Iran wants a way out. Trump is playing this masterfully.

Sounds like Iran is ready to ‘discuss things’ and Pompeo doesn’t want those discussions being undercut by people trying to rush the effort.
Smart move.

Just the opposite of quid pro quo and pay for play.

Its “The Hill”. GOP Establishment propaganda.

There is probably a GS-13 somewhere who is upset that the Secretary of State is acting like he has a role in foreign policy.

Think tactical maneuvers.
Iran Regime will not negotiate, that’s a given.
US must appear to offer Iran Regime negotiation option.
During interim, US must not appear to be supporting rebels inside Iran.
When Iran Regime attacks US, and they will, then this Pompeo gesture goes bye-bye.

Its “The Hill”. GOP Establishment propaganda.
Multiple media outlets may even reach Mitt and Evan McNutthead.

The Rats were drooling for the Mueler report.
How did that work out for them.
The Rats were drooling for the Mueler testimony.
How did that work out for them.
The Rats were drooling for impeachment.
How is that working out for them so far.
Now the Rats are drooling for Bolton testimony.
I wonder how that will work out for them.

I sure hope this was also distributed in French for Pierre Delecto and John French Kerry.

I suspect that this ‘attack’ was part of the discussions - this isn’t World War 1 where you lob and hope, even for Iran.
Also not Trump’s initial response (last night) was not angry.

They might, under the right circumstances. Of course it won’t be sincere.

Do some research on MEK. They’ve had Republican Swamp-rats on their payroll for years. One of the most notable was JOHN BOLTON.

Do you imply that the “attack” was more theater than anything else? That it was pre-arranged so Iran could save face?

“GOP Establishment propaganda.”
Meaning that Pompeo didn’t send a letter like this?
Seems easy to prove.
