  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

President Trump said Saturday that a deal to end the war with Iran would be announced "shortly" and that the "final aspects" are currently being negotiated.

The big picture: Trump's comments came after separate calls with Arab and Muslim leaders and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This is the firmest statement the president has made that he is prepared to agree to the memorandum of understanding being negotiated with Iran.




  • A U.S. official briefed on the negotiations told Axios the deal was nearly finished but that there were still gaps on the "wording" of several points.
Reality check: Trump and his advisers thought they were close to a deal several times at earlier stages in the war, but none materialized.

Breaking it down: The deal is designed to end the war, gradually open the Strait of Hormuz, and launch at least 30 days of more detailed negotiations on issues including Iran's nuclear program.

Friction point: Several hawkish Republicans have released statements in the past few hours in opposition to a deal.
  • Netanyahu is also highly skeptical of the deal under negotiation and has urged Trump to opt for new strikes against Iran.
  • Trump said his call with Netanyahu on Saturday went "very well."
Driving the news: In addition to the call with Netanyahu, Trump spoke with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan.

Trump set all of this in motion when he tore up the JCPOA, in his first term in office.

The Obama deal with Iran was profitable for Iran and, with a setup to avoid immediate inspections, gave them a path to a nuclear weapon.

They were in compliance and had no enriched uranium. Now they have some close to make a bomb and Trump is wanting a deal just like the one he tore up.

You're making that up, Trump is not going for a deal that will allow a future nuclear weapon! He has stated that time and time again.

AI report:
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regularly verified that Iran was adhering to the limits set by the JCPOA. This included restrictions on its centrifuge count, uranium enrichment purity, and heavy water stockpile.

The United States withdrew from the agreement and reimposed nuclear-related sanctions. In response, Iran initially continued to honor the deal but demanded that other signatories provide the economic relief promised.

There was a very good deal in place and any new deal will need to mirror that deal. And Trump's offer is similar.
