US President Donald Trump declared on Monday that newly planned talks with Iran were their final opportunity to sign an agreement, calling it their “last chance” to get a good deal and avoid US retaliation.”The leaders of many Gulf nations … they all wanted to give this a last chance. This is a last chance … This is a last chance for them to sign a good document,” Trump said while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. He added that he expects negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program to begin “in the next day or two.”Earlier, Trump delayed planned military strikes against Iran to pursue a potential agreement, centering on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and constraints on Iran’s nuclear program, though Tehran has publicly denied holding direct negotiations with the United States.
Iran said to reject US Hormuz proposal……. Time, date for US-Iran talks said not to be finalized yet
Iran has rejected the latest US proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz until the complete end of the war, Hezbollah-linked news outlet Al-Mayadeen reported on Monday, citing an unnamed Iranian source. According to the report, Iran insisted that the Strait of Hormuz would not be reopened until the war had ended so maritime traffic restrictions might continue. The source also claimed that Washington had agreed to the closure of the southern maritime lane across the Strait, although no official confirmation has been issued.
NN: Rejected by Iran the latest US proposal…. I am shocked. As in the straits are STILL CLOSED! At WHAT POINT DO THE DICK HEADS WAKE UP AND REALIZE THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF OIL. I am adamant their is no deal and will be no deal. Which means the biggest oil crises ever l is coming. Get this suppose i am full of shit and they get a deal and the oil starts flowing. Their will still not be enough oil for the coming high demand oil and natural gas high demand season.
Update: Time and venue for the resumption of peace negotiations between the United States and Iran have not yet been determined, Anadolu Ajansi reported on Monday. The news outlet cited a senior Pakistani official, who shared that no meeting between the representatives of the two countries has been scheduled in Islamabad, “at least in the next 24 hours.” The source also disclosed that both Pakistani and Qatari mediators are in contact with Washington and Tehran in order to determine when and where the new round of talks will take place. These claims came following US President Donald Trump’s announcement that peace talks would resume today, which Iran denied earlier today.
Trump: Iran talks begin Monday afternoon…. Iran: Currently no talks with US
United States President Donald Trump said that new negotiations with Iran would be starting tomorrow afternoon, adding that the attack he called off this weekend “would have been the biggest since World War II.” “Now what we’re doing is, we are talking to them [Iran] in the form of a negotiation. It begins tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll see… I’d love to do that. It’ll save a lot of lives, a lot of unnecessary power, to be honest with you,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
NN: Another round of negotiations! Sure glad their will be hahahaha piece, Can i ask one question? What has 40 years of negotiating with Iran bought us?
We won every battle in Nam. We won every battle in Afghanistan. We lost both wars in the hahahaha peace negotiations. Iran is starting to look the same to me.
Iran: Currently no talks with US
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Monday that Tehran is not currently holding any talks with the United States. Speaking at a daily press briefing, Baghaei noted that Iran is negotiating with Oman on a temporary route that would allow safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. “As long as the United States continues its violations, there will naturally be no significant change in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz,” he stressed, adding that reaching a deal with Oman over a transit route would not be enough for reopening the critical waterway. The spokesperson’s remarks follow US President Donald Trump’s claims that negotiations with Iran will restart later today.
NN: They cannot even agree on when negotiations will start. Oil dropped 5 dollars on this hahahaha peace news. Someone is very confused and it ain’t me.
Iran denies agreeing to reopen Strait of Hormuz
There is currently no agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, accepted by the Iranian authorities, Iran’s semi-official media outlet Fars News Agency reported on Sunday, citing a source close to the nuclear negotiating team and denying an earlier report that claimed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed to the mediators’ proposal for reopening the waterway.
“As long as the US continues its hostile actions, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and the passage of vessels will only be possible via the announced route and with the permission of the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] IRGC Navy,” an informed military source cited in the report claimed.
According to the previous report, the vessels would enter the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian territorial waters and exit through Omani territorial waters.
NN: You can’t make a deal with liras thieves and murders. Stop trying! No good will come of it.
Trump: I agreed to cancel Iran attack if deal made…..Iran rejects Trump’s claim it sought halt to attacks
United States President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he agreed to call off a large-scale attack on Iran “subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” adding that Israel agreed to join him “in this commitment.” “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to,” Trump proclaimed. The deal, according to the US leader, would include a “complete and total” opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an “end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” Moreover, the American president claimed his cancellation of the strike was “for the future benefit of the world” and “survival” of a “successful and prosperous Iran.”
NN: I am sure glad their is a deal over the weekend calling for a hahahaha“complete and total” opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an “end to Iran’s nuclear threat.” . The oil market Friday rallied on the close on news of the attack. Now over the weekend Trump announced the attack has been called of …. again on the hahahaha NEW peace deal. Their is one little problem see next story
Iran rejects Trump’s claim it sought halt to attacks
Iranian military officials rejected United States President Donald Trump’s claim that Tehran had asked Washington to halt planned attacks, calling it “nothing more than another lie” and “a desperate attempt” to pressure Gulf leaders through threats, according to Iranian local news sources on Sunday. The officials said Iran’s forces remain “at the highest level of readiness” and are prepared “for every possibility.” They warned that if confrontation becomes unavoidable, “the battlefield will be decisive,” adding that “everyone will understand who holds the power and who will have the final say.” Earlier, Trump said he had agreed to cancel a large-scale attack on Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries allegedly asked the US to hold off. Separately, Al Mayadeen reported, citing its correspondent, that Vice President JD Vance and the US Army chief of staff urged Trump to abandon the strike plan, with concerns over missile stockpile shortages also said to have influenced the decision.
NN: Time to replace Vance who is a loser with Rubio. And we need to send a memo to the army chief oF staff Saying YOUR FIRED!!

