While President Trump’s position on Iran tends to change with little notice, he backed away from his insistence that he doesn’t want war with Iran on Monday, saying now of the war “it could go either way, and I’m OK either way it goes.”

Trump added that it’s “getting harder for me to want to make a deal with Iran” in the first place, because he views them as “behaving very badly,” and are “the number one state of terror in the world.”

Trump followed this up by announcing new sanctions against China, saying they were intended to punish them for “accepting crude oil.” This is likely to be a bigger problem for US-China ties than Iran, as Iran is already heavily sanctioned.

If Trump’s new bellicose stance sticks, this could be a major shift in US hostility toward Iran. President Trump has been one of the few top officials insisting he didn’t want a war as administration hawks continued to talk of a conflict as all but inevitable. If Trump is indeed “OK either way” on the war, it’s not going to be any secret that his top aides will be pushing him to choose war over peace.

At the first indication they're serious about achieving "Death to America!", they turn to glass.

I'm OK with that, too.
We're better than them. We're better than any deathcult Mooslum, as a matter of fact. How has any Moo ever improved my nation?

A peaceful stance in the world must not be allowed to be a suicide pact when facing down evil, defective lunatics.

How many nukes do you need to turn to glass the mountainous country with the size of Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico together?

While President Trump’s position on Iran tends to change with little notice, he backed away from his insistence that he doesn’t want war with Iran on Monday, saying now of the war “it could go either way, and I’m OK either way it goes.”

Pure propaganda.

https://nypost.com/2019/07/22/trump-calls-iran-a-very-mixed-up-country-as-tensions-grow/

“Instead of being respectful, they put their finger up in the air,” Trump said, showing his thumb. “And they disrespected the United States. They shouldn’t have done that. That was a big mistake.”

“If they want to make a deal, it’s frankly getting harder for me to want to make a deal with Iran because they’ve behaved very badly. They’re saying bad things. I’ll tell you, it could go either way, very easily. Very easily. And I’m OK either way it goes.”

Trump was clearly speaking of making, or not making, a deal with Iran. He was not speaking of an as yet non-existent war, nor of a future war.

https://www.apnews.com/e6bd6334ff4148f2985de059f93dc390

Deal critics, including Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, say the waivers should be revoked because they give Iran access to technology that could be used for weapons. In particular, they have targeted a waiver that allows conversion work at the once-secret Fordow site. The other facilities are the Bushehr nuclear power station, the Arak heavy water plant and the Tehran Research Reactor.

Deal supporters say the waivers give international experts a valuable window into Iran’s atomic program that might otherwise not exist. They also say some of the work, particularly on nuclear isotopes that can be used in medicine at the Tehran reactor, is humanitarian in nature.

Trump has been coy about his plans. He said this past week that “it could go either way very easily. Very easily. And I’m OK either way it goes.”

Trump was clearly speaking of making, or not making, a deal with Iran. He was not speaking of an as yet non-existent war, nor of a future war.

Trump says it is getting harder for him to want to negotiate with Iran

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that it is getting harder for him to want to make a deal with Iran and said the situation could go either way very easily.

Trump was clearly speaking of making, or not making, a deal with Iran. He was not speaking of an as yet non-existent war, nor of a future war.

Try bringing a source that is not pure lying propaganda.

The Iranians don't want to find out either, so in the end, they'll deal.

The wonderful thing about this particular dispute is that there is going to be a result, so when it comes one of us will be able to point at what happened and say to the other "Told ya so".

I'm going to enjoy that.
