Iran's desperate mullahs are scrambling back to nuclear negotiations in Geneva this week, but this time they're facing a very different America – one led by President Trump who isn't afraid to back diplomacy with the credible threat of military force.
The third round of indirect talks kicked off Thursday under dramatically different circumstances than the failed Obama-Biden appeasement era. While the Iranian regime blusters about potential "attacks across the Middle East," they're the ones who came running to the negotiating table as Trump's maximum pressure campaign squeezes their terror-sponsoring economy.
This is exactly what real leadership looks like, Patriots. Unlike the previous administration's disastrous approach of shipping pallets of cash to Tehran in the dead of night, Trump's team is negotiating from a position of strength.
Iran Feels the Heat
The timing isn't coincidental. Iran's currency has collapsed, their people are protesting in the streets, and their proxy terror networks are being systematically dismantled across the region. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Trump foreign policy team have made it crystal clear that all options remain on the table.
"The Iranian regime understands they're dealing with a president who keeps his promises," a senior administration official told reporters. "There will be no more billion-dollar bribes or backroom deals that endanger our allies."
The stark contrast with Biden's weakness couldn't be more obvious. Where Biden begged Iran to return to his precious nuclear deal, Trump forces them to come to us.
Iran's threats of regional retaliation ring hollow when they're the ones desperately seeking sanctions relief. Their economy is in shambles, their military capabilities have been degraded, and their people are sick of funding terrorism while they struggle to put food on the table.
This is how America should negotiate – not from our knees, but from our feet, with our allies at our side and our military ready to act if diplomacy fails.
Will Iran finally abandon their nuclear weapons program, or will they test President Trump's resolve? One thing's certain: they won't be getting any more midnight cash deliveries from this administration.
