Of course America and Iran are “at odds” in nuclear weapons talks. Steve Witkoff should never have become the American envoy in any talks with any Islamist nation, state, or organization. He is a duck out of water, utterly naive, and approaches every talk — he was duped by Hamas and admits it now, but he’s still the main U.S. envoy. What does that say about the wisdom at the top sending him repeatedly? — Mr. Witkoff and everyone in any position in the U.S. government ought to take about 18 seconds and learn about Al-Taqiya, or Taqiyya, the practice in Islam, from the Qur’an, that endorses, promotes lying to infidels, non-Islamists, to promote Islam.

Iran’s regime is laughing at America, the “Great Satan,” to them. The sound of their laughter probably rises above the chants of “Death to America!” from the paid protestors of Tehran’s squares and streets.

Yes, President Trump realizes Iran is dragging their feet. Stalling. That ought to be a large flashing light with blaring sirens to all elected and appointed officials in America, along with every American citizen.

Wake up, wise up to the reality of Iran, of Islam.

Iran has had the dream [nightmare] of processing enough uranium to nuclear weapons grade for DECADES. It has been their main focus in conjunction with creating and backing the myriad proxies they have to do their fighting, maintain their terrorism, fuel their hatred of Israel, and America.

The Iranian nuclear weapons research and development project — their own Manhattan Project — is where they have spent the bulk of their revenues, to the detriment of the Iranian people. They have neglected their infrastructure, the Iranian people, to maintain their white hot blind hatred of Israel, of Jews, of America, and the West.

They have not come as far, as close as they have — within days, or at most a couple of weeks of taking the enriched uranium they have [estimates are enough to make at least six nuclear weapons] to now abandon it all and alighn themselves with American and Israeli demands of NO nuclear wpeaons for Iran.

They will not comply. The enriched uranium they presently have is only at most a couple of weeks away from being processed to nuclear weapons grade. Notice the evil smiles on the faces in the photo above as their authorities visit some of their “nuclear accomplishments.”

Iran only agreed to talks in order to stall. To continue enriching the uranium they have with the knowledge they have only days, or a week or two at most, from having weapons grade uranium.

Then on to building the bombs to carry out their decades long nightmare of being a nuclear weapons nation able to unleash nuclear bomb destruction on Israel and the West.

Wake up, folks!

The only tenable course to take is to destroy every centrifuge in Iran. To destroy every instrument, every part, every underground and above ground facility created with the sole purpose of building nuclear weapons. To put Iran back 100 years in its military abilities.

And not look back in doing so.

It is the only course to take.

Talking to Iran, talking to such evil, dedicated to destruction, consumed with hatred Islamists avails nothing other than giving them more time to carry out their desires.

Of course, the talks are at odds. Iran is playing America, playing Witkoff for the stooge he is, how naive he and many in the American government are with regard to Iran and Islam.

It’s a good thing to see and hear President Trump state NO nuclear weapons for Iran and be firm in his words regarding that.

Why then send Witkoff and allow Iran to control matters?

If having knowledge of Iran’s stalling, and having the intelligence of how far along they are in uranium enrichment, and how much, why continue to allow Iran to control things?

I’m not for war, death, and destruction — but comes a time when a known enemy, truly evil, must be halted and their darkness snuffed out by the light that knows better and is on the correct side.

Nothing about the Iranian regime is about righteousness, being on the right side.

This has been evident to anyone with ears and eyes for decades.

What are we waiting for? Why allow Iran more time?

It makes no sense.

But…it’s all in God’s hands, is it not? God will intervene. God will only permit Iran to advance if his people turn from Him and do not repent, do not place Him and His Son in their hearts, spirits, minds and actions. And from what has been evident in the Trump administration is a turning to the One True God.

So, God will prevail.

As long as His people clearly remain His people and do not sway, appease, or allow themselves to be deceived by evil.

Simple as that, really.

Do not let your heart or mind be troubled or fearful.

It’s going to get worse, a whole lot worse with the passing of time, each day. The intensity is intensifying. Daily. Every prophetic word in the Word of God is coming to be right before our eyes and ears. We live in the last of the last days.

All the pieces are being aligned for the coming Ezekiel 38 war.

For the Rapture of the Church.

For the fall of Western Europe — or the complete fall of Western Europe and the emergence of that spawn of Satan, the Antichrist and his false prophet, and the final years of this world as it has been known, and the horrific Great Tribulation.

