Thanks Donald. We’ll add it to the list. 3/5/26 - They’re calling, asking how do we make a deal. 3/15/26 - I don’t even know that we want to make a deal. But they want to make a deal badly. 3/27/26 - They’re negotiating. They’re begging to make a deal. 3/29/26 - I do see a deal with Iran. It could be very soon. 3/31/26 - It’s possible we’ll have a deal, because they want to make a deal. They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal. 4/16/26 - We’re very close to making a deal. That would be a great thing. 4/17/26 - We’ll be knowing very shortly. I expect things to go well. Many of these things have been negotiated and agreed to. 5/6/26 - They want to make a deal. We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it’s very possible we’ll make a deal. 5/7/26 - Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And, they’ve agreed to that, among other things. 5/19/26 - They’re begging to make a deal. 5/20/26 - They want to make a deal so badly. 5/22/26 - Iran is dying to make a deal. 5/27/26 - Iran is very intent, they want very much to make a deal. 5/29/26 - A “memorandum of understanding” has the concept of being approved. This would extend the concept of an agreement for at least 60 days. 5/30/26 - The one guarantee I have to have, is that there’ll be no nuclear weapons. And they’ve agreed to that. 6/1/26 - Iran really wants to make a deal and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. 6/1/26 - I don't care if they're over, honestly. I really don't care. I couldn't care less. If they're over, they're over ... frankly, I thought they started to get very boring. (Peace talks) 6/2/26 - I told Iran, it’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer! 6/4/26 - They (hezbollah) called us and said, how about stopping. And I think you’re going to see things happen. 6/8/26 - We’re negotiating now, and they want to make a very good deal. They’re willing to give us everything. They’re willing to give us no nuclear weapons. You’re really gonna win it over the next two weeks, when we declare total victory. It’ll be total victory. It’ll happen very soon. 6/11/26 - Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved.

Hopes of quick Iran peace deal fade as Tehran accuses US of gross violation of ceasefire with new strikes

First of all, any agreement between the United States and Iran means absolutely nothing to Iran because nothing was happening over there between them another countries or them and us except they were enriching their uranium and how long has it been since there’s been a war? Now we go in and attack them And they’re gonna tell us whatever we want to hear. Secondly, any agreement made between Iran and this administration means nothing to this administration whatsoever because that’s just the kind of people they are. They will use any excuse, even the ones that make the least sense to attack them again! Third, they just said in the story that there’s various other countries that have to agree to it Fourth, Trump knows zero about the Middle East. He is a blunder, an absolute failure at foreign policy, and there was various reasons why but one big one is because he thinks the United States is the center of the universe. That almost scratches the surface.

Trump is basically negotiating with himself!
President Trump didn’t “force Iran to the table” through strength he ripped up the deal that was already keeping Iran’s program under inspections and limits, then escalated tensions until we’re back in another Middle East war. And let’s be honest, this wasn’t really about “American strength,” it was about saying yes to Israel and pushing the same decades-old claim that Iran is always supposedly “days away” from a bomb. Trump basically signed off on helping carry out this stupid war, so what strength does that actually prove? Yes, they’re talking now, but talks don’t mean a deal will happen after years of chaos and threats, and there’s a reason no recent Republican or Democratic president went this far they understood it could lead to instability, higher oil prices, and Americans paying for it at the pump and everywhere else. And honestly, we never seem to learn our lesson. The U.S. has spent decades interfering in Iran’s politics, including helping overthrow their democratic government, and a lot of today’s hostility traces back to those choices in the first place.
