Trump is single-handedly destroying the entire peace process.

🚨 Trump is throwing a major wrench in the talks in Switzerland as they begin.

While Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff meet with Iranian officials, Trump posts threatens to “hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”

Also- Most of the Israeli public supports continuing the war according to polling. That includes a majority of the left there.

So, this thing is far from over

as long as Trump’s minders refuse to muzzle him negotiations are waste of time…I did think Trump referring to Iranian negotiators as highly paid proxies was kind of an are-you-shitting-me moment…two of Trump’s three stooge emissaries are corrupt billionaires..

How many times can we say--trump is an idiot. He was blaming Bibi for endangering negotiations by continuing to bomb Lebanon, then he pulls a stunt like this. Neither one is serious about peace and the Iranians did the right thing. We get to keep paying for his biggest fiasco.

It looks like Trump threatening to invade Iran, seize the strait and steal their oil hours before negotiations began failed to produce the desired result.