One last thought before turning you over to the article below…

What occurred to Pharaoh, to all of Egypt [except where the Israelites lived], when Moses demanded “let my people go,” and the plagues befell Egypt? Those plagues align closely with the worldwide plagues to befall the people of this sinful, lost earth after the Rapture, with the Antichrist and his false prophet installed.

The wrath of God was revealed against Pharaoh and Egypt, the Exodus, the first one, a continued Exodus through the historical timeline of this world, to the wrath of God being poured out not on only one nation, one people to free His people and fulfill His covenant, His promise, His Word — but what is coming is God’s wrath poured out on all the world and it’s lost people enslaved to the beast, even having his name branded into their flesh, seeing him as god.

God’s wrath on the world, the seven plagues worldwide are to finally, after all this time free His people. To finally have His people, those who remain alive, acknowledge His Son, Jesus, born in Bethlehem, raised in Galilee, God Who lived among us to die and conquer death, to walk out of the tomb and ascend to heaven, the first fruits, fulfilling God’s eternal promises.

In order for that to happen a lot, a whole lot of horrific things beyond comprehension to folks must take place.

It’s just how it is. How it must be.

Due to our sin, our beligerance, our stubbornness, our love of the world, and our turning from our Creator.

And for God’s chosen people to finally see, hear, and acknowledge Jesus as Messiah. Yeahua Hamashiach!

It’s how it must be due to the hardness of hearts. The closed minds. The dead spirits. The lusts and love of the world.

Iran will be dealt with. Iran will not destroy Israel. Read the Bible about the enemies, the overwhelming in greater men of war, chariots, horses, and weapons, the armies of the world that came against Israel throughout time. Learn the truth.

Learn the reality of the Immutable God.

There is no Old Testament God and then a different version New Testament God.

Spend time in Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, and the books of the most important history of our world. All pointing to Jesus, and the final Exodus of God’s people at the end of the Great Tribulation, and then the eternal triumphant return of the LORD Jesus Christ to Jerusalem, and all the world.

U.S., Iran at odds ahead of nuclear talks: Tehran says uranium enrichment is “non-negotiable”

Wednesday, April 16, 2025

By Ben Wolfgang

Reprinted from The Washington Times

There are clear divisions between the U.S. and Iran ahead of high-stakes nuclear negotiations this weekend.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters Wednesday that his country must be allowed to continue enriching uranium — a stance that seems to put Tehran at odds with new positions laid out by the Trump administration a day earlier.

“Iran’s enrichment is a real, accepted matter. We are ready to build confidence in response to possible concerns, but the issue of enrichment is non-negotiable,” Mr. Araghchi said, according to English-language media accounts of his comments.

His words came just hours after U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff indicated that all of Iran’s nuclear-enrichment activities, including the enrichment of uranium, would not continue under the terms of a new nuclear deal.

“A deal with Iran will only be completed if it is a Trump deal. Any final arrangement must set a framework for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Middle East — meaning that Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program,” Mr. Witkoff wrote on X. “It is imperative for the world that we create a tough, fair deal that will endure, and that is what President Trump has asked me to do.”

Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Araghchi met last weekend in Oman. They’re expected to meet again this weekend in Italy.

One of the key questions has been whether the U.S. will insist on the full dismantlement of Iran’s plutonium production and uranium enrichment programs or accept something short of that. Analysts generally agree that right now, Iran’s uranium enrichment efforts are at a point where it could make enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear weapon within days.

The construction of a nuclear bomb itself would take significantly longer.

Mr. Witkoff’s most recent comments seem to be a reversal from earlier this week, when he suggested in an interview with Fox News that Iran would be allowed to enrich uranium up to 3.67%.

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by the U.S. under then-President Obama, limited Iran’s uranium enrichment to that 3.67% level, which is enough to produce nuclear power but not enough for a weapon. Mr. Trump pulled the U.S. out of that deal during his first term. Mr. Trump and other critics said the 2015 agreement left open pathways for Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb and also did not address Tehran’s support for terrorist groups, among other shortcomings.

In February, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran has more than 600 pounds of uranium enriched up to 60%. That was an increase of 204 pounds since the IAEA’s previous report last November, showing the rapid acceleration of Iran’s enrichment.

That 60% material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.

The Trump administration has made clear that it will not allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon and that military strikes are on the table if the two nations cannot make a deal.
