iranians are terrorists! They are lucky indeed that america is a democratic country.

What if he gets angry and blows up everybody in Iran?

Trump has been holding back because of the time and season. Iran should count themselves lucky. But they have to be careful, incase the time slips by and it becomes too late for them.

I smell a rat with this writeup. It's either the writer is zionist that is trying to scuttle the ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran or he hates peace in the Middle East
