The Bombshell That Reveals Why Negotiations With Iran Were Never Going to Work

So while Barack Obama patted himself on the back for his nuclear deal with Iran as some breakthrough, while the international community insisted for years that "diplomacy" and "monitoring" of Iran was working, Iran was quietly running circles around every inspector and every agreement ever put in front of them.

Iran is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. The regime has funded proxy wars, armed Hezbollah, backed Hamas, and spent decades chanting for the destruction of Israel and the United States. The idea that another round of diplomacy was going to stop them was pure fantasy. Donald Trump did what had to be done, and there's now a real chance for the people of Iran to be free, and for there to be peace in the Middle East. I know some people will just oppose it because they oppose everything Trump does.

For those who are actually persuadable, new information from Steve Witkoff has come to light that should change how they view this conflict. Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy for Middle East talks, gave a stunning account on Fox News of how those pre-strike negotiations unfolded. The picture he painted is not the one most Americans have in their heads.

In the very first meeting, Iran didn't comewithhat in hand. Witkoff said Iranian negotiators opened by declaring their "undeniable right to enrich all of their nuclear fuel"—and then dropped a bombshell. "In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% [enrichment] and they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So that's—they were proud of it."

That was their opening line. This wasn't a reluctant admission dragged out by tough questioning. Not a secret that slipped out. They were boasting about it. Iranian negotiators walked into the room and led with it.

And Witkoff wasn't done: "They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
