Iran’s leadership is incredibly deceitful and hypocritical! They make a request for a meeting, some even say they “are begging”; negotiations begin and they are set to continue in the near future as well, but then, openly and with pride, they say that no dialogue is taking place, nothing has been raised, and that they are only in contact with “Oman.” Then, as usual, they start with rhetoric and say that the Strait of Hormuz will be run with power by them; while this strait is currently fully under the control of the U.S. Navy and “our blockade”—or, as some say, “the U.S. steel wall!” Nothing reaches Iran without our permission, and until an agreement or complete surrender is achieved, nothing will reach it either. Whether Iran accepts this or not, we are in fact talking about a solution to a problem that they themselves have created over decades. The matter is very simple: Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
