Iranian PM making positive noises about how the negotiations are going. Doesn’t seem like a good sign.

Hope the US group has a persian interpreter there. LOL

I'm sure the Ayatollah has one we can use.

TG, that statement seems to be outrageous fantasy.

Obama would be so proud.

The concern about a potential Israeli strike and the prospect of retaliation by Iran led the United States on Wednesday to withdraw diplomats from Iraq and authorize the voluntary departure of U.S. military family members from the Middle East.

If something really was in the works, we would not know about it. The fact that it’s all that everyone is talking about makes me think it’s all grandstanding to improve bargaining in the talks.

I was wrong. (As I sit in my shelter….)

Ok out of shelter. Now just watching tv. It’s fucking 320 in the morning.

[bachophile]

Fuck this. Going back to bed.

I was going to say - Israel may keep everything quiet. We famously give timelines and ultimatums. Cf, Iraq 91, Iraq 03.
