“A senior Iranian legislator has called for the United States and Iran to hold talks in Iraq or Qatar to defuse tensions amid a US military build-up in the Gulf.”

A fine idea — get rid of your mullahs first.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick”

This is exactly what Trump has been doing that is getting Iran to face reality.

J f’n Kerry, and DiFi should be locked up in Guantanamo prior to any talks. They are both a huge security risk going in.

While POTUS should not publicly announce preconditions, his team should take a hard line once they arrive.

However, the Iranian Parliament has no power and this guy is nobody. They might hang him tomorrow.

I'm for talking... always.

Talking never hurts. Even if you kill them later.

“citing attempts by “third-parties” to “

yeah, like the New York Times for one, trying to trick Iran into escalating by making them think Trump has taken some options off the table ... pretty astute for them to not fall for it ...

We should Gift Wrap John Brennen and hand his Treasonous ass over to Iran for a Hanging as a token gift for all the meddling the CIA did to their country in the 1950’s.
