Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi has told his Russian counterpart that Iran will monitor U.S. behavior and take the appropriate decision to protect its interests and national security, according to reports.

Citing Iranian state media, Reuters also reported that in a phone call with Sergey Lavrov, Araghchi said that the United States’ “illegal behaviors” and the “contradictory positions” of its leaders were “incompatible with the claim of diplomacy.”

Aragchi’s remarks came as the two-week ceasefire set by the U.S. was set to end Wednesday.

Iran's Foreign Ministry also said that "no decision has been made" on whether to hold new talks.

Ghalibaf warns Trump on X, Iran 'prepared to reveal new battlefield cards'

Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sent a direct warning to President Donald Trump Monday on X, saying that Iran will not accept negotiations with the U.S. while under threat.

"Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering," he said.

"We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threat, and over the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," Ghalibaf added.

Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in talks with Vice President J.D. Vance in Islamabad, Pakistan, on April 11.

Meanwhile in France . . .

@visegrad24

🇫🇷🇦🇫 French authorities have arrested a 19-year-old Afghan migrant accused of a series of brutal sexual assaults on goats and sheep at a farm near Marseille, France.

The investigation began after the owners of the farm discovered several of their animals in severe distress with their legs tied and bleeding from genital injuries. One of the victims is a five-month-old lamb that nearly lost its life from the Afghan teen's abuse.

Surveillance cameras captured the young migrant performing violent sexual acts with the animals.

He was caught in the act and taken into custody. While the suspect has reportedly denied the accusations, prosecutors stated that DNA evidence from semen samples found on six of the animals matches him.

Foreign policy is a function of the Executive Branch, not the Legislative Branch.  Only a complete fool with zero understanding of the US Constitution would require Senate approval of a foreign policy negotiator.

Might want to take that up with Trump.  But personally, I don't think he will be swayed by your anti-Semitic position.

I am nto aware of any negotiations between Kushner and Bibi.  Most of Kushsner's real estate dealings and negotiations have been with the Saudis as well as negotiations with others concerning Iran.

In fact Kushner is being investigated.

Well, not on the record.  But, Jared was key in mediating the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, including hostage release and humanitarian aid.

🇬🇧 TERRORIST ALLOWED TO STAY IN LONDON DESPITE REJECTED ASYLUM CLAIM

An Islamist terrorist who plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange was allowed to remain in Britain despite a rejected asylum claim.

Shah Rahman, jailed in 2012, was later granted restricted leave after a judge ruled deportation would breach his rights under Article 3, stating he “could not be removed to Bangladesh without breach of his rights.”

His wife was later barred as a national security risk after ISIS-related material was found on her phone.

Not at all.  I'm saying that Bibi has been pointing out for 40 years that islamists always - ALWAYS - exhibit bad faith and cannot be trusted in any negotiation.
The only thing they can be counted on/ trusted for, is to break their word and kill innocents.

Maddow: ‘Need to Go to the Mullahs in Iran’ to See if Trump’s ‘Just Huffing’

On Monday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow said that “we need to go to the mullahs in Iran to find out whether or not the president is just huffing or whether or not some of  these words are supposed to have something to do with something that’s happened in the real world” with the war in Iran.

Maddow said, “It’s like the reporting on what the White House, generally, the administration, generally, but, specifically, what the president has to say about the war, it’s like if you were, like, reporting really intently on when your dog barked, what words it sounded like, you know what I mean? Like, you can discern stuff, you can pull some words out of there, you can talk about what those words might mean, but there’s no reason to believe that they have any connection to what’s true in the world. It’s simply just like sound monitoring at this point.”

She continued, “And when he said that he and Iran had a deal about their nuclear material, and Iran was like, we did what now? And then he announced, like, we’re going to have peace talks in Pakistan. And Iran was like, with who? The fact that we need to go to the mullahs in Iran to find out whether or not the president is just huffing or whether or not some of these words are supposed to have something to do with something that’s happened in the real world, it’s dangerous enough in the normal course of government. But when it comes to a live war, it’s just ridiculous.”

Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, declared late Monday that Tehran will not negotiate with the United States “under the shadow of threats,” warning Tehran is prepared to “reveal new cards on the battlefield” as a ceasefire deadline looms and the fate of renewed talks remains uncertain.

Yo Rachel, I hear Megan Rappinho is available.  Maybe you two can hook up and really fuel your mutual Trump hate boners.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard sidelines president as military grip expands
President Pezeshkian reportedly unable to contact Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as a 'military council' controls access
By Efrat Lachter Fox News
Published April 21, 2026 6:00am EDT

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the elite branch of the Iranian armed forces, has blocked President Masoud Pezeshkian’s presidential appointments and erected what sources described as a security cordon around Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, a report published Tuesday by Iran International said.

The IRGC effectively has assumed control over key state functions, the report claimed.

"It was always a matter of when, not if, the IRGC was going to step forward even more than it has in the last three decades," Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.

Pezeshkian has reached a "complete political deadlock" as tensions between his administration and the military leadership deepen, according to the report.

It's not good that IRGC controls all contact with Fearless Leader.  There is no point to having "negotiations" with people who have no authority!

Like Bob pointed out upthread, Trump believes that he's actually "negotiating" with the masters, wherein he's actually dealing with the servants.

Negotiating with Iranians has always been chaotic because it’s their nature to lie, cheat and disburse massive amounts of disinformation to confuse negotiators.

Trump is doing it right back to them.

I have no idea what Trump believes about who's in charge in Iran, but he does know how to "wave a dead chicken."  Sometimes you have to do things you know won't work just to prove to idiots it won't work!

Maddow: ‘Need to Go to the Mullahs in Iran’ to See if Trump’s ‘Just Huffing’

On Monday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow said that “we need to go to the mullahs in Iran to find out whether or not the president is just huffing or whether or not some of  these words are supposed to have something to do with something that’s happened in the real world” with the war in Iran.

Maddow said, “It’s like the reporting on what the White House, generally, the administration, generally, but, specifically, what the president has to say about the war, it’s like if you were, like, reporting really intently on when your dog barked, what words it sounded like, you know what I mean? Like, you can discern stuff, you can pull some words out of there, you can talk about what those words might mean, but there’s no reason to believe that they have any connection to what’s true in the world. It’s simply just like sound monitoring at this point.”

She continued, “And when he said that he and Iran had a deal about their nuclear material, and Iran was like, we did what now? And then he announced, like, we’re going to have peace talks in Pakistan. And Iran was like, with who? The fact that we need to go to the mullahs in Iran to find out whether or not the president is just huffing or whether or not some of these words are supposed to have something to do with something that’s happened in the real world, it’s dangerous enough in the normal course of government. But when it comes to a live war, it’s just ridiculous.”

He might be OVER RULING Iranian officials who want to make a deal with the US

Vahidi - there is no "might". He answers to the Mullahs, not the politicians. The IRGC is the military wing of the Mullahs' power; it does what they tell them to do.

Quote
"Vahidi, who is on the IRGC military side, who is holding most of the cards here in power because he has the guns, seems to be much more of a hardliner. Vahidi takes control of the IRGC, quite literally, with the threat of death hanging over him."

A condition he is likely quite proud of - almost a martyr, a condition IRGC members strive to achieve.

Meanwhile .... Trump is sending the VP of our country over to negotiate along with Kushner who holds no position.   **nononono*  He's keeping Rubio busy elsewhere.  Why?

Just my opinion ....  Trump will once again grant Iran more time -- at least until the 28th when time according to the War Powers Act is over and it will be up to Congress to vote to declare war.  I just don't see that things have been moving in another direction.

Either Iran has capabilities that will draw us into a lengthy war or what needs to be done will require boots on the ground and mass casualties or both.  OR the U.S. is low on munitions and has grossly over estimated its power against Iran.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
