The statements of the US President are part of efforts to reduce energy prices and buy time for the implementation of his military plans, state-run Mizan news agency reports, citing a Foreign Ministry statement as saying.
There are no talks between Tehran and Washington

Articles like this give credence to what Krasnov was going to do, everyone should be screaming that blowing up power plants is not only a war crime, but bat shit crazy and postponing war crimes is bat shit crazy too, fucking cancel that idea.

It's all about manipulating the market.

Trump is the POS who threw away the negotiated nuclear deal negotiated with Iran under the Obama administration. What is disgraceful is NOT one person in the WH press corp has called out the POS in the WH on that.
and of course with the stupidity of much of the American public, they probably don't even realize that there was a deal, before trump threw it away.

(12,423 posts)... he's the most prolific and most blatant pathological liar American politics has ever seen? Why would he lie about that, other than the fact that Iran called his bluff? Why are people being so graceless?
