In his address to the UN General Assembly, President Trump declared all the world’s nations to have a duty to cut ties with Iran, saying “no responsible government should subsidize Iran’s bloodlust,” adding that sanctions will continue to be tightened.
At the same time, Trump made clear he saw a path to peace for Iran, and that “only the most courageous can choose peace.” This echoes Trump’s long-standing interest in talks, but reluctance to ease any sanctions.
France and Germany appeared to be backing Trump’s position on the matter, however, saying Iran needs to be willing to have “a frank and demanding discussion.” They added Iranian interest in sanctions relief was “unrealistic.”
That’s likely to be a big source of tensions within the nuclear deal, as both France and Germany are parties to the deal and obliged to deliver sanctions relief to Iran, and Iran has been faulting both for failing to deliver.
Iran’s “bloodust” – seriously? This from the mentally disturbed POTUS who obviously has no idea of US bloodlust – real bloodlust, over the past seventy years.
Yeah, I think we’ve outkilled Iran by around 20 million during that time. The deaths from our sanctions on Iraq alone dwarf anything that Iran has done during that same period.

Ladies and Gentlemen: western leadership in action. Yes, keeping a deal is unrealistic, especially once the master says jump.
“carpet bomb ISIS cities, murder “terrorists families”, waterboarding and worse”…..this pos is really denouncing bloodlust ?
Iran has bloodlust? Interesting. Can someone remind me how many nations Iran has invaded and wrecked since, oh, well before WW1?
Wow! “Speak with forked tongue” or what?
Bloodlust? The shoe is on the US foot that ran the biggest ever gun and jihadi running operation into Syria resulting in immense suffering, death, and destruction. Fortunately the people of Syria stood strong against the vile strategy of the US and its Anglosphere and EU vassals. Iran is even stronger.
So much for France and Germany’s probability of doing anything to restore the JCPOA. That was always not on the table, no matter what France claimed. INSTEXT was a non-starter to begin with. The whole purpose of that nonsense was to enable the EU to avoid being blamed for the derailment of the JCPOA and the subsequent war with Iran.
And yet here we are again, with Trump claiming he wants “peace” – and fools believe him – just like they believed Bush when he claimed all Iraq had to do was prove a negative and get rid of WMDs that didn’t exist.
When are Trump supporters going to wake up and smell the feces? Their hero is a buffoon and a liar. He intends a war with Iran – he just doesn’t want to be blamed for it, just like Obama. (And the 2020 election is irrelevant, no matter what they claim.)
