- Note the reason why talks were briefly cancelled. Trump should be asked: If he's only interested in preventing Iran from getting the bomb, as he says, why did the US threaten to walk away from Iran-US talks if non-nuclear issues (missiles, etc) were off the table? Trump is clearly lying.
- Israeli TV presenter explaining why so many more people have been killed in recent days in Gaza: "For the first time, there are no Israeli hostages - living or dead - on the soil of the Gaza Strip. This completely frees the IDF to attack, and you see the results." From @ireallyhateyou.bsky.social
- "[Araghchi] stressed that Iran will not negotiate over its ballistic missile program..." As I have been saying, the reason there hasn't been any real negotiations since the 12-day war is Trump's insane insistence that Iran must agree to become defenseless to Israeli bombing. 1/2
- Iran's Foreign Minister Says Tehran Ready To Resume Nuclear Talks With U.S. @axios.com #Iran Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said at a press conference Friday that Iran is ready to resume nuclear talks with the U.S. but stressed the Trump administration needs to stop threatening an attack…
- Trump in recent days is pivoting to the nuclear issue because he must have been told that war to ensure that Israel can bomb Iran with impunity is going to be a hard sell. 2/2
- Iran is open to negotiating about its nuclear program, but Trump wants it to limit its missile program so that its missiles can't reach Israel - a completely unreasonable demand, as the NYT notes here. So Trump is going to send young people to their deaths so that Israel can bomb Iran with impunity.
- God. This is frightening. His mental acuity is so dramatically diminished Trump Threatens Iran With ‘Massive Armada’ and Presses a Set of Demands www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...
