Whatever #Trump does, in the longer term, doesn't matter. #Iran will gain a nuclear weapon because to not do it will cause it's rulers to lose face internally. #Nuclear accomplishes what N. Korea has done, basically nobody can touch them. www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/p...

Honestly, the US #media needs to get it's head out of it's ass and start reporting facts. It's on, it's off, the straight's open no it's closed. "We're in very good discussions" which apparently the Iranians don't know about. And what the #American voter wants is facts and truth. @cnn.com

What greater reason for #Iran to develop a nuclear weapon than to be threatened with one by a senile old man #Trump. Imagine if our politicians in the #GOP had a spine or morals.

So, after this little “journey” is done has anyone given a thought to how a pissed off #Iran is going to be prevented from taking out its revenge? Obviously #Trump hasn’t.
