Elon Musk, a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, met with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Monday in New York in a session that two Iranian officials described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/14/world/middleeast/elon-musk-iran-trump.htmlThe Iranians said the meeting between Mr. Musk and Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani lasted more than an hour and was held at a secret location. The Iranians, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss policy publicly, described the meeting as “positive” and “good news.”

Might be ideal scenario but on the other hand imagine how much the right would flip out if Dems, especially those without official government positions would have all the secret meetings with hostile nations like Trump's folks do. There was a lot more of that back in the first term and we haven't even started the second one yet.Does anyone else smell a coup?
I certainly would like to see a change in the Iranian regime but not brought about by the most dangerous psychopath(s) on the planet.Might be ideal scenario but on the other hand imagine how much the right would flip out if Dems, especially those without official government positions would have all the secret meetings with hostile nations like Trump's folks do.

Funny, i came across this a bit earlier:
An Israeli-Moldovan rabbi living in the United Arab Emirates has gone missing, with Israeli authorities raising the suspicion Saturday he may have been kidnapped as tensions remain high with Iran.

Western officials believe Iran runs intelligence operations in the UAE and keeps tabs on the hundreds of thousands of Iranians living across the country.

Ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel is very close in 24 to 48 hours.
