As protests in Iran rage on and the death toll mounts, the mullahs may want to talk:

Iran says it’s ready for ‘war’ or dialogue as Trump weighs response to protests
Some rights groups estimate hundreds of people killed in protests in Iran. President Donald Trump said the U.S. may have to “act before a meeting” with Iran.


And:
“We are not warmongers, but we are prepared for war. … We are also prepared for negotiations, but fair negotiations, with equal rights and mutual respect,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told a gathering of ambassadors in Iran on Monday.

Trump said aboard Air Force One on Sunday night that Iran had contacted the U.S. to propose talks, but added: “We may have to act before a meeting. … A meeting is being set up.” He declined to elaborate on the options the U.S. was considering on Iran.


But...negotiate what?
The only thing to negotiate is an exit for the Mullahs and the Iranians will never go for that.

The Iranian regime is reported starting to shoot protestors. Perhaps it's time to run guns into the country.

As offered before, I fully expect the CIA and/or Mossad to be hip deep in agitating the mob. They could easily move arms in from Afghanistan or Iraq. The big one to watch for is if the army starts to defect.
