https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/iran-reached-cia-discuss-end-151917506.htmlThe contact landed as Irans leadership structure was thrown into deeper disarray by continued Israeli strikes, complicating even the basic question of who can commit Iran to any ceasefire.
Irans surviving leaders have publicly projected defiance and refused to negotiate with US President Donald Trump to halt the American and Israeli assault on their country. But operatives from Irans Ministry of Intelligence quietly reached out indirectly to the CIA with an offer to discuss terms for ending the conflict, according to officials briefed on the outreach cited by The New York Times.
The contact, delivered through another countrys intelligence service, landed as Irans leadership structure was thrown into deeper disarray by continued Israeli strikes, complicating even the basic question of who can commit Iran to any ceasefire, the report said. US officials described the approach as not serious for now, and said they were skeptical that either Washington or Tehran is genuinely ready for an immediate off-ramp.
The White House and Iranian officials did not respond to requests for comment, according to the report. The CIA declined to comment.
The man is totally insane

(49,265 posts)Trump craves coastal real estate. He has probably already drawn up plans for Trump City along the Straits of Hormuz - like Dubai but golden, tackier, cheaply made and built on death and misfortune of others. And why not -there will be casinos. And a toll gate for every passing tanker to pay homage to his diapered highness.
