Iran Is Making Deals With ME Countries Without US Input [View all]

An Iranian official stated that the US has no credibility, it is cutting its own deals with Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, right now. It won't make Krasnov happy that these deals include fees that will be charged by Iran. These fees will start after the 60 day cease fire agreement.

Iran found a bigger weapon, thanks to Krasnov, than a nuclear weapon, its ability to turn off or on safe passage through Hormuz.

As I said many times, negotiations between the US and Iran are nothing more than Kabuki Theater.
