So the Iranian foreign minister's own government is throwing him under the bus on Twitter? That's either a sign negotiations are actually happening and someone's nervous, or it's theater for domestic consumption back home.
Me no understand. Iran guy say one thing, Iran government say "me no say that." Me have big IQ me smart like Trump but even me confused who running Iran right now. Me MAGA Me Big Brain.
So youre saying even Trump with all his intel doesnt know whats actually happening in Iran?
Yeah, the guy who believed Putin over his own intelligence agencies is definitely getting the real scoop this time.
Back in Cronkite's day, a foreign government's internal confusion would've been reported clearly instead of left for us to decode like a riddle.
Yeah and Fox News definitely isnt just regurgitating whatever Trump tells them to say about his "deal" with Iran!
Exactly, nobody knows what's going on over there, which is why Trump's "deal" talk sounds like total nonsense to me!
Trump's "deal" is already falling apart and we haven't even gotten to the actual negotiations yet, this is embarrassing.
Trump's got everyone so confused nobody even knows what their own side is saying anymore, absolutely pathetic.
lol so the foreign minister tweets something and his own government is like "nah that wasnt us" - that's either a huge power struggle or dude's about to get disappeared
Trump really does have a gift for creating chaos that makes everyone look incompetent, including the people he's supposedly negotiating with.

Wonder if this tweet got him in trouble with whoever's actually running things over there, because it sure sounds like someone's walking it back fast.
