In response to a letter from President Trump, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected direct negotiations with the United States regarding Iran’s nuclear program, citing past broken promises. While indirect talks remain a possibility, progress has been stalled since the US withdrawal from the 2018 nuclear deal. This rejection comes amidst heightened regional tensions, including the recent Israel-Hamas war and ongoing US airstrikes in Yemen, raising concerns of potential military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, despite accelerating uranium enrichment to near-weapons-grade levels.

Despite Vance’s reservations, the strikes proceeded, resulting in civilian casualties and raising questions about the efficacy of the strategy. The incident reveals a disregard for a narrow focus on American interests and a continuation of a broader, interventionist foreign policy.

While setbacks are evident, successful legal challenges against abusers, like that of Bay Higginbotham, offer a sliver of hope for continued progress.

A Leger poll reveals that 20 percent of Americans desire their state’s secession from the U.S. to join Canada, fueled by rising tensions stemming from President Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation. This desire contrasts with only 9 percent of Canadians expressing likelihood of joining the U.S. The poll, conducted March 21-24, also highlights low support (35%) for Trump’s tariffs among Americans and widespread concern over rising grocery prices. Experts suggest this sentiment may reflect broader dissatisfaction with Trump’s policies, rather than concrete plans for state secession.

Trump says “there will be bombing” if Iran does not make a nuclear deal. This statement, however, needs to be considered within the context of his prior actions regarding Iran. He unilaterally withdrew the United States from a previously existing nuclear agreement with Iran, an action that many considered a significant diplomatic misstep. This withdrawal, perceived by some as undermining international agreements and trust, directly contributed to the current situation.
Trump’s threat of bombing Iran if a new deal isn’t reached seems to ignore the history of his own administration’s involvement in this matter. It’s a stark contrast to the image some attempted to project of him as a peacemaker, and raises serious questions about his approach to foreign policy.… Continue reading
