Keep with your lack of precise planning angle as the US and israeli military prove you to be clueless each day.

That's exactly the kind of irrelevant response I would expect from a Trump stooge. Hey, I hope he is telling the truth for a change. It's entirely on Trump if people have little trust in what he claims

Lol, chasing the loss is the best part of gambling. Who cares if you win $5,000... you have to get that $300 back that you lost on BJ and eventually lose everything.
If I had a casino, a bar, and a dope house; I truly think I could resist addiction from all aside from the casino. Terrible habit.

Provide links to these articles. First one I checked says you’re wrong.

Yes — Reuters has reported claims about talks, but the situation is conflicting and unclear.

Here’s the accurate summary based on Reuters reporting:

✅ What Reuters says did happen (claims of talks)​

  • Reuters reported that U.S. President Donald Trump said talks had taken place between U.S. representatives and Iran.
  • He described “major points of agreement” and suggested a deal could be close. (Reuters)
  • These alleged discussions were said to involve U.S. envoys like Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. (Reuters)

❌ What Reuters also reports (denials)​

  • Iran has denied that any talks are happening—both direct and indirect. (Reuters)
  • Iranian officials have even suggested the claims are misinformation or meant to influence markets. (Reuters)

⚠️ The key nuance​

  • Reuters makes clear there are “conflicting messages”:
    • The U.S. side claims discussions or progress.
    • Iran says no negotiations are taking place.
  • Some reports indicate possible indirect contacts via mediators, but nothing confirmed as formal talks. (Reuters)

Bottom line​

  • Yes, Reuters reported that the U.S. claims talks are occurring.
  • But at the same time, Reuters also reports that Iran denies those talks entirely.
So the most accurate interpretation is:
👉 Claims of talks exist, but they are disputed and not independently confirmed.

The popular theory is that Trump saw the market and oil futures overnight and created his own off ramp for his threats to bomb Iranian power plants by making up talks.

Hope he is telling the truth but don't know what to believe at this point

This.

I gotta hand it to Trump - it's a very clever way to simultaneously save face given he wasn't going to actually follow through on his empty threat to bomb the Iranian power grid (and have them retaliate by bombing our allies' soft target infrastructure like desalinization plants) AND he calmed the financial markets by restoring a (likely false) premise that we're in negotiations to end the war and/or at least talking.

Oh, and this stall technique (5 day pause) also allows our military time to restock our air defense systems that we've been apparently blowing through, and perhaps time to fix our aircraft carrier which had to go to port.

It takes an astonishing level of gall to flat out lie to the American people like this, but nothing... I repeat... nothing that Little Donnie does would surprise me.

Just one problem... if this premise is true, at some point the truth will likely creep out into the sunlight and markets will continue their routs and Trump's "credibility" will tank even further.

Also, if we are talking to the Iranians, who exactly are we talking to? Were they “obliterated” like Iran’s nuclear program?
  • Date: March 20, 2026
  • Quote: “there are no leaders left in Iran to talk to about the war”
This was reported by Reuters in a story datelined WASHINGTON, March 20, 2026, describing remarks Trump made that day as U.S. strikes were targeting Iranian officials.

Reality: Trump lied. There have been no “very good and productive conversations” and of course no “major points of agreement.”

Seems markets figuring this out now…

Reuters cites sources in Turkey; CBS sites administration sources; many places cite Axios who cites sources in the administration. Pretty sure no independent reporters were invited to sit in on the calls, so the best you’re going to get are unnamed sources and you will have to judge the credibility based on the agency doing the reporting.

Bottom line, you can laugh all you want, I don’t give a rats ass what you and @MontyPython believe. We will find out what’s happening later this week.
