U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said that while he didn't want to get ahead of an announcement, President Donald Trump still "has every intent for" the preliminary framework of a peace deal with Iran to be signed Sunday. "How will this [signing] work, and how confident are you that it will happen today?" asked ABC's "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.

"Well, the president has every intent for it to happen. I'll leave the actual details and timing to the White House. The Iranians are incredibly difficult negotiators, coupled -- coupled with the fact that they're having a very hard time getting guidance from their supreme leader, and they're not always on the same page within their team," Waltz said.

But still, the ambassador insisted Trump and U.S. negotiators are "confident" the deal will happen. "They have every intent of getting this done today," he said.

U.S. officials and Iranian officials have signaled a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate remaining issues regarding Iran's nuclear program over a 60-day period. But while Trump said a signing would occur on Sunday, Iran has not confirmed that timeline; a spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry said Saturday there was a high possibility the memorandum of understanding is finalized in the coming da

1. Expect absolute abject surrender just to say they got a deal done by his very-special-day deadline.

2. Well, If Israel/Bibi and Lebanon keep up attacks, it's not going to happen. Bibi doesn't want...

.....this war to end. He wants to EXPAND it and he wants the US tied up in it with him.

IMO, he is likely to sabotage ANY effort that the US makes with Iran on opening the Strait and peace/ceasefire.

That STUPID orange lizard should have N E V E R got into bed with Netanyahu. NOW we're all fucked because of those two sociopaths.

3. This "peace deal" will not hold up if Netanyahu doesn't sign off on it

4. How about a concept of a preliminary framework?

5. "incredibly difficult negotiators", "very hard time getting guidance from their supreme leader" . . .

"and they're not always on the same page within their team".

Yep, sounds pretty much like the U.S. effort as well.

6. Here's how it might happen:

1. U.S. negotiators (reluctantly) agree to all Iranian demands, because realistically, that’s the only way it’ll happen. Of course, we can’t guarantee that Bibi will abide by anything, but our negotiators will assure Iran that he will stay in line.
2. The Oranganus will loudly proclaim he has brought to an end another war. (Or two or three, because why not?) And he’ll lie about the negotiated terms, so that our media reports only good news favorable to dear leader.
3. US spokespersons and the orangy one will loudly assert “Fake news!” anytime Iranians point out the fallacies being spewed from our lying liars.

Problem solved!

7. Prediction

Eventually the word will leak as to how much cash Trump promised Iran in exchange for this face saving "peace" deal.

8. I have every intent to move to Canada but it doesn't mean it going to happen. nt
