Trump Denies Talks with Iran, Declares Nuclear Program ‘Obliterated’

President Donald Trump firmly rejected any suggestion that his administration is offering sanctions relief or negotiating with Iran, dismissing recent speculation as “phony” and doubling down on his claim that Iran’s nuclear program has been decisively destroyed by U.S. and Israeli strikes.

In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump stated unequivocally, “I am not offering Iran ANYTHING,” drawing a sharp contrast to former President Obama’s dealings under the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA. “Nor am I even talking to them since we totally OBLITERATED their Nuclear Facilities,” he added, referencing the unprecedented joint military operation that targeted Iran’s underground enrichment sites.

Trump’s message came amid mixed signals from the Iranian regime, which has publicly ruled out compromise but, according to reports, is privately awaiting instructions from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — who reportedly fled to a secure underground bunker during the strikes and has not been seen in public since. Sources suggest that some Iranian officials may be quietly open to negotiations with Trump, pending Khamenei’s approval, but Tehran continues to demand a U.S. pledge not to renew strikes as a precondition for any talks.

Appearing on Fox News, Trump elaborated on the scale of the operation, describing how bunker-busting bombs struck key nuclear sites like Fordow and Natanz with devastating precision. “The bomb went through it like butter,” Trump said. “The last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear.” He insisted that Iran’s enrichment capabilities are now “nonexistent” and vowed never to allow them to resume. “Enrichment is a bad word,” he quipped. “I wouldn’t let that happen.”

Well lets parse that out a bit. I saw news clips with Trump saying that exact stuff on Monday June 30th. Very optimistic about how this meant the nuke program was done, dealt with.

The nuclear facilities in Fordow and Natanz and Isfahan are obliterated. Israel has done a stellar job on everything else.

However that Pick Axe Mountain facility is still standing. And if the reports on that are correct- look here at our thread on the subject Pickaxe Mountain: Iran’s lesser-known underground nuclear facility, deeper than Fordow

there are PLENTY of problems still there to deal with.

Just because the American side of things is over, doesn't mean the job of cleaning out Iran and removing their nuclear ability to produce nukes AND missiles that threaten Israel is over.

Sean Parnell an official Pentagon spokes person said that the Iranian nuclear program had only been set back 1-2 years. Apparently the leaked stuff was at least partly right, if the Pentagon came out earlier today with that estimate.

I'm having real problems doing a link. I will try to provide that in my next post - it's from Reuters today.

Here's the news report by Reuters, quoting the Pentagon spokesman, dated today Thursday July 3

"Summary

• Pentagon's assessment suggests strikes against Iran likely achieved goals
• Evolving US intelligence on strikes being closely watched
• Iran says key nuclear facility seriously damaged

WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Wednesday that U.S. strikes 10 days ago had degraded Iran's nuclear program by up to two years, suggesting the U.S. military operation likely achieved its goals despite a far more cautious initial assessment that leaked to the public.

Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesman, offered the figure at a briefing to reporters, adding that the official estimate was "probably closer to two years." Parnell did not provide evidence to back up his assessment."

This is actually a significant revision of the earlier statements, which should be expected- nobody could tell right away how effective this was.

Very effective in the sites that were taken out.

But too early to call a truce between Iran and Israel.

My poor unsaved mom is terrified. She is convinced that Iran is going to nuke us now that we have ticked them off. I try to explain we cut them off at the pass but then I remember the above. That we didn’t finish the job. Maranatha.

Maybe an open door? Start with the Trib, etc. and then The Gospel?

Thanks - she has heard the gospel at least ten times in my presence…several times from my husband and I, several times at churches’ Easter and Christmas services, several times at church plays and events, several times from her best friend who became born again.
Another relative sent her the “Jesus” movie on DVD. It sat on a shelf in the wrapper for 15 years.
She doesn’t believe anything I say about future events such as the one world government and retorts sarcastically when I tell her the Lord is returning “Well he’d better hurry up.”
She is obsessed with UFOs and soaks her brain in entertainment and MSM “news.”
I pray. And I left her one humdinger of a left behind letter.

The Bible the Holy Spirit used in my conviction, and ultimately in my salvation, had been given to me a good while prior. I don't know how much time passed from the time it was given to me to the time that I opened it up for the first time, but that movie may yet play a role if it is still in her possession.

Your mom must know my mom, except mine's not obsessed with UFOs that I know of, but she sure is hard headed.

Maybe something will happen, on purpose or otherwise . . . perhaps a ruinous heap?
Sometimes rockets fall short, missiles go off-course. bombs miss the mark, and piles of explosives go boom! for no apparent reason
