For over a decade, Iran has been stalling the International Atomic Energy Agency, and lying to naive, leftist Western leaders, claiming that it was building up uranium for domestic use. Trump, however, is not an easy target for Iran to run rings around, as was Joe Biden.
Iran has one objective in mind when it comes to nuke negotiations: to con its way into building a nuclear bomb without any hindrances. Its lies and manipulations have served to buy the regime time toward that goal. Now that Trump is asking hard questions in negotiations, it is obvious why Iran would become more aggressive.
“Iran becoming ‘much more aggressive’ in nuclear talks, Trump says,” by Amichai Stein, Jerusalem Post, June 10, 2025:
US President Donald Trump said that Iran is becoming “much more aggressive” in nuclear talks in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday.
Iran confirmed that it will hold a sixth round of indirect talks with the US in Oman on Sunday, June 15.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic and the US will hold the newest round of talks in Muscat next Sunday, with Oman as the mediator, Iran’s state media IRNA noted….

Yeah, so much for his boast of being able to work deals w/ anybody!
John Smith says
Early in March this year Trump sent a letter to Khamenei setting out a maximum two month deadline to reach a nuclear deal. In that letter he stated, “I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing.” Negotiations started on April 12 and Iran has absolutely no intention of complying with Trump’s demands. Yet more talks are scheduled for June 15, something Netanyahu isn’t very happy about. So what the hell is Trump playing at , is he going to go in or isn’t he.
Daniel Triplett says
He’s getting himself in trouble with the hyperbolic tough talk rhetoric and threats. Nothing wrong with talking tough…as long as you always follow through. The Left has now even taken to calling him “TACO:” Trump Always Chickens Out.
As with our nuclear deterrence doctrine, it’s impotent and meaningless unless we demonstrate our will to actually use the nuke ordnance once in a while.
If I were in charge, I’d use about six low-yield MIRV tactical nukes on one UGM-533A Trident II, to raze the entire Iranian nuke production infrastructure, both surface and subterranean, in about 14 minutes. Guaranteed Battle Damage results.
Why risk multi-billion dollar stealth bombers along with all the support aircraft? Why risk several hundred aircrew, and the giant mess and consequential extortion of trying to get them back if they’re shot down and taken prisoner? Why risk stirring up the hornets nest without achieving the guaranteed battle damage objective?
A Trident II is the right weapon for this mission objective. And the rest of the Ummah will know America is serious about defending Western civilization with nuke weapons. That will be an important lesson for them later on when we begin forced Islamic liberation operations.
Captain Quirk says
Why? Because I’d think it would be very unwise for the US to be the first country to breach the ‘nuclear stop’.
I much prefer the MOP/ B-2 Spirits route, because it shows that you can use these weapons instead.
Westman says
Meanwhile that distant high-pitched whine is a thousand centrifuge separators purifying U235.
Would Iran use nukes on Israel knowing Palestinians will also die? Would it use nukes to extort control of Mecca from Saudi Arabia? Would it let a nuke pass to one of its proxies? Does the Iranian Regime need to be ended by any means necessary to avoid greater bloodshed later?
Would that saying apply about mess around (and do nothing) and find out?
somehistory says
“Israel is considering launching a military strike against Iran in the coming days without American support, according to Western officials.
The officials said fears of either no deal or a weak deal between Donald Trump, the US president, and the Islamic Republic to curtail its nuclear programme had forced Israeli strategists to consider a unilateral attack against Tehran.”
President Trump said that iran ‘cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons.’ “We can’t have that.”

“To a businessman every problem looks like a deal.”
I hope Trump:
Is not as naïve as he is appearing.
Recognizes when there is no deal to be made.
Can acknowledge that Iran’s way of thinking does not align with Western thought.
Knows when it’s time to switch to his other tools, the tools in his Presidential capacity.
Faces the fact that history doesn’t always give you the “Peace” option.
Directs his staff to attend to special assignments to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Remembers that Israel is a true friend to the U.S.
and if nothing else, YOU DON’T WANT TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE FOOL WHO LET IRAN GET NUCLEAR BOMBS.
