The framework would defer nuclear enrichment talks until there is a deal to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, a senior Iranian official told Drop Site.
Which side in this conflict has shown the most consistency and restraint in both negotiations and past response to recent attacks and long-term, hostile sanctions? Considering Iran's diplomatic efforts to avoid harm to civilians and the USA and Israeli's seeming intent to endanger civilians and key civilian structures, like schools, hospitals and infrastructure, with threats to do irreparable harm, while acting against a nation that caused no harm to the USA mainland. It seems that destructive behaviors from Iran are mainly against a whole region that is innocent of causing harm, with destructive force confined to, nations in the Arab republics where USA bases have been established and are used to attack Iran. This understanding is clear to people and governments around the world, it is clear that Iran is the force to trust and should be the one to set terms that are consistent, reliable and in the best interest of the region. They are the least likely to change their minds the next day and do something that puts peace and people at risk. Trump and his "mind" and "feelings" are not reliable. Israel certainly is not. Either the three nations, USA, Iran and Israel, turn negotiations fully over to the UN to decide or the USA must accept peace terms to Iran's better judgement. and reliability.
The UN has taken the side of America WAY too many times to be reliable. Yes, so far Iran has won militarily and morally. The main problem still seems to be war-mongering Israel, and their lackey UAE.
This is a new path for the UN, backed up by an international peace-keeping force whose leverage is the presence of their military and young people in the game. Death of these Peace-Keeper mean sanctions and reprisals in trade and boycotts of Israel, by their nations. The world will be and act against the survival of the future of Israel. You would have tens of thousands from nations around the globe who would volunteer for that Peacekeeping army. You might get MANY from the ranks of future Isreli Military who would rather keep the Peace than make war. They can act as Peace keepers within neighboring areas with most from Europe and the Americas in Israel/Palestein. Do the call out UN, and see who signs up to serve. Many will be retired and former military and reservists in an international effort to replace active military in Israel ,with Peacekeepers. They have killed enough. Save then, along with Palestinain lives.
This article exposes the core truth Washington keeps trying to bury: the U.S. isn’t “negotiating” with Iran—it’s stalling for time while clinging to a fantasy of military leverage that no longer exists. Iran is putting forward concrete, verifiable steps. The U.S. answer is the same tired imperial reflex: demand everything, concede nothing, and threaten more violence when reality intrudes.
Trump’s erratic lurching between ceasefire whispers and “decisive strikes” isn’t strategy; it’s the pathology of a government that can’t admit it lost the initiative months ago. Every regional actor—Pakistan, China, Europe, the Gulf states—has already adjusted to the new balance of power. Only Washington is still pretending that the Strait of Hormuz can be pried open by force or that Iran can be coerced into surrendering its sovereignty.
The sequencing dispute isn’t a technicality. It’s the whole story. Iran wants the war ended before nuclear talks. The U.S. wants nuclear capitulation before ending the war. One side is offering a path out; the other is demanding a trophy.
If Trump chooses escalation over a workable diplomatic framework, it won’t be a “last wave” of strikes—it will be a deliberate choice to detonate the global economy and widen a war with no strategic endpoint. And the article makes one thing brutally clear: Iran is prepared for that scenario in a way the U.S. is not.
The danger isn’t Iran’s terms. The danger is an American political class so intoxicated by its own mythology that it would rather burn the region down than acknowledge the limits of its power.
Thank you Jeremy for this exclusive. The world probably hopes that Trump will realize its time to DEAL in good faith with a brave worthy adversary and see that Israel has a different agenda than the US.
The problem with looking for reasonable solutions to the conflict is that, much like Hitler in the 1930s, Trump always lies, and sometimes simultaneously attacks while he lies.
No matter the nature of the outcome, Israel will want more and Trump and Netanyahu are incapable of acting in good faith. The World is counting on Iran to neutralize these greedy obscene .
Trump and team seem intent on not only taking the US down a path to oblivion, but the entire global economic matrix with it. This article verifies that other previously aligned countries are now making their own agreements with Iran to circumvent the US quagmire. I’m encouraged that little by little, other nations are distancing themselves from US influence. We’ve arrived to where not only is the world calling it quits on US imperial hegemony, but so are the majority of its citizens. Too bad we don’t have something resembling a socialist democracy.
And what is in this for these non-aligned countries? They would undoubtedly have brutal U.S. sanctions imposed. Iran already had that right under the treaty Obama negotiated and Trump tore it up. The U.S. is engaging in starving & eliminating other countries like Cuba. Let all the fair-minded countries in the world get oil and solar products, food and medications to Cuba.
Trump, a man whose chief ability is to make himself look foolish on a daily basis has truly gone to the limit with the war for Israel on Iran. He loves to make it appear that world events are solely his to determine and that whatever he does is a success. He truly believes the motto that was used under Hitler applies to him: "Everything the Fuehrer says is right". Fortunately, most Americans think differently.
Based on this report from DropSite the deal that he claims to be near is as far away as ever. He is in a jam that cannot be finessed while waiting only sinks him deeper as gasoline and aviation fuel prices go on up and shortages start outside of the US.
The only good thing about this mess is that Israel's hold on the US has been revealed, first by Joe Biden proudly declaring himself a Zionist as he joined Netanyahu in war criminality and now with Trump putting the world's only superpower at the service of Israel. This hypocrisy of the land of liberty and justice for all being all in to defend ethnic cleansing is fact beyond doubt. Unlike fuel prices that at some point will stop rising, the decline of Israel in US public opinion will never stop dropping until the link is broken. That prospect in these dark times is reason for cheer. Speed the day!
I can't think of a ingle thing Trump has succeeded at : not his family life, not his relationship with Epstein, not casinos, not six bankruptcies, and certainly not his Presidency. He's a "screw up" (as his mother reportably told him as a little kid)...and truer words were never spoken.
But think bigger, Trump is a symptom here. U.S. imperial domination over much the world will still exist even if Iran won everything it wants. Kamala would have given Netanyahu the go-ahead to do the same thing Trump is doing, just more covertly. Obviously all previous administrations, Republicans & Democrats have. Israel is a British creation and a tool of the 1% in the Middle East. Nothing changes if Israel is still functioning.
The term “Red neck” is not useful here. Working class Americans will all go crazy if Trump tries to start a ground war. They will not let their children die while Baron Trump lives on to replace his father in the 1%. Work with orgs organizing across class & regional lines and keep everyone’s kids safe.

Thanks very much for this report. Iran appears to be the only player in this war that has a sensible plan to resolve it.
My favorite thing about Drop Site is they are the only US based source I fully trust with news about Iran.
So true. I would add The Grayzone also.
Why don't the non-aligned countries of the world issue an agreement on the rights of Iran, including nuclear options like many other countries have?
And what is in this for these non-aligned countries? They would undoubtedly have brutal U.S. sanctions imposed. Iran already had that right under the treaty Obama negotiated and Trump tore it up. The U.S. is engaging in starving & eliminating other countries like Cuba. Let all the fair-minded countries in the world get oil and solar products, food and medications to Cuba.

This kind of thing needs to stop
If Trump renews strikes, can we impeach him?
Any more damage inflicted on Iran will only increase the bill.
However the frozen assets are, forgive the pun, chilling! However very dare they?! The US really takes the piss.

Except that if they knew ground troops have no chance of achieving anything they might not wish to sacrifice themselves
