【Facing Iran's hard line, is Trump caught between a rock and a hard place?】Breaking: Two sources within Trump’s negotiation team have revealed that Trump might abruptly TACO out of the U.S.-Iran agreement at any moment, due to "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its domestic allies in the U.S.," urging him not to accept Iran’s terms.

Trump also posted on his own social media account an image of a Mark 84 low-drag general-purpose bomb mounted on a fighter aircraft.

The bomb is painted with his signature catchphrase: “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” A massive exclamation mark❗️ (see image).

The Mk 84 bomb, also known as Mark 84 or BLU-117, weighs approximately 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms) and is currently the sixth heaviest bomb in the U.S. inventory. Ahead of it are the GBU-28 "Bunker Buster" (5,000 pounds), the GBU-43/B "Mother of All Bombs" (22,600 pounds), and the GBU-43/B massive penetrating bomb.

The never-existent—or never publicly announced—U.S.-Iran agreement now faces collapse.

Trump himself provides proof in his post: “If I reach an agreement with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, absolutely unlike the deal Obama made, which handed Iran huge amounts of cash and paved a clear, open path toward nuclear weapons. Our agreement is the exact opposite—one no one has seen, and nobody knows what it actually is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. Don’t listen to those losers (note: Fopeng was already spouting nonsense about the deal yesterday)—completely ignorant, yet always eager to meddle… I don’t make bad deals!”

Typical empty-handed haggling—nothing even close to being settled. Even if one assumes Trump will eventually yield to market forces or other pressures, there remains ample room for maneuvering in between.

Monday is a U.S. public holiday; how could he possibly send positive news to Asia during the U.S. stock market closure? It defies logic.

CBS Columbia Broadcasting System exclusive report: U.S. officials and intelligence indicate that Mojtaba is hiding in a secluded secret location, accessible only through a labyrinthine, complex courier network. This is also a core reason why negotiations are taking so long—obtaining authorization is extremely difficult.

CBS also claims solemnly that most Iranian leaders “spend their days without sunlight, holed up in heavily fortified bunkers for weeks on end, and avoid speaking to each other unless absolutely necessary.”

From Iran’s perspective, the war may have reached its most grueling phase—both sides are suffering.

If they endure just a little longer, perhaps all their sacrifices could finally pay off.

A classic battle of national destiny.

This might be the greatest driving force behind their ability to keep resisting.