Trump says Hamas disarmament deal reached……Iran urged Hamas against signing Gaza deal
United States President Donald Trump said that the Board of Peace reached an agreement for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and all other armed groups in the Gaza Strip. The agreement, he said, would be carried out in phases, with Israeli forces withdrawing once disarmament is completed, ” Senior Hamas officials have reportedly agreed to the plan, but the question of whether the group disarms before or after Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza has already emerged as a point of contention. “We will not take any action regarding disarmament prior to Israel’s withdrawal from the Strip,” Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas negotiating team, told Al Jazeera. The International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.” Trump hailed the deal as a “critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people.” At the same time, “Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks,” he added in a post on Truth Social
NN: Hamas agrees to complete disarming. That is as credible to me .as Hamas converting to Christianity. You know what i really love about this bullshit is the oil market dropped. Call me stupid but their is no oil production out of Gaza. And the Gaza strip is located on the Mediteration is from the straghts in a straight line t 1,300 miles away. And as a ship sales 4000 miles. Kind of hard to see the relevance to the oil market
And here is what Iran had to say:
Iran urged Hamas against signing Gaza deal

US, Saudi forces hit ‘Iran-backed’ targets in Iraq
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said its and Saudi Arabian forces jointly struck “Iran-aligned terrorists” in Iraq, claiming that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed those groups to attack US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. “US and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours,” CENTCOM said on X, noting that the attacks against US forces were unsuccessful.

Oil Jumps as US Parries ‘Surprise’ Attack, Iran Claims Ship Hits
Oil surged as a fresh round of fighting erupted across the Middle East, threatening further disruptions to energy flows and severely undermining diplomatic efforts to end the months-old conflict. Brent climbed almost 4% to above $87 a barrel, paring some of the 16% loss over the past three sessions that was its biggest such decline since 2020. Since the start of July, the benchmark has traded in range of almost $32. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a US airbase and command center in Jordan with ballistic missiles, state-run IRIB News reported, citing an IRGC statement. In addition, the IRGC also claimed to have hit and halted three tankers, without saying where the incidents took place. US Central Command said it had intercepted a “surprise” Iranian attack on US troops, without giving details. Meanwhile, the US military and Saudi Arabia also struck “Iran-aligned terrorists” in Iraq after they were directed by the IRGC to target American forces and Saudi energy infrastructure, Centcom said. Riyadh confirmed a joint operation with the US, saying strikes were undertaken as a “right of self-defense,” according to the state-run SPA. Oil has been whipsawed this month, initially surging as hostilities between the US and Iran re-escalated and the conflict spread to the Red Sea, with the Tehran-backed Houthis threatening to blockade Saudi ports, before prices gave back some gains. Investors remain focused on diplomatic moves to end the war, as well as signs flows through key chokepoints remain compromised. “We remain exceedingly skeptical that we are on the brink of a major diplomatic breakthrough that will resolve the nuclear standoff that started the war,” RBC Capital Markets LLC analysts including Helima Croft said in a note. “The ongoing threat of missiles, mines, drones, and Tehran tolls will keep a significant portion of the shipping market on the sidelines,” they added. On the Strait of Hormuz, Iran told Oman that its proposal for a route through the critical waterway, with 50% under Tehran’s control and 50% under Oman’s, would not address the Islamic Republic’s concerns. The inbound passage must be entirely under Iran’s control, along with part of the outbound channel, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state television. The IRGC statement on the latest tanker attacks said the vessels had been traveling on an “unsafe and illegal route,” according to IRIB News.Visible traffic through Hormuz — which links the Persian Gulf to global markets — remained thin early Wednesday. Only two commodity vessels crossed on Tuesday, according to Kpler data, a tally that may be adjusted. In Washington, President Donald Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the US leader sought to avoid renewed bombing. After the meeting, Netanyahu told Fox News he was skeptical about a deal. Israel launched the war with the US in February to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.
