I don’t know who needs to hear this but the President of the United States is not the president of Israel and yet here we are issuing an ultimatum to two warring nations that have no vested interest in America.
For some ungodly reason, and mostly because President Trump doesn’t know how to mind his damn business, Elon Musk’s frenemy has ordered Iran and Israel to figure out their issues in a two-week period or America will start bombing Iran.
The craziest part of all of this is that Israel just started bombing Iran last week and now Trump and Israel want Iran to relent or face more bombing.
Here’s how CNN put it:
The hope among Trump and his advisers is that Iran — under constant Israeli attack and having suffered losses to its missile arsenal — will relent on its hardline position and agree to terms it had previously rejected, including abandoning its enrichment of uranium, according to US officials.
The deferred decision, which came after days of increasingly martial messages from the president suggesting he was preparing to order a strike, also gives Trump more time to weigh the potential consequences — including the chance it could drag the United States into the type of foreign conflict he promised to avoid.
But negotiating a diplomatic solution in Trump’s condensed timeline appeared to face significant early hurdles.
First, Trump put together some kind of peace team that included Assistant Senior Advisor Steve Witkoff and Vice President JD Vance to talk with Iran but that fell apart before it got started.
According to CNN, “Foreign ministers from Britain, Germany and France are traveling to Geneva on Friday to hold talks with Iranian representatives, and have been briefed on the details of the last deal Witkoff offered to Iran, which Tehran ultimately rejected before the Israeli strikes began. Among US officials, there were not high expectations of success for Friday’s meeting in Geneva, one US official said. But a White House official kept the door open to progress.”
“This is a meeting between European leaders and Iran. The President supports diplomatic efforts from our allies that could bring Iran closer to taking his deal,” a White House official said.
Iran has been consistent in their messaging which is this: “I’m not talking about a ceasefire while Israel is still bombing us.” I’m paraphrasing but you get the point. And here is the funniest part of it all: America hasn’t told Israel to stop bombing Iran! Don’t believe me? Trump literally told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, just last week, to “keep going.”
Iran is like,”Why do you keep talking to us when we are just trying to defend ourselves. Talk to your folks.”
I don’t know why the president keeps pump-faking and yet, here we are.
“I think the president has made it clear he always wants to pursue diplomacy. But believe me, the president is unafraid to use strength if necessary,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday. “And Iran and the entire world should know that the United States military is the strongest and most lethal fighting force in the world, and we have capabilities that no other country on this planet possesses.”
This is clearly not our fight and for some reason Trump is allegedly willing to back Israel and their bullying ways with all of the force of the American military.
I would like to defer to senior Black official of all Black military affairs who left this message for Iran:
