In the American and Iranian farce being touted as intelligent negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons development program and its intended use — annihilate Israel and Western nations to establish an Islamic world caliphate, for that is the objective in Iran and always has been the objective — it is Khamenei and Iran being the clearest in all of this.

How can I write such words being a Christ following conservative American who voted for Donald Trump? Easy. I pay attention and as just a regular guy, I discover to my amazement and disappointment that I’m more attuned to the reality and purpose, the intent of Iran and Islam, what is going on culturally in the Middle East than is evidenced by President Trump or anyone in his administration.

I’m more aware and spot on regarding these matters than is Tucker Carlson, who has legions of believers, followers hanging on the lost Carlson’s every word — President Trump being one of those people.

If just a regular nobody guy like me can be aware? Ahh, here’s the key! It isn’t me — it’s the Holy Spirit, it’s my defining and clear faith in the LORD Jesus Christ and beleiving every word in the Word of God in conjunction with reading, discenring, and knowing enough of Middle East history, Islam’s history, the place and importance of Israel to be able to state what I am. About myself and about those who are utterly lost and on the wrong path in this matter.

I’m sure, if you as well are born from above, indwelt of the Holy Spirit, Bible literate, Bible fluent, rightly dividing the Word, knowing the Word, understanding of Israel’s place in everything, knowing the Truine God as I do, that you, also are equally aware, with a much greater awareness of the reality of this situation than is President Trump, and anyone in his administration — perhaps other than Ambassador Huckabee, or Marco Rubio, and definitely more aware than the utterly lost and clueless Witkoff given the position and responsibility he has been handed by President Trump.

I would have a totally different view if President Trump were not treating this most important matter like just another New York City, or other local in the world, real estate deal, just another business deal. And that is exactly how he is doing this.

Because if that were not so President Trump would have a person keenly aware of the Middle East, the culture and history of the Middle East, and the 1979 Iranian revolution, a person keenly aware of the Word of God, a man keenly aware of what Islam truly is — rather than continuing to put the clueless, incomptent, out of his depths Steve Witkoff, a real estate executive at the head of the negotiations.

Negotiations that are going nowhere, and will continue to go nowhere other than granting Iran more time to enrich more weapons-grade uranium and manufacture and place more ICBM missiles pointed at Israel, Europe, and America.

Yet they are meeting again. To achieve nothing. Other than aiding and abetting the enemy of Israel, the enemy of America, the enemy of God, to continue uranium enrichment to nuclear weapons grade, and continue their ICBM rocket program

And everyone just sits and sits and sits and spins and spins and spins and acts as if President Trump, those in his administration and the clueless utterly incomptent out of his depths real estate Executive who knows nothing of the Middle East, knows nothing of Islam, knows nothing of the Holy Bible, knows nothing of Iran are the masters of negotiations and dealmaking and it’s all going to work out well for U.S., for Israel, and the deluded it’s a free world. President Trump will save the day! He wouldn’t have Witkoff as the lead negotiator if Witkoff weren’t qualified.

Because President Trump could or would never make a mistake, have an error in judgment, right?

Yeah, right.

Keep placing the volume and depth of your faith in President Trump and systems of man.

Watch and wait, and get back to me on how this eventually turns out.

Because until and unless President Trump and all those in his administration come to terms with what Islam truly is, what Iran truly is, and stop treating everything and everyone like just another real estate deal, just another business deal, resting on their laurels and previous book sales, and having lost individuals such as Tucker Carlson as advisors this isn’t going to end like many believe.

But have no fear.

President Trump isn’t in control. Neither is Khamenei. Nor any other man or woman.

God is in control.

And if you truly want to know the news, the good news, and how everything turns out there is A Book that has it all contained within its pages and words. Try getting a good copy of it in your hands, open it, and get it into your eyes, your mind, your heart, your spirit and soul. Believing every word. And equipping and preparing yourself — and others — for times such as these.

Oh, and I know the ending and how it all turns out. So can you.

Stop placing faith in mere men and women, in government systems, in anything of this world. You’d think by now more folks would know this, have learned it, and no longer need reminding of this, but woe, such is not the case as evidenced by the times we all are living in.

Khamenei rejects U.S. uranium enrichment demands

 

“The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have enrichment?”

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday defiantly rejected U.S. demands to halt uranium enrichment, declaring that the Islamic Republic will not concede to “the rude and arrogant leaders of America.”

In a televised address, quoted by Reuters and the Associated Press, Khamenei insisted that “uranium enrichment is the key to our nuclear program, and the enemies have focused on the enrichment.” He went on to criticize the latest U.S. proposal, claiming it “contradicts our nation’s belief in self-reliance and the principle of ‘We Can.’”

The 86-year-old cleric added, “The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have enrichment?”

Khamenei also warned that without domestic enrichment capabilities, Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would be effectively paralyzed: “If we had 100 nuclear power plants but no enrichment, they would be useless. Without enrichment, we would have to extend our hand and beg the U.S.”

“Khamenei’s position doesn’t surprise me. I said in real time that I didn’t trust there would be any agreement between the United States and Iran,” Israeli Knesset member Tally Gotliv (Likud) told JNS on Wednesday.

“There was never a chance Iran would agree to a nuclear deal. Israel, as the nation responsible for its own security—and given Khamenei’s stated desire to eliminate the Zionists—should act accordingly and strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israel is fully capable of carrying out such an operation, and I believe that’s exactly what will happen,” she added.

Critics question Iran’s claims that it needs a civilian nuclear program, citing the country’s plentiful natural gas and crude oil. (It ranks second in the world in natural gas reserves and fourth in oil reserves.) In addition, in civilian nuclear power programs, the highest enrichment level for uranium is usually 3-5%. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations allow for a maximum enrichment of 5%.

According to a recently leaked International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report, Iran has intensified its production of uranium enriched up to 60%, a short technical step from the 90% level considered military-grade.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said that the IAEA report shows that “Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program.”

American proposal for nuclear consortium

The latest American offer reportedly proposes the creation of a regional nuclear consortium to enrich uranium for Iran and nearby countries. The framework might allow Iran to continue limited enrichment—reportedly up to 3%—for a transitional period. However, it remains unclear whether Tehran would be required to completely dismantle its independent enrichment infrastructure.

So far, five rounds of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran have taken place, with no final agreement reached.

U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on the matter on Tuesday, writing on social media: “Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” His remarks appeared to directly contradict the reports suggesting that limited enrichment might be allowed under a revised deal.

The reports also conflicted with earlier public assurances from top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, who is currently leading the negotiations with Iran. Both had previously stated that any final agreement would prohibit all uranium enrichment.

Iran’s firm response

On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters that Tehran would reject any proposal that failed to recognize Iran’s right to enrich uranium. His comments, reported by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, came during a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.

Araghchi added that Iran would deliver its formal response to the U.S. offer soon. The proposal was reportedly conveyed by Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi during a weekend visit to Tehran. Oman continues to serve as a key intermediary in the negotiations.
