Trump Slams Iran's Response to Peace Proposal

🚨 JUST IN: Iran informs President Trump he will make a "HUGE MISTAKE" if he DARES resume hostilities — and their President says they'll REFUSE to "bow our heads"

Iran wants to KEEP the nuclear facilities, control over the Strait, and even some uranium

The idea that Iran would not completely destroy all their enrichment facilities as part of a negotiated solution makes no sense. The moratorium - without complete dismantlement of the enrichment facilities and capabilities - truly becomes the JCPOA.

I am certain that Iran’s…

I appreciate President Trump’s earnest efforts to seek a diplomatic solution to change the behavior of the Iranian terrorist regime. However, between their constant attacks on international shipping, the persistent attacks on our Middle Eastern allies and now a totally… https://t.co/bWC5juxzly

Trump's options: Door number 1 - Declare victory; withdraw from war; Door number 2 - more negotiations to reach an agreement; Door number 3 - coercive use of blockade plus air strikes with a Project Freedom plus to challenge Iran's control of Straits. Going with with #3
