Iran War: U.S.-Israel Attacks and the Prospect of Negotiations

How would you advise the Iranian, uh, government in the circumstances given, uh, uh, the seismic impact of this war? Billions, uh, pushed, uh, well, into poverty partly because of the high inflation, let alone the mass casualty events we've seen, uh, in this region in the past, uh, since,

uh, February. Look, it- uh, Iran is, uh, Iran is, uh, facing a, a, an existential war. It was attacked in a brutal aggression, uh, by the United States and Israel.

I think people should remember that on the first day of the attack, the leaders of Iran were together because they were discussing the next round of negotiation because there was a supposedly a negotiating process underway. That's the American and Mossad style, which is, "Oh,

get the other side to negotiate, and then when they're together, kill them."

That is literally the policy that they followed. They were together to discuss what to say or how to respond in the next round of negotiation that was to take place in Vienna the following week. The Omani mediator had said how much progress had been made, and so Mossad and, uh, Trump and Bibi

thought, "This is a great opportunity to kill all of these people."

And yet Iran has continued to offer more negotiations, though, even with this.

You know, they're very civilized and very nice people.

I know, I know them. They, in my mind, carry a dignity of a civilization that, uh, is 2,500 years old. The history is that Persia's been there a very long time, and the Persian and the Iranian negotiators are very dignified, very intelligent, and very well-educated people,

and the United States and Israel think that they're just targets for assassination.
