(Pepe is back from spending many days in Iran with many insights. He has been studying & traveling in Iran for over 25 years. He was able to meet with many government, military, and regular citizens to better understand Iran's position on negotiations with Trump's team. He was also able to visit key parts of the North-South corridor that will connect St. Petersburg to India via Iran.

Nima & Pepe also discussed the challenges Trump is having with getting agreements for Russia-Ukraine and Iran-US. Trump still doesn't seem to understand that he has no leverage with Russia on the Ukrainian conflict. In fact, the US & NATO are directly responsible for the conditions causing this conflict.

Trump wants an agreement with Iran that includes no enrichment of uranium, which Iran won't agree to. Iran won't give up uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes. He was able to talk with a military person to verify that military retaliation against Israel is ready to go when the time is right. Now that Iran has the backing of Russia & China, it would be unwise for Israel or the US to bomb Iran. Unfortunately, there are warmongering people trying to get someone to bomb Iran. Keep in mind that the Houthi's in Yemen caused 3 US fighter jets to be lost and almost sunk one of the US aircraft carriers. — RAD)
