It is now about 3 PM Eastern Daylight Time. All the sources I read are still having the Iranians denying up and down that there are any talks going on. An exception is Axios, which has a rather detailed account of talks among the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and those two geniuses Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
But, notably, the very same Speaker has called bullshit on the reports of negotiation. His post on X says, and I quote, “No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenewes isused to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped.”
Could it be that Witkoff and Kushner, hoping to put off the Apocalypse, previously scheduled for 7:44 PM this evening, have told Trump a pack of lies?
Just asking.
