BREAKING: The White House FREAKS out after a report reveals that Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has been desperately begging Iran to negotiate via text messages — which Iran has ignored. The humiliation never ends with this administration... “Behind the scenes, it is the Trump administration that has been asking for talks,” reported Jeremy Scahill of Drop Site News. “Two Iranian officials told Drop Site that Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff personally sent messages to officials in Tehran, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, last week exploring possibilities for resuming negotiations. Iran has not replied to Witkoff. The Iranian officials told Drop Site that Iran has also received messages from the White House via third countries,” wrote Scahill. Drop Site further reported that a "senior Iranian official" revealed that Witkoff has repeatedly tried to restart peace negotiations but “Iran has once again closed the window for any direct negotiations.” Meanwhile, Trump has been lying through his teeth and insists that Iran's leaders "want to negotiate badly" and claims that the United States is easily winning the war. In reality, Iran is pummeling U.S. bases and the oil infrastructure of our Gulf allies. The Strait of Hormuz has been choked off to western ships, leading to a sharp increase in global oil prices. The truth is that Iran has all of the real leverage here. They have realized that this is an existential battle for their survival. If they allow the U.S. to end this war after assassinating their leader and slaughtering their women and children with bombs, it's likely that America and Israel will wait a few months, restock their weapons, and attack again. Iran has calculated that a longer conflict now is worth it if it discourages further acts of aggression. The Trump administration predictably flew off the handle over Drop Site's reporting— “The radical, left-wing Drop Site News is clearly carrying water for the Iranian terrorist regime – and reports like these based on pure fiction and citing unnamed anonymous sources should be discarded immediately,” a White House spokesperson told Drop Site News. “Iran feeds this fake news media outlet propaganda and they publish it as fact, which is abhorrent, America Last behavior. Operation Epic Fury will continue unabated until President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, determines that the goals of Operation Epic Fury, including for Iran to no longer pose a military threat, have been fully realized," they added. Of course, in MAGA world anything other than the most obsequious, praise-drenched support for Donald Trump is painted as "radical left-wing fake news." At this point, these smears fall on deaf ears. It's clear to everyone outside of Trump's cult of personality that this war — in addition to being a moral catastrophe and historic criminal act — is proving to be a strategic disaster. When it does eventually end, everyone involved in launching it must be investigated and prosecuted for war crimes. Please
