Bloomberg reported today: President Trump expressed skepticism about reaching a diplomatic agreement with Iran, further highlighting the divergence between both sides in efforts to end the conflict. "I say their combat capability is poor, but their negotiation skills are strong—they're begging for a deal," he said.
Commentary: While Trump publicly calls for negotiations, he simultaneously deploys large-scale military reinforcements to the Middle East and intensifies military deployments—clearly a classic tactic of maximum pressure combined with a war distraction. The claim that "Iran is pleading for a deal" is purely a public relations maneuver, designed to lull the adversary, stabilize market sentiment, and buy time for subsequent large-scale military operations or even ground warfare.
