And the world says…”
Bring it on!!!!

Good Monday morning Beloved Sentients. This is the second of four posts I have ready to publish in the next day or so. You can access my first post on the Israeli desecration in Lebanon HERE.
This post deals with the stand off between Iran and Trumpenyahu over whether to meet in Islamabad for anothe go-round of useless “negotiations”. As Putin has been saying about USrael for decades–the US is not negotiation=capable. This is because it is occupied by the Israeli Regime that is bent on WWIII and total destruction of humanity.
Please read the following reports and links that give a general jist at the circus going on and I will have final comments to follow:

BREAKING: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
Honoring commitments is the basis of meaningful dialogue.
Deep historical mistrust in Iran toward U.S. gov conduct remains, while unconstructive & contradictory signals from American officials carry a bitter message; they seek Iran’s surrender. Iranians do not submit to force.
Greencrow continues: This is whatIiran said in reply to Trumpenyahu’s threats of yesterday. I saw in it a glimmer of hope for humanity which I will elaborate on in the conclusion to this post:
********
“…Iran considers the war scenario more likely than the continuation of negotiations and is prepared, through redeployment and measures taken over the past two weeks, to inflict unforgettable hours of hell from the outset of any renewed engagement with America and Israel.”

Meanwhile, the USraeli build-up continues.

“NEW: HUGE MOVEMENT OF U.S MILITARY PERSONAL & EQUIPMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST
“Monitoring American movements in recent days indicates several special transfer operations, including: the transfer of some American warships, the establishment of an unprecedented air bridge for equipment transfer, and the participation of several heavy C5 and C17 aircraft to transport weapons.”
April 19, 2026 Yesterday, the US attacked a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz in an effort to bait the Iranians into breaking the ceasefire–so they could then blame Iran for confict.

Here is the report on the US piracy directly from the head pirate himself:
JUST IN: TRUMP CLAIMS US MILITARY SEIZED AN IRANIAN VESSEL IN GULF OF OMAN
********
Can you imagine the “Leader of the Free World ever writing such garbage?! The following analysis might give the reader some insight into this escalating behaviour:
Trump has always been narcissistic. This destructive urgency is new
Trump has always been narcissistic. This destructive urgency is new
“…That means that what Trump’s grandiosity tells us about Trump is the most significant, and it’s here that the words of his former associates seem relevant. Over the past week, Ty Cobb – who served as Trump’s lawyer during his first term – said the President’s cognitive decline had “accelerated”, “his vocabulary had shrunk” and his behaviour was “suggestive of the absence of any frontal lobe controls”…”

Greencrow continues: This morning we are at what is colloquially called a “Mexican Stand Off”. Don’t know why two sides refusing to budge is called that…but anyhoooooo.
This front page report the Iranian State Media PressTV is the latest official position of Iran with the ceasefire ending tomorrow.

US has no option but to drop excessive demands, respect Iran’s rights: Deputy FM
US has no option but to drop excessive demands, respect Iran’s rights: Deputy FM
“Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh says the United States has no option but to abandon its excessive demands and fully respect the rights of the Iranian people, adding that diplomacy is the only solution to the crisis.
He made the remarks in an interview with IRIB in Ankara, Turkey, on Monday.
The Iranian diplomat elaborated on the Foreign Ministry’s principal measures during the illegal US-Israeli war and negotiations between Tehran and Washington in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
Diplomacy, Khatibzadeh stated, is the sole solution to the ongoing crisis in the region.
“The United States has tried war and may again imagine that it can achieve something by remaining on the path of war.”
Iran, he said, is resolute in defending its national security and territorial integrity and will never compromise in this regard.
Iran’s adversaries sought to disintegrate the country and had lined up certain armed groups but they failed, Khatibzadeh said.
“The enemies thought they could create cognitive confusion among the [Iranian] people and then push them to act against their own country. However, the overwhelming majority of the people stood up against this.”
Khatibzadeh said Iranians are facing a “vile” enemy, whose scale of shamelessness, hostility, and crime is immeasurable.
“Yet despite all this, a people, a nation, and a country like Iran has no choice but to emerge victorious in this national battle, in this national resistance. Defeat is not an option,” he said.
The Iranian diplomat placed a premium on standing strong for the sake of an ancient history. “The will of a nation shows that it can come out victorious; and we will be victorious.”
The great people of Iran must know that the country does not act in blind obedience to orders, Khatibzadeh said.
The Islamic Republic, he added, moves along the path it has defined based on its own strategic framework. “We will continue our strong resistance to protect the high interests of this country and its people and we fear no threat.”
Iran will not accept anything beyond international law
Khatibzadeh assured the Iranian nation that the Islamic Republic would accept no commitments beyond international law.
“If the United States reaches this level of rationality, there will be no obstacle, and a mutual understanding can be reached very quickly. It seems, however, that the US currently does not intend to fully understand that matter,” he said.
He said messages have been exchanged between Tehran and Washington and other countries are currently aware of Iran’s positions.
The United States and Israel launched their illegal war of aggression against Iran on February 28. They assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and struck nuclear facilities, schools, hospitals and civilian infrastructure.
On April 8, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) announced that there was an agreement to a Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire after the US accepted Iran’s 10-point proposal.
Senior Iranian and American negotiators held approximately 21 hours of talks in Islamabad on April 11 without an agreement, with Iranian officials blaming Washington for its excessive demands and shifting positions.
With the two-week ceasefire set to expire on April 22, Donald Trump, the president of the US, said an American delegation would be in Islamabad on Monday for talks with Iran.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told reporters on Monday that Tehran has no plans to take part in the talks in Islamabad, as tensions remain high with the US continuing an illegal blockade of Iranian ports.
The naval blockade coupled with US excessive demands and shifting positions have hindered progress in the talks, reports said.”

Greencrow concludes: Folks what’s going on here is that both sides want the other to resume hostilities so they can claim victimhood. Iran is the true victim in this never ending USraeli resource grab but if USrael can convince the world that Iran made the first hostile move then it thinks it can garner some allies in the resumption of warfare.
Iran is bound and determined that ain’t gonna happen and so it has threatened but not actually responded to the bombing and seizing of the Iranian Cargo Ship yesterday. Oh, BTW I read a report this morning that on the Saturday after the “Screaming for Hours” Good Friday last, Trump wanted to nuke Iran and was asking for the “nuclear codes” but was talked out of it. All kinds of rumours are now circulating about Trump’s tenuous hold on sanity.
The world will never forget the lessons being learned over the past seven weeks. We’ve learned that the US is a geopolitical powder keg that cannot be trusted or relied upon in any way, shape or form. Even the Arab gulf states are learning that the hard way and are threatening to start selling their oil in Chinese Yuan.
Can you imagine Trump going to China if this stand off continues–or worse if a hot war breaks out again? Not gonna happen folks…he’ll come up with another excuse for not going. He doesn’t want to visit China looking like the loser he is. China is on the side of Iran but has to feign neutrality. I do believe that Russia and China are helping out Iran materially. If Iran does not win this war then they [China and Russia] know they’re next up on the serving platter…along with Turkey.
Another thing that’s not gonna happen is the FIFA Championship tournament being held in the US. Can you imagine the NATO states [who are the central participants in the FIFA games] wanting to go to the US under war conditions? OMG…waiting for that to be called off…probably before the end of April.
So folks, another Monday and another deadline [Wednesday night] to Armageddon…getting tired of it yet?
Stay tuned.
