Trump says he believes Iran wants to make deal as he extols size of US 'armada'

this whole thing is just super complicated ... like Trump says Iran wants to make a deal but they're being super strict about not compromising on their def and missile capabilities , and now they're all mad at the US for stirring up protests... it's like, why can't they just talk things out?

and what's with Turkey trying to be the mediator here? don't get me wrong, Erdoğan is always trying to play both sides, but I think this could just blow up into something bigger ... and what about those protests in Iran? thousands of people are dying and nobody's doing anything about it

I'm just worried that we're all going to end up getting pulled into some giant conflict because of Trump's ego and Netanyahu's politics... can't they just get along for once?

I think Trump's 'armada' is actually gonna make Iran more open to talks lol . I mean, it's like, they're already saying no to compromising on defense and missile capabilities... if he shows up with a bigger boat, maybe they'll be all like "okay, fine, let's talk". And Turkey stepping in as mediators? That's pretty cool! Maybe we can finally get some progress on this whole Iran-US thing. The fact that Iran is asking for an independent fact-finding committee to look into the protests is a good sign too - it shows they're willing to be transparent about what went down. Fingers crossed, right?

I'm seeing this thing with Trump and Iran all over my feeds . Honestly, I think it's kinda crazy how tense things are right now. The US is trying to make a point about their military presence, but at the same time, they're not being super clear about what their goals are... or if there even are any plans for another operation like in Venezuela.

I'm not sure if anyone really knows what's going on here . But one thing is for sure - the situation with Iran is getting pretty hairy. I mean, protests are happening and people are getting killed, so it's gotta be a big deal. And then you've got Araghchi saying they won't compromise on their defensive capabilities... that's like, a major point of contention right there.

I don't know what the US wants to achieve here . Are they trying to provoke Iran or make them see sense? It feels like a game of chicken at this point. And with Turkey offering to mediate... I'm not sure if that's gonna help things or just add more complexity to the situation.

Anyway, this whole thing is making me super anxious . Can't we all just talk and figure something out peacefully for once?

Trump's comments just seem like another example of him trying to sound tough without actually doing anything. I mean, come on, "armada" this and that... it's just a bunch of ships in the sea. And yeah, he doesn't want to talk about his military actions - that's always a red flag for me. Meanwhile, Iran is trying to negotiate with him, but they're not backing down on their defensive capabilities. I get it, they need to protect themselves.

The thing that really gets me is how the US is piling on pressure and stirring up tensions in Iran... I mean, have you seen those protests? It's like Trump and Netanyahu are trying to provoke a reaction out of them. And then there's Turkey's offer to mediate - now that's what diplomacy looks like.

You know, it's funny how the US always talks about freedom and democracy, but when it comes down to it, they're just as bad at handling crisis situations as anyone else. I'm keeping an eye on this situation, for sure...

I'm worried about where this is all heading . Trump's talk of an "armada" heading to Iran just sounds like more posturing to me. I mean, what's really going on? Is he just trying to save face after the Venezuela debacle? And what about those thousands of protesters who were killed in their own country? It's not right that Iran is being forced to take a backseat while Trump and Netanyahu try to pull the strings from behind the scenes.

I think it's time for some real diplomacy, not just empty threats. Abbas Araghchi is right to stand firm on Iran's defensive capabilities, but at the same time, we need to find a way to address the underlying issues that are driving people to protest in the first place. We can't keep ignoring the economic grievances and human rights concerns.

Mediation services from Turkey? That's a good start, I suppose. But let's not forget that Iran's sovereignty is at stake here. If we don't get this right, it could lead to a whole lot of trouble...

I'm kinda thinking that Trump's "armada" comment is a total joke ... I mean, how can he even know what we're doing with our military forces? It's like he's got his finger on the pulse or something! But at the same time... I don't know, man. Iran might be trying to make a deal, but they also seem super defensive about their missile capabilities . And Trump just won't shut up, you know? He's like "oh, I'm gonna do something" and then he doesn't even tell us what it is . It's all so confusing...
