This Bombshell About the Negotiations With Iran Changes Everything

A new CNN poll shows that 59% of Americans disapprove of the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran. That number shocks me.
Iran is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. The regime has funded proxy wars, armed Hezbollah, backed Hamas, and spent decades chanting for the destruction of Israel and the United States. The idea that another round of diplomacy was going to stop them was pure fantasy. Donald Trump did what had to be done, and there’s now a real chance for the people of Iran to be free, and for there to be peace in the Middle East. I know some people will just oppose it because they oppose everything Trump does.
For those who are actually persuadable, new information from Steve Witkoff has come to light that should change how they view this conflict. Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy for Middle East talks, gave a stunning account on Fox News of how those pre-strike negotiations unfolded. The picture he painted is not the one most Americans have in their heads.
In the very first meeting, Iran didn't come in hat in hand. Witkoff said Iranian negotiators opened by declaring their "undeniable right to enrich all of their nuclear fuel" — and then dropped a bombshell. "In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60% [enrichment] and they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So that's — they were proud of it."
