Iran said on Monday there were no talks under way with the United States and no plans for any meetings, contradicting Donald Trump who had cited talks he said would take place that afternoon as justification for calling off attacks.
Over the weekend Trump repeated a pattern that has emerged throughout the past five months: announcing plans for "massive attacks" on Iran, only to cancel them at the last minute.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei rejected the claim, saying no negotiations with the United States were taking place and no meetings were scheduled. Iran had no plans to host foreign delegations or send negotiators abroad in the coming days, he said.

So the US is running low in missiles...

And the neighboring countries are scared because they'll get the counterstrikes.

Iran doesn’t need weapons. They can just keep playing mind games with Donald Trump until he goes fucking insane.
I hate to admit that I find this incredibly entertaining
I also hate to admit that I miss the hilarious AI generated Lego videos

That is what I meant, but only because I’m old enough to remember what he was like in the 80s and 90s

I find it genuinely astonishing that the US can declare war on other nations without giving any real justifiable reason, they can bomb them over and over and generally fuck everything up, causing global supply issues, and there are absolutely no repercussions at all from any other countries.
Some threats of promises of strong words, but nothing more.
It's genuinely bizarre to me.

Has the US actually declared yet? I thought they were just bombing for the fun of it.

It's not a war, it's an "Excursion," because he'd never heard the word Incursion, so he called it an Excursion, and EVERYBODY, including the media, just went along with it.
WTF?

Short of starting a war with the US no other country can really do anything but the US and they somehow seem to be adamant to let Trump do whatever he wants. I don't know why they would do that, but here we are.

Just a reminder, Trump does not personally want to bomb Iran, he wants to profit from (money, power, influence) the people who want to bomb Iran.
Less, why are people letting Trump do something, more who is supporting and pushing him to do it.

They could institute sanctions, like Canada taxing American bourbon.

Most likely Trump wanted to nuke them again but got a stirn no from the generals AGAIN.
This happened before so it's not a joking matter. He'll definitely try again. He really wants to be one of the presidents who dropped a nuke.

He wants history to remember him as literally anything other than a pedophile rapist.

I suppose he will end up being remembered as both. He is gonna be in a lot of awful chapters in history books.

Trump claims they called him up, and begged him not to bomb them. Again. I think this was the 40th time, no kidding.
It's nothing but stock market manipulation, and the media plays right along with it, even though it's obvious what he's doing.
When we finally take back America, and make across the board reforms, the media has some answering to do for the poor job they've done in exposing MAGA corruption.
