Trump just called off a massive weekend attack on Iran after Gulf allies begged him to stand down, saying a deal was imminent. Now Iran is out here claiming no talks are even planned. President Trump told reporters the strike was ready to go, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran itself asked him to pull back because they thought a deal covering the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program was close. He said negotiations were set to begin Monday afternoon. Hours later, Iran’s Foreign Ministry flat-out denied it — no talks scheduled, no negotiators moving, nothing. Iran's foreign minister is conveniently on a pilgrimage and unavailable. Classic. This is the same regime that has been choking global energy markets and racing toward a bomb. Trump is keeping the military option hot while testing whether Iran is serious or just playing the same old game. Regular Americans watching oil prices, Israel’s security, and another endless Middle East mess need to understand what is actually happening here.Pat also covered: "Spider-Man" crushes record — is the “superhero fatigue” narrative finally dead?
