Iran will probably turn up for talks with the US in Pakistan - Pakisten

Sky News: Reports in its 7.35pm post the following, " Pakistan says Iran likely to attend US talks as Trump ceasefire deadline nears "

Let's Get Real:

Thus it seems that Tehran as going to come to the talks, it will be interesting talks, as Trump will have to make concessions from the perspective of Tehran, they know that they have POTUS over a barrel.  The Trump Oval wants out, and he has sent his VP to take the political arrows if the deal falls flat in Washington D.C.  There are reports that their will be time limits on Iran's nuclear stockpile, that they could enrich it after 20 years, another President in the White House who will have to deal with the issue.  The US could be allowing Iran to have a toll on the Strait of Hormuz, that will not down well with the Gulf States and European States.   Trump is no Truman, JFK or Reagan.

Trump on Iran Deal - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 5.57am post, " Trump says deal with Iran will happen 'relatively quickly'...He also denies that he is under "pressure" to make a deal. "

Let's Get Real:

At least the sounds out of the Trump Oval are good, before it looked liked the Tehran Delegation would not turn up.  They must know that they have Trump over a barrel, he wants out of the Iran War, he wants a another WIN to his so called title of Peacemaker when it comes to 10 Wars! He still wants a that illusive Nobel Prize.   It will be interesting to see who concessions he gives to Iran, that they can keep their nuclear stockpile or run the Strait of Hormuz  as they like.  The question is how will sell the deal to the US public after being so critical of Obama's deal.  That is the problem of electing a reality tv show star to the Oval.

US Navy takes Iranian ship in to custody - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 8.26pm post the following, " US Navy seizes Iranian ship trying to pass naval blockade, Trump says "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump statement is packed up by Force, on top of Trump sending a delegation to Pakistan, the same meeting that Iran has stated its not going too! If it was not so serious it would be a British farce.

US off to Pakistan AGAIN for Talks - Update

BBC News:  Reports in its 1.21pm post the following  " Trump: US team heading to Pakistan for talks with Iran "

Let's Get Real:

This could be it from Trump, take this ďeal or else.   There are only so many times can do a TACO moments, the Iranian's can only hope for so long that the Democrats will come to rescue them, North Vietam had the right instincts about the Congressional Democtrats in 1975.

Iran Does not want another meeting with US - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.54pm post, " Iran is not yet ready to hold a new round of face-to-face talks with US officials, a senior Iranian official said Saturday, citing Washington’s refusal to abandon “maximalist” demands on key issues. "

Let's Get Real:

In other words Tehran thinks time is running out for Trump when it comes to the Hill.   There is a weekly War powers Vote by the Democrats, thus far the Republicans have been solidy behind Trump, wil this change if American ground troops are needed to get Iran's nuclear stockpile or dust as called by Trump after last year's bombing.

Iran tried to blackmail US again -Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.53pm post the following, " They wanted to close up the strait again, as they've been doing for years, they can't blackmail us, Trump stated. " 

Let's Gets Clear.

This was Trump's warning Iran off, Trump comes from the tough World of New York Real estate, all his existence is about the DEAL, one would like to think he has learned something about Foreign Affairs. The dreaded Munich Agreement of 1938, and political ramifications, the War in 1939.  

Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz- Update

BBC News: Reports in its 9.38am post the following, " Iran's military closes Strait of Hormuz again - state media  "

Let's Get Real:

The US has Iran by the throat, it either gives up its nuclear stockpile or face the blocking of Iranian oil money, that keeps the Regime going.  The Tehran Regime will fold in a few hours, they need the money.

Update: BBC News reports that tankers have been fired upon in the Strait of Hormuz.
