Clues about an imminent attack on the Islamic Republic

Though get-togethers between the two leaders are always significant, and unprecedently frequent-this will be their seventh since Trump assumed office just over a year ago-the upcoming encounter, slated for Wednesday, comes on the heels of the first round of negotiations in Oman between the United States and the Islamic Republic. As if the diplomatic dialogue weren’t sufficient cause for concern, since the mullahs are using it as a tactic to avoid what was shaping up to be a serious American (and perhaps Israeli) military attack on the regime, the fact that Trump was upbeat on Friday about what he called “very good talks"-to be continued, no less-was deeply disturbing. Still, he seems to think that there’s a possibility to reach a deal with the monsters in Tehran that would see the elimination of nukes and ballistic missiles without military action.
