Iran denies any talks with Trump, claims he 'retreated'

7 months ago by Sahwa to c/world

Iranian media and officials deny any direct or indirect contact with Trump, saying he postponed power plant strikes after Tehran's warnings

Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying no dialogue is taking place between the two sides and characterizing Trump's announcement as part of efforts to lower energy prices and buy time for military planning.

Iran has been very trustworthy lately.

Iran: If you do A I will do B

USrael: *does A*

Iran: *does B*

USrael + Western Media: *surprise pikachu face*

Also worth noting that Americans are literally retreating from Iraq after requesting a truce from Iranian affiliated militias.

and buy time for military planning.

You can't trust trump to hold to any ceasefire. Hell launch a surprise attack, declare victory immediately, and try to blame victim when you keep fighting.

It's the same as Bibi and Vlad do. But when you make your enemies think peace is impossible, you lose all say in when a conflict can end.

trump fucked up by targeting a country that can unilaterally halt oil shipments.

No, this is how bullies try to de-escalate.

If Iran goes along with it, trump will hit them again when they're not looking.

They're going to make him surrender, which will likely include nuclear weapons development if not outright nukes. It's the only way to ensure another attack doesn't happen, because only a complete idiot would trust trump and this administration.

Just walking away isn't enough to end this. It only takes one willing side to fight a war.

At first I thought Trump really fucked up. Unusual specificity in his threat.

I already knew his followers would eat the shit right out of his ass, but it's somehow getting even more pathetic.

TACO means nothing to him. His followers just go with it every time.

Oh it's definitely something like that. Trump may be dumb publicly, but he's also blindly loyal to his own ego and wallet. He has a reason for this, whether it's market manipulation or bribes, but he definitely has a reason that will serve him exclusively.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
