Iran’s foreign minister saying Iran’s proposal for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict with the U.S. still stands…
American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own.
Our 2-day proposal stands: meet the requirements, including end to war on all fronts, and you will see results.
Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell.

President Donald Trump said that it is "highly unlikely" he will need to order the US back to war with Iran as long as there is progress in negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, repeating his assertion five times during an interview with CNN. cnn.com/2026/11/08/pol…

For 60 years, the US and Israel have played coy, with neither acknowledging the development of Israel's nuclear arsenal. It has helped the US maintain a public stance against additional countries developing nuclear weapons and helped Israel avoid questions about how (or whether) at stasis may be shifting as other countries in the region advance their nuclear programs. cnn.it/489Sqvg

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE PUSHES TO AVOID ANOTHER WAR WITH IRAN
Senior White House officials are increasingly rallying behind VP JD Vance's approach: avoid renewed military action against Iran and pursue a diplomatic off-ramp.
Their argument? The American people have spoken.
The historic midterm election results have sent a clear message: Americans do NOT want another war.
Officials advocating restraint argue that Trump has already achieved his stated objective: neutralizing Iran's nuclear threat.
Their position is that Washington should preserve what it has achieved, not risk undoing it through another military escalation.
The proposed strategy:
- Maintain the blockade.
- Give diplomacy time to work.
- Leave Iran's political future to the Iranian people.
- Avoid another costly military confrontation.
And importantly, sources emphasize that Trump himself is far more measured in his deliberations than many realize.
The emerging message from inside the White House is clear: Declare the objective achieved. Maintain the pressure. Don't restart the war.

WOW!
The Iran war is the most unpopular war in US history.
And given the US's extensive history of almost constant warfare, that says something!

Qatar on the state of U.S. - Iran negotiations trying to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict. 👇
The claims circulating regarding HE Sheikh @MBA_AlThani_ remarks on the negotiations between the United States and Iran, alleging that the two sides have failed to reach an agreement, are entirely false and constitute a deliberate distortion of HE’s statements, as is evident in egorically reject these attempts to mislead public opinion and undermine diplomatic efforts at this sensitive time.
HE clearly stated that both sides continue to work towards reaching an agreement, and that Qatari mediators remain in close coordination with both parties in support of the ongoing negotiations.
Promoting such false claims serves only those seeking to prolong the war and destabilise the region.

Trump, who initially appeared unfazed by the results of the Tuesday night midterms, has become angrier as he’s watched coverage of the historic losses, we're told. That sour mood has spread throughout the West Wing, which has become increasingly factionalized in recent days. cnn.com/2026/11/06/pol…

On Iran’s negotiating goals:
“That means emerging with stronger deterrence, lasting leverage, and a regional order in which Washington and Israel can no longer keep Iran isolated, under constant pressure, and vulnerable to attack without facing potentially intolerable costs,” @SinaToossi tells CNN
