No wonder Israel is steaming.... Remember this comment, from last March?
Trump’s ‘very good’ talks with Iran buy him time with oil and energy markets
Asked who the US was negotiating with in Iran, Trump said: “We are dealing with a man that I believe is the most respected, not the supreme leader, we have not heard from him.” Asked to name the person, Trump suggested he could be targeted if he did so: “I can’t. I don’t want them to be killed.”
Yet Israel, which has taken the lead in assassinating successive levels of Iran’s leadership since 28 February, may not be ready to cut a deal just yet. Israel is “continuing to strike, in Iran and in Lebanon”, he said.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/24/trum...Is that comment by Trump simply to inject drama? Is he afraid of nutter fringe elements in Iran, fringe elements in the US, or fringe elements in Israel, to sabotage the talks by killing the Iranian party?
I floated the idea of the Iranian delegation being killed in their limo, on the way to the ceremony in Switzerland, or maybe blowing up the building, taking the US delegation with the Iranians. Was Trump's concern real? Is that why he is having Vance lead on this, to keep himself out of the kill zone?
