Translated from German

Since 02/27, it hasn't been this quiet anymore. News flow since the Situation Room meeting has nearly come to a complete halt. Nothing has leaked out either. No threat, no ultimatum from Trump regarding the SoH. Nada!

Very unusual. Calm before the storm? Just a feeling.

The ceasefire is drawing to a close.

Combat power is converging, waiting for the appointed hour to strike.

The remnants of the Iranian regime hierarchy is oblivious to the situation.

Rumors say China sent more SAMs & radars to Iran & that likely made the Iranians foolishly think they are protected from what’s coming. Pride is a deadly sin.

The Iranian regime still hasn’t learned that lesson.

Sie suchen verzweifelt nach einem Weg, die Schuld dafür den Juden zuzuschieben.

Not sure if you guys are using AI to translate, but that's perfect German. If not, how did you learn it? Tested high C1 myself on the Goethe exam, still a long way from C2/native though.

This entire military operation in Iran, has been about destroying Iran’s nuclear program, AND proving that the Obama administration is responsible for it.

That’s why Trump repeatedly says the “nuclear dust” is the number one most important thing in negotiations. He doesn’t just want Iran to sign a deal not to make nukes. He wants the Uranium from Fordow, so the US MIL can use nuclear forensics to confirm the origins of all the uranium. US MIL Intelligence knows exactly where it came from, they are just there to confirm what they already know.

Trump is in Iran to gather incontrovertible evidence. Isotopic signatures. Nuclear fingerprints.

This is why all propaganda assets have been deployed, why both the Left and woke-Right squeal so loudly about Iran, and why there is so much disinformation online about the situation in Iran.

Trump is about to secure the smoking gun that will take down the Obama administration, hence why the traitors are in such a panic.

It’s happening, and they know they can’t do anything to stop it

Using Google Translate I wish I spoke German. My ancestry is largely German and it's been a language I'd like to learn eventually.

President Donald Trump returned to the White House after spending the afternoon at Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC, according to press pool reporters.

Earlier in the day, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he would have more information on Iran “by the end of the day today.” A “hard lid” has since been called, meaning no further public events or official movements are expected for the rest of the day.

US Congressman Greg Steube said on Saturday that “America is in charge” and warned against trusting Iran, describing it as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

"President Trump holds all the cards. Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. They will not be allowed to spread terror. They can either comply or it gets worse for them," Steube said during an interview with News Nation.

Ghalibaf signals the Islamic Republic is ready for war and diplomacy may be dead.

“I am ready for martyrdom. We are ready both to shed blood and to endure deep hardship.”

It will be a joyful day for Iranians when one of Iran’s most corrupt and brutal criminals is ‘martyred.’


Someone please send him some coordinates to the nearest parking lot next to him and have him stand there. We will gladly make him a "martyr"

The Pakistani delegation was till this evening in Tehran trying to secure a clear Iranian response to the U.S. demands. Not clear till the moment what was the outcome.
Yet the atmosphere wasn’t till early hours of the evening close to optimism.
There seems to be insistence in Tehran on sticking to the original redlines regarding enrichment and the HEU stockpiles.
The status of the strait also depends on the U.S. decision to lift the blockade.
Pakistan is still exerting efforts to find any possible breakthrough to prevent the resumption of hostilities.
The fragile truce in Lebanon is casting its shadows too on the scene, with clear insistence from the leadership to tie all the files together.
The announced visit of Quds force commander Esmail Qaani to Baghdad to discuss the selection of a prime minister demonstrates an Iranian signal they’re not giving up their influence in Iraq, despite all pressure and that the war has changed nothing in their regional policy.
What’s next?
All depends on what’s the next step from Washington.

We realized it before the talks began. We did not have a cease fire so that we could get a deal. We had a cease fire to rest and reload. We had a cease fire to talk to many of their people to find out which ones we could turn.

Maybe. We really don’t know.
