A victory for common sense. Suddenly we were heading back to Obama-era negotiations with the mullahs, and they would have taken full advantage of the ignorance and naivete that prevail about their intentions in Washington to this day.
“Trump cancels meetings with Iranian officials and tells protesters ‘help is on its way,'” by Aamer Madhani, Associated Press, January 13, 2026:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he’s cutting off the prospect of talks with Iranian officials amid a protest crackdown, telling Iranian citizens “help is on its way.”
Trump did not offer any details about what the help would entail, but it comes after the Republican president just days ago said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic, where the death toll from nationwide protests has spiked to more than 2,000, according to human rights monitors.
But Trump, with his latest message on social media, appeared to make an abrupt shift about his willingness to engage with the Iranian government.
“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote in a morning post on Truth Social. “Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”…

President Trump is 100% right for siding the Iranian people in their righteous and just revolt against the brutal cruel oppressive and murderous tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Most informed Americans are well aware that back when Joe Biden was sitting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a genuine m real US President, he, quickly caved, to those Muslim despots of that Islamic tyranny of Iran giving in and granting them everything they demanded. Therefore, straightening the oppressive grip of those Islamic tyrants on the Iranian people.
Consequently, the people trapped in that brutal cruel death inflecting Islamic tyrannical regime didn’t dare endeavor into the righteous attempt to have their basic human rights and freedom to overthrow that horrendous “mullah regime” of Iran.
Now, with President Trump in Office , a real US President, ,who is not supporting and upholding those dictators of Iran but opposes them , unlike bogus “president ” Biden, the Iranian people are engaging in their noble action and quest to free themselves from the oppressive and deadly bondage of that horrific Islamic tyranny of Iran.

I listened briefly to Mark Levin on the car radio the day before yesterday, during a short trip. He revealed that there is a disagreement between Trump and Vance, with Vance (who, I suspect, is influenced by the appalling Tucker Carlson), urging Trump to “negotiate” with the Mullahs rather than initiate retaliatory measures. Hopefully, Vance has been overruled, and Trump will do what is necessary to facilitate the overthrow of the Iranian government.

WSJ also reported that, but they threw in Rubio as well as being one of the dissenters against military action. That throws its credibility into doubt, since Rubio, as a senator, was more hawkish on most of these issues – in fact, identical to Ted Cruz. Also, given how Fordow went, I doubt that Vance gets much involved in foreign issues right now: he’d probably have his hands full w/ domestic issues

Thanks, Infidel.

Negotiating with these Islamic leaders is never going to work. We have been doing that for the past thirty plus years with basically no results for regime changes. The only thing these islamic leaders understand is power and death, so our choice is to either give them the power to rule the world or kill them. I vote for the latter and I’m sure a whole bunch of people in Iran would vote the same way.
